Optimism
It’s times like this when it’s hard to be positive
Being Depressed, feeling alone, not being home, it’s all relative
To the fact that I’m sad I’m not living how I want to live
I try to make all my raps optimistic
But right now it’s hard, I’m feeling heart-sick
People say what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger
Sometimes I feel like what doesn’t kill you makes you depressed longer
Must be my messed up thinking
When I’m sad like this I feel like I’ll never stop sinking
But i’m not about to be not meaning what I write
It’s been an extremely rough ride
But i’m not about to start giving up tonight
I just got to stay strong, and never give up the fight
I plan on inspiring millions of souls despite
The challenges, never lose sight of what’s right
Most of these rich rappers don’t see anything past partying and getting high as a kite
But I’m trying to do more than that, and be giving insite
And knowledge, to all of my fans
Feelings mushed together like beans in a can
But you’ll never see me give up, not in my life-span!
