Prince Ivan - High Hopes Lyrics

Thank you
To all the haters said I couldn't do it
Thank you
To my ride or dies who always knew it
Thank you
To my God above who blessed me through it
This one's for you

Put your hands up high
If you got a dream
I know sometimes
It be hard to see
Keep your head up high
You'll do anything
With your high hopes, high hopes
To all my stressed out mommas
That be losin' sleep
To all my two job homies
Makin' ends meet
We gon keep on grindin'
Be da ones to beat
We got high hopes, high hopes

I'm not a rapper, I just like to talk
I'm not a dancer, but I Milly Rock, Milly Rock
I never said I wasn't gonna change, nah!
Ya think I'm crazy, Nah, I'm insane
We never stop
Punching in around the clock
Started from the bedrock
Cuttin' in the chop shop
Never knew I had a dream
Till I got with Dr. King
Told me love will set you free
Lord, help me to believe
Uh!
I'm working 40, that's my first job
20 on my second
Mowing lawns so we can pay the rent
It don't faze me
I signed up for this, made for this, game for this
Shameless cuz I'm fighting for my future
Now let me say this
There ain't nobody in the world that can stop me
There ain't nobody that can stall me, halt me
Cause everybody wanna ball me, claw me
But negativity ain't in my vocabulary
Nah!
They tryna take me to the bottom
But I been there
Only going up from here
So I gotta say

Thank you
To all the haters that said I couldn't do it
Thank you
To all my ride or dies that always knew it
Thank you
To my God above who blessed me through it
This one's for you

Put your hands up high
If you got a dream
I know sometimes
It be hard to see
Keep your head up high
You'll do anything
With your high hopes, high hopes
To all my stressed out mommas
That be losin' sleep
To all my two job homies
Makin' ends meet
We gon keep on grindin'
Be da ones to beat
We got high hopes, high hopes

I'm climbin' climbin' like I'm Moses on Mount Sinai
I'm flyin' flyin' on them airwave like Verizon
I'm prayin' prayin' I've been Neilin' like I'm Diamond
And now I'm praisin' 'cause I got my God assignment
Got that blueprint, that vision
That download, that mission
I'm signin' up, enlisting
On the hunt, we fishin'
In high definition
We'll be on your television
Yeah you know we be playlistin'
On your Spotify subscription, yah
Haters say we should quit, but they can't stop us
'Cause we from 76, we trust the process
We probably only halfway up yeah, up yeah
But we gon' make it to the top I know that
Check to check, grind to grind
Off the bench, now's the time
Pen to pad, bring the light
Change the game, heal the blind
We do it for the culture, do it for the people
Yeah, we do it for the future, til we all be equal
Let's go!

You can't stop us now
You can't stop us now
You can't stop us now
You can't stop us, You can't stop
You can't stop us now (For all the times they told you you couldn't do it)
You can't stop us now (For all the people that told you no)
You can't stop us now (That you was gonna be a failure)
You can't stop us, You can't stop
(I want you to put your hands to the sky and sing this out, sing!)

High hopes, high hopes
Give me high hopes
High hopes, high hopes
Give me high hopes
High hopes, high hopes
Give me high hopes
High hopes, high hopes

Put your hands up high
If you got a dream
I know sometimes
It be hard to see
Keep your head up high
You'll do anything
With your high hopes, high hopes
To all my stressed out mommas
That be losin' sleep
To all my two job homies
Makin' ends meet
We gon keep on grindin'
Be da ones to beat
We got high hopes, high hopes
