 Hope I'm on my way I'm coming
 Don't, don't lose faith in me
 I know you've been waiting
 I know you've been praying for my soul
 Hope, hope

 30 years you've been draggin' your feet telling me I'm the reason we're stagnant
 30 years you've been claiming you're honest and promising progress, well where's it at?
 I don't want you to feel like a failure
 I know this hurts
 But I gave you your chance to deliver
 Now it's my turn

 Don't get me wrong
 (Nate you've had a great run)
 But it's time to
 (Give the people something different)
 So without further ado I'd
 Like to introduce my
 My album, my album, my album, my album, my album, my album
 HOPE

 What's my definition of success?
 Listening to what your heart says
 Standing up for what you know is
 Right while everybody else is
 Tucking their tail between their legs
 (Okay)

 What's my definition of success?
 Creating something no one else can
 Being brave enough to dream big
 Grinding when you're told to just quit
 Giving more when you got nothin' left
 It's a person that'll take a chance on
 Something they were told could never happen
 It's a person that can see the bright side
 Through the dark times when there ain't one
 It's when someone who ain't never had nothing
 Ain't afraid to walk away from
 More profit 'cause they'd rather do something that they really love and take the pay cut

 It's person that would never waver
 Or change who
 They are just to try and gain some
 Credibility so they can feel accepted by a stranger
 It's a person that can take the failures in their life and turn 'em into motivation
 It's believing in yourself when no one else does it's amazing
 What a little bit of faith can do
 If you don't even believe in you
 Why would you think or expect anybody else that's around you to
 I done did things that I regret
 I done said things I can't take back
 Was a lost soul at a crossroad who had no hope but I changed that

 I spent years of my life holding on to things
 I never should kept full of hatred
 Years of my life carrying a lot of baggage
 That I should've walked away from
 Years of my life wishin' I was someone different
 Lookin' for some validation
 Years of my life trying to fill a void pretending I was they get it

 Growing pain's a necessary evil
 Difficult to go through yes but beneficial
 Some would say having a mental breakdown is a
 Negative thing which on one hand I agree but
 On the other hand it was the push I needed
 To get help and start the healing process see
 If l'da never hit rocket bottom would I be the person that I am today I don't believe
 So I'm a prime example of happens when you
 Choose to not accept defeat and face your demons
 Took me 30 years to realize that if you wanna get the opportunity
 To be the greatest version of yourself sometimes
 You gotta be someone you're not to hear the voice of reason
 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 wake up every day and pick my son up
 Hold him in my arms and let him know he's loved (loved)
 Standing by the window questioning if dad is ever going to show up (up)
 Isn't something he's gon' have to worry bout
 Don't get it twisted that wasn't a shot
 Mamma I forgive you I just don't want him to
 Grow up thinking that he'll never be enough

 30 years of running
 30 years of searching
 30 years of hurting
 30 years of pain
 30 years of fearful
 30 years of anger
 30 years of empty
 30 years of shame
 30 years of broken
 30 years of anguish
 30 years of hopeless
 30 years of (hey)
 30 years of never
 30 years of maybe
 30 years of later
 30 years of fake
 30 years of hollow
 30 years of sorrow
 30 years of darkness
 30 years of (Nate)
 30 vears of baggage
 30 years of sadness
 30 years of stagnant
 30 years of chains
 30 years of anxious
 30 vears of suffering
 30 years of torment
 30 years of (wait)
 30 years of bitter
 30 years of lonely
 30 years of pushing everyone away

 You'll never evolve
 (I know I can change)
 We are not enough
 (We are not the same)
 You don't have the heart
 (You don't have the strength)
 You don't have the will
 You don't have the faith)
 You'll never be loved
 You'll never be safe
 Might as well give up
 (Not running away)
 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 reigns...
