Hope Full

Nobody lets beats play anymore Know what I mean? They always just start rappin and shit like Remember when they used to let it just play you could catch a feel or whatever... [Chorus] Look me in my eyes for a minute I ain’t cried in a minute I been dyin on the inside I been tryin just to get us Like my eyes got this tint It’s really hard for me to just smile Lookin round just make me sad They don’t get my frown and that shit just make me mad I never stay down when life kick me in my ass Cause shit ain’t ever hopeless But I wonder should I hope less? [Verse 1] What’s the cost of payin attention? Is it too much to be free? Walk in the room like ye high sway all the tension But none of my answers definite Playin lots the same notes Think I need some new chords Doin lotta maintenance think I need some new chores Think I need to do mine And you need to do yours Makin sure we all win Maybe we should lose more Maybe we would learn then Maybe we should try shit I don’t want the love if it’s on some one-time shit I ain’t really hear this beat until the sunlight hit I be scared that I’ll never be on the run height shit Sometimes it’s just time for a change I wish I could do the world, but I’ll start with me And no matter how well the music age What’s it mean if I never find harmony? [Chorus] Look me in my eyes for a minute I ain’t cried in a minute I been dyin on the inside I been tryin just to get us Like my eyes got this tint It’s really hard for me to just smile Lookin round just make me sad They don’t get my frown and that shit just make me mad I never stay down when life kick me in my ass Cause shit ain’t ever hopeless But I wonder should I hope less? [Verse 2: Ricky Motional] I’m boutta hit L.E.S. wit my final check Shit I just got a letter from the I.R.S Philosophy with that on Clinton’s Harlem office They gon have to get through many brothas just to get to me If you tryna reach me then it’s better not to message me A flair or the bat signal function more effectively Anything but that I really hate my Jack and all these stupid social obligations that yall have for me to keep it packed Bun tied underneath my Yankee cap My city wit me everywhere I go Overshield for phony shit to which we be exposed Ex says she want nothin to do wit me no more But still posts pictures in my clothes Common sense erodes, enough of that shit Let me light the pack a bowl of that And plus a bowl of Apple Jacks A perfect stack My grandma tried to say I need a new distraction One that don’t involve consumption, numbin pain or bein passive All that on my body’s taxin Told her I might make a switch I ain’t make a promise cause I like my nose the way it is Maybe I could go from toy to boy soon See what life is kinda like Til then I’ll be overdosed on Mike and Ike’s shit I just hope that [Chorus] Look me in my eyes for a minute I ain’t cried in a minute I been dyin on the inside I been tryin just to get us It’s like my eyes got this tint It’s really hard for me to just smile Lookin round just make me sad They don’t get my frown and that shit just make me mad I never stay down when life kick me in my ass Cause shit ain’t ever hopeless But I wonder should I hope less?
