[Intro]
Miss every shot that I never take
Miss couple hearts that I let break
Scars on my name, but I stay brave
Dash that dirt, girl born from the grave (ya)
[Verse 1]
Took loss pon loss, mi nuh count dem
Tear pon tear, wipe off, mi surmount dem
Bankrupt days, belly just a sound dem
Still mi tell mi madda, "One day, we go crown dem"
Friends turn ghost when the rent overdue
Love turn cold when the bills run through
Stand in the rain till mi shoe soak through
But pain write path, show mi what fi do
Yeah, mi drop flat, face pon the floor
Laugh when mi broke, now mi kicking down door
Every setback, mi store it like gold
Archive the ache, fi the story untold (uh)
[Chorus]
Mi tek loss fi the future happiness
Mi tek licks, now mi glowing, can't stress this
Every stumble just a setup fi the bless, yes
Mi tek loss, mi tek loss, mi progress
Mi tek loss fi the future happiness
Turn mi grief into diamond on mi chest, sis
All the hurt, all the dirt, now mi impressed
Mi tek loss, mi tek loss, mi progress (woah)
[Verse 2]
Dem say, "Gyall, why you still try so?"
'Cause big dream need big cry, yo
Heartbreak turn mi heart like pyro
Light up the dark when mi rise from below
Night bus rides, writing bar after bar
Hungry but mi aiming fi the star
No handout, just mi will and mi scar
From gutter vision to a foreign car
Trade short joy fi the long win
Trade sweet lie fi the strong chin
Mi tek L, learn pattern, then mi lock in
Now every fail is a ladder that mi walk in (yeah)
[Chorus]
Mi tek loss fi the future happiness
Mi tek licks, now mi glowing, can't stress this
Every stumble just a setup fi the bless, yes
Mi tek loss, mi tek loss, mi progress
Mi tek loss fi the future happiness
Turn mi grief into diamond on mi chest, sis
All the hurt, all the dirt, now mi impressed
Mi tek loss, mi tek loss, mi progress (hey!)
