lyrics

Failure

its failure
my familiar friend
its called failure
as cruel as shes ever been
its called failure
seen time and time again
its laid on thick as my patience grows thin

its failure
my familiar friend
its called failure
as cruel as shes ever been
its called failure
seen time and time again
but I'll face it with a grin tell I finally get a win


shes my on again off again on again lover
even when shes not around I swear I'm always thinking of her
I'm with her so much that I can't help but wonder
how the hell she has time for all you other mother fuckers
my buddy said theirs really only proof I tried
he missed the game winning shot
then he fucking cried
cause a failure is a failure and a lie is a lie
so a failures still a failure when its wholly denied
some people hide from it
some people die from it
some people exploit to market and thrive from it
some people overcome it matter fact I've done
studied every lesson that one could derive from it
the first few lines you hear when the song starts
where written way back when failure tore me apart
left without a dime to spend of a blunt to spark
I was headed for success but I missed my mark
learned to switch mentality's and faced what challenged me
sometimes you lose that's the harsh reality
but improve through the shitty and the good gets great
and those who choose to wait only seal their fate

its failure
my familiar friend
its called failure
as cruel as shes ever been
its called failure
seen time and time again
its laid on thick as my patience grows thin

its failure
my failure friend
its called failure
as cruel as shes ever been
its called failure
seen time and time again
but I'll face it with a grin tell i finally get a win

its a hell of a mentality
not everyone’s a fan
I think you cease to be a child
when your dream becomes a plan
I guess I'm saying when you work
work for something real
cause every ant should feel proud of the mountain they build
that way the workers work regardless of the standard their held to
if stopping was an option bet this bitch would of fell through
I still do feel its my duty to build new
I see few real its only natural they fear true
lyricism written as I give em clear view
of honesty abolishing these lies that steer you
success is made of failure which you won't let near you
so it often gets rejected by the few it appears to
me I play with failure on a regular basis
I love her sense of humor but I think she hates it
as I get to know her more and more I see her less and less
I mean she used to stay around me like she was obsessed
its almost like she doesn't like it when I treat her with respect
shes always bitching to her family like I'm nothing but stress
maybe I should blame sister see that's how we met
sometimes I think shes only bitter that I fucked success
yes quite the family sweeter then candy
both try’n to lock change chain and brand me
are you following the plot or should I draw it in crayon G
life's bigger then both I hope you fucks understand me

I'm talking failure
my familiar friend
its called failure
as cruel as shes ever been
its called failure
seen time and time again
its laid on thick as my patience grows thin

it was just a mixtape it should have been more i don't think I'll ever get what I'm working for
in fact you'll never hear this I'll probably never make it but even if i did i bet it happened in a basement
