Lyrics

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 violence, evil and honor women
I hear all the 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
