Sonta - Hopeful lyrics

You know, life is crazy
We all go through things that
Sometimes we can't control
We wanna see things changed that we
Don't have the authority to change
Just have hope, keep faith

Oh, 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

I wish we could get it together
When my heart's up
Instead we acting like Chicago's weather
I wish that we could love each other
Hug each other and realize we
Are sisters and brothers
And I wish that we could stop the killing
Pick a book up
Be anti-violent and just stop the drilling
I wish I could bring my cousin back
Decrease the numbers of the
Deaths that are black-on-black
I wish we wouldn't follow trends
That we would wanna stand out
And we wouldn't wanna blend
I wish we could realize the distractions
From what's important and be
Responsible for our actions
I wish the police would stop killing us
For no remorse and they get off
What's the point of a judge?
I wish my block crew would open their eyes
And see the block don't love you
It's just death in the skies

Oh, 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
'Cause we hopeful

I wish women would respect themselves
Realize that the kitty is priceless
And protect their health
I wish men would respect us as well
Ladies, we need to stop buying all
The dreams that they sell
I could give this message to all my brothers
If you wouldn't make her a wife
Then don't make her a mother
We wouldn't depend on the government
They don't care about us no more
Than we care about them
I wish we gave each other more support
You can count on your hands
The number of black-owned stores
I wish we generally cared more
We could really conquer the world
What we scared for? That we would start to
Raise these babies right
Don't let them watch Love & Hip Hop
Make them watch Nick at Nite
We could love each other 50 50
If Chicago came together
We'd would be a powerful city

Oh, 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
'Cause we 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
'Cause we 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
Oh, I'm hopeful, yes, I am hopeful for today
Take this
