Positivity - InstaHit Crew[00:00:00]
Some people ask me why always on the bright side[00:00:07]
When there's so much going on down the other side[00:00:09]
It's like I live in a bubble with no trouble[00:00:12]
And problems don't exist[00:00:14]
I chuckle and tell them that ain't the case at all[00:00:17]
It goes way back to the time when I was very small[00:00:19]
Not in mind but size and age my papa use to say[00:00:22]
You can always look at the negative[00:00:26]
But you should always live in the positive[00:00:29]
So I try everyday to live that way[00:00:31]
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah[00:00:36]
Some people live in what was and what they could have been[00:00:46]
As opposed to living in a what is and how much they can[00:00:48]
And be the first to complain about nothing in life going their way[00:00:50]
The attitude is "that I can't do nothing 'bout"[00:00:55]
And very happy with just breathing in and out[00:00:57]
The ones that when you say "lets go make a difference"[00:01:00]
They'll say "naw that's OK"[00:01:02]
So I don't waste time on the trip side[00:01:05]
'Cause I do know the real on the flipside[00:01:07]
And I'm crystal clear everyday that's why I say yeah[00:01:09]
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah[00:01:15]
When I see the morning[00:01:22]
And the sun is smiling down upon me[00:01:28]
I joy in the blessing[00:01:32]
That still the ground is not above me[00:01:37]
And for the people[00:01:42]
That I can truly say do love me I feel[00:01:47]
Positivity 'cause that's what life's meant to be[00:01:52]
Positivity 'cause this day did not have to be[00:01:56]
Some ask me why I'm such an optimist[00:02:12]
When it's more fashionable be a pessimist[00:02:14]
From what's in seventy-five percent of what we read hear and view[00:02:17]
Well I use to have a friend named Minnie Riperton[00:02:21]
Who use to always say when she was living[00:02:24]
"Like fine wine I like seeing the glass of[00:02:26]
Life as half full than half empty"[00:02:28]
I'm saying sometimes life can't be rough[00:02:31]
But never to the point of me saying I've had enough[00:02:33]
Long as my heart beats I ain't giving up[00:02:36]
That's why I say everyday[00:02:38]
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah[00:02:40]
When people ask me as an African American[00:02:50]
What do I see for tomorrow in the human plan [00:02:53]
Is it possible for all the people of the world to co-exist [00:02:55]
I say unity is only as big as our vision[00:03:00]
And if its narrow try to expand beyond the horizon[00:03:02]
But true leaders must guide us through the ills of society[00:03:05]
That stands in our way[00:03:07]
So if the road is to harmony be with the call[00:03:10]
But if its about discord don't take the ride at all[00:03:12]
'Cause the world vision I see is the one-we for everybody[00:03:14]
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah[00:03:18]
When I see the morning[00:03:27]
And the sun is smiling down upon me[00:03:33]
Just joy in the blessing[00:03:37]
That still the ground is not above me[00:03:43]
And for the people[00:03:46]
That you can truly say do love you do feel[00:03:52]
Positivity 'cause that's what life's meant to be[00:03:56]
Positivity and that's the energy the world needs[00:04:01]
Positivity 'cause that's what life means to me[00:04:06]
Positivity cause that's what life's meant to be[00:04:11]
Positivity[00:04:16]
