Gave Me Hope

This goes out to anyone who gave me hope
Words help more then you know
Got me out the hole when i was in my lows
Showed me i was not alone which helped me grow
This goes out to anyone who gave me hope
Words help more than you know
Got me out the hole when i was in my lows
Showed me i was not alone which helped me grow

Verse 1 -

In my 7th to 8th grade football days
You drove me out to every single game
Even though i barely played
Yet when i did they stuck me in the line with guys
That were twice my size
Then expect me to survive
Sometimes i would have to dive
Wondered why i tried
Was barely getting by no matter how hard that id fight
All of this to get some respect from the jocks i didn't like
Just so i could sit at their table pretending that we tight
Man i wanted to quit i was ready to give
But my grandpa told me i should finish i did it for him
Told me we don't always have to win to be able to win
Its all about what you do with that time that you get
Hurts me to think about how i didn't thank you for guidance
Waited to long can't predict when life ends
Wish i could of done more that night when
You passed in front of me shows how fragile life is

Verse 2 -

This goes out to every single homie that I've ever made
Supported in any way like checkin' if I'm ok
Cause i went through a phase
Where i wanted to ignore every message that came through my inbox
Almost blocked the source
I understand I've made mistakes
But everything became a chore i didn't want to deal with anymore
All of my responses felt like they were either faked or forced
So i just took a break and stepped away opened up some doors
Looking for a place to breathe
Maybe i can find that key
To myself in this world before i have to leave
Couldn't expect to lead and take advantage of my team
Id like to think I'm needing you as much as you be needing me
But ego loves to speak for itself saying stuff i didn't mean
Tends to ruin friendships especially
Ones that had longevity
Yet if it wasn't for your reassurance id doubt id be the person that i dreamed

Verse 3 -

This goes to fam
Who gave a helping hand while i grew up
Turning me into the man i am
Even when those goals that i set didn't go as planned
You showed me we don't only get approval by a stamp
Four year college tuition was over two hundred grand
And i wasn't scholar enough to get a single grant
Didn't want the loans so i owe another man
Money i don't got I'm still thanking God you understand so
