Last Hope

[Verse - Thomas Hazey]
All I ever needed was a positive mind state
And  a lot of grace from above, cause love is all we got
Still  the biggest fiend for the cold, the hell I ditched is hot

Far from perfect
Father thought Hazey was worth deserting
And  I'm certain for the right price niggas souls could get purchased
We  been hurtin, temptation is lurkin - the devil's flirting
Suicidal thoughts and eish - your soul's purchased

Uncle  always told me that living's about choices
Still embarrassed by the things that I did when I was a moist kid
A voice for the voiceless
I rejoiced when I wrote this
My  eyes are wide-open without partaking in coke sniffs
And some of yall confused cause I'm always spitting that dope shit

GOD spoke to me and he told me - "yo Hazey focus"
On the earth you live upon you bound to walk amongst some serpents

Huh, trust issues
Forgive me If I dismiss you
In this post-modern era, only a handful still speak truth
Woke folks still dropping knowledge like they done skipped school
Propaganda shoots image of niggers, like we are pissed still
Broken homes collapsing quicker than flats with no roof
Or facts with no proof
We misleading our own youth

I'm not an activist, just a rapper with active fist
Money was a issue, but that's normal cause I'm black and shit

I make music for niggas that still listen
And more importantly, for those that think different
It's mad wicked, my nigga it's wicked
But whatever the stakes, when with God - I'm no victim
And when things got harder, I was taught to develop thick skin

I'm only twenty, the years ahead are plenty
And even if they not
Despite my inequities and the things that you hate bout me
Just know that Dean was real and yet he never lost the plot

Shit, I'm barely pissed off
The truth was always loud
I'm honest, I never speak soft
Life is just a pattern of getting head in a coin toss
Moving with this wisdom, instead of moving with kids lost

Eyes closed, just a couple fiends battling foes
Played the part of a villain, done lived this life on my toes
Are you opposed to niggas whose thinking is far from old?
Collateral damage, plus I'm black and I fit the mould
In a league of my own, you claim that Madiba just a ghost
In the southern parts of Africa, people purchasing hope
