Call Me Ace - Hope lyrics

{verse 1} Nowadays it hurts more when i leave you Cause next time ain’t promised Feelin’ paranoid if i’m honest I know yo i know god got it Just don’t want him take it too In this room wondering why i ain’t made this move To come back home Spend time with my niece ‘fore she get more grown And make new memories instead of rewinding the times In my mind that we had in the past I’m reminded of why i should never look back When i do i feel stuck like i can’t move forward Just wanna give up all my breaths gettin’ shorter Bathtub runnin’ while i’m feelin’ underwater I’m just tryna wash my body as my mind brainstormin’ Inside gotta prioritize what’s important But i’ma sleep it off ‘til the mornin’ Don’t wanna lose hope {chorus 1} Nah i ain't tryna lose hope I know the world’s gettin’ darker don’t wanna lose hope They said high grade you gotta have hope {verse 2} I wonder if the tears in my heart are the same tears now I could picture down your eyes I remember pickin’ up the phone in the back hearin’ “no daddy why!” Had to see her mother brutalized He used to call me bro, to find out he a wolf in disguise Another big fool with a pride Beatin’ up my sister, pick on someone ya own size Almost had me go and backslide Almost flew out from the bay slidin’ down the corner Rollin’ with my bloody cuzzos all just for the freedom you deserve Tired all these people around you stealin’ your worth I’d rather their face than yours be in the dirt Lord knows i try to stay strong but it hurt I’m prayin’ hard for you and i’m prayin’ that it work I’m workin’ hard for you just to get back a return And get back and return Without you worrying about what i get back in return I’ll use all my reserves on you to keep you preserved Money drains just to resurge that’s what i learned I’d rather burn it all on you than burn a urn I know your value is way more than you earn Way more than you seem to find in your research I know the lord’s good you’ll find after you search You tryna follow my lead but how could i be first? When i’m ‘bout to lose hope {chorus 2} Yea, yea i’m ‘bouta lose hope I know the world’s gettin’ darker I don’t wanna lose hope Nah, they say you gotta have hope Yo they say you high grade you gotta have hope Don’t know tonight but i don’t have hope I pray in the morning i’ma have hope Cause when i look outside i ain’t see hope But i gotta have hope
