Ace Hood
Текст песни Hope

To every girl who ain't never had a daddy
And every boy who ain't never had a mother
To that pretty woman lost in the war
Who seem to think another man won't love her
All my homies locked up in the pin
Who can ever seen it, dodge that problem
Hold your head up high 'cause there's better days
Hard times, papa's praying for them better ways
Who know a nigga struggle, but I know pain
And a whole world a nigga tryina maintain
Still praying for a little change, feels blue when I can't pain
Or when your money running low when your rent late
And all saved credit going after 30 days
You don't even know the half of my heartache
Too many letter left, it's the heartbreak
Anyone know about this young nigga going hard
I done came too far from my boulevard
A couple war wounds, few battle stars
But I'm still here, living, have the same car
It's a cold world, it don't love you
Funny when a little faith in the hood do

And I know my momma praying for me
And my granny praying for me
I'm hustling for my family and that's everything in life
In the day I witnessed my daughter born it was the greatest day of my life
Take a look in my eyes, look how far a nigga came
If you search my soul, you understand my pain
I don't trust nobody and I'll probably never change
With a lil' bit of hope you can reach your dreams

For anybody who done never had a dream, you were just like me
Still believing in myself even when them niggas hating
And they told me that it could not be
It was a motherfucking lie, motivate a nigga when you see him on the block
Tell me how it feel when you struggle with the bills and your momma take pills
And you never seen your pop
That put a dent running through my childhood
Still praying that I wanna live good, selling dope get your hoes then them nice cars

I'm just thinking if I really should
Small city, young nigga with a mind set
Ain't never tryina be another cop vic
See, I can't lose and I won't quit, lock this God in my heart then I'm conscious
Remember when they said I wouldn't be shit
People doubted that I ever had a gift
Who the fuck are you to judge me, nigga?
I will never let 'em sink my ship
With the trials and tribulations nigga, still I stand
Thank God in advance

And I know my momma praying for me
And my granny praying for me
I'm hustling for my family and that's everything in life
In the day I witnessed my daughter born it was the greatest day of my life
Take a look in my eyes, look how far a nigga came
If you search my soul, you understand my pain
I don't trust nobody and I'll probably never change
With a lil' bit of hope you can reach your dreams

Growing up I wanted to be like Jordan
Even though I couldn't really afford it
Who's to say I can't be an Obama
A Tiger Woods worth about a billion dollars
Everybody wanna sell a lil' coke 'cause it's going to the niggas you know
Don't nobody wanna be another judge, young niggas only looking for the plug
Hope, watch your momma doing dope, daddy locked in the pin and you're on your own
Try to keep your head up, when you're tired and fed up
Better days gonna come, better days gonna come

And I know my momma praying for me
And my granny praying for me
I'm hustling for my family and that's everything in life
In the day I witnessed my daughter born it was the greatest day of my life
Take a look in my eyes, look how far a nigga came
If you search my soul, you understand my pain
I don't trust nobody and I'll probably never change
With a lil' bit of hope you can reach your dreams
