[Verse 1 (Twista)]
|
I wish the way I was living could stop, serving rocks,
|
Knowing the cops is hot when IĄŻm on the block, And I
|
Wish my brother woulda made bail,
|
So I wonĄŻt have to travel 6 hours to see him in jail, And I
|
Wish that my grandmother wasnĄŻt sick,
|
Or that we would just come up on some stacks and hit a lick, And I (I wish)
|
Wish my homies wouldnĄŻt 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 a zone,
|
And lift the spirits of the world with the words with in this song, And I (I wish)
|
Wish I could teach a soul to fly,
|
Take away the pain out cha hands and help you hold them hi, And I
|
Wish my hommie Butch was still alive
|
And on the day of his death we had never took that ride, And I (I wish)
|
Wish God could protect us from the wrong
|
So that all the solders that were sent over seas come home And a
|
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 ainĄŻt gotta cry today.
|
Sit at the light so long,
|
And then we gotta move straight forward, cuz we fight so strong,
|
So when right go wrong,
|
Just say a little prayer, get ya money man, life go on!!!
|
LetĄŻs HOPE!
|
|
[Chorus (Faith Evans)]
|
Cuz IĄŻm hopeful, yes I am, hopeful for today,
|
Take this music and use it
|
Let it take you away,
|
And be hopeful (hopeful) and heĄŻll make a way
|
I know it ainĄŻt easy but thatĄŻs okay.
|
cause we hopeful
|
|
[Verse 2 (Twista)]
|
I wish that you could 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,
|
Watch the music and have Ąźem trippin of the joy I bring,
|
I wish that we can hold hands,
|
Listen instead of dissin lessons from a grown man, And I (I wish)
|
Wish the families that lack, but got love, get some stacks
|
Brand new shack and a lack thatĄŻs 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) (I wish)
|
And I hope all the kids eat,
|
And donĄŻt nobody in my family see six feet, (ya dig)
|
I hope them mothers stainĄŻ strong,
|
You can make it whether you wit him or your man's gone, And I (I wish)
|
Wish I could give every celly some commissary,
|
And the po po bring the heat on the priest like they did R. Kelly, And I
|
Wish that DOC could scream again
|
And bullets could reverse so Pac and Biggie breath again, (shit) (I wish)
|
Then one day they could speak again,
|
I wish that we only saw good news every time we look at CNN,
|
I wish that we could never get the blues,
|
Wish I could bring back the people that died, Eddy too
|
I wish that we could walk a path, stay doin' the right thing
|
Hustle hard so the kids maintain up in the game,
|
LetĄŻs HOPE
|
|
[Chorus (Faith Evans)]
|
Tho' IĄŻm hopeful, yes I am, hopeful for today,
|
Take this music and use it
|
Let it take you away,
|
And be hopeful (hopeful) and heĄŻll make a way
|
I know it ainĄŻt easy but thatĄŻs okay.
|
cause we hopeful
|
|
[Verse 3 (Twista)]
|
Wish the earth wasnĄŻt so apocalyptic,
|
I try to spread my message to the world the best way I can give it,
|
We can make it always be optimistic,
|
If you donĄŻt 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 never even went to war
|
Why canĄŻt we kick it and just get em on,
|
And in the famous words of Mr. King Ą°Why canĄŻt we all just get along?Ą±,
|
Or 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 a priest,
|
And ask "Why are we fulfillin' these downfalls and these prophecies?"
|
You can be wrong if itĄŻs 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 letĄŻs HOPE
|
|
[Chorus (Faith Evans) X2]
|
Oh IĄŻm hopeful, yes I am, hopeful for today,
|
| Take thi |
