Hope

Man, I been playin' around in these streets so long

I know my girl think I'll never be ready

But I'ma do all I can to let her know I'm ready

'Cause really, she is worth it

From now on, I'm takin' all her calls (All her calls)

From now on, I won't get lost at all

My time is running out, I know

And right now I'm just tryna restore her hope in me

'Cause clearly, somebody done hurt her

And I just wanna be the one who stands between

Anyone that don't do her right, I'll be there like every night

Tryna make these dudes see the light

Hope she don't just see a thug when she sees me

Hope she can see all this love that I'm filled with (All this love)

All I wanna do is, all I wanna do is

Came up with this little plan, put her hope back in a man

Hope she don't just see a thug when she sees me

Hope that she can see all this love that we should be

All I wanna do is, all I wanna do is

Came up with this little plan

Put her hope back in a man

I see the pain he put in her face (Pain in her face)

Show me where he's at, let me put him in his place

Ain't tryna bogart, but girl I know

That it's a good bet to put her hope in me

Girl, Valentine's Day'll be like every day

And birthdays'll come around like every day

By now, I'm starting to build her hope

Starting to build her hope

And I just hope she sees me

Hope she don't just see a thug when she sees me

Hope she can see all this love that I'm filled with, that I'm filled with

All I wanna do is, all I wanna do is

Came up with this little plan, put her hope back in a man

Hope she don't just see a thug when she sees me (No, ooh-woah)

Hope she can see all this love that we should be

All I wanna do is, all I wanna do is

Came up with this little plan, put her hope back in a man

I'm tryna love you better than you ever been loved

I'm tryna touch you better than you've ever been touched

When it comes to sex, you know I'll keep turnin' up

To a place you've never been, girl

Ooh-ooh-ooh

She don't just see a thug, now

Hope she don't, no no

Hope she don't just see a thug now, thug now, yeah

Hope she can see all this love

Hope that she don't just see a thug now, thug now

Hope she can see all this love

Hope she don't just see a thug when she sees me

Hope she can see all this love that I'm filled with (All this love)

All I wanna do is, all I wanna do is

Came up with this little plan, put her hope back in a man

Hope she don't just see a thug when she sees me (I know)

Hope she can see all this love that we should be (All this love)

All I wanna do is, all I wanna do is

Came up with this little plan, put her hope back in a man
