[Lyrics]
[Intro (minimal, bounce starts)]
Yeah…
They said I sounded better sad…
That’s funny.
[Verse 1]
Everybody saying you sounded better sad,
Don’t take offense, don’t get mad.
I switched lanes, went positive,
Now I’m positive I’m here till I’m done with it.
I’m here till I say I’m done, not before,
Keep guessing, keep asking what I’m doing this for.
I ain’t explaining every move I make…
I just move, I don’t hesitate.
[Pre-Chorus (melodic bounce)]
They want the old me back again…
I left that version in the end.
[Chorus (catchy, simple)]
I’m positive, yeah I’m good,
Even when they misunderstood.
I don’t go back, I move ahead…
Leave the past where it is.
I’m positive, yeah I’m here,
Even with the stress and fear.
If it knocks, I don’t let it in…
I don’t live like that again.
[Verse 2 (your real-life bars refined)]
Stress here but just monetary,
Owe a lot of money, oh how dare me.
Scared to have that conversation,
But it’s weighing heavy on me daily.
Trying to be a role model, stand tall,
Getting stepped on like it’s nothing at all.
Funny how you try to do it right…
Still get hit from every side.
[Pre-Chorus]
They don’t see what’s underneath…
They just see what they believe.
[Chorus]
I’m positive, yeah I’m good,
Even when they misunderstood.
I don’t go back, I move ahead…
Leave the past where it is.
I’m positive, yeah I’m here,
Even with the stress and fear.
If it knocks, I don’t let it in…
I don’t live like that again.
[Verse 3 (Fear section)]
Fear late night knocking at my door,
Sound different than he did before.
“Bring me back ELI, you can drive…”
I slam it shut — tell him I feel alive.
Desperation in his voice when he banging,
Keep talking but we ain’t hanging.
Fear not allowed in this house no more…
I don’t open that door.
[Bridge (slight drop, reflective)]
I wanna be rich but I’m stuck in a loop,
Paycheck to paycheck, telling the truth.
Working hard but nothing saved…
All my fault? Am I to blame?
[Final Chorus (bigger, layered)]
I’m positive, yeah I’m still here,
Even with the weight and fear.
I don’t fold, I don’t pretend…
I just build again.
I’m positive, yeah I’m alive,
Even when it’s hard to survive.
If it knocks, I don’t let it in…
I don’t live like that again.
[Outro (simple, confident)]
Yeah…
You can keep the sad version.
I’m good.
