Man, I know we had a lot of tragedies lately | |
I just wanna say rest in peace to Aaliyah | |
Rest in peace to Left Eye, rest in peace to Jam Master Jay | |
And everybody lost in the Twin Towers | |
And everybody lost period all we got is hope | |
I wish the way I was living could stop, serving rocks | |
Knowing the cops is hot when I'm on the block, and I | |
Wish my brother woulda made bail | |
So I won't have to travel 6 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, and I | |
Wish my homies wouldn't have to suffer | |
When the streets get the upper hand on us and we lose a brother, and I | |
Wish I could go deep in the zone | |
And lift the spirits of the world with the words within this song, and I | |
Wish I could teach a soul to fly | |
Take the weight of pain out your hands and help you hold them high, and I | |
Wish God never gave the men power | |
To be able to hurt the people inside the Twin Towers, and I | |
Wish God woulda 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 thinking about who gonna die today | |
The Lord is gonna 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 fight so strong | |
So when right go wrong, just say a little prayer | |
Get your money man, life go on, let's hope | |
'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 | |
And I know it ain't easy but that's okay, let's be hopeful | |
I wish that you could show some love | |
Instead of hatin' so much when you see some other people comin' up | |
I wish I could teach the world to sing | |
Write some music and have â€~em trippin' off the joy I bring, shiet | |
I wish that we can hold hands | |
Listen instead of dissin' lessons from a grown man, and I | |
Wish the families that lack, but got love, get some stacks | |
Brand new shack and a â€~lac that's on dubs, and I | |
Wish we could keep achieving wonders, see the vision | |
Of the world through the eyes of Stevie Wonder, you feel me? | |
And I hope all the kids eat | |
And don't nobody in my family see six feet, you dig? | |
I hope them mothers stand strong | |
You can make it whether you with him or your man's gone, and I | |
Wish I could give every celly some convissary | |
And the po po bring the heat on them priest like they did, R. Kelly, and I | |
Wish that DOC could scream again | |
And bullets could reverse so Pac and Biggie breath again, shiet | |
Then one day they could 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 Reeves could still walk | |
I wish that we could walk a path, stay doin' the right thing | |
Hustle hard so the kids maintain up in the game, let's hope | |
'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 | |
And I know it ain't easy but that's okay, let's be hopeful | |
Wish the earth wasn't so apocalyptic | |
I try to spread my message to the world the best way 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 get 'em on | |
And in the famous words of Mr. King, ‽Why can't we all just get along?†| |
Hope we can find a better way to shop and please, and I | |
Hope we find a better way to cop a keys, and I | |
Wish everybody would just stop and freeze | |
And ask, "Why are we fulfillin' these downfalls and these prophecies?" | |
You can be wrong if it's you doubting | |
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 and let's hope | |
'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 | |
And 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 | |
And I know it ain't easy but that's okay | |
Let's be hopeful, let's be hopeful, let's be hopeful |
