lyrics

Hope (Again)

As I look back over these 32 years
It's crazy how I got here
I can steer clear of fears that I'll be misunderstood
‘Cause God loves me and that's good

So if you examine my plan, man, I can't really call it
Father was a sex fiend, Gramps an alcoholic
Even worse pain in my past it’s hard to face it
Only way that I could mess it up is to be complacent

Sometimes I wish I had a better grip
I wish I didn't continually find ways to trip
I thought that I might be further along
But a little bit of healing is worth a new song

I count my blessings and then I lose track
It's time to kill perceptions and instead choose fact
And maybe love for self could be something intact
Maybe God's the only one that can bring it back
That’s hope...

Hope

Hopefully I kept my rhymes dope
Inspired a few quotes and blessed a few folks
‘Cause I gotta a couple words for you if you lose hope
I’ve lost my grip a few times [and] need a new rope

I'm in a new tennis match preparing to serve
Starting at Love, the movement and the word
When the movement hits we only go up
I need the Word to hit to feel His Love

These are no longer be cliches
Stakes are even higher with me these days
About to start up a whole ‘nother chapter
Like the Huxtables - household of laughter

Watch the adventures we get after
My fam’s gonna bring praise to the Master
Gotta testify past the disaster
And remember the words of my pastor...

Hope
