High Hopes

(album: Slid Thru Just To Show You Whats Up - 2020)

Yeah
Grand opening, grand closing
[?]

Everyday been on the same page, just tryna maintain
Yeah, a nigga work the slave trade just tryna make change
But I ain't tripping, I got high hopes
No, I ain't tripping, I got high hopes
You know we really grew up on the bad side, just tryna act right
I ain't tripping 'bout my past life, don't get a new life
No, I ain't tripping, I got high hopes
I ain't tripping, I got high hopes

Look, I could've got heated but I stayed cool
I stayed down, I made moves
They telling me what I can't do
But I can't fold and I can't lose
To everybody that fuck with me and to everybody that came through
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, yeah
See we really put in work in the middle in the night, yeah
Tryna [?] fell asleep at the light
Dreaming that I just die
Who gon' take care of the family? Who gon' provide?
And I hear a horn and I opened my eyes
I realize I got too much drive
On the road to success even with closed eyes
I'ma make it, make it, make it, make it, make it
And I ain't been racing
Fast money don't last too long, gotta pace it
I learned that from Weezy
That Carter II had a young nigga dreaming
And they never heard me but I'm on my journey and really I won't stop believing
I had to weather the storm to wait on my season

Everyday been on the same page, just tryna maintain
Yeah, a nigga work the slave trade just tryna make change
But I ain't tripping, I got high hopes
No, I ain't tripping, I got high hopes
You know we really grew up on the bad side, just tryna act right
I ain't tripping 'bout my past life, don't get a new life
No, I ain't tripping, I got high hopes
I ain't tripping, I got high hopes
