Hope
I'm on my way, I'min'
Don't
Don't lose faith in me
I know you've been waiting
I know you've been prayin' for my soul
Hope
Hope
Thirty years you been draggin' your
feet, tellin' me I'm the reason
we're stagnant
Thirty years you've been claiming you're
honest and promising progress,
well, where's it at?
I don't want you to feel
like a failure
I know this hurts
But I gave you your
chance to deliver
Now it's my turn
Don't get me wrong
Nate, you've had a great run
But it's time to
Give the people
somethin' different
So without furthеr ado, I'd
Like to introduce my
My album My album
My album My album, my album
My album My album, my album
My album, my album My album
My album—
HOPE
What's my definition
of succеss? Of success
Listening to what your
heart says Your heart says
Standing up for what you know is Is
Right, while everybody else is Is
Tucking their tail between
their legs Okay
What's my definition of success?
Of success
Creating something no one else can
Else can
Being brave enough to dream big Big
Grinding when you're told to just quit Quit
Giving more when you got nothing left Left
It's a person that'll take a chance on
Something they were told could never happen
It's a person that can see the bright side
Through the dark times when there ain't one
It's when someone who ain't never had nothin'
More profit 'cause they'd rather do somethin'
That they really love and take the pay cut
It's a person that would never waver
Or change who they are
Just to try to and gain some credibility
So they could feel accepted by a stranger
It's a person that can take the failures
in their life and turn them into motivation
It's believing in yourself when no one
else does, it's amazin'
What a little bit of faith can
do if you don't even believe in you
Why would you think or expect
anybody else that's around you to?
I done did things that I regret,
I done said things I can't take back
Was a lost soul at a crossroad
who had no hope, but I changed that
I spent years of my life holdin'
on to things I never should've
kept, full of hatred
Years of my life carryin' a lot of
baggage that I should've walked away from
Years of my life wishin'
I was someone different,
lookin' for some validation
Years of my life tryna fill the void,
pretending I was in—
They get it
Growing pain's a necessary evil
Difficult to go through, yes, but beneficial
Some would say having a mental
breakdown is a negative thing
Which on one hand, I agree with
On the other hand, it was the push I needed
To get help and start the healing process, see
If I'd have never hit rock bottom
Would I be the person that I am today?
I don't believe so
I'm a prime example of what happens
when you choose to not accept defeat
and face your demons
Took me thirty years to realize that
if you wanna get that opportunity
To be the greatest version of yourself,
sometimes you got to be someone you're not
To hear the voice of reason
Having kids will make you really take
a step back and look in the mirror
Wake up every day and pick my son up
Hold him in my arms and let
him know he's loved Loved
Standing by the window,
questioning if dad is ever
going to show up Up
Isn't something he's goin' to have to worry 'bout
Don't get it twisted, that wasn't a shot
Mama, I forgive you
I just don't want him to grow
up thinkin' that he'll never be enough
Thirty years of running, thirty years of searchin'
Thirty years of hurting, thirty years of pain
Thirty years of fearful, thirty years of anger
Thirty years of empty, thirty years of shame
Thirty years of broken, thirty years of anguish
Thirty years of hopeless, thirty years of Hey
Thirty years of never, thirty years of maybe
Thirty years of later, thirty years of fake
Thirty years of hollow, thirty years of sorrow
Thirty years of darkness, thirty years of Nate
Thirty years of baggage, thirty years of sadness
Thirty years of stagnant, thirty years of chains
Thirty years of anxious, thirty years of suffering
Thirty years of torment, thirty years of Wait
Thirty years of bitter, thirty years of lonely
Thirty years of pushing everyone away 'Way
You'll never evolve I know I can change
We are not enough We are not the same
You don't have the heart You don't have the strength
You don't have the will You don't have the faith
You'll never be loved, you'll never be safe
Might as well give up Not running away
You don't have the guts You're the one afraid
I'm the one in charge I'm taking the— No
I'm taking the
Reins
