Ninety nine times out of one hundred

I've been declined I've been out numbered

Day after day (day after day) month after month (month after month)

Year after year (year after year) fear after fear (fear after fear)

I told myself (I told myself) I would stay on my grind (I would stay on my grind)

I'm optimistic I'm going make it

I'm optimistic I'm going take it

I'm optimistic Trouble don't last always

I'm optimistic I'm placing bets on faith

I live my destiny (I live my destiny ) ima be what I wanna be (ima be what I wanna be)

They don't understand (they don't understand) they criticize plans (they criticize plans)

They crucify my name they swerve in my lane

I'm optimistic I'm going make it

I'm optimistic I'm going take it

I'm optimistic Trouble don't last always

I'm optimistic I'm placing bets on faith

I'm optimistic

I'm optimistic (they crucify my name they swerve in my lane)
