Hope

No hope no hope When it's cold in the city Baby's been lost and abused Been told been told You never take pity 'Til you lived a day in her shoes Won't track her down Only trail is her track marks Carving her name She's on the move I'm a preach for hope when it's cold in the city Cause it's been long overdue Won't give up hope Won't take me down Do do do city Gonna get back up when I hit the ground Do do do city No I won't give up hope Won't take me down Do do do city No I won't back down No hope no hope When it's cold in the city Hunger gon' mess with your mind White collar don't care If you can't feed your babies You're just in the way of his grind Been told been told There's a cry in the key of a hungry tune I'm a pray for hope when it's cold in the city Cause it's been long overdue Won't give up hope Won't take me down Do do do city Gonna get back up when I hit the ground Do do do city No I won't give up hope Won't take me down Do do do city No I won't back down No hope no hope When it's cold in the city Poverty and crime it ain't right Take a long good look in the face of your fortune Tell me, do you sleep good at night Been told been told Tell somebody there's a lot more work to do I'm a pray for hope when it's cold in the city Cause it's been long overdue Won't give up hope Won't take me down Do do do city Gonna get back up when I hit the ground yeah Do do do city I won't give up hope Won't take me down Do do do city Gonna get back up when I hit the ground Do do do city No I won't give up hope Won't take me down Do do do city Gonna get back up when I hit the ground Do do do city No I won't give up hope Won't take me down Do do do city No I won't back down
