Cameron London - Immortal Technique

Fail
Then I fail again
Ain't no secret to it baby I'm addicted to the work
Watch me fail
Then I fail some more
If opportunity knocking
Then imma let it in the door
My technique immortalized no way around that
Copy the sound and imma take you round back
Cause I failed
Just to make it here
You impressed with me now
Come and see me in a year
Watched too many of my peers derail by cutting corners
Focused on becoming a Lucas, but not a Joyner
A speech weaver known for his truth, I'm Sojourner
Cold on the mic, this season I get warmer
I'm so journey that I'm running the camp
Digging holes in the game till they give me a stamp
No map, but I know when the treasure is found
It's a sign of the times when they pass me the crown
My technique is flawless because I work
Pastor preach
I'm using the time to correct the verse
Seen a hearse, it was carrying my dream to the grave
Told me that I gotta sacrifice my soul if I save
More than one of my goals if I survive
This Carolina rapper you started to idolize
Shocked at my successes it should been no surprise
Took the logic of the legends it's obvious I defied
Fail
Then I fail again
Ain't no secret to it baby I'm addicted to the work
Watch me fail
Then I fail some more
If opportunity knocking
Then imma let it in the door
My technique immortalized no way around that
Copy the sound and imma take you round back
Cause I failed
Just to make it here
You impressed with me now
Come and see me in a year
Barely relatable
Barely sustainable
My whole career been going against the grain
Surely I'm capable
It's not debatable
It's bout time the city gave me a chain
Walk in the rain nursing my pain to get a zenkai
Energy been fueling my gains since I was knee high
A flower boy with a spirit of flame
If I leave it all now then really nothing will change
Cause if I'm disrespected now
While I'm giving like I made it
If the money comes then how can I be jaded
Hated, how all of my love just faded
Put my heart and soul in everything that I created
Fail and succeed, live and I breathe inside my purpose
Holding all the stress, I'm crying beneath the surface
Only challenge I ever faced during a versus is me
Cause I perfected my immortal technique
Fail
Then I fail again
Ain't no secret to it baby I'm addicted to the work
Watch me fail
Then I fail some more
If opportunity knocking
Then imma let it in the door
My technique immortalized no way around that
Copy the sound and imma take you round back
Cause I failed
Just to make it here
You impressed with me now
Come and see me in a year
May not come when you want it
But it's gonna be right on time
May not come when you want it
But it's gonna be right on time
