Sonta - Hopeful lyrics
[Sonta - Hopeful lyrics]
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
