Hope

HOOK (2x)
I got hope we're gonna make it
I got hope we're gonna shine
I got hope we'll be together
Leave that racist shit behind

I got hope we're gonna make it
I got hope we're gonna shine
I got hope we'll see forever
Live in peace for all mankind

VERSE 1
I got hope. I don't take your racism as a joke
You'll get smoked -If you think I'm peaceful when I'm provoked
They're using cars as weapons
Against lawful protestors
The police are standing on the sidelines
And the just arrest us?
Whose side are you on?
Protect the people?
Your troops are armed
And aiming at your sisters, brothers, fathers, and your moms
We've got no bombs, we've got no weapons, we got a voice
You keep defending our oppressors, but you've got a choice
White supremacy perpetuates the real evil
They think they own the land
They stole it from the real people
And used our blood, sweat, and tears to build the foundation
Of America - the great uncivilized nation

HOOK (2x)
I got hope we're gonna make it
I got hope we're gonna shine
I got hope we'll be together
Leave that racist shit behind

I got hope we're gonna make it
I got hope we're gonna shine
I got hope we'll see forever
Live in peace for all mankind

VERSE 2
Some call me optimistic
Some call me realistic
Some say I got the vision
But it's cuz I seen a mystic
Who told me everything I think is a reality
That's why I care about my work more than a salary
Cuz it's about the people
Until we all are equal
You've only got one life to live and no there is no sequel
Haters are see-through
I hate the way how they see you and me
That's why "We The People"
Aren't satisfied til our status is higher than any steeple
Revolution is what we do
Papito is what mi familia calls on the d-low
We at the round table, plotting out our domination
Like Toussaint the Haitian
Fight to give us true emancipation
Have no fear. Let me be clear
Right here's where I stand
With the power of the people that I put into a plan
We demanding to know the truth
Take a stand and then we'll be free
Keep that light, protect your fire
Cuz there's hope for you and me
Said I got hope...

HOOK (2x)
I got hope we're gonna make it
I got hope we're gonna shine
I got hope we'll be together
Leave that racist shit behind

I got hope we're gonna make it
I got hope we're gonna shine
I got hope we'll see forever
Live in peace for all mankind
