[Verse 1]
I am a dream, just beginning
Truth is I prayed and you opened 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
100 percent and I ain't stopping 'til I reach the finish

[Pre-Chorus]
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 givin it one hundred percent, so go on put your ones up

[Chorus]
If you're putting in a hundred put your ones up, ones up
If you know you can do something, put your ones up, ones up
If you really comprehend this, put your ones up, ones up
If you're walking into victory keep on shining
One hundred percent

[Verse 2]
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're no longer defined
To a life that's defined by limits
I don't need no permission to live it
I was a break thru the door till I get in
Everything that I got Ima give it
100 percent and I won't stop till I reach the finish

[Pre-Chorus]
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 givin it one hundred percent, so go on put your ones up

[Chorus]
If you're putting in a hundred put your ones up, ones up
If you know you can do something, put your ones up, ones up
If you really comprehend this, put your ones up, ones up
If you're walking into victory keep on shining
One hundred percent

[Bridge]
Don't you ever (stop)
Be discouraged (stop)
Let nobody take your courage (stop)
If you gonna pray don't worry (stop)
If you gonna worry don't pray (stop)
You just keep the faith and listen to me

[Chorus]
If you're putting in a hundred put your ones up, ones up
If you know you can do something, put your ones up, ones up
If you really comprehend this, put your ones up, ones up
If you're walking into victory keep on shining
One hundred percent

[Pre-Chorus]
(Rise up) I'm a believer, not just a dreamer
(Oh, rise up) I'm giving everything I got
(Oh, rise up) 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 gotta give one hundred percent, so go on put your ones up

[Chorus]
If you're putting in a hundred put your ones up, ones up
If you know you can do something, put your ones up, ones up
If you really comprehend this, put your ones up, ones up
If you're walking into victory keep on shining
One hundred percent (Rise up, oh rise, rise up, oh rise up, you gotta rise up)

Mariah Carey (born March 27, 1970) is an American singer, songwriter, record producer, actress, and philanthropist.

Under the guidance of Columbia Records executive Tommy Mottola, Carey released her self-titled debut studio album Mariah Carey in 1990; it went multi-platinum and spawned four consecutive number one singles on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Following her marriage to Mottola in 1993 and success with hit records “Emotions” (1991), “Music Box” (1993), and “Merry Christmas” (1994), Carey was established as Columbia’s highest-selling act. Daydream (1995) made music history when its second single “One Sweet Day”, a duet with Boyz II Men, spent a record sixteen weeks on top of the Billboard Hot 100, and remains the longest-running number-one song in U.S. chart history, along with Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee’s “Despacito.” During the recording of the album, Carey began to deviate from her R&B and pop beginnings and slowly traversed into hip hop. This musical change became evident with the release of Butterfly (1997), at which time Carey had separated from Mottola.
