Hope

Hope that I'm counting this money, I dive in it deep
Hope that my spirit don't travel too far in a dream
And I die in my sleep
Hope that the Lord give me peace
From the creeps and the weirdos
And all of the freakiness?
Yeah, bet I steer those away like vaqueros
The GDN. with crown in my seat
The water, I dive in it deep
Let a nigga speak
Hope will make a nigga die in heat
Same breath, let a nigga find peace
Blessings for the hope inside
Even in the dry seasons
Let it be the bitch who would sit beside me
Saving my seat
High-five that vibe for no reason
Cus most times a nigga be grieving
Pop for my demons whenever I see em
SK be the set and The GDN. my legion
Hope my people see em
Hope is what they put inside me
See at night, let a nigga find peace
Live a better life for the people 'yond and around me
Cus the lost ones, they reside deep
Crown in my seat
"Can't reach for the sun in the shade"
Man I swear that this shit be too crazy
I pick up the plates and I ate em
To Trent and to Kayla
The entree is coming, be patient
I'm praying, I'm waiting

Keep drumming
Even when theres no cash in your bucket
Uh-huh
Keep running
702, 6 months it's summer
Uh-huh
It's coming
Take a deep breath just like it's hunting
It's coming
Uh-huh
It's coming
Uh-huh
Keep drumming
Even when theres no cash in your bucket
Uh-huh
Keep running
702, 6 months it's summer
Uh-huh
It's coming
Take a deep breath just like it's hunting
It's coming
Uh-huh
It's coming
Uh-huh

Now, at last
The masks had fallen away
The strings of the puppets had become visible
And the hands of the prime mover, exposed
Most ironic of all
Was the last gift that Raziel had given me
More powerful than the sword
That now held his soul
More acute even
Than the vision, his sacrifice had accorded me
The first bitter taste of that terrible illusion: Hope
