Hope(Twista) - Faith Evans (菲丝·伊凡斯)

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

'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

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

Sh*t 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

Sh*t 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

'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

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

'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

'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

'Cause we hopeful

Hopeful

Hopeful
