Текст песни Intro (Hope) - JT

Still the same -, ain't - changed
Damn, I miss my dogs, damn, I miss the game
Moved away from home, hoping - change
Still a lot of trauma eatin' at my brain

-, I'm still mad from twenty years ago
Wonder why my daddy gave my mama -
Young, Black and lost, but never lost hope
Young, Black and lost, but never lost hope

Rent past due, but my shoes new
Non-rapping -, who the - you talking to?
I was off in Saks, Gucci alligator bags
While you was laying on your back and stuffin' bottles up -

"These - ain't -," words from my auntie
Eight mugshots, - still beg to - me
-, I'm too rare like NY with some palm trees
- ever play, then it's face where my palm be

These all facts, ask the - on my block how
I was parked at them stores with them pieces in my socks
And I'm still hot, in the summer, terry cloth
Made it to the top and I swear I'll never stop

Still the same -, ain't - changed
Damn, I miss my dogs, damn, I miss the game
Moved away from home, hoping - change
Still a lot of trauma eatin' at my brain

-, I'm still mad from twenty years ago
Wonder why my daddy gave my mama -
Young, Black and lost, but never lost hope
Young, Black and lost, but never lost hope

Who would have thought me, JT
Would be sitting at awards? I was just in cell three
Now it's Italy, solo dates at symphonies
Champagne glasses, Ferragamos on my feet

So fresh, so clean and I made it from the dirt
Can't understand a menu, send a - a surf and turf
I won't bend and I won't fold
Mwah, no bars, five hundred thousand sold

Still the same -, ain't - changed
Damn, I miss my dogs, damn, I miss the game
Moved away from home, hoping - change
Still a lot of trauma eatin' at my brain

-, I'm still mad from twenty years ago
Wonder why my daddy gave my mama -
Young, Black and lost, but never lost hope
Young, Black and lost, but never lost hope (Ah)

(Young, Black and lost, but never lost hope)
(Young, Black and lost, but never lost hope)
