This "hip-hop" style song reinforces motivation to mastery rather than learned helplessness. Very early in life children develop an orientation to learning that reflects their associations to the experience of effort. Children with a mastery motivation associate effort with eventual success. They choose challenging tasks, they're persistent, they try different ways to solve problems, etc. Children who develop learned helplessness associate effort with failure. They avoid challenging tasks and they quit when things get hard. You can see how important the motivation to mastery is to school success.

Lyrics
Left, left, left, wrong, left
Left, left, left, wrong, left
Sometimes it takes (Sometimes it takes)
A few mistakes (A few mistakes)
To do the things I do (To do the things I do)
To make my dreams come true (To make my dreams come true)
Sometimes it takes (Sometimes it takes)
A few mistakes (A few mistakes)
I try and try and try again (I try and try and try again)
To finally reach the end (To finally reach the end)
I make mistakes (I make mistakes)
I make mistakes (I make mistakes)
Sometimes it takes (Sometimes it takes)
A few mistakes (A few mistakes)
Sometimes I really make a mess (Sometimes I really make a mess)
To finally do my best (To finally do my best)
Sometimes it takes (Sometimes it takes)
A few mistakes (A few mistakes)
To do the things I really love (To do the things I really love)
To finally finish up (To finally finish up)
I make mistakes (I make mistakes)
I make mistakes (I make mistakes)
Sometimes it takes (Sometimes it takes)
A few mistakes (A few mistakes)
Look I made another one (Look I made another one)
That's the way I get things done (That's the way I get things done)
Sometimes it takes (Sometimes it takes)
A few mistakes (A few mistakes)
To do the things I do (To do the things I do)
To make my dreams come true (To make my dreams come true)
I make mistakes (I make mistakes)
I make mistakes (I make mistakes)
