Hope
I'm on my way I'm comin'
Don't don't lose faith in me
I know you've been waitin'
Know you've been prayin' for my soul
Hope hope
Thirty years you been draggin' your feet
Tellin' me I'm the reason we're stagnant
Thirty years you've been claimin' you're honest and promisin' progress
But where's it at
I don't want you to feel like a failure
I know this hurts
But I gave you your chance to deliver
Now it's my turn
Don't get me wrong Nate you've had a great run
But it's time to give the people somethin' different
So without further ado I'd like to introduce my
My album my album my album my album
My album my album my album
HOPE
What's my definition of success
Listening to what your heart says
Standing up for what you know is
Right while everybody else is
Tucking their tail between their legs
Okay
What's my definition of success
Success
Creating something no one else can
Bein' brave enough to dream big
Grindin' when you're told to just quit
Givin' more when you got nothin' left
It's a person that'll take a chance on
Somethin' they were told could never happen
It's a person that can see the bright side
Through the dark times when there ain't one
It'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 cut
It's a person that would never waiver
Or change who they are
Just to try to and gain some credibility
So they could feel accepted by a stranger
It's a person that can take the failures in their life
And turn them into motivation
It'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 you
Why would you think or expect anybody else that's around you to
I done did things that I regret
I done said things I can't take back
Was a lost soul at a cross road who had no hope
But I changed that
I spent years of my life holdin' on to things I never should've kept
Full of hatred
Years of my life carryin' a lot of baggage
That I should've walked away from
Years of my life wishin' I was someone different
Lookin' for some validation
Years of my life tryna fill the void pretending I was in
They get it
Growing pain's a necessary evil
Difficult to go through yes but beneficial
Some would say having a mental breakdown is a negative thing
Which on one hand I agree with
On the other hand it was the push I needed
To get help and start the healing process see
If I'd have never hit rock bottom
Would I be the person that I am today
I don't believe so
I'm a prime example of what happens when you
Choose to not accept defeat and face your demons
Took me thirty years to realize that if you
Wanna get the opportunity to be the greatest version of yourself
Sometimes you got to be someone you're not
To hear the voice of reason
Having kids will make you really take a step back
And look in the mirror
At least for me that's what it did I
Wake up every day and pick my son up
Hold him in my arms and 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 goin' to have to worry 'bout
Don't get it twisted that wasn't a shot
Mama I forgive you
I just don't want him to grow up thinkin' that he'll never be enough
Thirty years of running thirty years of searching
Thirty years of hurting thirty years of pain
Thirty years of fearful thirty years of anger
Thirty years of empty thirty years of shame
Thirty years of broken thirty years of anguish
Thirty years of hopeless thirty years of
Hey
Thirty years of never thirty years of maybe
Thirty years of later thirty years of fake
Thirty years of hollow thirty years of sorrow
Thirty years of darkness thirty years of
Nate
Thirty years of baggage thirty years of sadness
Thirty years of stagnant thirty years of chains
Thirty years of anxious thirty years of suffering
Thirty years of torment thirty years of
Wait
Thirty years of bitter thirty years of lonely
Thirty 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 afraid
I'm the one in charge
I'm taking the
No
I'm taking the
