Faith Evans - Hope lyrics
[Verse 1: Twista] I wish the way I was livin' could stop Servin' rocks, knowin' the cops is hot when I'm on the block And I - wish my brother would've made bail So I won't have to travel six hours to see him in jail And I - wish that my grandmother wasn't sick Or that we would just come up on some stacks and hit a lick (I wish) And I - wish my homies wouldn't have to suffer When the streets get the upper hand understand we lose a brother And I - wish I could go deep in the zone And lift the spirits of the world with words within this song (I wish) And I - wish I could teach us all to fly Take away the pain out your hands and help you hold 'em high And I - wish God had never gave the men power To be able to hurt the people inside the Twin Towers (I wish) And I - wish God would've turned they hearts righteous When they started to take innocent lives and become snipers But uh - we will never break though they devastate We shall motivate, and we gotta pray, all we got is faith Instead of thinkin' about who gon' die today The Lord is gon' help you feel better so you ain't gotta cry today Sit at the light so long And then we gotta move straight forward cause we bite so strong So when right go wrong Just say a lil' prayer, get your money man, life goes on... (Let's go) [Chorus: Faith Evans] Cause I'm hopeful, yes I am, hopeful for today Take this music and use it, let it take you away And be hopeful, hopeful, and He'll make a way I know it ain't easy but - that's okay Just be hopeful [Verse 2: Twista] I wish that you would show some love Instead of hatin' so much when you see some other people comin' up (I wish) I wish I could teach the world to sing Write some music and have them trippin' off the joy I bring Shit - I wish that we can hold hands Listenin' instead of dissin', lessons from a grown man (I wish) And I - wish the families that lack but got love Get some stacks, brand new shack, and a 'Llac that's on dubs And I - wish we could keep achieving wonders See the vision of the world through the eyes of Stevie Wonder (I wish) You feel me - and I hope all the kids eat And don't nobody in my family see six feet - ya dig? I hope the mothers stand strong You can make it whether you with him or your man's gone (I wish) And I - wish I could give every celly some commissary And no popo bring the heat on our peace like they did R. Kelly And I - wish that D.O.C. could scream again And bullets could reverse and Pac and Biggie breathe again Shit - and one day they can speak again I wish that we only saw good news every time we look at CNN I wish that enemies could talk And that Super-homie Christopher Reeve could still walk (I wish) I wish that we could walk the path stay doin' the right thing Hustle hard so them kids maintain up in the game (Let's go) [Chorus: Faith Evans] Cause I'm hopeful, yes I am, hopeful for today Take this music and use it, let it take you away And be hopeful, hopeful, and He'll make a way I know it ain't easy but - that's okay Just be hopeful [Verse 3: Twista] Wish the earth wasn't so apocaliptic I try to spread my message to the world the best way that I can give it We can make it, always so optimistic If you don't listen, gotta live my life the best way that I can live it I pray for justice when we go to court Wish it was all good so the country wouldn't have to go to war Why can't we kick it and just 'em on And in the famous words of Mister King, 'why can't we all just get along?' Hope we can find a better way to shop in peace And I - hope we find a better way to cop for keys And I - wish everybody would just stop and freeze And ask - why are fulfilling these downfalls and these prophecies You can be wrong if it's you doubtin' With the faith of a mustard seed, you can move mountains And only the heavenly father can ease the hurt Just let it go and keep prayin' on your knees in church (Let's go) [Chorus: Faith Evans] Cause I'm hopeful, yes I am, hopeful for today Take this music and use it, let it take you away And be hopeful, hopeful, and He'll make a way I know it ain't easy but - that's okay Just be hopeful (Repeat) Na na na na na na na na na Just be hopeful (Repeat) Na na na na na na na na na Na na na na na na na Na na na na na na na |
