Hopeful

Chorus
Hopeful for my future
Praying that it’s gon get better
Hopeful for my people
Cause right now ain’t for forever

Hopeful that one day
The whole word see eye to eye
Sick of turning on the TV
Seeing a black man die

Hopeful we can come together
Love and make a change
Promise if you don’t and if we won’t
It’ll be the same, shit

Karma is a bitch
One day you gotta pay a price
Shit, I put that on my momma
And I put that on my life

Verse 1
Another day, another story
Another black man killed
Another hashtag attached
This the world that we live
There ain’t no justice for us
Shit, we barely are free
Niggas still chained to the system
From the mental so deep
No reparations, 40 acres
Ever given to us
I keep my faith, I do it spiritual
Its God that I trust
Shit, I focus on the good
And stay away from the bad
Hoping one day that things will change
Leave it all in the past

Pre Chorus
See the problem is
You think cause I’m black I’m a criminal
See the problem is
They kill and get sentenced the minimum
The problem is
Your privilege let you do it before
Maybe one day things will change
But the world may never know

Chorus
Hopeful for my future
Praying that it’s gon get better
Hopeful for my people
Cause right now ain’t for forever

Hopeful that one day
The whole word see eye to eye
Sick of turning on the TV
Seeing a black man die

Hopeful we can come together
Love and make a change
Promise if you don’t and if we won’t
It’ll be the same, shit

Karma is a bitch
One day you gotta pay a price
Shit, I put that on my momma
And I put that on my life

Verse 2
Momma said the world is gone
People going crazy
Got 99 problems, shit
And I ain’t talking Jay Z
Just turn your TV on
Man its enough to drive you loco
America so racist
Now it’s hard to trust the po-po
And poor folks, struggling
Tryna get out the ghetto
Systemic racism got
Everybody in a choke hold
Before they killed Trayvon
They was beating Rodney King
Shit, after they killed George
They ignored us again

Pre Chorus
See the problem is
You probably really don’t give a fuck
See the problem is
You too busy, been listening to Trump
Now you caught up in your ways
Tryna make America Great
Eyes full of fury and your heart full of hate

Bridge
Aye look
Fuck what you heard
Aye, black lives matters
That don’t mean that yours don’t
Shit, we been through hassles
Started from the bottom
Yeah you thought we wouldn’t make it
Love the skin I’m in
That melanin that God created
Black is what you call it
And we come in different shades
Dealing with racism, stereotypes everyday
This is for my people
Through hell and back we gon shine
Love yourself, build up your wealth
And always educate your mind

Chorus
Hopeful for my future
Praying that it’s gon get better
Hopeful for my people
Cause right now ain’t for forever

Hopeful that one day
The whole word see eye to eye
Sick of turning on the TV
Seeing a black man die

Hopeful we can come together
Love and make a change
Promise if you don’t and if we won’t
It’ll be the same, shit

Karma is a bitch
One day you gotta pay a price
Shit, I put that on my momma
And I put that on my life
