[Verse 1 - Corny]
I dropped another tape this very year. I removed that sh** had to make it very clear
That I'm very serious about this this rap sh**. Wasn't quite good enough so I scratched it
Still they couldn't match it
It's cool you got a goal, I got 3 like a hat trick
Only one egg, only one basket , praying everyday that eventually it hatches
That sh**, I couldn't do. I'll go for egg and snatch it get sh**
Cracking early at the crack of dawn, gotta grab the mic and get my rapping on
Run this sh**, gimme that baton, said I run this sh** now pa** it on
Every track I'm on could be a platinum song. Now I'm bouta blow up like an atom bomb
New sound, coming much too loud, bouta turn the industry to a mushroom cloud
Saying that your "on" shut up, dude now, I'm coming up quickly to shut you down;
Power off. No hours off, got sour cough in our esophagus
Do sh** my way never change up, if they they get up in my lane just
Speed up, get em out the way. Listen up to what I'm about to say
Don't focus on tomorrow worry about today, and try to work on something you'd be proud to say
That through a lot of hate and all amounts of pain, through a couple sunny days, a lot of clouds and rain
Through it all you found a way, to avoid failure in a thousand ways
[Hook - Corny]
Thousand ways to fail, a couple to succeed
I been working at this sh** I swear that this is what I need
They do it for the money, they want it out of greed
I want it cuz I love it, it's in my soul, it's what I bleed
There's a thousand ways to fail
(thousand ways to fail)
There's a thousand ways to fail
(thousand ways to fail)
There's a thousand ways to fail
(thousand ways to fail)
There's a thousand ways to fail
(thousand ways to fail)
[Verse 2 - Corny]
I've got a thousand ways to fail, but see success on the horizon
Your son is rising, mom and dad. Maneuver through all of the lies and
Guys despise him as he's striving, but his drive is unaffected
Like Verizon, he's connected to this music he perfected
Still he's climbing undetected, as he grinds to be respected
In this industry of mystery they lie to get a check with
Their name but he won't do that, staying true at any cost
Whether boom-bap or some new rap, there's a point to get a cross
And that's never getting lost, but then a label tracks him down
Throws some commas on some paper and they offer him a crown
Say you'll wear this if you sign here, initial, write the date
And he's too caught up in the moment to even recognize his fate
They start deciding what he makes, and it's sh** his old fans hate
Now they tell him he sold out and lost potential to be great
And he knows there's no escape and the label loves the sales
Kinda funny, fame and money can be another way to fail
[Hook - Corny]
Thousand ways to fail, a couple to succeed
I been working at this sh** I swear that this is what I need
They do it for the money, they want it out of greed
I want it cuz I love it, it's in my soul, it's what I bleed
There's a thousand ways to fail
(thousand ways to fail)
There's a thousand ways to fail
(thousand ways to fail)
There's a thousand ways to fail
(thousand ways to fail)
There's a thousand ways to fail
(thousand ways to fail)
