They say the odds are stacked up against me
but I am determined to prove them wrong.
I am out to make it in this world
doing what I have to do to overcome.
I detest the way I am living.
My debts are out of control.
Each paycheck is spent before I get it.
I am working to pay my creditors.
There has to be a way to get ahead.
I can’t continue to go on this way.
The Lord fills my mind with ideas
and he gives me hope.
Through faith in him
and diligence toward a cause
I will overcome the odds.
