Hope

Would you still believe if
The walls tumbled down?
If nights start getting cold
Would you stay around?
When life starts getting hard could
You fly above the fire?
Or would you rather take an easy road
To get to where we are?

Hope, a four letter word, seldom heard
Yes plenty we can use but
This ones sorta preferred
And everybody want it but for
Many it won't occur
'Cause they hoping they can see it
But most of they vision blurred
People hopin happy hour will get
'em talking in slurrs
'Cause tonight is Friday night and on
Monday is back to work
Baby sister got a job and
She hoping to lose hers
'Cause she deal with losers who
Hopin to use her
Drop her back off at the club
Treat her like whose her
She just workin and then she hopin
To pay for her school search
I guess hopin in the dope
But they hopeless abusers
Hope is what you do when you
Can't see into the future
See my hope is not a verb
My hope is found in a noun
Mommas think that cap and gowns is
The greatest hope to be found
Daddy's hope is in his zero
That's preceded by some commas
My cousins is marijuana
He hope to escape the drama-need hOPE

Would you still believe if
The walls tumbled down?
If nights start getting cold
Would you stay around?
When life starts getting hard
Could you fly above the fire?
Or would you rather take an easy road
To get to where we are?

I need it, I gotta have it
I gotta get it for real
I see people flat out starving just
Hopin' to get a meal
People prostitute they music they
Hopin' for record deals
I'm hopin in what I know and
They hopin in what they feel
But they feeling is never real it's belief
Nothing more than opinion
Maybe something you think
Quicker than you could blink
Hopin no hope at all
Soon as you get to flying you
Hopin that you don't fall
Your hope don't last forever
Now you done hit a wall
But maybe something more but you
Hopin no hope at all
And now you are confused
Cause you been paying dues
That cross more than you got
Because that's in you got to lose
And you ain't gotta clue that
You ain't got hope you got a boat full of
Wishin' that won't float
And even when it does
It's only for a second I'm reckon
That's prolly why you listenin
To this message, because you need hope

Would you still believe if
The walls tumble down?
If nights start getting cold
Would you stay around?
When life starts getting
(hard or hot) could you fly above the fire?
Or would you rather take an easy road
To get to where we are?
