Almost There Lyrics

I'm still stressin but all in all i maintain
and im just tryna live takin it day by day
and whatever comes my way no matter what the extreme im never let it come inbetween me and my dream
im still pushin son still strivin workin my 9 to 5 and happy to be alive my daughter shes now five and man is she a jewel shes just about to be starting her first year of school and i cant believe how fast time passes when sands trickling thru the hands of the hour glass its another year gone by a new century a new melenium and i wonder what lies ahead of me was this music shit really ment to be or am i just chasing a dream thats unreal and just a fantasy but the fact is the musical genes been passed down through my family so how can they be mad at me im just going where my heart takes me and i know they really love me but sometimes its like they hate me and i dont want to have any regrets mom and dad for crying out loud im the only son yall had

ima sail that ocean til i find that peace and keep looking til i find what im tryna reach i got things on my mind that im dying to teach and if you listen we can make a mission complete

ima sail that ocean til i find that peace and keep searching til i find what im tryna reach so many things on my mind that im dyin to teach i wont stop til my minds a peace im almost there

alota people must think jess is depressed and his lifes gotta be one heck of a mess but the truth is man im blessed with family and friends and a woman that i love to death and lately our loves been put to the test but somehow we stuck it out and through it all we progressed and im sorry if you ever felt neglected or disrespected i swear to god it was never intended and even though i had a child by another girl you were still willing to let it be a part of your world and for that i give you mad respect your my life and ima make you my wife and promise you paradise cuz loving yous been like a dream come true all i see in my future is me and you and a family with lots of love hopes and dreams and a palace big enough for a king and a queen

and ima sail that ocean til i find and peace and keep looking til i find what im tryna reach i got things on my mind that im tryna teach and if you listen we can make a mission complete

ima sail that ocean til i find that peace and keep searching til i find what im tryna reach so many things on my mind that im dyin to teach i wont stop til my minds a peace im almost there

dads stressing me about a better job and my fear in destiny
and questioning me about god and i wonder about the after life im kinda scared cuz i keep making that sacrificed and put god first in my life
i used to only pray when i was troubled or when i needed help or when i was hurt or when i struggled but now days

i count the ways that im blessed being able to walk to being able to take a breath

cuz you know life aint shit to fool wit you see the changes and the strangers and people you went ot school with theres insane people that you used to be cool with but last time you seen them they were caught up in some bulshit for not being the parents that there children need and once promising athletes who smoked too much weed and some others who didnt even know they had another seed get ya head where it needs to be
ya feel me cuz if not we'll all self destruct lifes like a big gamble and sooner or later ya outta luck challenge you to be better then what you are today were so close yet so far away

and ima sail that ocean til i find and peace and keep looking til i find what im tryna reach i got things on my mind that im tryna teach and if you listen we can make a mission complete

ima sail that ocean til i find that peace and keep searching til i find what im tryna reach so many things on my mind that im dyin to teach i wont stop til my minds a peace im almost there
