Hope

Hope, hope is all you have left I just hope, hope that you have strength To cope with your last breath I just hope that you cope in the darkness The last few laps round the sun been a challenging one COVID the virus, I smell lies COVID the tyrant Got us scared to stand next to your best friend Cover your mouth bro, moment of silence Fear got us under control, they want us with our heads down Stay on roll yo stop stoking the fire Got me scraping the barrel for change But our leader's incapable and don't want to Note the defiance Media manage to spin stories without verification That's a slippery slope yo, who hoping for violence Eventually the people will start waking up Never blink, open your third eye wide Focus your iris Those who stand for nothing fall for anything Read between the lines, smell the lies, motion the choirs Let em sing, so question everything Blinded by the bling, listen and let 'em sing The song of the liars We've all been groomed as a child to follow blind So break the cycle, say f*ck that, do whatever's required It all happens in stages, feel like I've channelled the dark ages As if I wrote my rhymes on papyrus Hope, hope is all you have left I just hope, hope that you have strength To cope with your last breath I just hope that you cope in the darkness Hope is all we have left I just hope, hope that you have strength To cope with your last breath I just hope that you cope in the darkness What's the effect of this hate What's the lasting effect of a virus that doesn't discriminate Some died, complications of blood types COPD but who immunocompromised? And what about all the families broken The stress of the unknown got you barely coping People freaking out because their hope is dead I'm at the supermarket fighting for a loaf of bread Throughout the craziness I'm sitting looking at my kids faces Thinking I fucking failed at this Children stuck in a home with parents they need a break from Employment is unsure so, who do I take from Got you wondering if this is the end of days And they got you questioning All the decisions that you ever made That's fear, and it's a control mechanism That don't want you looking up at the stars and making wishes Hope Hope is all you have left I just hope, hope that you have strength To cope with your last breath I just hope that you cope in the darkness Hope is all we have left I just hope, hope that you have strength To cope with your last breath I just hope that you cope in the darkness
