lyrics

OPTIMISTIC

THIS IS A SHOT OUT TO THAT LIFE THAT DIDN’T PAN OUT
THAT’S SITTING ON THE CORNER WITH A CORONA
AND THEIR HAND OUT
THEY THROWING DOLLARS AND CENTS
AND THE FOOD JUST KEEPS ON COMIN
BUT YOU ARE HUNGRY FOR SOMETHING THAT IS DEEPER THAN YOUR STOMACH
SEE, LIFE HAPPENED TO GRAB YOU
AND IT HAPPENED TO GET THE BEST OF YOU
THE WORLD JUST CALLS YOU LAZY
BUT MY SPIRIT SEES THE BEST IN YOU
YOU HAD DREAMS
YOU HAD SCHEMES
AND A BUNDLE FULL OF WISHES
BUT YOU GOT KNOCKED DOWN AND NOW YOU’RE SLEEPING UNDER LOSTS OF BRIDGES

Chorus:
AND THEY DON’T KNOW YOUR WEARS
AND THEY DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU’VE BEEN THROUGH
AND THEY DON’T KNOW THAT YOU’RE SCARED
THEY DON’T THINK THAT YOU PRAY
AND THEY THINK THAT ITS TOO LATE
CAUSE THEY DON’T BELIEVE IN CHANGE
BUT I KNOW ITS NEVER TOO LATE
I GUESS THAT IM JUST OPTIMISITIC

I GUESS, I GUESS, I GUESS, I GUESS THAT YOU CAN SAY IM JUST OPTIMISTIC
I GUESS, I GUESS, I GUESS, I GUESS THAT YOU CAN SAY IM JUST OPTIMISTIC
SEE, THEY DON’T BELIEVE IN CHANGE, THEY JUST BELIEVE IN MONEY
BUT I BELIEVE IN GOD, I BELIEVE IN HOPE
I BELIEVE IN YOU

VERSE 2:
THIS IS A SHOTOUT TO THOSE PARENTS THAT ARE SINGLE
THAT WORK THEIR FINGERS TO THE BONE AND DON’T GET A CHANGE TO MINGLE
THEY WORK, THEY WORK, AND THEN THEY GET TO SLEEP
TO PUT NOODLES IN YOUR CUPBOARDS AND PUT SHOES UPON YOUR FEET
YOU MAKE A LITTLE TO DO A LOT
AND YOU DON’T EVEN GET YOUR PROPS
THROW NUMBERS IN YOUR FACE AND THEN PLACE YOU INSIDE THIS BOX
HOW DARE THEY TELL YOU HOW TO DEAL YOUR CARDS
YOU GET PAID LESS, YES, BUT YOU WORK TWICE AS HARD
YOU WERENT BORN WITH A SILVER SPOON
OR A LIFE OF OPPORTUNE
BUT YOU DON’T COMPLATE, YOU DO NOT BLAME, OR SING A SAD TUNE
YOU LIVE LIFE TO ITS FULLEST
AND THOUGH THEY CALL YOU FOOLISH
YOU KEEP TRYING AND YA TRYING BECAUE YOU KNOW THAT YOULL GET THROUGH THIS
BUT ITLL GET BETTER AND BETTER
WHETHER THEY AGREE OR NOT
BECAUSE IN THE END OF TIME
SERVANTS, THEY GET PAID A LOT
SO WHILE THEY TRY TO-
CLASSIFY YOU-
DEMEAN AND DEFY YOU
I KNOW WHY YOU-
THINK YOU CAN’T
BUT LET HOPE SUPPLY YOU

CHORUS

SPEAKING:
IT DOESN’T MATTER IF YOU’RE 15, 25, OR 50 YEARS OLD
NO MATTER WHAT YOU’VE BEEN THROUGH
NO MATTER WHAT YOU’VE SEEN
ITS NEVER TOO LATE FOR GOD TO COME IN AND MAKE IT BEAUTIFUL
ALL THINGS POSSIBLE

CHORUS
