Almost

From Your Arms Are Too Short to Box Wit God2025

Lyrics

Almost

[Intro: Propaganda]

Alright, this song is about the word "almost"

The role it plays in my life and yours (Yeah)

[Verse 1: Propaganda]

I'm afraid but I stay so close (Afraid)

That the best I’ll ever be is "almost"

The biggest opener, most famous no-namer

What he coulda been, really dope, where he been?

Almost the greatest Grammy-nominated (Yeah)

Know any and all accolades, they seemed to evade him

It never let it shade him, fame wasn't the aim, but

What remained essential was rеaching full potential

And speaking to the mеntal of as many as who would listen

I stuffed them bars as full as I could with real wisdom

"Prop was so close, he was finna pop" (Close, pop)

"We all knew when that next project dropped"

There was so much buzz, there was so much love

Tour plans, marketing plans, interviews, SoundScans

So close, happen any day now, proper preparation

With the patience was the foundation laid down

[Hook 1: Propaganda]

Almost, right there

So close I could see it, but it's "almost"

So close, it’s right there

I stay reaching, but I only seem to grab air

It's not fair, it's so close

It feels like God's will for me is "almost"

I give thanks for what matters most

I'm so afraid what they'll say of me is "almost"

[Verse 2: Propaganda]

("Homie, almost", huh) Yeah, almost

I feel like my whole life was just—

But then again, all the times that I didn't win

A bad wave had me floating on the wrong boat

Almost a thing, almost a fling

A summertime single night changed your whole life stream

Sucker for the melanin made at the equator

The shades, and the shapes, and the dances, and tastes that

You'd be so convinced this is it, finna be lit

You’d be like: "Ayy, Creator, why You being such a hater?"

Wait, but when the fight starts, the poetry of Rumi

Fails to prepare you for thrown plates of sushi

But if all you knew or seen was dysfunction

Then all that was normal, and at this junction

I need saving from myself, my cravings are broke

Because the only thing that saved me was maybe an "almost"

[Hook 2: Propaganda]

Almost, right there

Close call, better thank God for "almost"

Was so close, huh, was right there

A short fall, ’bout to almost risk it all

A bad "Yes" or a good "No"?

Close call, better thank God for "almost"

I give thanks for what matters most

My whole life could've changed, homie, almost
