Hope
Asiah Lyrics

We all got hopes and dreams
Everyone has aspirations and desires for their future

Is it really in the hands of god
Asking whether fate is predetermined or whether we have control over our lives

All these tears
Acknowledging the pain and difficulties of life

I get stronger when they drop
Using hardships to grow and become stronger

On my knees
Turning to prayer and supplication when faced with adversity

And I'm praying for the suffering to stop
Asking for an end to the pain and struggles of life

I can not be somebody I'm not
Being true to oneself and not pretending to be someone else

I give you who I am and what I got
Offering oneself and all they have to give

Sometimes I'm way too sensitive
Admitting to being emotionally vulnerable and easily affected

I'm trynna get rid of all the negative
Striving to eliminate negative thoughts and emotions

With all these girls that I don't settle with
Refusing to compromise on standards and desires

They want it all not half of it
Refusing to settle for less than what is desired

We got big plans
Having ambitious goals and aspirations

Let's get this money
Working hard and striving for financial success

We don't need it in advance
Being confident in one's abilities to succeed without handouts

You don't believe it but I do it for the fans
Doing what one loves for the sake of their supporters

I'm still on my feet but it's getting out of hand
Managing to stay strong despite mounting difficulties and challenges

They always told me that I gotta be a man
Living up to societal expectations of masculinity

The old me didn't really understand
Reflecting on past mistakes and lack of insight

That it's in my hands, my hands
Realizing that one's life is ultimately in their own control

Sometimes I don't see the lesson in things
Not always understanding the purpose or meaning behind challenges and hardships

The pain yeah I feel it less when I sing
Finding solace and relief from pain through music

Looking at the music and the rest that I bring
Appreciating the impact of one's music and what it brings to others

As long as i'm alive, there is hope
Holding onto hope and the potential for better things, as long as one is alive

Spending too much time thinking how can I be free
Ruminating on ways to escape struggles and obstacles

With all these demons in my life, they don't really ever leave
Acknowledging ongoing struggles and issues that don't simply disappear

It doesn't come as a surprise when I bleed
Expecting and accepting pain and hardship as a natural part of life

Broken inside and all the weight is on me
Feeling emotionally drained and overwhelmed with responsibility

You gotta understand that this the way life goes
Recognizing that life is not always easy or fair

My life is like a movie gotta play my role
Seeing one's life as a story and feeling a sense of obligation to fulfill a certain role

This time I gotta save my soul
Feeling a need to prioritize spiritual and emotional wellbeing

The devil in a suit trynna take my soul
Facing external influences that threaten to negatively impact one's life and wellbeing

As long as I'm here
As long as one is alive and present

I'm always busy fighting fears
Dealing with and addressing fears and insecurities

I'm looking at the time and i watch it disappear
Feeling that time is slipping away quickly

The only thing that's gonna fall is my tears
Expecting to experience emotional pain and sadness

I've been dreaming every day for ten years
Holding onto big dreams and aspirations for an extended period of time
