Only Falling

If you give up after the first time
Or the 5th time
Or the 30th time
What that really means
Is you didn't want it bad enough
There should be something you're believing for
That you are relentless

You don't wanna be a failure
That's why you gotta fail forwards
And I ain't gonna be a failure
That's why I gotta put my all in
My people they don't need persuading
They know that soon we gon' be balling
And if you thought that you were failing
Don't ever stop keep pushing on your calling
'Cause the Truth is

I don't wanna be a failure
But I know on to chase to make good paper you gotta fail on the way
You'll look in recollection at the ending of the day
Noticing the imperfection got you better at the play
You'll get the recognition when you're strong enough to stay
Focused on your mission so don't lead your mind astray
And still stay pushing while they're praying that you stay
Stagnant in your section 'cause you lost a couple K
There ain't no Ls because there's blessings in 'em
The only loss is failing to see all the lessons given
The only boss who can tell you how to make your decisions
Is the one who authority on your life you've given
Go find the people who truly want to see you winning
If they've got good advice then maybe you should listen
Not the ones who only want to lead you to be filling
Their bank account 'cause they'll keep draining you until you've given
Every ounce of your soul
It might be time for you to go
And find another way to make a living 'cause you're told
There's no other way you can be winning but the road
That they laid out for you in the system
I'm on another mission
To free your mind with this wisdom
Your story's just beginning this is just the first edition
You'll find a major way to build the life that you're wishing
You might have to be braver I know you're thinking

You don't wanna be a failure
That's why you gotta fail forwards
And I ain't gonna be a failure
That's why I gotta put my all in
My people they don't need persuading
They know that soon we gon' be balling
And if you thought that you were failing
Don't ever stop keep pushing on your calling
'Cause the Truth is you were only falling

But you don't need to stay down
Just grab your laces, tie 'em, lift & pick yourself off the ground
In the moments no one's looking that's when greatness is found
'Cause who are you truly when no one is around?

You don't wanna be a failure
That's why you gotta fail forwards
And I ain't gonna be a failure
That's why I gotta put my all in
My people they don't need persuading
They know that soon we gon' be balling
And if you thought that you were failing
Don't ever stop keep pushing on your calling
'Cause the Truth is you were only falling
