[English]

I've seen, um, 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 on quote "rich and famous"

I say, I say quote on quote because

You know, ones man's rich to the next could be a step from poverty

It's hard explaining that to someone narrow minded

Seeing the world with two eyes shut

You know, I realized 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

It's not that I don't think 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 it could be worst, ya 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

Those things are replaceable, you know?

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

Kinda like, well

It could be worse, oh well

Easier said than done, I'm sure

But failure, aw man, failure, that took time to understand

You know? Like failure doesn't mean defeat

But 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

But more so

More so, like

Just a way to re-look at things

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