Hope (feat. Prince Mydas)

I remember, wasn't so long ago

We had a one room shack and the living was low

And my mama by herself raised me and my bro

Wasn't easy, but we did it with the little that go

Worked hard, got us off to school every day

And kept her eyes on the stars when the skies were gray

Gave us pride to survive, really showed us the way

Now I really understood what she was trying to say

She said, son, there'll be times when the tides are high

And the boat may be rocking, you can cry

Just never give up

You can never give up

In this life, you could lead if you only believe

And in order to achieve what you need

You can never give up

You can never give up

And this hope that keeps me holding on and on

And this hope that makes me carry on, on and on

Boom-boom, couldn't have made it alone

I got a wonderful life, two kids of my own

With a strong foundation that was carved in stone

And my mama for the love that made my house a home

Made me wonder some times if this was meant to be

All this for a humble little guy like me

And all I every really wanted was a family

To teach my kids the same value that she gave to me

She said, son, there'll be times when the tides are high

And the boat may be rocking, you can cry

Just never give up

You can never give up

In this life, you could lead if you only believe

And in order to achieve what you need

You can never give up

You can never give up

And this hope that keeps me holding on and on

And this hope that makes me carry on, on and on

We nah turn no stepper, things a go better

Never let yourself be overcome by di pressure

Cool yah me bredda, have faith instead-a

Sitting and-a watch and all a fight one another

Blaze like fire, we nah go retire

God nah sleep and a hHm a inspire

We haffi reach higher, and that Him require

We haffi make a mark before time expire

And this hope that keeps me holding on and on

And this hope that makes me carry on, on and on

And this hope that keeps me holding on and on

And this hope that makes me carry on, on and on

There's hope yeah

Hope keeps it alive, yeah

Hope keeps it alive, yeah

And the strong survive, yeah

Hope keeps it alive, yeah

Hope keeps it alive, yeah

And the strong survive, yeah

Keep it carry on, keep it carry on

This hope makes me carry on

(I'll keep it carry on, yeah, yeah, I gotta carry on, gotta carry on)
