No Hope

Ain't no hope left where I'm from
Only darkness every day
(Every day, every day, every day oh oh)
Ain't no hope left where I'm from
How the hell we 'posed to roam yeah
When the pain is here to stay hey yeah
Wonder how there is no hope yeah
Wonder if I'm gonna cave
Ain't no hope left where I'm from
Lord just get us through this storm
Or you'll be the one I blame, blame

Pessimistic
Always saying shit like I bet it isn't
It's too good to be true
There's no way it could be this simplistic
Got my heart on my sleeve
God had a trick up his
When he lent his hand out
Like shit will pan out
And even in doubt
The optimist down
Somewhere inside of me gets excited dreams
Turning bright to bleak getting let downs
A favorite past time
It's hard to keep enduring the heat
My body isn't made of cast-iron
In fact I'm having a meltdown
I might as well now
Shit I'm hell bound
Similar to the tears of a pale clown
I stare down crowds like I'm a-ok
But b m e
I c d-mons p-eople
Saying he's a genius facetiously
That's what I thought thought I heard them say
My thoughts walk at a turtle's pace
That's my mind my personal space
But outside is much worse
The worlds unsafe
Poetic daydreaming what do you want real life here
I don't read the mail I tear
I swear american express
Don't rest
If I had 50 thous' somewhere I hid I'd give like shit thank god
Two broken down cars in the driveway that won't crank up
And the same dumb kid online talking about I'm rich when I'm really pissed
Cause I ain't drunk fucking sounds fun
But instead I'm a play guns like I did as a kid
But instead it's a real gun better tell the children earmuffs on
I don't got no hope

Ain't no hope left where I'm from
Only darkness every day
(Every day, every day, every day oh oh)
Ain't no hope left where I'm from
How the hell we 'posed to roam yeah
When the pain is here to stay hey yeah
Wonder how there is no hope yeah
Wonder if I'm gonna cave
Ain't no hope left where I'm from
Lord just get us through this storm
Or you'll be the one I blame, blame

I'm too young to be feeling this old
Too hot to be feeling this cold
I'm at the end of the road
With nowhere to go feeling alone
Feeling no hope I'm out of control
Pass me the rope I'm ready to choke
Ready to call it a day
Here's my toast now I'm ghost
Ain't none of you niggas that know what I'm going thru
Don't even try or attempt to make sense of it
How can you speak on my life
When I'm on my life you can't last or grasp a tenth of it
Don't act like you know what is definite
Don't pick and choose what is deafening
See, I done put so many people on
Came from the bottom but they done forgot who done let them in
Fuck it, it is what it is
My problems to you do not exist
When I was losing a grip
Who cared if I lived? Who checked on my kids?
When she was slicing her wrist who came to the crib?
Who gave me a ring?
They quick to forget what I did
Cause if it ain't them then it ain't a thing
When the benefits ended so did the love
Looking around now who's picking up
Don't tell me you love me when you've given up
It's easy to leave when I'm slipping up
When I'm in the mud when I'm in a rut
When money ain't there do you give a fuck?
It's easy to care when you get a buck
It's easy to say that it's us when I'm up
All of the looting, all of the shooting
All of the lives that we are losing
Looking around like what are we doing
All of it got me feeling confused and
Lost in these crazy times
Feeling like the price I paid
Cost me state of mind
But I done come this far to quit
And I didn't come this fucking far to let my demons get the win
So I'ma stand on my two and throw caution to the wind
And give the world hell til the end revenge

Ain't no hope left where I'm from
Only darkness every day
(Every day, every day, every day oh oh)
Ain't no hope left where I'm from
How the hell we 'posed to roam yeah
When the pain is here to stay hey yeah
Wonder how there is no hope yeah
Wonder if I'm gonna cave
Ain't no hope left where I'm from
Lord just get us through this storm
Or you'll be the one I blame, blame
