Jimmy Dukes Boi - Raised To Fail lyrics

Verse 1 I Was Told When I Was Growing Up I'd Never Be sh**, I Was Told If I Tried I Would Take An L, So Often Told That My Life Would Never Mean sh**, The Definition Of Being Raised To Fail. Daddy Loved The Lakers, Daddy Loved The Bottle, Daddy Loved The Ladies, With No Regard For My Mama. Daddy Worked Hard Did Any Shift He Was Given But When It Came To The Extras That n***a Was Always Missing. Young Men Need Examples, Guidance, And Tough Love, You Was 1 Out Of 3 But I Needed All Thee Above. Had That Been The Case I Would've Shedded Many Mistakes Shown Patience With Some Decisions And Learned To Hit The Breaks. But Nah, I Was Taught That Aggression Was The Answer, And Pride Cures Pain While Manifesting To Cancer. Vices Don't Avoid Em, Even If They Destroy Ya, When You Die From It At Least You Can Say That You Enjoyed It.... Hook How Can I Win I Know That This Ain't It My haters all around me They Pile Up At The Neck The System Against Me It's Made To Box Me In But I Know I'm So Different Yea They Broke The Mold With Me Even Tho I'm Raised To Fail I Was Born To Be Better They Say Life Is What You Make It They Can't Hold Me Down Forever Verse 2 I Was Told When I Was Growing Up I'd Never Be sh**, I Was Told If I Tried I Would Take An L, So Often Told That My Life Would Never Mean sh**, The Definition Of Being Raised To Fail. Momma Loved Fashion, Momma Loved Nicotine, Momma Loved Her Image With No Regard For Her Seeds. Momma Worked Hard Was Education And Gifted But When It Came To Her Son, That n***a Was Always Missing. Young Men Need Compa**ion, Protection, And Wise Words, You Was None Out Of Three And I Needed More Than A Curve. Had That Been My Plight Would've Chosen A Better Wife Shown Wisdom In Some Approaches And Learned To Chase My Light. But Nah I Was Taught That Perception Is Your Wealth And Nothing In This World Is More Important Than Self. Problems You Deflect Em, Life's Issues You Neglect Em To The Point The Next Time That You'll See Mom Will Be In Heaven… Hook How Can I Win I Know That This Ain't It My haters all around me They Pile Up At The Neck The System Against Me It's Made To Box Me In But I Know I'm So Different Yea They Broke The Mold With Me Even Tho I'm Raised To Fail I Was Born To Be Better They Say Life Is What You Make It They Can't Hold Me Down Forever Hook Verse 3 (Seefor Yourself)
