I am a dream, just beginning
Truth is I prayed when you'd open my eyes
And you revealed something to me
Suddenly I am no longer confined
To a life that's defined by limits
I don't need no permission to live it
I'ma break through the door 'til I get in
Everything that I got I'ma give it
One hundred percent
And I ain't stopping till I reach the finish
I'm a believer, not just a dreamer
I'm giving everything I got
I'm a go getter, one hundred percent-er
Undoubtedly I can reach the top
And I ain't gonna let nothing discourage or dissuade me
Cause I'm walking out of here a champion either way, babe
I am giving it one hundred percent
So go on and put your ones up
If you're putting in a hundred, put your ones up
If you know you can do something, put your ones up
If you really comprehend this, put your ones up
If you're walking into victory, keep on shining
One hundred percent
You can only do it if you do it like I did
Cause suffering ain't easy
But if you can turn your wounds into living proof
That you've survived the fight and you're no longer defined
To a life that's defined by limits
I don't need no permission to live it
I'ma break through the door 'til I get in
Everything that I got I'ma give it
One hundred percent
And I ain't stopping till I reach the finish
I'm a believer, not just a dreamer
I'm giving everything I got
I'm a go getter, one hundred percent-er
Undoubtedly I can reach the top
And I ain't gonna let nothing discourage or dissuade me
Cause I'm walking out of here a champion either way, babe
I am giving it one hundred percent
So go on and put your ones up
If you're putting in a hundred, put your ones up
If you know you can do something, put your ones up
If you really comprehend this, put your ones up
If you're walking into victory, keep on shining
One hundred percent
Don't you ever be discouraged
Let nobody take your courage
If you gon' pray, don't worry
If you gon' worry, don't pray
You just keep the faith and listen to me
If you're putting in a hundred, put your ones up
If you know you can do something, put your ones up
If you really comprehend this, put your ones up
If you're walking into victory, keep on shining
One hundred percent
I'm a believer, not just a dreamer
I'm giving everything I got
I'm a go getter, one hundred percent-er
Undoubtedly I can reach the top
And I ain't gonna let nothing discourage or dissuade me
Cause I'm walking out of here a champion either way, babe
I gotta give one hundred percent
So go on and put your ones up
If you're putting in a hundred, put your ones up
If you know you can do something, put your ones up
If you really comprehend this, put your ones up
If you're walking into victory, keep on shining
One hundred percent
