Lyrics Failing - ExP

I'm afraid I'm afraid of failing
I put my soul into the songs I'm making
So when they fold cos no-one will rate them
Then my whole confidence is shaken
But I'm told everyone has bad days
And I know that the music I make
Fills a hole that nobody has braved
Cos most rappers still think that trap's great

Michael Jordan lost nearly 300 games
Harrison Ford was told that he'd never make
It, he tried for two years then landed a role
As an uncredited part in a film you don't know
Charles Darwin dropped out of college twice though
And was stopped from travelling cos of the shape of his nose
Which was supposed to prove he couldn't handle the trip
But he went in the end, and was immediately sick
Van Gogh sold one painting in his lifetime
Richard Branson's Mum had to give him a lifeline
She re-mortgaged her house to pay off his debt
Cos some of the records he sold weren't labelled correct
And he got hit up for tax and a big fine
And James Dyson owes a lot to his wife
She gave art lessons to help prop his business up
While he made prototypes, and most didn't work
But when he nailed it was taken to retailers
Who said it wouldn't sell and dubbed it as a failure
5 elections were lost by Churchill
And Star Wars was rejected by Universal

It's ok to fail
It's ok to suck
But it's only ok if you pick yourself up
It's ok to lose
If you fall then stand
Doubt kills more dreams than failure can
It's ok to fail
It's ok to suck
But it's only ok if you pick yourself up
It's ok to lose
If you fall then stand
Doubt kills more dreams than failure can

So if you don't succeed
Try again
It's funny how life depends
On your shite attempts
Cos as one door shuts, a window opens
A lot of us don't see it we just stare at the closed ones
And hope does nothing, like thoughts and prayers
It's nice to have faith but nought compares
To a get up and go, a little effort can show ya
That the bend in the road is not a permanent closure
It's not a reason to stop, if your belief in a God
Helps you keep on your plod and eases the fog
Just don't stop others needing their Gods
Everyone looks up to someone, believe it or not
We need role models, whatever they do
But don't think for a second that they're better than you
They gotta crap, sleep and eat, put up with junk mail
Pay bills, make small talk and most of all, fail

It's ok to fail
It's ok to suck
But it's only ok if you pick yourself up
It's ok to lose
If you fall then stand
Doubt kills more dreams than failure can
It's ok to fail
It's ok to suck
But it's only ok if you pick yourself up
It's ok to lose
If you fall then stand
Doubt kills more dreams than failure can

I failed my driving test no less than three times
First two were nightmares the third I was robbed blind
By the fourth one it felt like the examiner was kind
And took pity on the guy who failed all the time
Went to Uni to study, accountancy
Managed a year, but was meant to be around for three
I did one and left it, cos although I was accepted
I failed to get it while 18 year olds bested it
And it's a similar story with the rest of it
I failed to bring Sinoptic off a precipice
Cos I was stressed with it, I let my head just quit
And chose the easy route instead of grit
And my failures eat me alive daily
But one day my vital organs might fail me
So I keep facing my failures because
One day I may not be able to get up

It's ok to fail
It's ok to suck
But it's only ok if you pick yourself up
It's ok to lose
If you fall then stand
Doubt kills more dreams than failure can
It's ok to fail
It's ok to suck
But it's only ok if you pick yourself up
It's ok to lose
If you fall then stand
Doubt kills more dreams than failure can
It's ok to fail
It's ok to suck
But it's only ok if you pick yourself up
It's ok to lose
If you fall then stand
Doubt kills more dreams than failure can
It's ok to fail
It's ok to suck
But it's only ok if you pick yourself up
It's ok to lose
If you fall then stand
Doubt kills more dreams than failure can
