| The most successful people I know have taken more than ten l’s
|
| They just kept fightin' while the rest fell
|
| I know success well, but first I had to
|
| Come to understand failure and use it as the best help
|
| See, I learnt more from one time failing
|
| Than all of my success combined, so don’t stress now
|
| When everything gettin' sent south
|
| For the height you wanna end up, in time you will be sent down
|
| You prefer how success felt, yes
|
| Instead of cryin' a river it gets you ready to set sail
|
| That’s a story lots of men tell
|
| I can’t imagine what it’s like for women knowin' that flesh helps
|
| I ain’t talkin' stem cells
|
| Sex sells, if your chest is XL then you’ll excel
|
| If you demand respect
|
| It doesn’t matter if you dress well, what matters, where your head’s held
|
| Understand knowledge is the best wealth
|
| Put trust in everything your common sense tells
|
| And always give your best self
|
| And no matter how it ends up you knowin' that you meant well
|
| Get it together whenever you mess up
|
| You’ll be better than ever, you never been better
|
| But see, the more belief you got the more better you get
|
| Whenever you get in a beef go and dead it, whatever
|
| See, the paper comes and goes, but a friend is forever
|
| Understand time is money, go and spend it together (spend it together)
|
| Chasing the stars, endeavour together
|
| And get your team out the Matrix: Nebuchadnezzar
|
| Keep walkin' a line, we walk on an edge
|
| With no fear in our heart, we got a death wish
|
| We on that next shit, they stay thinkin'
|
| In that Blockbuster video mind, we on that Netflix
|
| You’re not defined by the dollars you’re in debt with
|
| Investments, all the celebrities on your guest list
|
| The profession that you were blessed with
|
| Friendships, or the many that you have sex with
|
| Uh
|
| Take away the money, fame and drugs
|
| And check out how many exit and cherish the ones you’re left with
|
| That’s why they call it friendship
|
| 'Cause one falling out could rock the boat enough and make the rest sink
|
| What defines you is the hurdles that you’re met with
|
| The wounds you accumulate and how you go and mend it
|
| You see a child’s birth and how they cry and hurt
|
| From this dyin' Earth and how we left it
|
| I feel sorry for the next generation of kids
|
| And the state of society that they’re left with
|
| 'Cause we’re literally slaves of the digital age
|
| Instead of sayin' what we think we just text it
|
| What kind of message is that sending?
|
| Instead of stepping to our problems we’re pretending
|
| Instead of ownin' our mistakes we get defensive
|
| We can’t even talk these days without offending
|
| I’m looking in the mirror
|
| Looking in the rearview
|
| Watch should I admit to?
|
| Admit that I am evil
|
| Admit that I’m deceitful
|
| Admit that I am me
|
| Admit that I am me |
