Mistakes (Building Blocks To Success)

 

The trick y'all

As it has been for years

Is to get us all focused

Everywhere but right here

 

But no need ta regret

We all make mistakes

It's ok to recognize

To pick up and move stakes

 

Chorus 

 

Mistakes y'all

They're the building blocks to success

No need to fear em

No need to seek bein blessed

 

Ya most likely can't afford it anyway (spoken) 

 

Somma the best songs

They've been written from jail

A time to reflect

A time away from the hell

 

Hell on earth that is (spoken)

 

Life ain't all in how we see it

I can be a stick in the mud

It's mostly how we react 

Or I can simply damn the flood

 

​

Chorus 

 

Mistakes y'all

They're the building blocks to success

No need to fear em

No need to seek bein blessed

​

 

I told ya so

Them's some damning words

But if that's the worst ya got

Take a flight with the rest a the birds

 

Always bet on yourself

Never worry about the devil

Bein damned ain't so bad

I've found it's what keeps me level

 

Instrumental

 

Chorus 

 

Mistakes y'all

They're the building blocks to success

No need to fear em

No need to seek bein blessed

 

You see y'all (spoken)

 

Life is very simple

When focused in the right places

When we love ourselves

Not all the frowny faces 

 

Moral a the story folks?

Don't live life like yer dead

And never fear a mistake

Cause those keep us fed
