About :(failure(:

With an instrumental written by Mac DeMarco and Alex G in the background, in “:(failure(:” Lil Yachty goes into the spoken-word about topics of happiness, failure and wealth. In his opinion, failure is not a complete dead-end – it’s a point where you try to understand where you went wrong and go a different way. You need to try out more things (even if they are really different from your directions in life) to get to the point where you are certainly personally happy. .

:(failure(: Lyrics

[00:16.00] I've seen, um, well
[00:20.77] I've seen failure a few times
[00:24.00] More recently than before actually
[00:27.68] You know, it's quite interesting how much more complicated things get
[00:33.00] When you become quote on quote "rich and famous"
[00:38.89] I say, I say quote on quote because
[00:41.10] You know, ones man's rich to the next could be a step from poverty
[00:47.36] It's hard explaining that to someone narrow minded
[00:50.22] Seeing the world with two eyes shut
[00:54.59] You know, I realized that, you know?
[00:56.05] Some people can't feel what they haven't seen
[01:00.56] So, there's no point in me trying to explain my troubles
[01:06.02] It's not that I don't think anyone cares but
[01:10.72] I think like, it's up to me to fix or deal with them you know
[01:16.75] I kinda look at everything, like, well
[01:18.56] No matter what, I mean, it it could be worst, ya know?
[01:22.48] Like, okay, say, say if I lost a finger
[01:26.15] I'd be like, well, I still have nine
[01:30.00] Or, or even like, when someone broke into my house I felt like
[01:36.06] Well I'm certain they needed it more than I did
[01:38.42] Those things are replaceable, you know?
[01:41.04] It kinda just helps with stress levels to think that way, ya know?
[01:46.05] Kinda like, well
[01:48.64] It could be worse, oh well
[01:51.67] Easier said than done, I'm sure
[01:55.04] But failure, aw man, failure, that took time to understand
[02:01.66] You know? Like failure doesn't mean defeat
[02:04.94] But more so, like, try again, shit
[02:08.53] Shit, try even harder
[02:11.15] Revise your steps and rewrite your future
[02:14.54] Failure to me isn't, like, always a negative thing
[02:19.10] But more so
[02:22.41] More so, like
[02:24.30] Just a way to re-look at things
[02:30.40] You know, you never know how close you are to success
