[Intro] Dm Hope A7 Dm I'm on my way, I'm comin' Don't A7 Don't lose faith in me Dm I know you've been waiting A7 I know you've been prayin' for my soul Dm Hope A7 Dm Hope Thirty years you been draggin'
A7
your feet, tellin' me
Dm
I'm the reason we're stagnant Thirty years you've been claiming
A7
you're honest and promising progress,
Dm
well, where's it at? A7 I don't want you to feel like a failure Dm I know this hurts A7 But I gave you your chance to deliver Dm Now it's my turn A7 Don't get me wrong Dm Nate, you've had a great run A7 But it's time to Dm Give the people somethin' different A7 So without furthеr ado, I'd Dm Like to introduce my My album (My album) A7 My album (My album), my album
My album (My album), my album (My album),
my album (My album) My album— Dm HOPE
[Verse 1] What's my definition of succеss?
A7
(Of success) Listening to what your heart says
Dm
(Your heart says)
Standing up for what you know is (Is) A7 Right, while everybody else is (Is) A7 A7 Tucking their tail between their legs
Dm
(Okay) What's my definition of success?
A7
(Of success) Creating something no one else can
Dm
(Else can) Being brave enough to dream big
(Big) A7 Grinding when you're told to just quit
(Quit) A7 A7 Giving more when you got nothing left
(Left) Dm It's a person that'll take a chance on
Something they were told could
never happen A7 It's a person that can see
the bright side
Through the dark times when there ain't one Dm It's when someone who ain't never had nothin'
Ain't afraid to walk away from A7 More profit 'cause they'd rather do somethin'
That they really love and take the pay cut Dm It's a person that would never waver
Or change who they are A7 Just to try to and gain some credibility
So they could feel accepted by a stranger Dm It's a person that can take the
failures in their life
and turn them into motivation A7 A7 It's believing in yourself
A7
when no one else does,
A7
it's amazin' Dm What a little bit of faith can do if you
don't even believe in you A7 Why would you think or expect anybody else
that's around you to? Dm I done did things that I regret,
I done said things
I can't take back A7 Was a lost soul at a crossroad
who had no hope,
but I changed that Dm I spent years of my life holdin'
on to things
I never should've kept,
full of hatred A7 Years of my life carryin'
a lot of baggage that
I should've walked away from Dm Years of my life wishin'
I was someone different,
lookin' for some validation A7 A7 A7 Years of my life tryna fill the void,
pretending I was in—
They get it
[Verse 2] Dm Growing pain's a necessary evil
Difficult to go through, yes,
but beneficial A7 Some would say having a mental breakdown
is a negative thing A7 Which on one hand, I agree with Dm On the other hand, it was the push I needed
To get help and start the healing process, see A7 If I'd have never hit rock bottom
Would I be the person that I am today? A7 I don't believe so Dm I'm a prime example of what happens
when you choose to not accept defeat
and face your demons A7 Took me thirty years to realize
that if you wanna
A7
get that opportunity Dm To be the greatest version of yourself,
sometimes you got to be
someone you're not
To hear the voice of reason A7 Having kids will make you really
take a step back
and look in the mirror
At least for me, that's what it did, I [Outro] Dm Wake up every day and pick my son up
Hold him in my arms and let him
know he's loved (Loved) A7 Standing by the window, questioning if dad is
ever going to show up (Up) Dm Isn't something he's goin'
to have to worry 'bout
Don't get it twisted, that wasn't a shot A7 Mama, I forgive you
I just don't want him to grow up thinkin'
that he'll never be enough Dm Thirty years of running,
thirty years of searchin'
Thirty years of hurting,
thirty years of pain A7 Thirty years of fearful,
thirty years of anger
Thirty years of empty,
thirty years of shame Dm Thirty years of broken,
thirty years of anguish
Thirty years of hopeless,
thirty years of (Hey) A7 Thirty years of never,
thirty years of maybe
Thirty years of later,
thirty years of fake Dm Thirty years of hollow,
thirty years of sorrow
Thirty years of darkness,
thirty years of (Nate) A7 Thirty years of baggage,
thirty years of sadness
Thirty years of stagnant,
thirty years of chains Dm Thirty years of anxious,
thirty years of suffering
Thirty years of torment,
thirty years of (Wait) A7 Thirty years of bitter,
thirty years of lonely
Thirty years of pushing
everyone away ('Way) Dm (You'll never evolve)
I know I can change (We are not enough)
We are not the same A7 (You don't have the heart)
You don't have the strength (You don't have the will)
You don't have the faith Dm (You'll never be loved,
you'll never be safe) (Might as well give up)
Not running away A7 (You don't have the guts)
You're the one afraid (I'm the one in charge)
I'm taking the— (No)
I'm taking the N.C. Reins
