Jake Mercer - Level Up

Grew up on the other side of perfect
Started putting work in cause I thought that I deserved to be best
You don't even know about the stress
Or the sleepless nights holding weight up on my chest
I digress, hardly any food up on my plate
Gramming out a half a pound, looking for escape
You would think that I was great, check me mental state
Thoughts of suicide are what I contemplate
People in my circle got they knives out
Stab me in the back wanna kill me with their lies
But when we're face to face they don't look me in the eyes
Acting like they love me but they're villains in disguise, uh
I put my hands up, eyes to the sky
Take a fucking chance with my eyes on the prize
And i realize that it's only me I can rely
Open up my eyes, imma jump, imma fly
Failure is not an option
Failure is not an option
When I rhyme I slide inside an alternate dimension
Visual of a vortex flowing through the cortex of a madman
Some call me bad man, the killer
Cock back, spit the fucking heat
I'm a pillar of insanity, calamity, the end of the road
Snakes try to bite but I kill em with the flows
I suppose there's more to life than being fucking broke
Even if I fail I'm still standing on my toes
Fuck em all, I don't give a fuck about my foes
Or the voices in my head that always tell me no
Or that God damn bitch, that dragged me on the floor
I made the fucking switch now them haters gotta go, uh
I'm coming with the heat, screaming from the core
Killing every beat til they're begging me for more
Imma keep giving til my lungs get sore
It's my fucking time now im banging through the door
Failure is not an option
Failure is not an option
Failure is not an option
Failure is not an option
Always be prepared you for the hate
Well I'm well aware my fate is to rise above
Make something great out of nothing
For those of you thought that i was bluffing
You'll get stuffed in the trunk, I'm a shotgun, pump
Making everybody jump, how high?
Through the ceiling
Touch the fucking sky and i ride on the feeling
It's appealing how we heal when the hate is revealed
Everybody try to steal but nobody wanna build
And I feel I'm the only one who's being real
Driven to the point that I only wanna kill
So i cock back, bust that, attitude, fuck that
Stuck in the muck and I wonder where my luck at
None.
I facilitate, fashioning my own fate
Stomache ache, hungry, fillin up my whole plate
I'm the only one who dictates where my road goes
Burn it all down from the ashes I arose
Failure is not an option
Failure is not an option
Failure is not an option
Failure is not an option
Failure is not an option
Failure is not an option
Failure is not an option
Failure is not an option
