[Intro]

They tell me take a number

But I can’t wait no longer

I'm over going under and enough

Have stole my thunder

Underestimated

Know one day I'mma reach you

From going south of pico to the

Top of Machu Pichu


[Chorus]

Almost there, I was almost there

Felt it with both hands

You shoulda been there

Life is so unfair, but I'm on my sun chair

No I ain't high yet but I'm almost there


[Verse 1]

I want you front row when I

Get it watch me go to the top

Ain't no reason to be jealous no one

Forced you to stop

Up until the rolling credits

Ain't no holes in this plot

And I promise I'ma take my whole squad, yea

What you know about levelling up, homie

They said its never enough, slowly

I got my heads out the clouds, OGs

Buried their heads in the dust, roadies

Now in the back of my bus, throwing

Money it's nothing to us

This ain't a blush, baby I'm drunk

This is that Asian American flush

Underachiever, out in Geneva

I can’t believe I'm lucky as fuck

I use to squeeze like five in a Kia

While one of us jumped in the trunk

Picture me rollin', I'm feelin' like Pac

No I ain’t the new kid on the block

All of the homies askin' are we there yet

I tell em, be there on the dot


[Chorus]

Almost there, I was almost there

Felt it with both hands

You shoulda been there

Life is so unfair, but I'm on my sun chair

No I ain't high yet but I'm almost there


[Verse 2: Paloalto]

내 level은 most high 보살

매봉역 앞에다 세워놔 동상

난 영감을 줬지 네 조상

벗어나려 해봐도 내 손바닥

하늘을 찌르는 욕망이

내 한계를 깨게 해 떡상

오직 평화 친구 덤파

정말 가까이 보이는 정상

별의 별 꼴 다 겪어서

난 안 떨어져 더 강해졌어

서울특별시에 별이 떴어

등반을 했지 나는 저 밑에서

Koreatown엔 별 일 없어?

이 가사를 통해서 편지를 써

우린 다 연결돼 어디서든

의심은 하지마 hundred percent

Almost there

Success 두려움 모조리 없애

내 곁에 있었던 철새들 곤란했을 때 모른 채

용서해도 이젠 절대

함께 할 리 없을 거야 평생

다 보여 꾸며낸 가짜 컨셉

내가 들춰내면 너넨 좆돼


[Chorus]

Almost there, I was almost there

Felt it with both hands

You shoulda been there

Life is so unfair, but I'm on my sun chair

No I ain't high yet but I'm almost there


[Verse 3]

I need preservatives

I don't care how they interpret it, I need my permanence

I put in way too much work for this

I put my hands and my feet in the dirt for this

I don't want to wait no, no

I've been always stuck in almost, no-go's

Lord knows that my soul so frustrated from being so close

It was the ‘life of the band’

It was who could survive through the land

Taking turns driving, having all-nighters in the back of dry cleaner vans

Getting In fights, thighs getting crammed

Paying for gas and nights that we're staying

We came home with less money but felt we invested right for the fans

Damn


[Verse 4]

Life has indeed been unfair

But we’re takin' this straight to the top, havin' taken the pain that we needed to bear

They said this our callin', but maybe it’s not

They say that it’s hot, til the day that it’s not, uh

Any day is the day it could stop, uh

And when that day comes then you're washed, spit out and then mopped up

Products, limited supply like pop-ups

Even if somehow we popped off the system has been designed to stop us

Different this time, we’ve climbed up, jumped off

Minds done, evolved

Cus' the times are changing every day

So I guess it’s time to pull off, YOX
