Watch the music and have 'em trippin' of the joy I bring, shit
And then we gotta move straight forward, 'cuz we fight so strong
Take this music and use it, let it take you away
I pray for justice when we go to court
With the faith of a mustard seed you can move mountains
Instead of thinking about who gonna die to day
Wish I could go deep in a zone
I hope them mothers stand strong
Wish the earth wasn't so apocalyptic
Wish I could bring back the people that died at E2
I know it ain't easy but that's okay, 'cause we hopeful
Wish everybody would just stop and freeze
The Lord is gonna help you feel better, so you ain't gotta cry today
I know it ain't easy but that's okay
Listen instead of dissin' lessons from a grown man and I
I wish that we could hold hands
You can be wrong if it's you doubting
And on the day of his death we had never took that ride and I
I wish that we could walk a path, stay doin' the right thing
Though I'm hopeful, yes, I am hopeful for today
Wish my brother woulda made bail
So that all the soldiers that were sent over seas come home
Though I'm hopeful, yes, I am hopeful for today
And don't nobody in my family see six feet, ya dig
Sit at the light so long
And bullets could reverse so Pac and Biggie breath again, shit
Wish I could teach a soul to fly
I wish that you could show some love
And lift the spirits of the world with the words with in this song and I
And I hope all the kids eat
And be hopeful, hopeful and He'll make a way
Hustle hard, so the kids maintain up in the game, let's hope
And in the famous words of Mr King, "Why can't we all just get along"
Hope we find a better way to cop a keys and I
And be hopeful, hopeful and He'll make a way
And ask way are we fulfillin' these downfalls and prophecies
Wish I could give every celly some commissary
Wish my homies wouldn't have to suffer
And we gotta pray, all we got is faith
So when right go wrong
We will never break, though they devastate, we shall motivate
Wish God could protect us from the wrong
And the po po bring the heat on them priest like they did R Kelly and I
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
We can make it always so optimistic
When the streets get the upper hand on us and we lose a brother and I
Wish it was all good so the country never even went to war
Or that we would just come up on some stacks and hit a lick and I
Wish that my grandmother wasn't sick
Take this music and use it, let it take you away
Then one day they could speak again
So I won't have to travel 6 hours to see him in jail and I
Just let it go and keep prayin' on your knees in church and let's hope
And only the heavenly father and ease the hurt
And be hopeful, hopeful and He'll make a way
Or we can find a better way to shop and please and I
Though I'm hopeful, yes, I am hopeful for today
I wish I could teach the world to sing
Instead of hatin' so much when you see some other people comin' up
I try to spread my message to the world the best way I can give it
See the vision of the world through the eyes of Stevie Wonder, you feel me
Brand new shack and a lack that's on dubs and I
Why can't we kick it and just get em on
Take this music and use it, let it take you away
Wish that DOC could scream again
You can make it whether you wit' him or your man's gone and I
Wish the families that lack, but got love, get some stacks
I know it ain't easy but that's okay, 'cause we hopeful
Wish my hommie Butch was still alive
I wish that we could never get the blues
And be hopeful, hopeful and He'll make a way
Wish we could keep achieving wonders
Take this music and use it, let it take you away
I wish that we only saw good news every time we look at CNN
If you don't listen gotta live my life the best way I can live it
Take away the pain out cha hands and help you hold them high and I
