HOPE

I hope you get what this life has to offer you I hope you see all the blessings like rain I hope that your struggles don't last too long I hope you still can smile after pain I hope you don't ever lose nobody But hope that when you do you still pray I hope to God that you never lose hope But if you do know its gon' be okay Cuz at the spot where Heaven and Hell meets A boy 10 pounds was born A heavy big headed seed Where headed he never knew But settled spirit at feet Of Holy one, the chosen one He only needed belief Cirque du Soleil the way That he walked the streets like a tightrope Never look down on his folk But saw that his life was a minstrel A puppet show for the masses He got his tassels for momma His father gave him the lashes To keep him far from the drama But never could of imagined The boy that grew like a weed Dandelion in fashion Every toxic environment Adapting his petals passion He took the life that was lacking Lights, camera action And made it happen Despite the no reactions Despite how food was rationed Despite the many nights by himself Where he lost compassion And hope was his only friend In the middle of cause and effect Before he paid consequence How tragic it would've been To miss all this opulence There's so much more To this life To this life I hope you get what this life has to offer you I hope you see all the blessings like rain I hope that your struggles don't last too long I hope you still can smile after pain I hope you don't ever lose nobody But hope that when you do you still pray I hope to God that you never lose hope But if you do know its gon' be okay I hope you get what this life has to offer you I hope you see all the blessings like rain I hope that your struggles don't last too long I hope you still can smile after pain I hope you don't ever lose nobody But hope that when you do you still pray I hope to God that you never lose hope But if you do know we all feel the same There's so much more To this life To this life
