Lyrics
(Words & Music by: Anthony J. Maldonado)
How ya gonna win with such low expectations?
How ya gonna make it through the day?
Whatcha gonna do when you run out of patience
Or when you run out of things to say?
Hopeless seems the world when you can't find any answers
To the questions on everybody's mind.
Maybe turn your head to Trix and mood enhancers
When everything becomes dreary and dry.
How ya gonna win despite of all your setbacks?
How ya gonna find.. the right frame of mind
To break out and truly shine?!?
Where ya gonna go with such low expectations?
Where ya gonna rest your head tonight?
You can't eat breakfast here unless you've made reservations,
We won't be sympathetic to your plight.
You'd better pull some strength out of the thin air
'Cause no one's giving it away.
If you last another round, you might just be a winner
Just don't expect too many accolades.
How ya gonna win despite of all your setbacks?
How ya gonna find that needle in the haystack?
How ya gonna find... the right frame of mind
To break out and truly shine?!?
Where ya gonna go with such low expectations?
'Bout half as far as you think you might.
How ya gonna win with such low expectations?
How ya gonna make it through the night?
That's up to you.
