Failure - Intellectual

[Intro: ??? & Origin Storey]

*Page flipping*

Psst

Huh? Who's there?

You will fail

Come out, who said that?

You

[Verse 1: Origin Storey]

Do you expect perfection cuz I do now

I'm probably 3 minutes from a meltdown

My parents the reason I fear being a letdown

I'm down for the count but don't count me out

They raised me to be the better man

My older siblings made mistakes I didn't understand

To the point looking up to them felt banned

But I'm at the point I don't like the comparisons to them

My girl told me that I lack action

Seems them Psych classes helped hеr see the boy

That didn't like making any noise

Afraid it'd gеt in the way of my parents’ choice

Hope they don't think hate is in my voice

But I wasn't unloved, I got their attention

My parents gave me whatever I claim I wanted

They invested in what I felt like becoming

Whether it was the president or CB krumping

[Chorus: Origin Storey]

I don't even tell myself the truth

Please tell me why you think I'd tell you

Confidence don't follow when I leave the booth

Why do I feel so responsible for the youth?

I'm drowning in a puddle, every sound is muffled

They got him muzzled with the end of the barrel

You can tell that I'm a failure from how I maneuver

[Verse 2: Ego]

Everything I did was for self-betterment

Lies can chip teeth and cause a speech impediment

Developing my own regimen

Where I focus on people's relevance

In my life, this is what I came to find

They thought I had a perfect life

We both know that's a lie

I faced trying times

But the truth is much more depressing

When I feel threatened by somebody

I know I'll always be bested

I look around at my work asking myself will this work

How will I value my worth, other's words irk my nerves

To the point where moving hurts, ah

Momma didn't raise a fighter it honestly got beat out of me

I say I'll do my best but it's always a probably

Wondering if what I was doing was helping

At this point my thermostat is melting

Boiling to the brim, thought I was failing

Letting down everyone from a glorious setting
