You Didn't Fail I Did (feat. Amanda Michelle)

Looking at my mommas eyes with them tears in em Can't believe I'm the reason for why they appearing She said she didn't do enough, she wasn't there for me But none of that is true since she did everything Motel maid making minimum still she killing em Did the best that she could to keep my soul innocent But ain't no way that was possible not where I was raised Living everyday in fear thinking this could be your day Shit is crazy out here man All this hurt because of a goddamn beer man Shouldn't have drove, shouldn't have left my girl behind She real with her words I'm sure she would've stopped me in time Was just too sick in the mind I was moving so blind When I was held up inside She ain't hear my voice at all Probably felt as alone as I did on that day Thinking she had a part to play but you didn't fail girl... I did Sometimes yeah it's gonna rain Everyday can't be your day I know I'll be okay You didn't fail... I did Know you wanna wish it all away And shield me from all the pain But then a lesson I wouldn't gain You didn't fail... I did Just grabbed some chicken with my father we eat lunch on Tuesdays All we do during our talks is give each other free game I'm tryna be like him while he tryna be like me But ever since that tragic day I'm finally starting to see That I can't follow every step every move Because for sometime in the past he had a terrible groove Told me to learn from him and I thought I did but I didn't Felt so invincible should've known my luck was finished I'd reached my limit Goddamn never thought I'd be in this man But I am so my mistakes I gotta live with Still gotta set an example Still got my business to handle So with my life I can't gamble Or end up bagging at Randall's I'm tryna be on that mantle Looked at like someone that matters Who once had his world shattered But didn't care for they chatter Cuz those that talk just gonna talk ya know You didn't I fail I did... okay next episode let's go Sometimes yeah it's gonna rain Everyday can't be your day I know I'll be okay You didn't fail... I did Know you wanna wish it all away And shield me from all the pain But then a lesson I wouldn't gain You didn't fail... I did Oh man just working towards making things clear I want to make it so we ain't got nothing to fear Feed the family first then you get second dibs At least in my case since they always held down the kid 25 Now still got them all by my side Thank god he kept me here feeling so damn alive No easy way out that's the motto that I live by Since it took a lot for me to get here yeah a lot of trials Leave the curtain up baby yeah I'm just getting started This the outro but fuck it we gonna throw a party Toast to the blessings and achievements that we've all had Nobody thought we'd be nothing now look at where we at Top floor living Only one mission All the faults I've had Been the ammunition And I'm shooting at you live like the Joker Boy I told you Don't say I can't before I go and show you Real talk Sometimes yeah it's gonna rain Everyday can't be your day I know I'll be okay You didn't fail... I did Know you wanna wish it all away And shield me from all the pain But then a lesson I wouldn't gain You didn't fail...

I did Momma they try and break me But I will never fall I will only gain from all the pain they caused But I too have cause pain And hurt those I love Yet somehow someway I'm still special to them I've never been perfect I've never been spotless But one thing I have been Is the best at not stopping And even at my lowest I know I have you, friends and family Thank god for these blessings Thank you for having me Always taught me to never listen to Anything negative out of another persons mouth Especially when they tried to say I took the easy way out
