The Hope Lyrics

Wake up in the morning, man, first thing I do is pray

You know it be sometimes, I don't be knowing to say

But I'm just thankful for all my successes and mistakes

Cause you know lessons in this life the only thing that make you great, okay

Look I'm not preacher

I'm just tryna be a leader

Been a student for so long, I could fuck around teach ya (teacher)

Yeah, I'm tryna help all the youth get here, but they don't see It

When I'm rap, shit be coming off the head like alopecia, nigga

I was about 8 years old started rapping

Pops died about a year later, they ain't wanna tell me what happen

It was something I couldn't imagine

They was saying It was suicide

Mommy crying at funeral tryna hold It down, needed you alive

I was young couldn't understand It

I was going by Tytanic

Some people felt It selfish

Damn, shit so overwhelming

Fast forward I'm high school

Doing bad, gotta switch schools

Pops came to in my dreams, like you the one I gotta get through

Growing up all I knew was getting faded

Drinking bottles on the terrace, did by the cases

Now and days, I be so blessed knowing that I made It

Cause me and bro had gowns on,but on different stages

Yea they called me to the stage too, big bro had stage four

Got to see him at the hospital, I'm just wishing he could say more

And Grew up on same floor, but we just lived on different sides

Lost many of love ones, situations where I could've died

Even if I'm feeling good, I tell people that I'm doing fine

Kids calling me the Big Kat, God really gave me 9 lives

I remember 10 years ago, when Jaffi took me for a ride

I ain't have no license at 16, still have the drive

I'm The Hope, The Hope, The Hope

I'm The Hope, The Hope

The Hope, The Hope, The Hope

I'm The Hope

Role models telling me I see you

I was doing shit for the people

Upstate trapping getting to the money, even It wasn't illegal

Wanna learn the game I could teach you

Lil ones wanna be Ty

GPA was like the 3.6

Still was bagging up a 3.5

All I knew about was grades A's on A's, that was dope

My life was really on a slope

Now the hood calling me the The Hope

The Hope, The Hope, The Hope

I'm The Hope
