"Hope" Written by Carl Mitchell (Twista), Frederick Taylor (Toxic) and Thomas Callaway (Cee-Lo) 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 (I wish) 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 a zone And lift the spirits of the world With the words within this song, And I (I wish) Wish I could teach us all to fly Take away the pain out ya hands And help you hold them high, And I Wish my homie Butch was still alive And on the day of his death We had never took that ride, And I Wish that God could protect us from The wrongs so that all the soldiers That were sent overseas come home, And I [With that God never gave the men power To be able to hurt the people Inside the Twin Towers, And I (I wish) 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 Cuz we fight so strong So when right go wrong Just say a little prayer, get ya money man Life go on Let's hope Though 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 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 wish I could teach the world to sing Watch the music and have 'em trippin' Off the joy I bring, (shiit) I wish that we could 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 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) (I wish) And I hope all the kids eat And don't nobody in my family See six feet, (ya dig) I hope them mothers staying strong You can make it whether you with him Or your man's gone, And I (I wish) Wish I could give every celly some coversary And the po po bring the heat On them priests like they did R. Kelly And I wish that D.O.C. 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 we could never get the blues Wish I could bring back the people that died Eddie, too [I wish that enemies could talk And that super homie Christopher Reeve Could still walk, (I wish)] 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 Though 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 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 that I can give it We can make it, always be 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 Never even went 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" Or we can find a better way To shout for peace, 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 prophecies You can be wrong if it's you doubtin' 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 Though 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 I know it ain't easy but that's okay Let's be hopeful Though 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 I know it ain't easy but that's okay Let's be hopeful | Twista featuring Faith Evans Twista featuring Cee-Lo Green |
