Cameron London - The Optimist Lyrics

Feel like I started from the bottom
And I'm still there
All that's running through my mind
Is that's unfair
How I put everybody first
Due to skewed perspective
All my methods seemed to be a little ineffective these days
But I give it my all
If I'm aiming for top then I'm likely to fall
Everything that goes up gotta come back down
It sounds like I'm giving up but I'm resting the crown
Because my faith might waver
But it's not gon break
My friends like my music
So I don't know shake
I might bend to the pressure
But I'm not gone break
Probably a Saiyan cause I'm growing at a frightening rate
Life will hit the hardest when you down
Life will hit when no one is around
Life will tell you that you shouldn't be proud
Life will test you, don't let it keep you down
Life will hit the hardest when you down
Life will hit when no one is around
Life will tell you that you shouldn't be proud
Life will test you, don't let it keep you down
Coulda ended all of this by just squeezing my hand
But God's plan was much bigger than the stresses of man
Now I stand as a beacon at the edge of the land
I try to save as many lives as I possibly can
But now I take into consideration
All that people that look up to me
I see the admiration
From the youngest to the oldest
Every single generation
I'll be spreading positivity
Don't need the compensation
But when it comes I know the plan won't change
It's bell-Jones, but imma London so I stand on the name
I carry the pain to break the cyclical curses
My optimism is way past worth it
My optimism been a sword and a shield
My optimism is a power many hate that I wield
My greatest traits come from my greatest defeats
And believing in myself got me feeling complete
Life will hit the hardest when you down
Life will hit when no one is around
Life will tell you that you shouldn't be proud
Life will test you, don't let it keep you down
Life will hit the hardest when you down
Life will hit when no one is around
Life will tell you that you shouldn't be proud
Life will test you, don't let it keep you down
Life will hit the hardest when you down
Life will hit when no one is around
Life will tell you that you shouldn't be proud
Life will test you, don't let it keep you down
Life will hit the hardest when you down
Life will hit when no one is around
Life will tell you that you shouldn't be proud
Life will test you, don't let it keep you down

Feel like I started from the bottom
And I'm still there
All that's running through my mind
Is that's unfair
How I put everybody first
Due to skewed perspective
All my methods seemed to be a little ineffective these days
But I give it my all
If I'm aiming for top then I'm likely to fall
Everything that goes up gotta come back down

Probably a Saiyan cause I'm growing at a frightening rate
Life will hit the hardest when you down
Life will hit when no one is around
Life will tell you that you shouldn't be proud
Life will test you, don't let it keep you down
Life will hit the hardest when you down
Life will hit when no one is around
Life will tell you that you shouldn't be proud
Life will test you, don't let it keep you down
