high hopes

Beneath the view of the skyline glaring
Breaking news from back home scares me
You not even safe in your ride
Wonder will I come out alive?

Yeah, I go where the light goes (the light)
But expect to see me pop out at the night show
Always been an optimist so I stay having high hopes
High hopes, high, high hopes
I go where the light goes
Ayy, ayy (Ayy!)
But expect to see me pop out at the night show
Always been an optimist so I stay having high hopes (Ah)
High hopes, high, high hopes (Ah)

Happy and high (Hello)
Guess that's how I'm supposed to be
Only in close quarters with those I choose to stay close to me
Project Y.O.U.T.H., you know we be (we BE)
Making waves up on the streets
Rinse, repeat, we stay elite, triple threat recording me
A double trouble's listening
Single out the growth in me (in ME)
Zero out the pack and breathe
I speak on what you think & please (Please)
Don't tell me what to do, everybody got a process
How you think I'm making progress?
Can't treat money like an object
Because that brings you power, I could also use some status
Was never scared to shine bright, Aurora Borealis
I'm a victor, need a chalice, won't be long 'till I got the palace
Navigate through life, no atlas, whatever's meant to be will happen
I've matured & I've felt happiness
Truly realized what rapping is
Could be my calling, have to see
When I fill out my gallery
Since I'm heard, that's proof I got something that's worth saying
To convert the words to payment
Headed to the bank, I'ma make a statement
I'd rather stay in the booth then listen to y'all talk
Opinions don't bother me at all, I know i'm raw (for real!)
Just give me credit where it's due, this ain't nothing new
So many claim the throne, just tell 'em to make some room
I seen that red tape, up on 75th & Yates
Wasn't for me, thank God Mama never let me cross gates
You let envy control you it's a different entity
Better not ask for handouts, my phone stay on DND (DND)
I been really holding strong
I'm refining all my songs
I been righting all my wrongs
Now a nigga acting grown
I still got some shit to learn
Time is moving faster & I wish it was on slow burn
Act right 'till I'm in that urn
Vault needs to be bigger, something's wrong with my motor
Locking in for the Weeknd that money is the motive
When the shit gets rocky, hit it with the Hidden lotus
I'm talking on the topics, you can't question that I wrote it, oop!

I go where the light goes
But expect to see me pop out at the night show
Always been an optimist so I stay having high hopes
High hopes, high, high hopes
I go where the light goes
Ayy, ayy (Ayy!)
But expect to see me pop out at the night show
Always been an optimist so I stay having high hopes
High hopes, high, high hopes
