Lil Phil (k**az) - Hope lyrics

[Verse 1] Snapback and chain on and I'm ready to go I've practiced lots of times for this, that's something I'll show I won't screw up, I know I can do this But I'ma go one time, not in for a remix Everyone's gonna see me, I know their gonna like it I'm not backing out of it, I'm not gonna quit Hate me or love me, that's the risk I'mma take Cuz I'mma show my true self, cuz I'm not a fake I want people to like me for who I am, not just for my raps I‘m a young guy who might be safe to stay outta traps Anything can happen, what goes around comes around And whatever it is, I'll always be proud Cuz I'll still be livin a great life, with family, fans and friends I hope it goes forever and I hope it'll never end I know sometimes life can always get mean and rough But I guess it's just our way to show some tough love [Hook] I remembered when I was down, and thought I couldn't do it But I was helped to a special place, rap lead me to it It's time for me show what I'm about, so then everyone will know Cuz someday I'll make it, that's my biggest hope [Verse 2] I remember back in 2009, I was just chillin' with my guitar Used to do my thing, at school, my room, clubs, cars But instead I started to rap, and realized I'm pretty good at it People started to listenin' to me, then became Lil Phil addicts I live a very weird life, but I love it somehow I remember when I dreamed of it, but look at me now Partially livin' my dream, rapping on da mic I successfully made songs, doin' raps everybody likes Then I got hataz, but I never cared and still got my fate But I stood up and like John Cena, I Rise Above Hate Although I didn't get a deal, I still rap in stages People cheer me, too bad for people holdin' up their rage Even the school I went to, I can't believe I used to respect it For years, it's the place I liked, but now it's not what I expect Now everything's gettin' stupid, but things used to be dope Be great if it was what it used be, that's one of my hopes [Hook] [Verse 3] I'm just on FL Studio, tryna make beats Collabing with all these other rappers, or just featuring Them so then we can be more known, that's our mission But we all work together, no1's ditching I go on tryna make projects, already got one complete And another on the way, call it music deeds At hopeless times, I say Insha Allah, and it helps me gets thru it They say “how do I get what's coming?” and that's how I prove it Am I a religious person, my answer's yes Just like what FS said, I'm not lucky, I'm just blessed I love what I do, and it's something I'll always do Cuz I'm attached to it, together we're glued Along with that, at this point, living pretty harshly Cuz I'm living my normal life partially I'm just standing with the mic, tellin' everybody what I deal with Cuz I'm an honest rapper, so in the future, don't take me as a myth Tryna make the best outta of me, so everybody chill Don't get offended, just stick wit' tha will [Hook] [Verse 4] Just chillin' with my man Pac Mak, tryna be the best in town But the chances of us rappin' together are going down Although we collabed on a few tracks, it's only a few Hopefully collab more when we have less work to do Mazin, Mujtaba, all of k**az Records We should all get together, and rap instead of sayin' words By saying words, I mean talking trash, instead of what's real Talking about hittin' J's, but I was rappin' bout deals Insha'Allah, I can clear things off my mind And listening to my projects, just rewinding I stay dreamin' about these lifestyles, but I keep trying But it's fun at the same time, I ain't lying I do my music for myself, and if the fans like it Hataz tryna be like me, I said go ahead and try it People talkin trash in school, some are true I just walk away, and respect the truth I make lots of mistakes, but that's everybody's illness I learn from them and I pray to Allah for forgiveness That's another hope, also tryna collab with many artists Just like Muhammad Ali, I am the greatest but not the smartest Tellin' everybody about my lifestyle, nothin' wrong about it Even my beliefs, cuz the 2012 phenomenon is my highest doubt Started from a untalented guitarist, to the new definition of dope Cuz one day I'll be the best, and that's my hope
