Parisalexa 2 Optimistic Lyrics

f*ck expectations
Yeah they gon' be the death of me
For real their just a recipe
For disaster
Like I be celebrating
Situations I should
Wait until after
When the check clears
When the fat lady sings
Cause
Nothings for sure
Not anymore
People's word ain't worth a thing

I been through the dirt
I been putting in work
Like day in
Day out
Don't get what I deserve
Try not to let it hurt me
But I know it ain't working
So I gotta fix it
I know Ii was built different
And if I'm soft then I'll stiffen
Cause life told me that I might be
Too optimistic

Don't want to get my hopes up
And then I'm shit out of luck
I'm just too optimistic
I'm a little jaded
Can't even get excited and I hate it
Too optimistic
Don't want to get my hopes up
And then I'm shit out of luck
I'm just too optimistic
I'm a little jaded
Can't even get excited and I hate it

Ooh integrity
I swear that's the first to go
Try not to take it personal
It's hard
When I was taught that your Word is your bond
And that's all we can rely on
But I'm smart
Too smart to fall into that
Self doubt
Doubling back
I don't need to change how I operate
I just need to learn to play the game

And it's twisted
But I know I was built different
And if I'm soft then I'll stiffen
Cause life told me
That I might be
Too optimistic

Don't want to get my hopes up
And then I'm shit out of luck
I'm just too optimistic
I'm a little jaded
Can't even get excited and I hate it
Too optimistic
Don't want to get my hopes up
And then I'm shit out of luck
I'm just too optimistic
I'm a little jaded
Can't even get excited and I hate it

I been through the dirt
I been putting in work
Like day in
Day out
Don't get what I deserve
I been through the dirt
I been putting in work
Like day in
Day out
Don't get what I deserve
I been through the dirt
I been putting in work
Like day in
Day out
Don't get what I deserve
