Twista, CeeLo Green - Hope lyrics

Man, I know we had a lot of tragedies lately
I just wanna say rest in peace to Aaliyah
Rest in peace to Left Eye
Rest in peace to Jam Master Jay
And everybody lost in the Twin Towers
And everybody lost period all we got is hope

I wish the way I was living could stop
Serving rocks knowing the cops is hot when
I'm on the block, and I
Wish my brother woulda made bail
So I won't have to travel 6
Hours to see him in jail, and I
Wish that my grandmother wasn't sick
Or that we would just come up on
Some stacks and hit a lick, and I
(I wish)
Wish my homies wouldn't have to suffer
When the streets get the upper hand on
Us and we lose a brother, and I
Wish I could go deep in a zone
And lift the spirit's of the world with
The words with in this song, and I
(I wish) wish I could teach us all to fly
Take away the pain out cha hands
And help you hold them high, and I
Wish God never gave the men power
To be able to hurt the
People inside the Twin Towers, and I
(I wish)
Wish God woulda turned they hearts righteous
When they started to take innocent
Lives and become snipers, but uh
We will never break, though they devastate
We shall motivate
And we gotta pray, all we got is faith
Instead of thinking about who
Gonna die to day
The Lord is gonna help you feel better
So you ain't gotta cry today
Sit at the light so long
And then we gotta move straight forward
Cuz we fight so strong
So when right go wrong
Just say a little prayer, get ya money man
Life goes on let's hope
Cause, 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 that you could show some love
Instead of hatin so much when you
See some other people comin up (I wish)
I wish I could teach the world to sing
Watch the music and have 'em trippin
Off the joy I bring (shiit)
I wish that we could hold hands
Listen instead of dissin lessons
From a grown man, and I
(I wish)
Wish the families that lack, but got love
Get some stacks
Brand new shack and a lack that's on dubs
And I wish we could keep achieving wonders
See the vision of the world through
The eyes of Stevie Wonder
(you feel me, I wish)
And I hope all the kids eat
And don't nobody in my family see six feet
(ya dig) i hope them mothers staying strong
You can make it whether you wit
Him or your man's gone, and I
(I wish)
Wish I could give every celly some commissary
And the po po bring the heat on
Them priests like they did R kelly
And I wish that DOC could scream again
And bullets could reverse so Pac
And Biggie breath again (shit, I wish)
Then one day they could speak again
I wish that we only saw good news
Every time we look at CNN
I wish that enemies could talk
And that super homie Christopher
Reeve could still walk (I wish)
I wish that we could walk a path
Stay doin the right thing
Hustle hard so the kids maintain
Up in the game let's hope

Cause, 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

Wish the earth wasn't so apocalyptic
I try to spread my message to the world
The best way I can give it
We can make it always so optimistic
If you don't listen gotta live my life
The best way I can live it
I pray for justice when we go to court
Wish it was all good so the country
Wouldn't have to go to war
Why can't we kick it and just get em on
And in the famous words of Mr king
"Why can't we all just get along"
Or we can find a better
Way to shop and please, and I
Hope we find a better way to cop a keys
And I
Wish everybody would just stop and freeze
And ask way are we fulfillin
These downfalls and prophecies
You can be wrong if it's you doubting
With the faith of a mustard
Seed you can move mountains
And only the heavenly father
And ease the hurt
Just let it go and keep prayin
On your knees in church and let's hope

Cause, 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

Cause, 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 (hopeful, hopeful)
