[Intro: Felicia Horowitz Sample]
Isn't it great to live in a time, where hope has unprecedented reach and because of the information age, that we live in today, hope is now accessible to each and every one of us. Thank you for listening
[Hook: LoVel]
The diamond in your eyes, is shining through the night, I see its all inside of you (Hope)
The fire in your soul, will never let you fall, it's always burning bright for you
[Verse 1]
I came out the hood wit' better dreams, wit' better scenes
Of scenaries I could see, to be all that I could be
And more, so I explore, observing everything I saw
Every lesson was raw, every blessing absorbed (Hope)
No hand out's, your mans out, wit' grams out
On the block wit' no planned route, so that ain't pan out
In due time, the world 'ill be mine, I kept my eyes on the prize
And realized, that everything that I survived
Shows and proves I was meant to be here, what a blessing to breathe air
Believe you can achieve and you'll be there
Yeah, I thought I would grow rich, off coke bricks
What you expect from a broke kid, that go get (Hope)
Determined mind that's so set, to blow next
Wit' flows sick wit' a cold spit, and no sweat
I persevered through my worst years, incarcerated
All praises due to the Most High, thank God I made it
[Hook]
[Verse 2]
Life's a challenge, wit' malice it throw you off balance
What really matters is how you grab it and how you at it
Means not what happens to you, but how you respond to it
So live your life laughing brutal and move calm through it
You never know when you only one step away from
Seeing success, from all your stress, since day one
Most never make it 'cause they gave up and laid up
But stay so motivated, greater later, paid up
Hater's they hate it, but I guess it's one less of a friend
Just be your greatest, let success be your best revenge
My gla** never half empty, see it half full
Better to do what you want, than what you have too
So when you feeling hopeless, try to maintain your focus
Follow one course until successful, walk through doors you open
Be in a better place, better state, meditate
(Hope) Helping oppressed people elevate
[Hook]
[Verse 3]
They wanna know how I persevered, when the worse was here
How I fortified my mind in my worsest years
I guess my glory's my story, they wanna tell it for me
The accolades, the praise, they wanna pour it on me
I'm just a humble kid from blocks where the jungle is
Beast on this concrete, 'cause this ain't where the humble live
So what the weak do, to stand up and reach through
When the world is so lethal, it eats you (Hope)
All I had was coke, then all I had was hope
Anxious but I was patient, couldn't wait to explode
Global and overdose, to see the bigger picture
It's so hard against the odds, but when God is wit' ya (Hope)
Who can be against you, I guess to be your best you
Gotta go through hell, a cell was my hell I went through
I persevered through my worst years, incarcerated
All praises due to the Most High, thank God I made it (Hope)
[Hook]
