Not Set Up For Failure

"Not set up for failure"

(Verse1)
This is my life(let me live it)
You judging before you could hear it
You never tried to listen to my song
And every time i say something 
Its always wrong(wrong)
You only flipped through one page 
Not a chapter 
And you didn't summarize 
No you're after (after)
You still haven't tried to find the truth trying to hurt me there's no use 
No matter what another one may sell ya
Know that im not set up for failure

(Chorus)
Opinions they dont even matter
Its even sadder(even sadder)
Trying to climb
Climb that ladder (ladder)
I will succeed
Dont you get madder
I just want to tell ya
The way my life set up
Its not set up for failure (failure)

(Verse2)

Spent to much time on this earth
Pleasing people and it really hurts(hurts)
Knowing that some people will not understand 
That before i was born 
I was already in the plan
My talk may be different than yours
But we the same 
So when i want success
Why do we complain
We should root eachother on 
Be one anothers strength
We can all be strong 
Stop downing one another all day long (long)
Listen now or you may
It can be clever
I am set up but not for failure

(Chorus)

Opinions they dont even matter
Its even sadder(even sadder)
Trying to climb
Climb that ladder (ladder)
I will succeed
Dont you get madder
I just want to tell ya
The way my life set up
Its not set up for failure (failure)


Stop dwelling on the past
Its your life 
Just make it last
You can do it
All you got to do is put your mind to it 
Playing the perfect song
We are much better 
Whether right or wrong
Falling on and off the tracks
Gotta reclaim get your life back
Listen to me im trying to tell ya 
Im not set up for failure

Chorus)
Opinions they dont even matter
Its even sadder(even sadder)
Trying to climb
Climb that ladder (ladder)
I will succeed
Dont you get madder
I just want to tell ya
The way my life set up
Is not set up for failure (failure)

Repeat until chorus fades
