Nf Hope Song Lyrics by NF
HopeYeah, I’m on my way, I’m comingDon’t, don’t lose faith in meI know you’ve been waitin’I know you’ve been prayin’ for my soulHope, hope
Thirty years you been draggin’ your feetTellin’ me I’m the reason we’re stagnantThirty years you’ve been claiming you’re honestAnd promising progress, well, where’s it at?I don’t want you to feel like a failure (failure)I know this hurtsBut I gave you your chance to deliver (deliver)Now it’s my turnDon’t get me wrong, Nate, you’ve had a great runBut it’s time to give the people somethin’ differentSo without further ado, I’dLike to introduce my(My album, my album, my album, my album, my album, my album, my album)HopeWhat’s my definition of success? (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)Grindin’ when you’re told to just quit (quit)Giving more when you got nothin’ left (left)It’s a person that’ll take a chance onSomething they were told could never happenIt’s a person that can see the bright side through the dark times when there ain’t oneIt’s when someone who ain’t never had nothin’Ain’t afraid to walk away from more profit‘Cause they’d rather do somethin’ that they really love and take the pay cutIt’s a person that would never waverOr change who they areJust to try and gain some credibilitySo they could feel accepted by a strangerIt’s a person that can take the failures in their life and turn them into motivationIt’s believing in yourself when no one else does, it’s amazing
What a little bit of faith can do if you don’t even believe in youWhy would you think or expect anybody else that’s around you to?I done did things that I regretI done said things I can’t take backWas a lost soul at a crossroad who had no hope but I changed thatI spent years of my life holdin’ on to things I never should’ve kept, full of hatredYears of my life carryin’ a lot of baggage that I should’ve walked away fromYears of my life wishin’ I was someone different, lookin’ for some validationYears of my life tryna fill the void, pretending I was inThey get it
Growing pain’s a necessary evilDifficult to go through, yes, but beneficialSome would say having a mental breakdown is a negative thingWhich on one hand, I agree withOn the other hand, it was the push I neededTo get help and start the healing process, seeIf I’d have never hit rock bottomWould I be the person that I am today?I don’t believe soI’m a prime example of what happens when you choose to not accept defeat and face your demonsTook me thirty years to realize that if you want to get the opportunityTo be the greatest version of yourselfSometimes you got to be someone you’re not to hear the voice of reasonHaving kids will make you really take a step back and look in the mirrorAt least for me that’s what it did, I
Wake up every day and pick my son up, hold him in my armsAnd 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 gon’ have to worry aboutDon’t get it twisted, that wasn’t a shotMama, I forgive youI just don’t want him to grow up thinkin’ that he’ll never be enoughThirty years of running, thirty years of searchingThirty years of hurting, thirty years of painThirty years of fearful, thirty years of angerThirty years of empty, thirty years of shameThirty years of broken, thirty years of anguishThirty years of hopeless, thirty years of (hey)Thirty years of never, thirty years of maybeThirty years of later, thirty years of fakeThirty years of hollow, thirty years of sorrowThirty years of darkness, thirty years of (Nate)Thirty years of baggage, thirty years of sadnessThirty years of stagnant, thirty years of chainsThirty years of anxious, thirty years of sufferingThirty years of torment, thirty years of (wait)Thirty years of bitter, thirty years of lonelyThirty years of pushing everyone away(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 afraidI’m the one in chargeI’m taking the (no)I’m taking theReigns
