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
Thirty years you been draggin' your feet Tellin' me I'm the reason we're stagnant Thirty 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 (failure) I know this hurts (hurts) But I gave you your chance to deliver But now it's my turn Don't get me wrong, nature had a great run But it's time to give the people somethin' different So without further ado, I'd like to introduce My album, my album, my album, my album, my album, my album Hopе What's my definition of success? Listening to what your hеart 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 could Bein' great enough to dream big Grindin' when you're told to just quit Givin' more when you got nothin' left It's a person that I'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 someone who ain't never had nothin' Ain't afraid to walk away from more perfect 'Cause they rather do somethin' they really lovin' than takin' a paycut It's a person who would never waiver Or change who they are Just to try to gain some credibility So they could feel accepted by a stranger It's a person that 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 thing I regret I done said things I can't take back Was a lost soul at a cross road with 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 Someone say having a mental breakdown is a negative thing Was the push I needed to get help I needed and start the healing process If I never hit rock bottom Would I be the person I am today? I don't believe so Choose to not accept defeat It took me thirty years to realize if you want to get the opportunity to be the best version of yourself Sometimes you got to be someone you're not If you really take a step back At least for me that's what I did
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
Thirty years of feeling Thirty years of searching Thirty years of hurting Thirty years of pain Thirty years of fearful Thirty years of anger Thirty years of empty Thirty years of shame Thirty years of broken Thirty years of anguish Thirty years of hopeless
Thirty years of hate Thirty years of never Thirty years of maybe Thirty years of later Thirty years of fake Thirty years of hollow Thirty years of sorrow Thirty years of darkness
Thirty years of hate Thirty years of baggage Thirty years of sadness Thirty years of stagnant Thirty years of change Thirty years of anxious Thirty years of suffering Thirty years of torment
Thirty years of hate Thirty years of bitter Thirty years of lonely Thirty years of questioning 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 I just wanna give up Not running away
You don't have the guts You're the one afraid I'm the one in charge (no) I'm taking the I'm taking the Reins
