Quite emotional, one of those songs that capture the comparisson between the past and the present. Although it is clearly about Durst's personal story, anyone can see himself inside these lyrics, while going from more mellow verse storytelling about past to more uptempo verso storytelling about present. And when does that lead? That not much has changed.
Almost Over
Lyrics
Learned how to rap as a little boy
Took a lot of crap as a little boy
Always had to fight back as a little boy
Always under attack as a little boy
Never got good grades as a little boy
I was locked in a cage as a little boy
Still, I never was afraid as a little boy
I was feeling my rage as a little boy
It's time to blow their minds
Learned how to lose as an older man
Sang a lot of blues as an older man
But I saw it all through as an older man
Put together my crew as an older man
Felt a lot of pain as an older man
I established my name as an older man
People piss on my game as an older man
Ain't nothin' gonna change as an older man
It's time to blow their minds now, baby
It's time to blow their minds now, baby
I'm on my grind now, baby
Y'all know it's my time now, baby
Come on
Who that is? What it say?
Who that is? What it say?
Who that is? What it say?
What it look like? What it look like, baby?
Who that is? What it say?
Who that is? What it say?
Who that is? What it say?
What it look like? What it look like, baby?
Got treated like a clown as a little boy
Kept my feet on the ground as a little boy
When you're living in a dream as a little boy
Ain't nothin' like it seems as a little boy
I was hatin' on the world as a little boy
I was lovin' all the girls as a little boy
I was into punk rock as a little boy
I was breaking non-stop as a little boy
It's time to blow their minds
Got treated like a chump as an older man
Mixing rock with the funk as an older man
Learned what a girl was as an older man
Now I know how to love as an older man
But I'm still a big kid as an older man
And I'd much rather give as an older man
Still I'm singing in the rain as an older man
Ain't nothin' gonna change as an older man
It's time to blow their minds now, baby
It's time to blow their minds now, baby
I'm on my grind now, baby
Y'all know it's my time now, baby
Come on
Who that is? What it say?
Who that is? What it say?
Who that is? What it say?
What it look like? What it look like, baby?
Who that is? What it say?
Who that is? What it say?
Who that is? What it say?
What it look like? What it look like, baby?
My life is one big dream, I'm lost in what it means
Don't wake me up 'cause it's almost over
These voices in my mind keep tellin' me it's time
To wake me up 'cause it's almost over
It's time to blow their minds now, baby
It's time to blow their minds now, baby
I'm on my grind now, baby
Y'all know it's my time now, baby
It's time to blow their minds now, baby
It's time to blow their minds now, baby
I'm on my grind now, baby
Y'all know it's my time now, baby
Come on
Who that is? What it say?
Who that is? What it say?
Who that is? What it say?
What it look like? What it look like, baby?
My life is one big dream, I'm lost in what it means
Don't wake me up 'cause it's almost over
These voices in my mind keep tellin' me it's time
To wake me up 'cause it's almost over
Who that is? What it say?
Who that is? What it say?
Who that is? What it say?
What it look like? What it look like, baby?
