J. Reed - The Last Hope lyrics

[Hook] I gotta make it out and move quickly Can't allow the past to restrict me Bet this time around they won't skip me I am the last hope Don't hesitate, not even for a second The hustle has become an obsession I'm on the front line with my weapon I am the last hope [Verse 1] I know that I'm blessed, still I spent a lot of moments depressed So I try to prepare for the worst and hope for the best Copping with stress can bring a n***a closer to d**h When you feel like you're all alone and got nobody left Ain't holding my breath, been at it for years and nothing panned out Shed so many tears I think I ran out Gave grams out while you were holding your hand out And never tried to fit in, I'd rather stand out So thru it all I crawled and never let it show Back against the wall but I excel under pressure though Wanna see me fall, they say I'm up on a pedestal I'm no different than y'all, my cousins are still selling dope And my momma's still going thru it And my auntie's sick and showing no improvement And I'm just tryna hold it together Cause when it rains it pours, no controlling the weather Hope you n***as own an umbrella [Hook] I gotta make it out and move quickly Can't allow the past to restrict me Bet this time around they won't skip me I am the last hope Don't hesitate, not even for a second The hustle has become an obsession I'm on the front line with my weapon I am the last hope [Verse 2] I just wanna be remembered when I'm dead and gone Never regret or yawned, and k**ed every single song I was ever on Fairly calm but physically I ain't very strong So if it's on eventually I'll be baring arms I'm willing to k** 'em if I ain't got a choice And I'm spittin' for n***as who ain't got a voice Or any kind of hope, so tell 'em how to cope When we're in a recession and everybody's broke Got the weight of the world on my shoulders Smelling the Folgers but I'm composed like a soldier Whippin' the Cola to get the Porsche or the Rover Flippin' them boulders, stay on course 'til it's over Up in the kitchen with some ice in a bowl The white on the stove, 'bout to put a price on my soul Cause when living costs more than the price that it's owed I'm willing to do whatever just to lighten the load Never spend a night in the cold [Hook] I gotta make it out and move quickly Can't allow the past to restrict me Bet this time around they won't skip me I am the last hope Don't hesitate, not even for a second The hustle has become an obsession I'm on the front line with my weapon I am the last hope
