"Lost Hope" lyrics

At times I feel like we lost hope
I turn on the news and they just keep on killing black folks
I'm ducking dodging police
I'm ducking dodging police

I just gotta make it today
Keep my soul I can't be a slave
Changed my life and took it all away
Dripping til my well runs dry

All I see is homicide feel it when my mama cry
You know what the mission is
Don't know how I feel inside
We was always down to ride
If I slide my niggas slide
If you ain't a nigga gettin money you won't feel the vibe
Running the streets
I been up so many nights cuz I can't sleep
Friends turn to foes but I'm in to deep
So many lost souls got me dealing with grief
Mhmm hmm mmm mmm

At times I feel like we lost hope
I turn on the news and they just keep on killing black folks
I'm ducking dodging police
I'm ducking dodging police

I had a son to feed ran the streets to water my seed
Ran with hustlers and thieves roll up our sleeves and see vv's
My life a movie but no pg, ya
See how we living it's like 3D, ya
Got what I want, then I got what I need
Stand up nigga that never been on his knees
And what's faith if you ain't willing to leap, ya
I see clear, they skipping real niggas like a leap year, ya

They hate to see a nigga on his feet
Probably why a Karen going viral every week
That's why the cops staring like food stuck in my teeth
Mhmm mmm mmm mmm

At times I feel like we lost hope
I turn on the news and they just keep on killing black folks
I'm ducking dodging police
I'm ducking dodging police
