The grass is greener on the other guy's lawn
But I'm on mine now til' it looks right
I'm lookin' at my glass and it looks half empty,
I'm still gonna chug that shit tonight
Wanna go places, tryna pack
But I'm stuck in my basement, tryna rap
Fell down once, but I'm climbing back
And I can see my dreams in a shiny plaque
Sometimes dreams play hard to get
You can't believe in those promises
When you offer the bread and condiments
Cause' you can't pay your bills with compliments
I know where I'm going, I just wanna get there
Gotta lot of shoes, and I'm runnin' in my best pair
But my mind's on the next pair
And where I'm gonna be next year

I'm so, I'm so positive
And I know that I'll be alright, now
I'm so, I'm so positive
And I know that I'll be alright, now

I don't mind, I've been going through this my whole life
And I know I can't fly, but I close my eyes and I try

I'm not thinkin' bout the words that I can't write,
I'm singing all the words in my head
I'm not thinkin' bout the girls that I can't get,
I'm thinkin' bout the girl in my bed
I'm not worried that I'm going with the crowd,
I'm too busy worryin' about going it alone
I'm not thinking bout the lineup at the club now,
I'm thinkin' bout how I'm getting home

I'm so, I'm so positive
And I know that I'll be alright, now
I'm so, I'm so positive
And I know that I'll be alright, now

I don't mind, I've been going through this my whole life
And I know I can't fly, but I close my eyes and I try
(So sick of it!)
I don't mind, I've been going through this my whole life
And I know I can't fly, but I close my eyes and I try

Cause' life ain't a movie role
And you didn't write the script
So that's no way that you could know
What you're getting out of it
And the love isn't truth enough,
The money is counterfeit
Put it all on a million
Know what? I'm likin' the sound of it, yeah

I'm not a superhero, and that's all I can say
Cause' when the times get tough, the tough don't fly away
It's almost over now, but back in the beginnin'
We had nothing to lose, it was time we started winnin'
Escape the underground, suns out, star shine
Not that we're all stars, just that our stars align
And you can do it too, and hold your own hand
Just keep on doing you, follow your own plan!

I'm so, I'm so positive
And I know that I'll be alright, now
I'm so, I'm so positive
And I know that I'll be alright, now

I don't mind, I've been going through this my whole life
And I know I can't fly, but I close my eyes and I try
(So sick of it!)
I don't mind, I've been going through this my whole life
And I know I can't fly, but I close my eyes and I try
