TCP - Hope Lyrics

It's been a long night
These thoughts on my mind
To many worries
To much stress
All of the time

Not enough ounces
To keep up the vibe
Yeah, I try to survive
But I can't seem to find
A sign

Telling me to unwind
Boy you've been on that grind
Tryna refine man-kind
With every line

That I rhyme
That I write
Tryna give my insight
Tryna be that one guy
That made a change in your life

And I tell you thats not easy to do
Yeah, humans are the hardest to get through
You can say anything
Any way, any day
And they don't care
If they wanted to

That's true
That's fact
As a poet I don't like that
I'm open with all my raps
And I try real hard to make an impact

While being abstract with how I spit
I gatta pack truth up in this shit
Along with all of these flows I switch
Then invest my soul to make it fit

But you only say, that my kicks don't hit
Then dare to phrase, that i'm not legit
And everyday, you tell me to go quit
It's crazy they cant understand logic
Damn

What a shame
The difference between two brains
The fact that we're all the same
Yet still unique in every way

With how we think, to how we speak
From all of the memories we keep
To anything that we choose to seek
To the nightmares within our dreams

Then you look at that, and your asking why
I can't get a deal let alone an eye
Am I waisting time
Or just loosing sight
Like an airplane that will never fly

I sigh, get high
Cause I can't really walk that line
Cause I can't just sit on by
While everyone waits for me to arise

Cause you can't have pie without the crust
I'm cooking these rhymes to serve for lunch

Is it to much, to trust
You'll give a thumbs up
Or will you end up
Just not giving a f*ck

And so i'm giving it up
I'm not putting it out
It's the same damn shit
That i'm worried about
Got me up all night
Just thinking about
All the millions of people
I could probably help
No doubt

And I really wanna walk this route
Keeping it real is all I feel
Or so I found that out
Through the years of fears
That I fought within myself

Within my self
I try to explain
What I say, what I mean
So everyone sees
That they can achieve
What it means to be free
And start to believe
That they can live happily
Without being beat
By insecurities
And anxiety
Deep down that tears you apart
Leaving you in the dark
With a sharp knife, combined
With a long night
To test your might
To fall or fly
To spit the fire or drop the mic
To stay inside or risk your life
To share the light or fall straight through the gate
You decide

And so do I
That's why I won't comply
You know we never die
We all get high and multiply
So I

Keep on the hustle the struggle is real
Put in that work and then hope for a deal
Will I appeal to everyones ears
Or will I go flat like poppin a wheel

Your skill is nothing more that just a lie
We've heard about your life a million times
You're doing fine while i'm just getting by
With barely just enough to stay alive

Survive with lunches coming in a bag
I start to realize the friends I have
I chose to turn my back on all the bad
And now i'm living, waiting for a stab

I can be who I want to be
A legend in the works, young prodigy
And possibly your top 3 in the next 5 years
If you ever wanna roll with me

So pause and hold
This life is all we know
Just working, staying broke
An artist tryna find some hope
You know

You know
Just tryna find some hope, you know
Just another artist broke, woah
I'm just tryna find hope
