The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I am a dream just beginning
Truth is I prayed then you 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'm a break through the door 'til I get in
Everything that I got I'm a 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
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 one hundred percent
So go on put your ones up
If you're putting in a 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, 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 no longer defined
To a life that's defined by limits
I don't need no permission to live it
I'm a break through the door 'til I get in
Everything that I got I'm a give it
One hundred percent
And I ain't stopping 'til I reach the finish, oh
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
And I ain't gonna let nothing discourage or dissuade me
(Nothing can discourage me, oh)
Cause I'm walking out of here a champion either way babe (hey)
I am giving one hundred percent (hey)
So go on put your ones up
(Hey) if you're putting in a hundred put your ones up, ones up (put your ones up)
If you know that this is something, put your ones up, ones up (everybody)
(Hey) if you really comprehend this put your ones up, your ones up (put your ones up)
If you're walking into victory keep on shining (one hundred)
One hundred percent
Stop
Don't you ever
Stop
Be discouraged
Stop
Let nobody take your courage
Stop
If you gonna pray don't worry
Stop
If ya gonna worry don't pray
Stop
You just keep the faith and listen to me
If you're putting in a hundred put your ones up, ones up (put your ones up)
If you know that this is something, put your ones up, ones up (hey, if you know your worth)
If you really comprehend this put your ones up, your ones up (if you ever were hurt for something)
If you're walking into victory keep on shining (yeah)
One hundred percent
Oh I, 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
And I ain't gonna let nothing discourage or dissuade me (nothing, I'm a champion)
Cause I'm walking out of here a champion either way babe
I gotta give one hundred percent
So go on put your ones up
If you're putting in a 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, your ones up
If you're walking into victory keep on shining
One hundred percent
Rise up, oh, rise up
Rise up, oh, rise up
You gotta rise up
