Lyrics
Yeah, so even if I fail, I'm still...
The Willingham, last name Person
Might win a whole one of them, it's closed curtains
To motivate many is a brother's whole purpose
Try to take 'em high, opposite or below surface
Lot of soul plus I write them solid gold verses
Learnt this before I turned six, no one is perfect
Sometimes I wonder, is it all even worth it?
Frustrated, pain, still hurtin'
I'm workin', researchin', a breakbeat surgeon
I hate fake people, make me wanna start cursin'
I can't stand bull like a brother's half Turkish
(Let me tell you!) I'm sure, yep, goddamn certain
I landed on this Earth determined to put work in
Ain't nobody give me nothin' 'cause I earned it
Mom and pops ownin' over the years, I've learnt that
Even if I fail, I'm still gon' try
And I got to build over time
The grind I am still on mine, ahh
Aight, yell it out, plus I gotta tell 'em 'bout
All the times I ain't have a dime and I was feelin' doubt
In my chest, yes, so depressed and I was in a drought
Got a whole lot of ideas, I'm tryin' to get 'em out
(Let me tell you!) A failure? Nah, I break barriers raw
So I'll encourage you to serve your's, y'all
I might appear to be small, but step to him and you'll see
I channel my chi just like the master Bruce Lee
Hands movin' in slow mo', trained in a dojo
Remains is the M.O. so eventually we get mo'
Before the long haul swim in life, I keep the tempo
Simple, so let's G-O and let them know, you know I know that
Even if I fail, I'm still gon' try
And I got to build over time
The grind I am still on mine
Let me tell you!
Exactly what I'm all about and
Friend, now where would I be if I was without them?
Somewhere strugglin' and hustlin' hard
I put my trust in God, besides that I fear nothin'
Up against tremendous odds, but I know
That nothin' comes easy, it's called survival
Why should I retire for when goals are unaccomplished?
Just livin' and walkin' with a purpose, prosperin' all
What I learned, I gotta earn my crown and
The bread'll keep pilin', I'm determined, brown and
(Let me tell you!) I'm proud as a lion in the pack he was down with
My drive, experience like it was mileage
The Earth is round, I go beyond where the clouds is
I'm tryin' to rock crowds somewhere up in the thousands
Been down since up was out of range, a lot of pain
Gotta gain lot of weight, not a game, I became
A modern king, humbler today, see
I take speech seriously 'cause your words reach
The whole world if you're doin' it right, you make a difference
My mission, upliftment, you with it? Cool
(Let me tell you!) Let's get it, I'll be willin' to the finish
Very vintage and I carry lyrics, strengthen every sentence
Studyin' it like I'm collegin', never catch me followin' a bottle
When I gotta sin, this win out
Let me give a shout
To all them folks on the way up
Stay up
Even if they don't see it, you do
Keep doin' your thing
You know what I'm sayin'?
(Let me tell you!) Let me tell you
Good morning, I'm checking through, how may I help you?
Yes, my name is Mike Willingham and I was
Checking to see the status of my application
I'll have someone check it out
