Hope (twista) Lyrics - First Lady - Faith Evans

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 

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 spirits of the world with the words with in this song and I 

Wish I could teach a soul to fly 

Take away the pain out cha hands and help you hold them high and I 

Wish my hommie Butch was still alive 

And on the day of his death we had never took that ride and I 

Wish God could protect us from the wrong 

So that all the soldiers that were sent over seas come home

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 go on, let's hope 

Though 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 could teach the world to sing 

Watch the music and have 'em trippin' of the joy I bring, shit 

I wish that we could hold hands 

Listen instead of dissin' lessons from a grown man and I 

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 

And I hope all the kids eat 

And don't nobody in my family see six feet, ya dig 

I hope them mothers stand strong 

You can make it whether you wit' him or your man's gone and I 

Wish I could give every celly some commissary 

And the po po bring the heat on them priest like they did R Kelly and I 

Wish that DOC could scream again 

And bullets could reverse so Pac and Biggie breath again, shit 

Then one day they could speak again 

I wish that we only saw good news every time we look at CNN 

I wish that we could never get the blues 

Wish I could bring back the people that died at E2 

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 

Though 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 never even went 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 

Though 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 

Though 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
