(verse 1)
hope/
those pearly gates/
when we start to embark they await/
the ones who make peace and stray from the hate/
it's not too late/
to transform your heart/
to make the change/
and it can be hard/
but it's worth it y'all/
we come from a place/
where we can be safe/
we all make mistakes/
and that's ok/
we got what it takes/
to break from our chains/
i seen it/
believe when i say it, i mean it, i done it/
and that aint' no frontin'/
cos i been on something called truth/
look at my life microscope see the proof/
got a few clues from the people around me who done this now too/
and when the sounds sound right? you know it sounds true/
so do whachu' do though keep it love too/
and we can make it through/
we gon' make it through/
believe that/
hope/

Hope/

(verse 2)
love/
it got a place/
in every space/
it's on it's way/
be not afraid/
the only way/
is to be brave/
cradle to grave/
free men or slave/
ink on the page/
we can create/
we got the rhymes/
you get the tapes/
let's set the pace/
we can escape/
from one to one?/
we run this race/
this what we chase/
not 'bout the cake/
we 'bout the music the message our fate/
the rest of the pressure come from those who fake/
but we never measure our selves to those apes/
cos we got the greats/
Mandela, Martin, Mahatma, Jemison Mae/
they paved the way/
for us to be saved/
and it's up to us/
to rep for today/
love/
