The Get Back

Synopsis: Sometimes, we allow temporary defeat to derail us from reaching our goals. Failure is part of the process.
A.D.I.D.A.S.; All Day I Dream About Success
Paying no attention to those who say I must rest
While attacking every obstacle with the spirit of a beast
When I die, they couldn't say I didn't try, at least
Sometimes, it's two steps forward and one step back
Which can make it easy for one to get sidetracked
Now let's take another two steps forward, then one in reverse
Do the math and see where we're at after this verse
We can do anything in which we decide to pursue
Regardless of failure; it's all in how the plans are drew
So, next time you encounter a speed bump in the road
That's your cue to ante up and go into beast mode
One thing about failure; there's an important lesson to be learned
In turn, you really didn't lose, as far as I'm concerned
A final digestive thought before this court is adjourned
Steer clear of the haters, for they're no bueno like a germ
