Hope (DJ Mitsu Remix) - Pete Philly[00:00:00]
Sometimes my hope slips away[00:00:21]
I go through the day[00:00:22]
Without a way to see passed the decay[00:00:24]
To say a better day is coming got me running my mind[00:00:25]
Wondering if I'm cunning enough to find[00:00:28]
A new pattern of though designed[00:00:30]
So I can deal with this land of concrete[00:00:31]
Cause them facts are I'll yo we're facing defeat from the trees to the[00:00:34]
Sees to the seeds of the ghetto[00:00:37]
The fleas on the dogs back have already settled in[00:00:39]
Won't allow no meddeling cause they shoot[00:00:42]
Do anything for the loot[00:00:45]
Wicked politicians making wicked decisions[00:00:47]
Straight lying to the public so they can begin another mission of war[00:00:49]
Man eyes are sore[00:00:52]
Shit's hardcore[00:00:53]
We can all make a change what we waiting for[00:00:54]
There's a million other people who feel like I feel[00:00:57]
Too many cats are ending up with the raw deal for real[00:01:00]
But I read a boek take a look[00:01:02]
Put it all in perspective ignore the crooks[00:01:05]
Who be rocking their politricks while running for president[00:01:07]
If we want their asses kicked then let's set a precedent[00:01:11]
See it's not you versus me[00:01:13]
But it's you and me versus the war-industry[00:01:16]
If you're asking me what it is that we can do[00:01:18]
Agaist idiots like G W it's follow through[00:01:20]
It's what makes you cope[00:01:23]
It's what makes you grow[00:01:25]
It's what makes you go against the grain[00:01:26]
When they tell you no[00:01:28]
But you've got to show[00:01:30]
Your friends and foes it's time for change[00:01:31]
It's what makes you cope[00:01:34]
It's what makes you grow[00:01:35]
It's whats makes you go against the grain[00:01:37]
But they can't tell you no[00:01:39]
Because now you know the healing when you get hope[00:01:41]
I'm holding on like someone pushed me over the edge[00:01:44]
So sometimes when I rhyme it just go overyour head[00:01:47]
I try to bring it down to earth wothout sounding berserk[00:01:49]
It's for the people high and mighty and them down in the dirt[00:01:52]
Put it work like I'm nickle and diming[00:01:54]
Standing on the corner religious like a shaman I aint thicking with[00:01:58]
The punchlines while they tickle your spine[00:02:00]
They picket the line[00:02:01]
And I'll never font for you you aint getting consigment[00:02:03]
People hope to get signed but to they suprise[00:02:04]
The industry falling down right infront of they eye[00:02:07]
On my block brothers don't live brothers survive[00:02:10]
Mothers pray through the night and hope they son is alive[00:02:13]
Check the stoop then the corner then he hospital[00:02:16]
The citymorgue matter of fact shit[00:02:18]
I got to go[00:02:20]
To my son's school[00:02:21]
Where they call me brother Kweli[00:02:22]
No time for crying[00:02:24]
Waiting and hoping like Buddy Holy[00:02:24]
It's what makes you cope[00:02:26]
It's what makes you grow[00:02:27]
It's what makes you go against the grain[00:02:29]
When they tell you no[00:02:31]
But you've got to show[00:02:32]
Your friends and foes it's time for change[00:02:34]
It's what makes you cope[00:02:36]
It's what makes you grow[00:02:38]
It's whats makes you go against the grain[00:02:39]
But they can't tell you no[00:02:41]
Because now you know the healing when you get hope[00:02:43]
I'm hoping for better days and better ways to express[00:02:47]
I'm hoping for spiritual growth and some mental progress[00:02:49]
Hoping I'll won't be choking when it's time to take the test of the time[00:02:52]
As I'm standing in the limelight and rhyme[00:02:55]
Will I shine will I be remembered as a person who took the time and[00:02:57]
Opportunity to find the goodness of his own kind[00:03:00]
The kindness of this mankind[00:03:03]
The kind that makes the cynic in me just relax and unwind[00:03:04]
It's the state of mind you can find me in[00:03:06]
When I'm kicking back and I'm chilling[00:03:09]
Lookin at playing childeren impressive buildings[00:03:10]
And I'm thinking that we more that the money hungry idiots[00:03:12]
Mass-marketing cats claim we be[00:03:15]
Man they can't get whit us it's the fuss of living[00:03:17]
Looking for a balance between taking an giving and making a living[00:03:20]
Whitout making a pre-emptive killing shit has go to stop[00:03:23]
I hope we'll find the revolution back in hiphop[00:03:26]
Back in hiphop[00:03:28]
Back in hiphop[00:03:29]
Back in hiphop[00:03:30]
Back in hiphop[00:03:32]

It's what makes you cope[00:03:50]
It's what makes you grow[00:03:51]
It's what makes you go against the grain[00:03:52]
When they tell you no[00:03:54]
But you've got to show[00:03:56]
Your friends and foes it's time for change[00:03:57]
It's what makes you cope[00:04:00]
It's what makes you grow[00:04:01]
It's whats makes you go against the grain[00:04:03]
