Hopeful
Bars Lyrics

Please help me God, I feel so alone
I am reaching out to a higher power because I feel isolated and need comfort.

I'm just a kid, I can't take it on my own
I am young and inexperienced, and I am struggling with my problems on my own.

I've cried so many tears, yeah, writing this song
I have poured my emotions into this song, which speaks about the pain I've experienced.

Trying to fit in. Where do I belong?
I am searching for a place where I am accepted and feel like I belong.

I wake up every day, don't wanna leave my home
I dread going outside because of the fear of being bullied and ostracized.

My mamma's askin' me why I'm always alone
My mother is concerned about my isolation and wants to know the reason behind it.

Too scared to say, too scared to holler
I am afraid to speak up and communicate my struggles and pain to others.

I'm walking to school with sweat around my collar
The fear and anxiety of being bullied is causing me physical distress.

I'm just a kid, I don't want no stress
I am too young to handle the stress and challenges that come with being bullied.

My nerves are bad, my life's a mess
The constant fear and anxiety has resulted in a chaotic and stressful life.

The names you call me, they hurt real bad
The hurtful and derogatory names I am called have a deep impact on me.

I want to tell my Mom She's havin' trouble with my Dad
I am hesitant to confide in my mother because she is already dealing with her own problems.

I feel so trapped, there's nowhere to turn
I feel like I have exhausted all my options and have nowhere else to go.

Come to school Don't wanna fight I wanna learn
I am eager to learn and receive an education but the fear of being bullied is disrupting my ability to do so.

So please mister Bully Tell me what I've done You know I have no Dad I'm livin' with my Mom
I am pleading with my bully to explain why they are targeting me, especially since I come from a single-parent household.

'Cause I'm hopeful, yes, I am Hopeful for today Take this music and use it Let it take you away And be hopeful, hopeful And He'll make a way I know it ain't easy but that's okay Just be hopeful
Despite my struggles, I am optimistic and have hope for the future. I am using music to cope with my pain and encourage others to remain hopeful even when things are tough.

Why do you trip at the colour of my skin And whether I'm fat or whether I'm thin You call me loser, you call me a fool I ain't got a choice, I gotta go to school
I am being bullied for things I have no control over, such as my skin color or body size. Despite this, I am forced to attend school.

I wish I had an angel to stick by my side I'm shaking with fear, I'm so scared inside Doesn't really matter if I ain't got the looks Why do you always hurt me and destroy my books?
I feel alone and afraid, and wish that someone was there to protect me. The bullies are targeting me for no real reason and are causing harm to me and the things I own.

I give you all my money every single day I didn't ask to be born but now I have to pay I ain't got no food, you take all I have When I give it to you, you search through my bags
The bullies are taking advantage of me, forcing me to give them money and stealing what little possessions I have. They are searching through my things to humiliate and degrade me further.

I wrote this song for you to see We could've been friends, yeah you and me Mister bully, take a moment please Every single day you bring me to my knees
I am pleading with my bully to see me as a human being and to stop the abuse. I am hoping that we could have had a positive relationship, but their actions have caused me great pain.

'Cause I'm hopeful, yes, I am Hopeful for today Take this music and use it Let it take you away And be hopeful, hopeful And He'll make a way I know it ain't easy but that's okay Just be hopeful
Once again, I am expressing my hope and optimism for the future. I am encouraging others to use music to cope with their struggles and to remain positive in the face of adversity.

What I wear is all I have We lost our home, I'm livin' from a bag Yo mister bully, help me please I'm flesh and blood, accept me please
I am living in poverty, with only the clothes on my back and a bag with my belongings. Once again, I am pleading with my bully to treat me with respect and accept me as a human being.
