Hope, I'm on my way, I'm coming Don't, don't lose faith in me I know you've been waiting I know you've been praying for my soul Oh, oh Thirty years you've been dragging your feet Telling me I'm the reason we're stagnant Thirty years you've been claiming you're honest And promising progress, well where is it at? I don't want you to feel like a failure I know this hurts But I gave you your chance to deliver Now it's my turn Don't get me wrong Nature had the great right But it's time to Give the people something different So without further ado I Like to introduce my My album, my album, my album, my album I heard it, my album, my album Hope What's my definition of success? Listening to what your heart says Standing up for what you know is Right while everybody else is Talking their tail between their legs What's my definition of success? Creating something no one else can Being brave enough to dream big Grinding when you're told to just quit Leaving more when you got nothing left It's a person that'll take a chance on Something they were told could never happen It's a person that can see the bright side Through the dark times when there ain't one It's when someone who ain't never had nothing Ain't afraid to walk away from More perfect cause they'd rather do something That they really love and take the pay cut It's a person that would never waver Or change who they are just to try and gain some Credibility so they can feel accepted by a stranger It's a person that can take the fears in their life And turn them into motivation It's believing in yourself when no one else does It's amazing what a little bit of faith can do If you don't even believe in you Why would you think or expect Anybody else that's around you to? I done did things that I regret I done said things I can't take back Was a lost soul at a crossroad Who had no hope but I changed that I spent years of my life holding on to things I never should've kept full of hatred Years of my life carrying a lot of baggage That I should've walked away from Years of my life wishing I was someone different Looking for some validation Years of my life trying to fill a void Pretending I was simple They get it Pain's a necessary evil Difficult to go through Yes but beneficial Some would say having a mental breakdown Is a negative thing Which on one hand I agree But on the other hand It was the push I needed To get help and start the healing process See if I'd have never hit rock bottom Would I be the person that I am today? I don't believe so You're an example of what happens When you choose to not accept defeat and pressure Demons took me 30 years to realize That if you wanna get the opportunity To be the greatest version of yourself Sometimes you gotta be someone You're not to hear the voice of reason Having kids won't make you really take a step back And look in the mirror At least for me that's what it did I wake up everyday and pick my son up Hold him in my arms and let him know he's loved Standing by the window questioning If that is ever going to show up Isn't something he's gonna have to worry about Don't get it twisted, that wasn't a shot Mama I forgive you I just don't want him to grow up Thinking that he'll never be enough 30 years of running 30 years of searching 30 years of hurting 30 years of pain 30 years of fearful 30 years of anger 30 years of empty 30 years of shame 30 years of broken 30 years of anguish 30 years of hopeless 30 years of hey 30 years of never 30 years of maybe 30 years of later 30 years of fade 30 years of hollow 30 years of sorrow 30 years of darkness 30 years of pain 30 years of beggings 30 years of sadness 30 years of stagnant 30 years of change 30 years of patience 30 years of suffering 30 years of torment 30 years of what? 30 years of bitter 30 years of anger 30 years of chaos 30 years of unhappiness 30 years of fear 30 years of pain 30 years of escape 30 years of tiredness 50 years of running 50 years of searching 50 years of self care 55 years of nocription 55 years of self blood 50 years of suffering 55 years of being Ebran
