Positively Negative
Hasan Johnson 1980 (Peoria Illinois)
Positively negative
I’m up and down
Sometimes optimistic when I frown
Even pessimistic when I smile
Up and down
My mood always change
Went to see the doctor and even he said it was strange
Bipolar maybe
I don’t know
My emotions are for real not for show
I’m up and down
Over here over there
My feelings are everywhere
Positively negative
There’s no other way to express
The fact that I’m happy one minute and then I’m depressed the next
Up and down
Like a see saw
Or like a cowboy on a horse screaming yeehaw!
Im blessed I know it
Got a funny way to show it
Cause I’m positively negative and now you know it
