Hope (Explicit)

Hope - The Hit Crew

I wish the way I was living could stop serving rocks

Knowing the cops is hot when I'm on the block and I

Wish my brother woulda made bail

So I won't have to travel 6 hours

To see him in jail and I

Wish that my grandmother wasn't sick

Or that we would just come up on

Some stacks and hit a lick and I

Wish my homies wouldn't have to suffer

When the streets get the upper hand on us

And we lose a brother and I

Wish I could go deep in a zone

And lift the spirits of the world with

The words with in this song and I

Wish I could teach a soul to fly

Take away the pain out cha hands

And help you hold them high and I

Wish my hommie Butch was still alive

And on the day of his death we had

Never took that ride and I

Wish God could protect us from the wrong

So that all the soldiers that were

Sent over seas come home

We will never break though they devastate

We shall motivate

And we gotta pray all we got is faith

Instead of thinking about who gonna die to day

The Lord is gonna help you feel better

So you ain't gotta cry today

Sit at the light so long

And then we gotta move straight forward

'Cuz we fight so strong

So when right go wrong

Just say a little prayer get you money man

Life go on let's hope

Though I'm hopeful yes I am hopeful for today

Take this music and use it let it take you away

And be hopeful hopeful and He'll make a way

I know it ain't easy but that's okay 'cause we hopeful

I wish that you could show some love

Instead of hatin' so much when you see

Some other people comin' up

I wish I could teach the world to sing

Watch the music and have 'em

Trippin' of the joy I bring

I wish that we could hold hands

Listen instead of dissin' lessons from a grown man and I

Wish the families that lack but got love get some stacks

Brand new shack and a lack that's on dubs and I

Wish we could keep achieving wonders

See the vision of the world through

The eyes of Stevie Wonder you feel me

And I hope all the kids eat

And don't nobody in my family see six feet you dig

I hope them mothers stand strong

You can make it whether you wit' him or

Your man's gone and I

Wish I could give every celly some commissary

And the po po bring the heat on them

Priest like they did R Kelly and I

Wish that DOC could scream again

And bullets could reverse so Pac and

Biggie breath again

Then one day they could speak again

I wish that we only saw good news

Every time we look at CNN

I wish that we could never get the blues

Wish I could bring back the people that died at E2

I wish that we could walk a path stay doin' the right thing

Hustle hard so the kids maintain up in the game

Though I'm hopeful yes I am hopeful for today

Take this music and use it let it take you away

And be hopeful hopeful and He'll make a way

I know it ain't easy but that's okay 'cause we hopeful

Wish the earth wasn't so apocalyptic

I try to spread my message to the world

The best way I can give it

We can make it always so optimistic

If you don't listen gotta live my life

The best way I can live it

I pray for justice when we go to court

Wish it was all good so the country

Never even went to war

Why can't we kick it and just get them on

And in the famous words of Mr King

"Why can't we all just get along"

Or we can find a better way to shop and please and I

Hope we find a better way to cop a keys and I

Wish everybody would just stop and freeze

And ask way are we fulfillin' these downfalls and prophecies

You can be wrong if it's you doubting

With the faith of a mustard seed you can move mountains

And only the heavenly father and ease the hurt

Just let it go and keep prayin' on

Your knees in church and let's hope

Though I'm hopeful yes I am hopeful for today

Take this music and use it let it take you away

And be hopeful hopeful and He'll make a way

I know it ain't easy but that's okay

Though I'm hopeful yes I am hopeful for today

Take this music and use it let it take you away

And be hopeful hopeful and He'll make a way

I know it ain't easy but that's okay 'cause we hopeful
