متن آهنگ HOPE از NF

Hope I'm on my way, I'm coming Don't, don't lose faith in me I know you've been waitin' I know you've been prayin' for my soul Hope Hope 30 years you been draggin' your feet Tellin' me I'm the reason we're stagnant 30 years you've been claimin' your rightness And promisin' progress, but where's it at? I don't want you to feel like a failure I know this hurts But I gave you your chance to deliver Now it's my turn Don't get me wrong Nate, you've had a great run But it's time to Give the people somethin' different So without further ado, I'd Like to introduce my My album, my album, my album My album, my album, my album Hope What's my definition of success? Listening to what your heart says Standing up for what you know is Right, while everybody else is Tucking their tail between their legs (okay) What's my definition of success? Creating something no one else can Bein' brave enough to dream big Grindin' when you're told to just quit Givin' more when you got nothin' left It's a person that'll take a chance on Somethin' they were told could never happen It's a person that can see the bright side Through the dark times when there ain't one It's when someone who ain't never had nothin' Ain't afraid to walk away from more profit 'Cause they rather do somethin' that they really love And take the pay cut It's a person that would never waiver Or change who they are Just to try to gain some credibility So they could feel accepted by a stranger or It's a person that can take the failures in their life And turn them into motivation It's believin' in yourself when no one else does It's amazing What a little bit of faith can't do If you don't even believe in you Why would you think or expect anybody else That's around you to? I done did things, that I regret I done said things I can't take back Was a lost soul, at a cross road Who had no hope, but I changed that I spent years on my life holdin' on to things I never shouldn't have kept, full of hatred Years on my life carryin' a lot of baggage That I should've walked away from Years on my life wishin' I was someone different Lookin' for some validation Years of my life tryna fill the void Pretending I was in- "They get it" Growing pain's a necessary evil Difficult to go through, yes, but beneficial Some would say having a mental breakdown is a negative thing Which on one hand I agree with On the other hand it was the push I needed To get help and start the healing process See, if I'da never hit rock bottom Would I be the person that I am today? I don't believe so I'm a perfect example of what happens when you Choose to not accept defeat and face your demons Took me 30 years to realize that if you wanna get The opportunity to be the greatest version of yourself Sometimes you got to be someone you're not To hear the voice of reason Having kids will make you really take a step back And look in the mirror At least for me that's what it did, I Wake up every day and pick my son up Hold him in my arms and let him know he's loved (loved) Standing by the window questioning if Dad is ever going to show up (up) Isn't something he's goin' to have to worry about Don't get it twisted, that wasn't a shot Mama, I forgive you I just don't want him to grow up Thinkin' that he'll never be enough 30 years of running, 30 years of searching 30 years of hurting, 30 years of pain 30 years of fearful, 30 years of anger 30 years of empty, 30 years of shame 30 years of broken, 30 years of anguish 30 years of hopeless, 30 years of (hate) 30 years of never, 30 years of maybe 30 years of later, 30 years of fake 30 years of hollow, 30 years of sorrow 30 years of darkness, 30 years of (Nate) 30 years of baggage, 30 years of sadness 30 years of stagnant, 30 years of change 30 years of anxious, 30 years of suffering 30 years of torment, 30 years of (wait) 30 years of bitter, 30 years of lonely 30 years of pushing everyone away "You'll never evolve," "I know I can change" "We are not enough," "We are not the same" "You don't have the heart," "You don't have the strength" "You don't have the will," "You don't have the faith" "You'll never be loved", "You'll never be safe" "Might as well give up," "Not running away" "You don't have the guts," "You're the one afraid" I'm the one in charge, I'm taking the (no) I'm taking the- Reigns ♪
