That's a line in a popular hip-hop sing, but still an appropriate and Biblical way to approach life and our day-to-day life.

How often do we pray for something one time and when we don't get the answer we want, we stop asking? Or how eager are we to stop trying something the Lord has asked us to do if it doesn't work the first time? Or what if a door is closed, but the Lord sakes us to knock one more time, do you trust Him enough to knock again?

In Luke 5 we see Peter is so ready to obey the Lord. Look at this:
v4 "And when he had left speaking, he said to Simon, Put out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draughts. v5 And Simon answered and said, Master, we toiled all night, and too nothing: but at thy word I will let down the nets."

Despite Peter's previous experience of failure, he was ready to do exactly what the Lord asked of him even if it meant doing the same thing again. I'm sure people around thought Peter looked ridiculous when they saw him going back out to fish. They knew he was fishing all night and knew he wouldn't catch anymore just by fishing for a while longer.

Are you ready and willing to do what the Lord asks you to do, even if it's caused pain and failure in the past? Or if it makes you seem foolish in the eyes of others?

Dust yourself off and try again, because the Lord asked you to.
