Mariah Carey – One Hundred Percent lyrics

Mariah Carey – One Hundred Percent lyrics

I am a dream
Just beginning
Truth is, I prayed
And you opened 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
Imma break through the door 'til I get in
Everything that I got I'm gonna give it

One hundred percent
And I ain't stopping
'Til 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 percenter
Undoubtedly I can reach the top

I ain't gonna let nothing
Discourage or dissuade me
'Cause I'm walking out of here
A champion either way, babe
I'm giving it one hundred percent
So go on put your ones up

If you're puttin' in one hundred
Put your ones up (ones up)
If you know that this is something
Put your ones up (ones up)
If you really comprehend this
Put your ones up (ones up)
If you're walking into victory
Keep on shining (One hundred)
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 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
Imma break through the door 'til I get in
Everything that I got I'm gonna give it

One hundred percent
And I ain't stopping
'Til 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 percenter
Undoubtedly I can reach the top

I ain't gonna let nothing
Discourage or dissuade me
'Cause I'm walking out of here
A champion either way, babe
I'm giving it one hundred percent
So go on put your ones up

If you're puttin' in one hundred
Put your ones up (ones up)
If you know that this is something
Put your ones up (ones up)
If you really comprehend this
Put your ones up (ones up)
If you're walking into victory
Keep on shining (One hundred)
One hundred percent

Don't you ever be discouraged
Let nobody take your courage
If you gonna pray, don't worry
If ya gonna wait, don't pray
You just keep the faith
And listen to me

If you're puttin' in one hundred
Put your ones up (ones up)
If you know that this is something
Put your ones up (ones up)
If you really comprehend this
Put your ones up (ones up)
If you're walking into victory
Keep on shining (One hundred)
One hundred percent

I'm a believer
Not just a dreamer
I'm giving everything I got
I'm a go-getter
One hundred percenter
Undoubtedly I can reach the top

I ain't gonna let nothing
Discourage or dissuade me
'Cause I'm walking out of here
A champion either way, babe
I'm giving it one hundred percent
So go on put your ones up

If you're puttin' in one hundred
Put your ones up (ones up)
If you know that this is something
Put your ones up (ones up)
If you really comprehend this
Put your ones up (ones up)
If you're walking into victory
Keep on shining (One hundred)
One hundred percent

This is definately her best of her recent songs. (You could call it the new 'Hero'.) It's really inspiring, and she sounds great. (Although I disagree that she gave '100%' into this song. [I would say about 90%]) And I can't help but wanting to listen to it over and over again.
The song tells you to put all that you've got into everything you do. Also, it tells you that if you fight to get what you want, and everybody sees that you survived, it will be worth it.
Again, very inspiring. Her voice sounds lovely in this song. Thank you, Mariah, for singing this.
