:(failure(:

[Spoken Word]

I—I've seen, uh, well, I’ve seen failure a few times

More recently than before actually, you know

It's quite interesting how much more complicated things get when you become, quote-unquote, "Rich and famous"

I say—I say "quote-unquote" because, you know, one man's rich to the next can be a step from poverty

And it’s hard to explain that when you're so narrow-minded, seeing the world with two eyes shut

And I realize that, you know, some people can't feel what they haven't seen

So, there's no point in me trying to explain my troubles, huh

It's not that I don't think that anyone cares

But, I think, like, it's up to me to fix or deal with them, you know?

I kinda look at everything, like, "Well, no matter what, I mean, it could be worse, you know?"

Like, okay, say, say if I lost a finger, I’d be like, "Well, I still have nine"

Or—or even, like, when someone broke into my house I felt like, "Well, I’m certain they needed it more than I did, these things are replaceable, you know?"

It kinda just helps with stress levels to think that way, you know?

Kinda like, uh, "It could be worse, oh, well"

Easier said than done, I'm sure, huh

But, failure?

Oh, man, failure, that took time to understand, you know?

Like, failure doesn’t mean defeat, more so, like, "Try again, shit—shit, try even harder"

Revise your steps and rewrite your future

Failure to me isn't, like, always a negative thing, more so, more so, like, just a way to relook at things

You know, you never know how close you are to success
