Hope

To every girl who ain't never had a daddy and every boy who ain't never have a mother
写给所有没有父亲的女孩和没有母亲的男孩

那些在世界上迷失的漂亮女人似乎想着另一个男人不会爱上她
To that pretty woman lost in the world who seem to think another man won't love her
所有的都只是把话写下来而不说出来的人是永远不能避免麻烦的
All the homies locked up in the pen who can never seem to dodge that trouble
高高抬起你的头因为现在是更加美好的一天我已经祈祷把坏的时刻变成美好的时刻
Hold your head up high cause there's better days hard times I was praying for them better ways
我不知道黑人的奋斗但是我知道伤痛
I don't know a niggas struggle but I know pain
这是一个冷酷无情的世界但是黑人还在试图争取有一席之地
Cold world but a nigga trying to maintain
仍然为了一点点改变而祈祷

我不能支付账单
Still praying for a little change

Bills due and I can't pay

You don't even know the half of my heartache
他们想知道为什么这个年轻的黑人会这么艰难我从远离我的大马路来到这里
Too many I done lost is a heartbreak

And they wonder why this young nigga goin' hard I done came too far from my boulevard

依然祈祷我想要一个好的生活
Tell me how it feel when you struggle with the bills and your momma take pills and you never seen your pop
贩卖毒品可以得到你想要的然后还可以得到你想要的然后还可以得到豪华汽车

Ain't never trying to be another convict
记得当他们说过我不会成为一个很烂的人
See I can't lose and I won't quit
人们怀疑我是否有天赋
As long as God in my heart then I'm conscious
你作为什么人来判断我 我不会让我的船沉没
