Hope (Explicit) - Twista/Faith Evans

Lyrics by：Carl Mitchell

Twista：

I wish the way I was living could stop serving rocks

Knowing the cops is hot when I'm on the block

And I

Wish my brother woulda made bail

So I won't have to travel 6 hours to see him in jail

And I

Wish that my grandmother wasn't sick

Or that we would just come up on some stacks and hit a lick

And I

I wish

Wish my homies wouldn't have to suffer

When the streets get the upper hand on us and we lose a brother

And I

Wish I could go deep in the zone

And lift the spirits of the world with the words within this song

And I

I wish

Wish I could teach a soul to fly

Take away the pain out cha hands and help you hold them hi

And I

Wish my hommie Butch was still alive

And on the day of his death we had never took that ride

And I

I wish

Wish that God could protect us from the wrong

So all the soldiers that were sent overseas come home

We would never break

Though they devastate

We shall motivate

And we gotta pray all we got is faith

Instead of thinking about who gonna die to day

The Lord is gonna help you feel better so you ain't gotta cry today

Sit at the light so long

And then we gotta move straight forward cause we fight so strong

So when right go wrong

Just say a little prayer get ya money man life goes on

Let's hope

Faith Evans：

Though I'm hopeful yes I am hopeful for today

Take this music and use it

Let it take you away

And be hopeful Hopeful and he'll make a way

I know it ain't easy but that's okay

'Cause we hopeful

Twista：

I wish that you could show some love

Instead of hating so much when you see some other people coming up

I wish

I wish I could teach the world to sing

Watch the music and have 'em tripping of the joy I bring

I wish that we could hold hands

Listen instead of dissing lessons from a grown man

And I

I wish

Wish the families that lack but got love get some stacks

Brand new shack and a lac' that's on dubs and I

Wish we could keep achieving wonders

See the vision of the world through the eyes of Stevie Wonder you feel me

I wish

And I hope all the kids eat

And don't nobody in my family see six feet ya dig

I hope them mothers stand strong

You can make it whether you with him or your mans gone and I

I wish

Wish I could give every celly some commissary

And the po po bring the heat on the peace like they did R. Kelly

And I

Wish that DOC could scream again

And bullets could reverse so Pac and Biggie breath again

I wish

That one day they could speak again

I wish that we only saw good news every time we look at CNN

I wish we could never get the blues

Wish I could bring back the people that died at E2 I wish

I wish that we could walk a path stay doing the right thing

Hustle hard so the kids maintain up in the game

Let's hope

Faith Evans：

Though I'm hopeful yes I am hopeful for today

Take this music and use it

Let it take you away

And be hopeful hopeful and he'll make a way

I know it ain't easy but that's okay

Cause we hopeful

Twista：

Wish the earth wasn't so apocalyptic

I try to spread my message to the world the best way

I can give it

We can make it always be optimistic

If you don't listen gotta live my life the best way

That I can live it

I pray for justice when we go to court

Wish it was all good so the country wouldn't have to go to war

Why can't we kick it and just get 'em on

And In the famous words of Mr. King

Why can't we all just get along

Hope we can find a better way to shop and please

And I

Hope we find a better way to cop a keys and I

Wish everybody would just stop and freeze

And ask way are we fulfilling these downfalls and these prophecies

You can be wrong if it's you doubting

With the faith of a mustard seed you can move mountains

And only the heavenly father can ease the hurt

Just let it go and keep praying on your knees in church

And let's hope

Faith Evans：

Though I'm hopeful yes I am hopeful for today

Take this music and use it

Let it take you away let it take you away

And be hopeful hopeful and he'll make a way

I know it ain't easy but that's okay

Though I'm hopeful yes I am hopeful for today

Take this music and use it

Let it take you away

And be hopeful Hopeful and he'll make a way

I know it ain't easy but that's okay

'Cause we hopeful

Hopeful
