Hope
Ace Hood Song Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I feel you

To every girl who ain't never had a daddy, and every boy who ain't never have a mother

To that pretty woman lost in the world, who seem to think another man won't love her

All the homies locked up in the pen, who can never seem to dodge that trouble

Hold your head up high cause there's better days, hard times I was praying for them better ways

I don't know a niggas struggle but I know pain

Cold world but a nigga trying to maintain

Still praying for a little change

Bills due and I can't pay

Or when your money low when your rent late

And doc say granny gone after thirty days

You don't even know the half of my heartache

Too many I done lost is a heartbreak

And they wonder why this young nigga goin' hard I done came too far from my boulevard

Couple war wounds, few battle scars, but I'm still here living gotta thank god.

It's a cold world, it don't love you

Funny what a little faith and a hope do

Lord

[Hook]

And I know my momma praying for me,

And my granny praying for me,

I'm hustling for my family and that's every day and night,

And the day I witnessed my daughter born it was the greatest day of my life, my life.

Yeah take a look in my eyes, look how far a nigga came

You can search my soul, you understand my pain

Nigga trust nobody, and that probably never change

With a little bit of hope, you can reach your dreams

[Verse 2]

For anybody who done ever had a dream, you are just like me

Still beleving in myself even when them niggas hated and they told me that it could not be

You's a muhfuckin' lie, motivate a nigga when you see him on the block

Tell me how it feel when you struggle with the bills, and your momma take pills, and you never seen your pop.

That put a dent right into my childhood,

Still praying that I want to live good.

Selling dope get you hoes and them nice cars,

I'm just thinking if I really should.

Small city young nigga with a mindset

Ain't never trying to be another convict

See I can't lose, and I won't quit

As long as god in my heart then I'm conscious

Remember when they said I wouldn't be shit?

People doubted that I ever had a gift

Who the fuck are you to judge me nigga? I will never let them sink my ship

Through the trials and tribulations, nigga still I stand, thank god in advance

[Hook]

[Verse 3]

Growing up I wanted to be like jordan,

Even though I couldn't really afford it.

Who's to say I can't be an obama,

A tiger woods worth about a billion dollars?

Everybody wanna sell a little coke,

Cause it's cool to them niggas you know.

Nobody wanna be another judge.

Young niggas only looking for the plug (hope)

Watch your momma doing dope

Daddy locked in the pen

And you on your own

Gotta keep your head up

When you're tired and fed up

Better days gon' come

Better days gon' come

[Hook]
