Keep Hope

Damn, rest in power to the Blackest Panther
I know how your family feel, my granny died of cancer
Rap niggas fillin' blanks, the shit I never answer
Gotta stand for somethin' when they hold you at a higher standard
Yeah, hey, live on camera another Black was slaughtered
And Kobe death hit a lil' harder, all I had was daughters
EDD got niggas up and cashin' out for water
She went from L's God to Only
Fans, ask about her
Disrespected Obama when they elected Trump
Pray this COVID-19 shit won't be the death of us
You know it's real, niggas eatin', the game blessin' us
Chunkin' big B's for Breonna, T and the rest of us

Yeah, fightin' my demons, it's a battle within
For all my fallen soldiers, light a candle again
They say that He don't put you through what you can't handle, you dig?
For all my losses, I turn on my savage and win, I gotta
Yeah, I gotta keep hope, yeah
Only way is up, but it's a steep slope, yeah
I feel the pain cuttin' deep, though
All I know is, all I know is gotta keep hope (Yeah)

Don't let them people psych you out and get you life without
And don't be scared to run your bag up on the righteous route
I'll always be there for my girlies long as time allow
And never put the streets before 'em, nigga, how that sound?
This hunnid thou' that I just counted came from off the road
I put him on 'cause he on rap and trap is all he know (Uh)
I got my blessings in abundance, that was all she wrote (For real)
I put my people in position, you can't call us broke (Oh yeah)
Overlooked my dawg addiction 'til he overdosed (Uh)
And it be times I question God like, "He wasn't 'posed to go"
What? She say she got me, but I know she don't
She say she'll always be there for me, but I know she won't

Yeah, fightin' my demons, it's a battle within
For all my fallen soldiers, light a candle again
They say that He don't put you through what you can't handle, you dig?
For all my losses, I turn on my savage and win, I gotta
Yeah, I gotta keep hope, yeah
Only way is up, but it's a steep slope, yeah
I feel the pain cuttin' deep, though
All I know is, all I know is gotta keep hope
