Pray I'll Be a Failure

(Sho) Day by day, my life seems to deeper Cause everywhere I go I see the same fake people I remember back in the days when thangs was tough They wouldn't even take the time to say wassup And my family's even worse dude Can't stand to see me doin, better than they doin Tryin ta keep a brother down low They can't stand to see Sho get that little bit mo' I guess they all on the same level See they was born broke and they gon' die broke together It's enough I gotta fight in the streets G Come home and gotta fight with my family But see I'll just learn to take it No matter how good I do there'll someone that hate it Thinkin of a way that they could nail me Jealous of the next man, prayin' I'll be a failure (Sho) So-called friends, man I got so many Remember the days when I didn't have any Broke as a joke ridin the metro bus As sure as I'm Sho, I was down on my luck Got me a job, bought myself a new Caddie Soon after that, my boss thought he was my daddy On my back for every little tit tat Mad at me because I'm ridin in a 'lac I had to move on, before he got the nerve to fire me Cause if he did, nobody else would hire me Man its a shame people wanna see ya fail But all thats swell, cause I'mma prevail so go to hell Check me out (Willie D) Will used to jack, peel a suckas cap Will used to pack, pull the trigger perhaps Then along came rap And I was saved from diggin myself an early grave Or gettin locked up in an institution Am I the problem or the solution? Cause when I was broke it seemed everybody wanted me to raise But now that I'm paid They can't wait to see me fall on my face Every time I turn around somebody on my case I feel like a crab in a bucket Sometimes I just wanna say... See thats how you want me to sound But where I'm from only failure's lay em down Tryin' to ban rap cause it makes me wealthy Not because the rhymes are filthy But I know the rules of the game bein told Tyson, Kennedy, rap, rock and roll So come on witcha label I'm not lettin nobody take food off my table I'm ready, willin, and able cause I can't be stopped But some-a y'all are brainwashed Sittin around pointin fingers waitin on some help Insteada tryin to do for self, yeah Even my friends I used to count on Lookin for a hand out insteada tryin to get they own And if I ain't down with that They say I'm high cappin, and actin like I'm all that Me be a loser, is what they want I'm damned if I do, damned if I don't So keep prayin for my downfall But I'm here to tell ya WIllie D won't be another failure Yeah, Wize Up on the rise up And we gon' continue to get ours Cause we gon' do whatever it take, yeah Either roll with us, or we gon' roll right over ya Don't make me no difference
