If I Fail

There was a little and a pur... Through two Suburbans and... Word is bond, bond is life
 I give my life before my word shall fail
 A soldier's oath, freedom of death
 And I won't stop if I fail
 If I fail get back, can't be soft got to be tough
 If I fall get back, can't be soft got to be tough
 If I fail get back, can't be soft got to be tough
 If I fall get back, can't be soft got to be tough
 Failure, it's not an option
 Real recognize real let's get it popping
 With mathematics you can solve any problem
 That's how we make it from the top to the bottom
 Keep ya head up homie and stay confident
 It's negativity around but I'm positive
 Cuz I'm givin' everything that I got to give
 Stayin' true to myself, that's how I keep it real
 If I fail then I'll rise
 Like a phoenix before yo eyes
 Out the ashes and from the dirt
 Report for duty and put in work
 Eternal life, an iron will
 Man sharpens man, steel sharpens steel
 The hate you gave, we turn to love
 Rest in peace, one thug one love
 We can't be stopped if we don't give up
 Even though they hold us back we still find ways to come up
 A lot of people make promises with no plans to keep 'em
 But me, no matter what I'm ridin' till I get my freedom
 If I fail, then it's only a challenge to go harder
 Don't want to be no martyr so I adapt to things smarter
 It's death before dishonor
 I put that on my son and my momma
 And don't take it as a threat, that's a promise
 If in my quest to achieve my goals
 I stumble or crumble or even lose my soul
 Those that knew me would easily co-sign
 That there was never a life as hard as mine
 No father, no money, no chance, no God
 I only follow my voice inside
 If it guides me wrong and I do not win
 I learn from mistakes and try to achieve again
 Dedicated to the youth, the truth is the seed
 The stronger the root, the stronger the tree
 If we eat from the fruit, the stronger we be
 If we do it today, tomorrow we free
 Yeah, y'all put ya twos up for Tupac
 Dead Prez collaboration
 It's only two choices man, ball or fall
 Rose that grew from concrete
 And we still growin'
