Innit to Win

Folks that told us
Never showed us
Plans without practice
Words without action
Lies and infractions
I’ve been more than passive
Totally unreactive
Subdued and actin
Doin math, subtractin
I’m back again
I’m playin the game
I’m doin the work
Ain’t it a shame
I’m playin the game again
I got enough heart
To come apart
And still have a little heart to lend
I’m innit to win
I’m gonna make it count
I’m innit to win
And I don’t know what winnings about
But if it’s anything like
On the second strike
Hittin a homerun
Bases loaded
And the whole team hollerin out
“Hey boy”
That’s what winnin’s about
I’m gonna make it count.
I know a man who lives in fear
Fear up to his ears
And in so much pain
Pain up to his brain
And it terrifies me
Completely and profoundly
Ya know the ocean’s deep
For a two-armed sheep
Jus tryna sleep more soundly
I’m back again
I’m playin the game
I’m doin the work
Ain’t it a shame
I’m playin the game again
I got enough heart
To come apart
And still have a little heart to lend
I’m innit to win
I’m gonna make it count
I’m innit to win
And I don’t know what winnings about
But if it’s anything line
Gettin in the mic
Singin all the favorite songs that you like
Thinkin about the girl who loves ya
Makes ya wonder bout things above you
I’m gonna make it count
I’ve been to cemeteries
You know, where everyone’s burried
Not a single one of them, my friend
Took a thing in that they carried
Folks talk about being driven
I’m on the deep end swimmin
Hell I’ll take a ribbon
Tryna take less than I’m given
I’m back again
I’m playin the game
I’m doin the work
Ain’t it a shame
I’m playin the game again
I got enough heart
To come apart
And still have a little heart to lend
I’m innit to win
I’m gonna make it count
I’m innit to win
And I don’t know what winnings about
But if it’s anything near
Seeing things clear
Havin a hella lot less to fear
Singin out loud
Whenever you’re keen to
Takin deep breaths
When ya don’t even mean to
I’m innit to win

@gregorycugnod1693 18 күн бұрын

So starting from the beginning is a tactic? Easy to say after the fact, and east to say when you don't know what it takes to write and deliver those songs. He has success because he's that good, and that way of perdorming makes it plain to see, no tricks
