Hopeless - Şevin

Everything out here seems hopeless

Gotta bury all my friends so low

I’m trying just to keep my focus

They tell me You could cleanse my soul

I wanna pray but I also know that talk is cheap

And I wanna stay but it’s like I’m out here walking sleep

Before the Lord

Bad apple rotten to the core

No remorse death on the piano playing course

Watch for the snakes I’m a ape with the torch

In the Toyota gettin green

Yoda lifting with the force

Hu

My little rellies only rap when they bored

And they trapped because they actually poor

Grab the mack

It’s a jack

Lift ya frame off the floor

Hit your house

Clean it out

Yes we came to do chores

It just rains and it pours

Committing murder just to get accepted

And never speaking to the tech

Just one drop a poison it’s all infected

My neighborhood’s a baby that has been neglected

It’s crazy

Cuz wisdom from a square we don’t respect it

He gave us life

Unfit mothers we abortin it

Died for our sins left hangin

He’s anointing it

God’s will unfortunate

Mission where the coordinates for truth

Go wild an animal when you corner it

Ain’t nothing sweet

Had the teeth with the Cinnabon strips

Guilty

Yep

Until we proven in the Son

Hot boy I’m always in the sun

Nah I ain’t fittin to run

Faithful woman I’m trying to get me one

Young and sad from momma’s room

Smelling burnt plastic

Scattered ashes on the ave

We can’t afford a casket

Work stashed him right inside a laundry basket

Pray for pain bare faced

I can’t mask it

Everything out here seems hopeless

Gotta bury all my friends so low

I’m trying just to keep my focus

They tell me You could cleanse my soul

I wanna pray but I also know that talk is cheap

And I wanna stay but it’s like I’m out here walking sleep

For real

I came fresh up out the soup where they be boiling people

You can’t have righteous fruit if the soil is evil

And even though on every corner there’s a steeple

And they claim to be disciples they don’t fight for justice or the people

See I was a youngin' you never found in class

Dreaming of a mound of cash

SK and a pound of hash

A broken hearted thug

I was in need of guidance

And they told me God was love

But all I seen was violence

I witnessed hella murders with my own eyes

Out here you’d break fast to get some ketchup on your home fries

And who cares to wipe its tears if a stone cries

I’ve grown wise

How can you reap the truth if you’ve sown lies

The devil’s serving I worked for my own death

Guess I was kinda like a whale to try swallowing the sea

The mere fact that I am here

Mind boggling to me

And what ya’ll calling luck was God’s sovereign decree

For real

They say I over compliment the streets

But you’re only concerned with that

Cuz you don’t comprehend the streets

Speaking all that Christianese

They don’t comprehend your speech

Killas that be quick to squeeze

Are not the kind you tend to reach

Huh

They took my rellies bread up out his stash

Tossed his body in the dumpster and he bled out on the trash

We settle for the dark

Cuz the light is hard to find

I love my rellies to the heart

I pray for lifers all the time

Yeah

I spit for the gangsters but this ain’t trippin music

It’s a different movement that sticks with ya til you get improvement

And the hood still love me cuz I contribute to it

Focus on the Father blood I promise that he’ll get us through it

And the hood gon' love you if you contribute to it

Focus on the Father blood I promise He gon' get you through it

Everything out here seems hopeless

Gotta bury all my friends so low

I’m trying just to keep my focus
