From the recording Hope is Pretty Dope
Lyrics
If you could see just what I see you’d know my memories
And how I came to be just as I am
There was no plan, so I asked on my own
How do I become the best me that I know?
But no one seems to have the answer that I need
My outlook is always optimistic; I think that’s what it takes
I want to take care in my own life, but I make so many mistakes
Human condition, it’s the only one I know
Every decision is the journey of my soul
And I’ve learned some lessons looking back at what I chose
And it brings me wisdom, and wisdom brings me hope
Hope is pretty dope
Da da dala, Da da dala
Da da dala, hope is pretty dope
Da da dala, Da da dala
Oh…
We’re living in a world of constant lies
When we all just want the truth
I think it’s that our heads just get too heavy
Our hearts buckle from abuse
What is my lesson? What’s my part in this snafu
Thank god you mentioned there’s hope in me and you
When I lose perspective you say, “Look to the stars,
There’s nothing out there that we are not a part of
Hope is pretty dope
Da da dala, Da da dala
Da da dala, hope is pretty dope
Da da dala, Da da da da, da da
No matter if you’re near or far
You’re right here in my heart
I teeter on the precipice, I’ve fallen for
The tricks of modern day
So I’m giving up the fix of my addiction
There must be a better way
Like the cure to cancer, like a strong immunity
Let’s work together like we are one body
It starts with you and me
Just you and me
That’s how I will be
The best me I can be
