Because I can't get ahead for falling behind
I can't get ahead for falling behind
I can't get ahead for falling behind
Cause if it never fails it never fails everytime

Yo, hand to the wireless as I try to guess my potential for a cardiac arrest
Yes I'm blessed just to say that the stress, caved in my chest to the point of fall-out you can hear me call-out
To the One God almighty and His son to stand beside me, looking for the light just to guide me
On these righteous scrolls I flow slow, so foes won't find me, and those fraudulent hoes won't try me ah oui
Searching for this cream in the lottery ah oui, scheming to grow the green like pottery
Is it just a dream or commodery that we're searching for, brothers want the grand prize
We picked the wrong doors

'Cause I can't get ahead for falling behind
Can't get ahead for falling behind
Can't get ahead for falling behind
Cause if it never fails it never fails everytime
I can't get ahead for falling behind
I can't get ahead for falling behind
I can't get ahead for falling behind
Cause if it never fails it never fails everytime

There's no reason to be happy, slap me in the face with the reality check
Because reality bites and that's were tragedy strikes
A full moon and dark clouds to keep me home at night
For fear that I'll come nearer to the light
At the end of the tunnel I funnel my discontentment and resentment at the risen tide
Of sorrow, tomorrow gotta borrow dough before they decide my underwater go
Fallin' like geronimo I know inside of me decidedly, got too much pride to be blinded
By detainees you get and buy with these measly, five dollars an hour that I shower for
And now I intend my best interest that I digested as an omnivour
And onto more tribulations in waiting, fearing that I am comming nearer to my destination
My motivations derailed, I never let emotion prevail until now

Because I found that you can't get ahead for falling behind
Can't get ahead for falling behind
Can't get ahead for falling behind
Cause if it never fails it never fail everytime
I can't get ahead for falling behind
You can't get ahead for falling behind
We can't get ahead for falling behind
Cause if it never fails it never fail everytime

Strife is my companion for life, but now I've abandoned the old
Trifle and raws making life hard, I could say that I consolidated
Problems are plenty and my days are approximated
120 ways to rhyme but I choose all, of the available a veteran to build stocks
That be disabling crews, cover up like ??? to feel the blast, fast
My words spread like a rash
We taking every measure to treasure the fly rhymes like it's ash
At last, we bringin' quality first class yo
Perceived in the opposite way, cause I leave myself lost cause of precautions I'm reluctant to heed

Just ask me who's the one the perfect or descend the expert
Or the beginner sour or is it bitter to taste
I lay waste and face all my problems and my way, so we pray

Because aside of 6 feet of ground and gravel, is where I sleep unless I decide to pound the gavel
And earn the keep

At times I can hear the maker calling, I try to stay on my feet but keep falling

Cause I can't get ahead for falling behind
I can't get ahead for falling behind
I can't get ahead for falling behind
Cause if it never fails it never fails everytime

I can't get ahead for falling behind
You can't get ahead for falling behind
We can't get ahead for falling behind
Cause if it never fails it never fails everytime
Everytime, everytime can't get ahead for falling behind

Dedicated to the late Robin ???, so we carry on
