Gary Adante - Positivity lyrics

[Verse 1] Some people ask me why always on the bright side When there's so much going on down the other side It's like i live in a bubble with no trouble And problems don't exist I chuckle and tell them that ain't the case at all It goes way back to the time when i was very small Not in mind but size and age my papa use to say You can always look at the negative But you should always live in the positive So i try everyday to live that way [Chorus 1] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah [Verse 2] Some people live in what was and what they could have been As opposed to living in a what is and how much they can And be the first to complain about nothing in life going their way The attitude is "that i can't do nothing 'bout" And very happy with just breathing in and out The ones that when you say "lets go make a difference" They'll say "naw that's ok" So i don't waste time on the trip side Because i do know the real on the flip-side And i'm crystal clear everyday that's why i say, yeah [Chorus 1] [Chorus 2] When i see the morning And the sun is smiling down upon me I joy in the blessing That still the ground is not above me And for the people That i can truly say do love me, i feel Positivity, because that's what life's meant to be Positivity, because this day did not have to be [Verse 3] Some ask me why i'm such an optimist When it's more fashionable be a pessimist From what's in seventy-five percent of what we read, hear and view Well i use to have a friend named minnie riperton Who use to always say when she was living "Like fine wine i like seeing the gla** of life as half full than half empty" I'm not saying sometimes life can't be rough But never to the point of me saying i've had enough Long as my heart beats i ain't giving up That's why i say everyday [Chorus 1] [Verse 4] When people ask me as an african american What do i see for tomorrow in the human plan? Is it possible for all the people of the world to co-exist? I say unity is only as big as our vision And if its narrow, try to expand beyond the horizon But true leaders must guide us through the ills of society That stands in our way So if the road is to harmony, be with the call But if its about discord, don't take the ride at all Because the world vision i see is the one-we for everybody [Chorus 1] [Chorus 2] [Outro] Positivity, because that's what life means to me Positivity, because this day did not have to be Positivity, because that's what life's meant to be Positivity, because that's the energy the world needs [x2]
