Hope (feat. Papa Smurf)

World's such a mess, causing nothing but stress Nothing like loneliness when demons surround you and your homie On the homestretch, heart's pounding, am I home yet Start doubting I'll ever make it, be smart, be patient, it'll go far The devil's art will never break you, God's clever, and I'm forever grateful Know I'm at the door and about to make it, don't doubt my faith, I'm not about to waste it I can't take another day without his favor, bound to cater me now and later Provided me with sounds and paper, empowered while in clouds of vapor Endowed with abilities, too proud to fake here That's why, while I wait here, I'll savor the date Dear, do you hear it? It's getting nearer, test is clear, only one exit is best No fear, merely care, clear the air to the ones you've done wrong, cause all this evil's here I can see the end is near, from any hemisphere Seems he's the reason for tears, they're pleasing his ears, that's how I end up here This season when Jesus appears, he is feared, evil gets smeared With G-O-D, there's no beast to fear, so we can cheer Give Him praise, all of our days, please Him with our ways Escaping this evil fate, hate the seeds of the past I planted But anyway, though I can't stand it, I'm planning an escape Break free from this cage and bracelets, when I make it Cause there's no faking, to the great king, I'm in his oven and I'm baking When I'm done, I'll be taking my wings, out on flight Surrounded with white light, so bright, blind your sight That's how I know it's time to fight, I saw the signs drawing closer Raw in rhymes, drop the toaster, boast of the law divine I'm in shock and awe of His grace, do we deserve it? No sir Heavenly father, just wrap your arms around me The babies, the sis, the bros, and the whole family Brought me far from pushing powder in them baggies Trapping out back of my aunties, your mercy, it paid the bounty Your name, I'ma stand on the mountaintop and scream it proudly Thank you for all that you've done and everything that you're still doing Got me back with my kids before my life went to ruins I'ma ask you to keep these kids Lord, keep them out the street Keep them sucker free, keep them from dying by the sword I'm praying on it hard, left my childhood bruised and scarred Keep them focused on their dreams, give them hope they can reach any stars No more selling dope, no more time behind bars I'm a soldier for you father, and with the devil we at war It's God's squad, three the hard way, God's work, God's favor Look, we gon' smile today, I'ma lift my brother up from that dark place I'ma tell em' 'bout God's love, and all God's mercy Everyone around me surrounded by love Always hope, cause' he gave His son who died for all of us Watch ya folks, it's gon' be some who wanna see you fall Bounce back and get the ball, dump buckets from half court It's always a calm after the storm, used to being stuck in the cold Power in prayer, God brings me to the warmth Making moves, flatten these mountains, making them smooth Replacing the groove of death with my best in the booth As I attest, taste the water, fountain of life, returning my youth Quenching and soothing, blessed in the booth again, a testament from two hooligans Less than a fool to him, used to get messed with in school For him, cause' of my name, Godfre, now a tool for him I'm GAMboy, rearrangement, causing change on the inside No toy to play with, no joystick, just music for your enjoyment So boyish, new employment, a voyage through void spit Now let the tunes soothe and sink in, start thinking Scoop the message, a treat for your sweet tooth As the beats groove, wickedly smooth, get into it, blessed Been so sick and a mess, but now twice confessed No nights of unrest, unlike the rest There's no rest for the wicked, accept it, it's twisted, flip it Don't give in to sin again, no winning when you live in that wicked land You can begin again, every day's a new beginning man Don't forget the past, just don't relive it man Then once you did it, be proud to living God's within your hands and feet No more switching it, while others are cringing Flipping the script, spitting ridiculous, eat some spinach to this Get healthy and buff in your mind, realize your wealth is enough and it's fine Only a matter of time before you reach the castle on high Are you blind? This last song's a sign, you're the last in line They're looking for you, this passage is why They want you in a casket to fry, and that's not a lie At last, all that's left to do is blast off to the sky Now master your mind, asking if that's a sign Don't bat an eye, this is a battle of minds Now don't be caught cattle in line, heading for slaughter Now is the time, you oughta spread the word and rattle some chimes This is my battle cry
