Surely Fail Lyrics

(Intro)
As I stand before you...
I confess myself disappointed....
You told me you would be nothing like them....
That you would be different...
That you would not care about followers....
About the clothes on your back!
The clothes you wear....
The shoes on your feet...how many friends you have!
HOW MANY FOLLOWERS YOU HAVE!
Is that what matters....is that what you care about?
Is that what means something to you?
That means nothing to us....
To us this is just vanity...
Vanity is not allowed where we are from...
Where we are from we are warriors
Warriors who take everything and give them nothing.....
TAKE EVERYTHING!!!!!!


(Verse 1)
Mama say,son don't put your hat where you can't reach it
So I placed it to the back,cause my paths the only thing I'm seeing

I stay dreaming,stay believing,that one day I'd see the ceiling
O what a feeling,the true meaning,what it means to be a human being

Leaning on me....ni99a please no Morgan Freeman
See cause if you ain't the shit..then you must be European!
I'm Caribbean....and I'm proud!
I will scream that shit out loud!
We the ship,we say it sternly,so you best gon take a bow
Certain shit we don't allow...
You ni99as weight me down like anchors

But for that I gotta thank yuh,now my solders will out flank yuh
We out rank,friggin blank yuh
But yuh better have the answers...

I'm X Malcolm...
I'm X Cancer...
I'm X Atom....
You no matter...Ha!

(What)What What....let's pause for a second
(WHAT WHAT)Cough Cough..aww he coming in second...place
Time weights for no man fatty!
I be stunting on you ni99as,now get to stunting like yo daddy....huhhhh

(Bridge)
Make my waffles for me...
X-tra syrup please...
I want waffles....
Making me waffles....baby

(outro)
What it is what it do...I just wanna hear my ni99as say SWOO (SWOO) (x3)

About

Genius Annotation

Surely fail is a song about reflection. About the effort placed into being different and how alike you are to so many people in the pursuit of the same ideal. The song begins with a conversation with my conscience and the realization that the promises I made for myself I inadvertently placed them aside. But all humans do this,though most won’t admit it
