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.
