Almost Home - GemStones

hold on, I say

Night turns dawn, have faith

We’re almost home, half way

You be strong I pray

We’re almost Home[Verse 1: Gem

What they give you?

Twenty million?

Twelve thousand?

A few Lamborghinis, couple houses

Lifetime’s supply of wire cell trousers

Got you passing turkeys out to show you care about us

But what about the life that you promote to make us doubt us?

Or robbing us of all our hope to sell a couple albums

I’m sure that this would be insulting to the brother Malcolm

And the marching that Martin thought would bring another outcome

You’re either flying in the friendly skies with the falcons

Or dyin' at the giant’s feet, right beside the mouse’s

Features more than country stores and how to buy your outfit

Why keep us numb, dumb and living on our momma’s couches?

What have we become, I can’t believe that we’ve allowed this

Shunned because I ain’t shooting guns and bagging ounces

I’d rather lose my tongue and have nothing to pronounce wit

You feel the same way, you’re just afraid to announce it[Hook: Gem

Just hold on, I say

Night turns dawn, have faith

We’re almost home, half way

You be strong I pray

We’re almost Home[Verse 2: Gem

They say the game is to be sold

I could share some stories with you Lupe ever told

From the po-lice locking Chillyup to hanging out with Hov

To the monies that I’ve never seen off albums that were sold

In the industry where everybody’s fighting for control

Over pennies when they clearly should be fighting for their souls

It stripped me of my inner peace, my energy was cold

Imagery’s the centrepiece, was empty in the soul

Friends become your frenemiesand spite you coz your goals

Hurts you, coz the ones you thought would never turn to foes

But never did I fall

My God could open doors for me no man could ever close

Grace always protecting me from wolves that come in droves

Crazy how these blasphemies coz surely I’ve been chose

My great amounts of treachery has yet to be disclosed

And my destiny’s so checked for me, respected round the globe[Hook: Gem

Just hold on, I say

Night turns dawn, have faith

We’re almost home, half way

You be strong I pray

We’re almost Home[Verse 3: Gem

Had no idea that Christian rap and Gospel music weren’t the same

I’m thinking, «What's the difference?

They both call on Jesus' name»

Tryna come to grips with it because it’s boggling my brain

Who cares how you deliver it?

You choose to rap, he choose tosing

My only issue is you people kinda box me in a lane

Put limits on a gift that God has totally ordained

I’m bumping Tasha Cobbs until I’m broken from these chains

You sure you’re doing this for God?

Or is it really for the fame?

Is it just a cover up to get your foot inside the game?

And when you make it to the topthen you’ll forget from what you came?

Are you denying the title of the genre because you’re ashamed?

Deny Me on the earth and I’ll deny you where I reign[Hook: Gem

Just hold on, I say

Night turns dawn, have faith

We’re almost home, half way

You be strong I pray

We’re almost Home (

We’re almost home

We’re almost home, we’re almost home) X4
