Failing and Succeeding

[Chorus]
They call me Alex Dang
Dang Alex is what they say
No matter how it's said
It still ends up the same way

[Verse 1]
Through trial and errors, on a wing and prayer
I walk down this calm and cool like a ring bearer
With flair that blinds and shines when I rhyme
It's still a shot in the dark if it's not the right time
Two sides of a coin, heads or tails
For me, same thing, with success and fails
Wins and losses, it's all the same percentage
As of now, I can't have the upper advantage
My words planted and grown so I harvest
Even so it's shooting blindfolded at a target
No cheats, just beats and strings of letters
Creating a complex message when it's together
But like trying to keep two feathers in the sky
It's all up in the air no matter how hard you try
No trying to bring people down, but I'm lifting you up
50/50, half full or empty, just liquid in a cup

[Chorus]
They call me Alex Dang
Dang Alex is what they say
No matter how it's said
It still ends up the same way

[Verse 2]
So like light and dark there's two sides to a spectrum
Reflect, deflect or just protect them
Shoulder angel and devils assisting with this treble
Said the pot to the kettle, they're both metal
It's all the same if it's through the looking glass
Cooking ash and booking sass all just out your ass
But when opposites meld, it's a beautiful thing
Samples that are amplified by the fat lady sing
High tops rocked in a manner with a low five
Go inside and you'll see both the uncut and the live
Literally and figurative language paired to create
Masterpieces of new and ancient cuisine on your plate
Being full with the hunger to roll like thunder
To flash like lightning and make successes from your blunders
I have no off switch, so they tell me to dream on
Failing and succeeding is my theme song

[Chorus]
They call me Alex Dang
Dang Alex is what they say
No matter how it's said
It still ends up the same way
