(Chorus)
I gotta make it out, or move quickly
Can't allow the past to restrict me
Bet this time around they won't skip me
I am the last hope
Don't hesitate not even for a second
The hustle has become an obsession
I'm on the front lines with my weapon
I am the last hope
(King Los)
Let me offer you some words
It go outside, egg-white, inside, yolk
Outside chrome lit, inside spoke
I was stuck outside when my inside spoke
Told me most successful people on the inside broke
Stuck outside with no inside hope
Like they stuck outside of an inside joke
And nobody laughin' they shock and leave your hold body gaspin'
Nobody askin', nobody Asprin to solve the headaches I've been through, I've done threw
Right, left, body shots
Boy I'm talkin' combos, never get the ham
Prolly make you feel like gonezo, pronto
Me and Mr. River from Toronto
f** a critic and what they could say
Lean your seat back, drop the top, let the hook play
n***a
(Chorus)
(John River)
Hey Hope City stand up
The Last Hope out this sh**
Look, welcome to the land of broken dreams
Where most n***as almost made it
Formally higher-rated, now they bitter and they jaded
They go and buy weed with their week's pay out
Could have made it to the league, but his knee gave out
Complete struggle for the greed, never see me pout
Concrete jungle full of weeds, where a seed may sprout
n***as ruminate for power and they fumigate for hours
So much violence over weed, I'm trying to bloom into a flower or a rose
n***as out here beefing over clothes
Say the wrong word, leave you leakin' like a hose
n***as reaching' on their toes to get the top of their cla**
Peep me how I rose to the top of my craft
Will fame last? Who knows
Try'na make it to a Juno
Stay clean, hope I got it in my genes, like Bluenotes
Asked my manager, said the fieldfare skinny
Last hope out my city
Since wheelchair Jimmy its real
River
(Chorus)
