Hope (Nirvana) Lyrics

Look

Made in the image of people surrounding me

I know that they're proud of me

And all of my brothers had started as friends

But we're more like a family

Gave all of my body and soul to the game

So now they can chart our anatomy

Cause I know the struggles that come with the pain

From people that constantly doubted me

Hey, so why you running away-ay

I can tell you wanna stay-ay

I know that you wanna be somebody

Don't know why you're afrai-aid

I remember I was low-ay

Hoped my problems would go away

I know that you wanna be somebody

All you need is some hope

Ay ay yay yay

I know that you wanna be somebody to a couple bodies

But that ain't always how it go

Meaning that people can come in your life for a reason

But most of them don't

Want to make all of my brown people proud of me

Word to my family

Word to the homie that lived down the street from me when I was a kid

Cause his parents would laugh at the color of my skin

Cause they said I was different

Man, they be tripping

This is my life I would die for my vision

I don't wanna fuck with nobody

If I don't know shawty, then she don't know none of my business

Putting that shit in the past

Placing the weight of the world on my shoulder

Come in and go like the Michelin man cause tired of running

I'm built like a soldier

I'm still in my bag like I'm Doja

This is me, this is me

Never been one to be hiding my moments

All of us kids who undoubtedly grew up in families that ain't discover our motive

Bitch, I'm the one

Born in the shadow, but grew in the sun

I feel like being somebody to somebody's way more important than being in love

Hey, so why you running away-ay

I can tell you wanna stay-ay

I know that you wanna be somebody

Don't know why you're afrai-aid

I remember I was low-ay

Hoped my problems would go away

I know that you wanna be somebody

All you need is some hope

Ay ay yay yay

I know that if you wanna grow

You've gotta hop back on the road

And do the things that you believe in

One day I ran it to my pastor

Cause my ass had needed answers for my vices and my demons

Told me I'm off and leaving

Told me don't stop believing

Change like season

I don't want to stop that show

Just pause that show for grieving

Got no reason

Hit em' with the bed rest flow, can't stop that boy from dreaming

Can't you see it

I'm leaving

Any voice can't stop this feeling, ay

You don't wanna be around this, ay

Hide and seek, they won't find us, ay

Don't know why you try so hard

But I know that you'll find a way

God sees in the finest ways

You've got you a lot to say

Sun going, you will shine today

Today

So why you running away-ay

I can tell you wanna stay-ay

I know that you wanna be somebody

Don't know why you're afrai-aid

I remember I was low-ay

Hoped my problems would go away

I know that you wanna be somebody

All you need is some hope

Hey, so why you running away-ay

I can tell you wanna stay-ay

I know that you wanna be somebody

Don't know why you're afrai-aid

I remember I was low-ay

Hoped my problems would go away

I know that you wanna be somebody

All you need is some hope

Ay ay yay yay

(Be somebody) trap souls

Give me that, ha

Give me that microphone back bro

Always doing some shit like that, man

Give me that back now
