0:00Album on hold whole word on hold
0:02The crowd is like "ho " operator's like "hold"
0:05Man now ain't that cold
0:08I'm just trying to talk to my homie that's up in the hole
0:11Homegirl ain't trying to be a hoe even though she on a pole
0:14Can she get a second chance NO
0:16Whoa Like the opposite of gold
0:19That's how it's supposed to be: a butterfly
0:21For the sake of rhyming let's just say "butterflyee"
0:24The truth stings like Muhammad Ali
0:27I tell 'em tell 'em don't homicide me
0:30I just a little old hope with his back against the ropes
0:33Fighting for his fans and fighting for his folks
0:35But the boo's from the crowd they become so loud
0:38If I could block em out then I could knock em out then
0:41Dance around the ring but until then I'll say
0:44I'mma keep it cool and I'mma do me
0:46It is what it is and that's how it's gon' be
0:49Until I get there
0:50Until I get there
0:54And yeah I got flaws I know I'm not perfect
0:57But all ups and downs will soon be worth it
1:00When I get there
1:02When I get there
1:05"Doctor doctor please The fame ain't painless enough"
1:09That's cause you ain't famous enough
1:11You got a little game but your name ain't ringing enough
1:14He said "take 2 of these and put change in my cup"
1:17I said I wasn't poor he gave me some more
1:20Prescribed me a publicist and pointed me to the door
1:22"Out " Ouch I'm telling you this all from a therapist's couch
1:28"Tell me about your mother What she's all about "
1:31Prescribed me an interview and then told me to bounce
1:33Damn geez The world is so cold I'm glad I bought these skis
1:39Went right off of the bunny slopes and right into the trees
1:42Went unconscious they rushed me to a concert
1:45Instead of green jello they made me chicken soup
1:47They fed me magazine covers and video shoots
1:50I'mma keep it cool and I'mma do me
1:52It is what it is and that's how it's gon' be
1:55Until I get there
1:57Until I get there
2:01And yeah I got flaws I know I'm not perfect
2:03But all ups and downs will soon be worth it
2:06When I get there
2:09When I get there
2:12And when I finally make it I'mma stunt so hard
2:15Evil as Knievel I'mma jump so far
2:18Way up in the atmosphere I ain't coming back
2:20Be a jerk to these jerks yeah that'll make em hurt
2:23Huh Instead of young boy in the mirror
2:26A young version of me so I started to tear up
2:29He said "you need to cheer up your mind need to clear up
2:31You're already here just be yourself from here up"
2:34Then he disappeared and I felt something familiar
2:37Something I was taught something I had lost
2:40If you are afraid the fear that you gon' change some
2:43All you gotta do is just remember where you came from
2:45I'mma keep it cool and I'mma do me
2:47It is what it is and that's how it's gon' be
2:50Until I get there
2:53Until I get there
2:56And yeah I got flaws I know I'm not perfect
2:58But all ups and downs will soon be worth it
3:01When I get there
3:04When I get there
3:05Till I Get There - Lupe Fiasco
