Lyrics:

Album on hold, whole world on hold
Crowd is like 'Ho!' operator's like 'Hold' (Please hold)
Man, now ain't that cold, I'm just tryin' to talk to my homie
That's up in the hole. And homegirl not tryin' to be a ho
Even though she on the pole, can she get a second chance? No.
Whoa. Like the opposite of go. That ain't how it's supposed to be
A butterfly, but for the sake of rhymin' let's just say butterflyee
The truth stings like Muhammad Ali.
I tell 'em tell 'em don't homicide me
I'm just a little old hope with his back against the ropes
Fightin' for his fans and fightin' for his folks
But the boos from the crowd can become so loud
If I can block 'em out then I can knock 'em out and
Dance around the ring but until then I'll sing

I'ma keep it cool and I'ma do me
It is what it is and this how it's gon' be
Until I get there, Till I get there
And yeah I got flaws, I know I'm not perfect
But all the ups and downs will soon be worth it
When I get there, When I get there

Doctor, Doctor, please, the fame ain't painless enough
'That's 'cause you ain't famous enough
You got a little game, but your name ain't ringin' enough,'
He said, 'Take two of these put some change in my cup'
I said I wasn't poor he gave me some more
Prescribed me a publicist, and pointed to the door
Out. Ouch. I'm tellin' you this all from a therapist's couch
'Tell me 'bout your mother. What she's all about?'
Prescribed me an interview and then told me to bounce.
Damn. Geeze. The world is so cold I'm glad I bought these skis.
Went right off of the bunny slopes and right into the trees.
Rendered unconscious, they rushed me to a concert
Instead of green jello, and made me chicken soup
They fed me magazine covers and video shoots

I'ma keep it cool and I'ma do me
It is what it is and this how it's gon' be
Until I get there, Till I get there
And yeah I got flaws, I know I'm not perfect
But all the ups and downs will soon be worth it
When I get there, When I get there

And when I finally make it I'ma stunt so hard
Evil as Knievel, I'ma jump so far
Way up in the atmosphere, I ain't coming back
Be a jerk to them jerks, yeah that'll make 'em hurt
'Huh?' said a young boy in the mirror
A young version of me, so I started to tear up
He said, 'You need to cheer up, Your mind need to clear up
You're already here. Just be yourself from here up'
Then he disappeared and I felt something familiar
Something I was taught, something I had lost
If you are afraid or fear that you gon' change some
All you gotta do is just remember where you came from

I'ma keep it cool and I'ma do me
It is what it is and this how it's gon' be
Until I get there, Till I get there
And yeah I got flaws, I know I'm not perfect
But all the ups and downs will soon be worth it
When I get there, When I get there
