Ace Hood - Hope

[Verse 1] I feel you To every girl who ain't never had a daddy, and every boy who ain't never have a mother To that pretty woman lost in the world, who seem to think another man won't love her All the homies locked up in the pen, who can never seem to dodge that trouble Hold your head up high cuz there's better days, hard times I was praying for them better ways I don't know a niggas struggle but I know pain Cold world but a nigga trying to maintain Still praying for a little change Bills due and I can't pay Or when your money low when your rent late And doc say granny gone after thirty days You don't even know the half of my heartache Too many I done lost is a heartbreak And they wonder why this young nigga goin' hard I done came too far from my boulevard Couple war wounds, few battle scars, but I'm still here living gotta thank God. Its a cold world, it don't love you Funny what a little faith and a hope do Lord [Hook] And I know my momma praying for me, And my granny praying for me, I'm hustling for my family and thats every day and night, And the day I witnessed my daughter born it was the greatest day of my life, my life. Yeah take a look in my eyes, look how far a nigga came You can search my soul, you understand my pain Nigga trust nobody, and that probably never change With a little bit of hope, you can reach your dreams [Verse 2] For anybody who done ever had a dream, you are just like me Still beleving in myself even when them niggas hated and they told me that it could not be You's a muhfuckin' 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 right into my childhood, Still praying that I want to live good. Selling dope get you hoes and them nice cars, I'm just thinking if I really should. Small city young nigga with a mindset Ain't never trying to be another convict See I can't lose, and I won't quit As long as 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 them sink my ship Through the trials and tribulations, nigga still I stand, thank God in advance [Hook] [Verse 3] 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 little coke, Cuz its cool to them niggas you know. Nobody wanna be another judge. Young niggas only looking for the plug (hope) Watch your momma doing dope Daddy locked in the pen And you on your own Gotta keep your head up When you're tired and fed up Better days gon' come Better days gon' come [Hook]
