I Cannot Fail/Thank You

Part 1: I Cannot Fail

[Verse 1: Seth Bowman]

Back when I was a young boy

I didn’t know that I could be bringing joy

So I just sat and I hid away

Far away and I hid my face

Then I started turning to music

Playing the drums was therapeutic

I wanted to be in a rock band

I wanted to be in one so bad

Me and my homies made a few bands but they fell through

(But they fell through)

But then I met Ka$h and then I made beats and then I knew

(Then I knew)

Hip-Hop was the life for me

It came in at my lowest see

I heard “Rock Bottom”

And related so much it made me see

That if I started rapping and captivating an audiencе

Then maybe fabricating some monеy so I don’t starve and shit

Wouldn’t be so hard to achieve

And I could move right on past my old past

So I could make people believe in me

And see what I see

Now people coming to me

Asking for a feature for free

I wish I could do it and best believe me

I love all the fans but some of you crazy

I never thought that I would’ve had

A platform like this to pave my own path

Yeah everyone saw me but they just look past

But now they all come back cause I’m making cash

[Hook: Seth Bowman]

If you wanna get high just say so

I got some people relying on me

So I cannot fail

I cannot fail

I carry they weight of the load

And it’s breaking the scale

Breaking the scale

I’m not wanting to die so lay low

I got some people that feel the need

To come up to me

Bring me up to speed

But they will never get my attention

I will not listen I will not listen

[Refrain: Seth Bowman]

I don’t wanna

Know what it’s like

To live my whole life

As one giant lie

So then I back up

And soon I let off

But right as I do

I have a new thought

People don’t want to mess with me

Because they will see my enemies

Fried like some burnt Rice Krispies

[Verse 2: Seth Bowman]

When I first entered into high school I knew that I was not a cool kid

I Never got invited to parties that had the liquid

I Wasn’t in that scene cause on the outside I was rigid

But these twisted thoughts made me write some lines so vivid

But now people are coming to me

Cause they want the bread and I have the cheese

But I would just squeeze their head with a three plus three plus three- That is a nine

This is a sign that there is a line

You better not cross it or there goes your life

Reach under the seat cause he has a knife

As soon as he spoke on my family he should have known that there goes his life

He should have known that there goes his life

But now it’s too late and he’s gonna die

Everyone look away lord forgive me please I pray

Today is the day, he’s in my scope

He shouldn’t have spoke

*Gunshot*

Shit

[Refrain: Seth Bowman]

I don’t wanna

Know what it’s like

To live my whole life

As one giant lie

So then I back up

And soon I let off

But right as I do

I have a new thought

People don’t want to mess with me

Because they will see my enemies

Fried like some burnt rice Krispies

[Interlude: Cole Bennett]

One thing that I noticed about all these people was a common theme

It was their mindset

They're problem solvers

They're optimistic thinkers

Where your mind is helps fuel your career

And it helps you change the world

We can't control our circumstances

But we can control how we handle our circumstances

Part 2: Thank You

[Verse 1: Keenan Layne]

We were in a band now I miss the times we jammed

Crammed in the back of car with all the cheap guitars

“Here to Mars” playing on the truck’s shitty radio

Here we go now it’s off to college to obtain knowledge

The carnage ensued upon my mind

Luckily I wasn’t blind and you weren’t either

We didn’t need a teacher

And we don’t need a preacher

Neither you or I knew we’d end up here but fuck it I love it

So you talked to Michael and began the path you walked

Still we talked I’d watch you like a hawk

Finally I gained the courage to talk

On a beat called life of a king

Still I sing about my wine stained teeth

Now isn’t that neat

It’s you who inspired me to rise to my feet

And put words to a beat

So I just wanna say thank you

You’ve changed my view

And for that I didn’t think twice about that 2X feature

To teach the woman beater a lesson no question

We killed him no Smith and Wesson

I’m guessing I’m gonna to have to spell it out for everyone

So I have his back ‘till the day that I drop dead

So watch where the fuck you tread

So I have his back ‘till the day that I drop dead

So watch where the fuck you tread

[Hook: Seth Bowman]

If you wanna get high just say so

I got some people relying on me

So I cannot fail

I cannot fail

I carry they weight of the load

And it’s breaking the scale

Breaking the scale

I’m not wanting to die so lay low

I got some people that feel the need

To come up to me

Bring me up to speed

But they will never get my attention

I will not listen I will not listen

[Verse 2: Keenan Layne]

I’m back again and my wicked pen is here to condemn

Any motherfucker who wanna get it

For my family is what’s important to me don’t you get it twisted

I told you I’m about it to get up out it and still you doubt it

Seth has done it he’s already won it this rap shits done had it

He’s carried me at my lowest

For that he is my closest friend

I’ll never forget to extend a hand

To the man who’s the reason I can stand and say this today

Convey thank you letters in this lyrical way

He’s the reason I had shit to say

And to this day he remains a friend

And together we’re going to set the trends

As soon as this year ends we’ll have millions to spend

And don’t you dare come to me saying that we were close

That just goes to show you don’t know as much as you think you do

Damn that sounds like Deja Vu

Stay the fuck away I’ll watch you decay as I fill my ashtray

We’re paving pathways with thoughts that outweigh you’re pathetic mind

[Hook: Seth Bowman]

If you wanna get high just say so

I got some people relying on me

So I cannot fail

I cannot fail

I carry they weight of the load

And it’s breaking the scale

Breaking the scale

I’m not wanting to die so lay low

I got some people that feel the need

To come up to me

Bring me up to speed

But they will never get my attention

I will not listen I will not listen

[Outro: Cole Bennett]

And I was now able to put ideas to this paper that I had been jotting around ideas with

And now

And it made me realize that this was something special

This was a lot bigger than I had anticipated
