Hope
Electralyte Lyrics

I wish the way I was livin' could stop
I wish I could change my lifestyle and stop serving drugs to avoid getting caught by the police on the block.

And I - wish my brother would've made bail
I wish my brother would have been released from jail so I wouldn't have to travel six hours to see him.

And I - wish that my grandmother wasn't sick
I wish my grandmother was in good health so we wouldn't have to worry about her illness.

Or that we would just come up on some stacks and hit a lick
I wish we could get lucky and come across some money to improve our financial situation, so we wouldn't have to resort to illegal means to get by.

And I - wish my homies wouldn't have to suffer
I wish my friends wouldn't have to experience hardships in life.

When the streets get the upper hand understand we lose a brother
When the streets become too dangerous, we can lose someone close to us.

And I - wish I could go deep in the zone
I wish I could be more in touch with my creative side and write inspiring music to lift people's spirits.

And lift the spirits of the world with words within this song
I hope my music can inspire and motivate people worldwide by providing them hope and optimism.

And I - wish I could teach us all to fly
I wish I could teach everyone how to rise above their problems and challenges and soar to greater heights.

Take away the pain out your hands and help you hold 'em high
I wish I could help you overcome your pain and struggles and raise your hands high in triumph.

And I - wish God had never gave the men power
I wish men didn't have the power to commit violent acts like the ones that caused the Twin Towers tragedy.

To be able to hurt the people inside the Twin Towers
The power of men has resulted in devastating acts like the attack on the Twin Towers.

And I - wish God would've turned they hearts righteous
I wish those responsible for the attacks had turned to righteousness instead of evil.

When they started to take innocent lives and become snipers
The terrorists who became snipers taking innocent lives were once normal people who chose to do evil.

But uh - we will never break though they devastate
We will remain steadfast in the face of adversity and never let tragic events break our spirit.

We shall motivate, and we gotta pray, all we got is faith
We need to stay optimistic and motivated and pray to God for strength and guidance.

Instead of thinkin' about who gon' die today
Instead of worrying about who will die next, we should focus on finding hope and light in our lives.

The Lord is gon' help you feel better so you ain't gotta cry today
God will comfort you and bring you peace so you don't have to cry anymore.

Cause I'm hopeful, yes I am, hopeful for today
I am hopeful for the present and the future as I believe there is always a way forward.

Take this music and use it, let it take you away
Let my music be a source of inspiration that will transport you away from the harsh realities of life.

And be hopeful, hopeful, and He'll make a way
Continue to be optimistic and hopeful, and God will guide you forward towards a brighter future.

I know it ain't easy but - that's okay
I understand that it's not easy to remain hopeful, but it's okay to feel that way sometimes.

Just be hopeful
Always keep hope alive and stay positive.

I wish that you would show some love
I wish people would be kind and show love instead of hatred towards others who are successful.

Instead of hatin' so much when you see some other people comin' up
Instead of hating on others who are succeeding, we should learn from them and be happy for them.

I wish I could teach the world to sing
I wish I could share my positive message with the entire world and inspire everyone to sing along.

Write some music and have them trippin' off the joy I bring
I wish that my music could inspire people and bring them joy, so they can escape their worries and problems.

Shit - I wish that we can hold hands
I wish that people could come together and show unity instead of fighting and arguing.

Listenin' instead of dissin', lessons from a grown man
We should listen and learn from one another instead of criticizing and arguing with each other.

And I - wish the families that lack but got love
I wish that poor families who have love in their hearts could be blessed with financial stability and success.

Get some stacks, brand new shack, and a 'Llac that's on dubs
I hope these families can enjoy a comfortable life with a new house and a fancy car.

And I - wish we could keep achieving wonders
I hope that we can continue to achieve great things and be amazed by the wonders of the world.

See the vision of the world through the eyes of Stevie Wonder
Just like Stevie Wonder can see the world through his music, we should try to see the world through the eyes of positivity and hope.

You feel me - and I hope all the kids eat
I wish that all children could have enough food to eat, and they wouldn't have to go hungry.

And don't nobody in my family see six feet - ya dig?
I don't want anyone in my family to die prematurely and be buried six feet under the ground.

I hope the mothers stand strong
I wish that all mothers could be strong and resilient in the face of adversity.

You can make it whether you with him or your man's gone
Whether your partner is with you or not, you can still make it through tough times with strength and perseverance.

And I - wish I could give every celly some commissary
I wish I could provide financial help to prisoners by giving them commissary funds.

And no popo bring the heat on our peace like they did R. Kelly
I don't want the police to interfere with our peace and freedom like they did with R. Kelly.

And I - wish that D.O.C. could scream again
I wish that D.O.C. could make music again and inspire people with his message.

And bullets could reverse and Pac and Biggie breathe again
I wish that the music industry could bring back Tupac and Biggie, who were lost to gun violence.

Shit - and one day they can speak again
Maybe one day we could even think about seeing them in person and hear them speak again.

I wish that we only saw good news every time we look at CNN
I hope that good news and positivity will be emphasized on the news instead of only bad news and tragedies.

I wish that enemies could talk
I wish that people who hate each other could learn to communicate and have productive conversations instead of resorting to violence.

And that Super-homie Christopher Reeve could still walk
I wish that Christopher Reeve could still be healthy and walk despite his injury.

I wish that we could walk the path stay doin' the right thing
I hope we could stay on the right path and live a virtuous life.

Hustle hard so them kids maintain up in the game
I hope we can work hard to provide for our families and ensure that our children succeed in life.

Wish the earth wasn't so apocalyptic
I wish the world would be in a better shape and not be constantly threatened by disasters and pandemics.

I try to spread my message to the world the best way that I can give it
I try to promote hope and positivity in my music and spread a positive message to my listeners.

We can make it, always so optimistic
I remain optimistic that we can overcome any challenges and difficulties we face.

If you don't listen, gotta live my life the best way that I can live it
If people don't listen to me, I will still try to live my life in the best way possible and inspire others through my actions.

I pray for justice when we go to court
I hope for fairness and justice when we face legal matters in court.

Wish it was all good so the country wouldn't have to go to war
I wish that things could be resolved peacefully and we wouldn't have to resort to war to resolve conflicts.

Why can't we kick it and just 'em on
Why can't we all get along and be friends instead of fighting or being enemies.

And in the famous words of Mister King, 'why can't we all just get along?'
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. once questioned why we cannot all be in peace and harmony, and I hope we could learn from it.

Hope we can find a better way to shop in peace
I hope we can shop and spend time outdoors without fear of violence or unrest.

And I - hope we find a better way to cop for keys
I hope we can find better and legal ways to acquire and purchase products without engaging in illegal activities.

And I - wish everybody would just stop and freeze
I wish everyone could stop for a moment and observe the beauty and peace in the world.

And ask - why are fulfilling these downfalls and these prophecies
We should examine our actions and their consequences and figure out ways to prevent negative outcomes in the future.

You can be wrong if it's you doubtin'
You can be wrong if you don't believe in yourself and doubt your abilities.

With the faith of a mustard seed, you can move mountains
Even if you have a little bit of faith, you can accomplish great feats and achieve success.

And only the heavenly father can ease the hurt
Only God can help you overcome your pain and emotional hurt.

Just let it go and keep prayin' on your knees in church
Instead of dwelling on your pain, give it to God and pray for guidance and support.
