I've always been optimistic

Every day I tell myself I'm gonna be fine

And fine I am, look at how fine I am

I look at the brighter side

I still love you even though we don't see eye to eye

Looking at the time like, my oh my

Treating every single day like it's the final try

I'm optimistic, long as I got me a pot to piss in

Lobster chicken, over plates of pasta

We politicking, it ain't no G-code

We lost the honor system

Protect the children from violencе, evil and honor women

I hear all thе disses and drama fiction that y'all have written

I'm the opposite cause I mind my business

It's not as thrilling

I'm a survivor, I'm not a victim

And now that I see God in my image

It ain't a competition

Knew I had the blessings around me, I never counted it

I can make something from nothing like I'm the alchemist

Knew my time was coming and that's the law of the averages

That period of time in my life should have an asterisk

Should've been at home, I was always out of town with it

Be intentional with the people that you surrounded with

Knew that it would happen this way, I became a strategist

My actions speak louder than promises and I'm proud of it

Even in the darkest times, I look at the brighter side

I still love you even though we don't see eye to eye

Looking at the time like, my oh my

Treating every single day like it's the final try

Even in the darkest times, I look at the brighter side

I still love you even though we don't see eye to eye

Looking at the time like, my oh my

Treating every single day like it's the final try

Read a book, keep it a book, we in the cut

Made commissions, I was keeping the cut from each look

The worries when I lay down to sleep, keeping me up

Gravitational pull, but still I needed a push

Practice makes perfect, but perfect isn't attainable

So I'm able to do what my training enables me to

Empathy is when suffering is relatable

People can be saved and food is biodegradable

I make honest assessments but I never judge, yes yes

I went to Fort DeSoto and I fell in love, yes yes

I forgave but I held a grudge, yes yes

Every day I prayed but it didn't flood

Even in the darkest times, I look at the brighter side

I still love you even though we don't see eye to eye

Looking at the time like, my oh my

Treating every single day like it's the final try

Even in the darkest times, I look at the brighter side

I still love you even though we don't see eye to eye

Looking at the time like, my oh my

Treating every single day like it's the final try

Your pain is not unique, it's not special, it's not exclusive

It is not proof that the world is harder for you

Than it is for everyone else

It's just pain, and pain is part of being human

Yes, your story matters

Yes, what you've been through shaped you

But be careful not to build your identity around your wounds

Because the moment that you start believing your pain makes you different

You'll start protecting that pain instead of healing from it
