Nobody taught me how to lose, just how to win So every time I lost, I thought that God

Was done with him Teach me how to lose and still get up again

Cause winning ain't the lesson, the lesson's in the win

First business failed at 23, I cried in the car

Told myself you're not enough, wore that like a scar

Damn, second try at 25, same result, different name

Started thinking maybe I was born without the flame

Nobody told me rhyme, me from the east, I could lose twice

And still build it back, with his boys watching every night

They just show the highlight reel and say go get it king

But they never show the part where kings lose everything

On God, I lost money, lost my pride, lost people I called friends

Lost a version of myself that thought he never been

But here's the part they skipped, the loss became the lens

Through which I finally saw what God was trying to send

Nobody taught me how to lose, just how to win So every time I lost, I thought that God

Was done with him Teach me how to lose and still get up again

Cause winning ain't the lesson, the lesson's in the win

Now I lose different, I lose with my chest out

I lose knowing that the loss is just a test route

I lose knowing that my sons are taking notes

On how their daddy handles what will break most folks

You want a motivational speech, I ain't got one

Now I got scars and I got faith and I got stubbornness

I got nights where I questioned if the purpose was a bluff

And mornings where I woke up and decided not enough

On God, not enough failure's gonna stop what God intended

Not enough rejection's gonna rewrite what he scripted

I'm not positive cause life is good, life been wicked

I'm positive cause every loss just made the vision vivid

My sons who fell, and that's okay I'll be there to say what no one said to me

Losing doesn't mean you lost, it means you play

And playing means you're winning, most just run away

Nobody taught me how to lose, just how to win

Every time I lost, I thought that God was done with him

But he wasn't done, he was just beginning

Teach me how to lose, cause that's where life begins
