Cam Cunningham - They Call Me Optimistic

It’s really crazy the way I’m living my life now
It’s like a movie mom’s said it’s what I should write down
That’s what I do so this track is my journal
Jogging my memories of running the game into circles
I got they heads spinning
No paper chasing, and yet I’m bread winning
Knew I had drive before I was test driven
Now I wake up in the morning like George, forming my dreams
I’m goin places and these days just coordinates to me
Y’all just so foreign to me
These complacent mindsets, I don’t understand it
I speak to you and y’all act like I’m from another planet
See y’all want microwave success, but I like it organic
I’m on an island and y'all the ones taking life for granted
It’s funny, I’m either arrogant or too optimistic
But I won’t view situations like they apocalyptic
And I won’t call life out her name like I’m misogynistic
Sorry if that ruffles a couple feathers but I’m honest with it
But to be honest though, what I got to complain about
It’s boutta look like a phone number in my bank account
I might be speaking too soon cuz I haven’t done it yet
But I’m just getting started, there so much that I ain’t done with yet
So many messages left to send
Trippy feelings reflecting now compared to where I began
But to say I’m shocked by distance I’ve covered would be pretend
It’s ironic cuz I called it, but they called me crazy then
Now it’s crazy cuz they call me to tell me they always knew
But I’m laughing cuz the both of us know that none of it’s true
They were gone soon as I faded, they showing up out the blue
Now I’m scoring they make it a point to show they points of view
It’s crazy cuz they the same ones who was doubting me
Swear I got nothing but snakes surrounding me
Populous doubles hourly
It’s comical all a sudden so many people proud of me
But I won’t let anything make me sway, my family’s grounding me
No punishment, down to earth, and I succeed because of it
Nobody gave me this game, but I still chose to run with it
None of it’s really bout whether I like to shine
Just know it’s my life and now I’m having the time of mine
So time and time again imma try to find
The kinda rhymes that’s gon shake the frame
Don’t got money yet, but I’ll change the game
And make a lane of my own
Through these chord progressions show how I’ve grown
I'm feeling like Ye, don’t let me in my zone
Cuz I've known a thousand different ways
I can slap you out of this time zone
So stop thinking shit's sweet just cuz you don’t know me yet
All of my possessions is something I had to go and get
This boundary’s something you best not overstep
I’m telling you
Yeah it’s best to do what’s best for your health
I’m finally cooking when I used to be what’s left on the shelf
If you asking me who’s the best, it’s myself
My stock’s rising cuz I’m the one who’s deciding to invest in myself
And that's real
