Almost

Intro

Uh

Baaaa-by

Mm

Verse 1

Four in the morning and the walls are breathing slow

Check it

Front door locked twice and the blinds stay closed

I used to laugh at death like it owed me rent

Now I count my heartbeats till the pulse gets spent

Glass on the curb still sparkles where I bled

They say you lucky boy but lucky almost dead

Pre-Chorus

And every headlight sweepin past my window pane

Feels like a ghost town knockin at my name

I ain't been outside in eleven straight days

The sun looks like a stranger in a borrowed frame

Chorus

Almost

Almost took the last breath out my chest

Almost left my baby with her father laid to rest

Now I'm scared to walk the block I ran so wild

Scared of every shadow that I used to smile at

Almost

Verse 2

Uh

They sold me dreams about the top floor view

Penthouses and Lucre and Maybachs brand new

But the cream can't stop the tremble in my hand

All that slick talk died in the sirens and the sand

Pa let me tell you what the trauma really cost

When the lights went out the immortality got lost

Pre-Chorus

And every knock is a reason to hold my breath

Every motor idlin is a rehearsal for my death

I hear the old me laughin from a world I can't afford

The smooth nigga famous for the bulletproof word

Chorus

Almost

Almost took the last breath out my chest

Almost left my baby with her father laid to rest

Now I'm scared to walk the block I ran so wild

Scared of every shadow that I used to smile at

Almost

Bridge

Baaaa-by

They tell me Big you still a legend in the game

But legends gotta sleep with every light aflame

I trade the Moschino for a bulletproof vest

They buried the bravado somewhere in my chest

Runnin from the reaper is a lonelier fight

Than all that fuck all y'all when I was tight

Chorus

Almost

Almost took the last breath out my chest

Almost left my baby with her father laid to rest

Now I'm scared to walk the block I ran so wild

Scared of every shadow that I used to smile at

Almost

Outro
