Don't Lose Hope (One for Ma)

I know you don't know me let's chat for a min
Plaque or a benz, got a story sent back for a sin(ner)
They want me to regulate do rap for a trend
As if that ol' dance'll even help, trap us in a trap for our end
Au contrary, not in the word to live scurred
Scarred maybe, unprepared, if you hear me, not unawares
Sold a soul for a couple pair
Looked inside yourself, wasn't nothing there
Why my soldiers unbecome to err, saw the mountain I just come to
Share my piece in a song, I know being weak isn't wrong
I know 'bout leash in the dome
That'd be such a sour note to finish on
How I'm scared to be myself when I'm alone
How I'm quick to beat myself when I be on sin and
Foolishness that don't belong, knowing Holy Spirit be my only calm
Water running deep, All this love and peace
Keep on loving me, gave his son for me
So to him I sing, all these heavenly melodies
'Gardless what you tellin' me
Though a Holy Land be warring, Tel Aviv
Done with squandering my life, c'est la vie
When that favor on him they like "Let him preach"
Got me feeling like a Beatle, peace let me let it be

I know life hurt, that's how God work sometimes
You'll be just fine, keep that in mind
So I don't lose hope, so you don't lose hope
So we don't lose hope, no we don't lose hope
His light he sent, by his life I'm free
When I've no strength, he fight for me
So I don't lose hope, so you don't lose hope
So we don't lose hope, no we don't lose hope

I know you don't know me let's chat for a min
Plaque or a benz, got a story sent back for a sin
Rather me quiet in the back, writing in my lap
If I don't speak, how the fire gonna latch to your soul
Knowing good and well it's wired to relapse?
Really do be lacking honestly monolog-ing in a mirror
When it's supposed to be a dialogue (Facts)
But when it's all whack, we tend to fall back
I heard a call, thought I was all that
But then I got humbled like Jonah in the belly of the whale
Knew I was living hell when the goal was heaven
Had to get out of head and stay in present
Gotta go in again to save my brethren
Got things that I did in the past I don't feel like talking 'bout really
Maybe that's so cheap, til' I cash in on a milly
Get fresh like a dude from philly
They sell soul yet past due to billing
Reavealing
Easily looking to other gods for healing
But nothing beats the indwelling and infilling
Look to see what kinda practice they instilling
How do they act taken aback when they sin killing?
Where truth simply a message they ain't feeling
In a world they wanna die, unready but willing
But I'll go wherever that God send me
Keep to believing until I reach that great ending
I know now great power from great tempting
But I'm full of peace thanks to Jesus' strengthening

I know life hurt, that's how God work sometimes
You'll be just fine, keep that in mind
So I don't lose hope, so you don't lose hope
So we don't lose hope, no we don't lose hope
His light he sent, by his life I'm free
When I've no strength, he fight for me
So I don't lose hope, so you don't lose hope
So we don't lose hope, no we don't lose hope
