NF - HOPE (Lyrics) Chords

[Ebm] Oh, [Eb] _ _ [Bb] I'm on my way, I'm coming
[Ebm] _ Don't, [Bb] don't lose faith in me
[Ebm] I know you've been waiting
I [Bb] know you've been praying for [Ebm] my soul
[Eb] Oh, _ _ [C] oh
_ [F] _ [Ebm] _ _ Thirty years [Bb] you've been dragging [Eb] your feet
Telling me I'm the reason [Ebm] we're stagnant
Thirty [Abm] years you've [Bb] been claiming [Eb] you're honest
In promising progress, [Ebm] well where is it at?
I don't want you [Bb] to feel like a failure
[Eb] [D] I know [Ebm] this hurts
[Eb] But I gave you [Bb] your chance to deliver
[D] Now it's [Ebm] my chance
Don't get [Bb]
me wrong
[G] Nature [Ebm] had a great ride
_ [Gm] But it's time to
Give the people [Ebm] something to thrive
So without [Bb] further ado [Eb] I
Like to [Ebm] introduce my
My album, my [Bb] album, my album, my album, my album, [N] my album, my album, my [Ebm] album Hope
What's my definition of [Bb] success?
Listening [Eb] to what your heart says
[Ebm] Standing up for what you know [Bb] is
Why will everybody else say
Fucking that [Ebm] shit between their legs
What's my definition [Bb] of success?
Creating something [Ebm] no one else can
Being brave [Bb] enough to dream big
Riding when you're told to just quit
Ain't more [Ebm] when you got nothing left
Written that I'm taking chance on
Something that we told could never happen
[Bb] It's a person that can see the bright side
Through the dark [Ebm] times when there ain't one
It's from someone who ain't never had nothing
Ain't afraid to [Bb] walk away from
More important cause they'd rather do something
That they really love [Ebm] and take the pain cut
It's a person that would never waver
Or change who they are just [Bb] to try and gain some credibility
So they can feel accepted [Ebm] by a stranger
It's a person that can take the fears in their life
And turn them into [Bb] motivation
It's believing in yourself when no one else does [Gm] it
It's amazing what a little bit of faith can do
[Bb] If you don't even believe in you
Why would you think or expect [Ebm] anybody else that's around you to?
I done did things that I regret
I done said things [Bb] I can't take back
[A] Was a lost soul at a crossroad
Who had no hope [Eb] when I changed that
I spent years of my life holding on to [Bb] things I never should have kept
Full of hatred
Years of my life carrying a lot of baggage that I [Eb] should have walked away from
Years of my life wishing I was someone different
Looking [Bb] for some validation
Years of my life trying to feel a part of a thing I [Ebm] wasn't
They get it
It's [Bb] a necessary evil difficult to go through
Yet so beneficial somewhat
Having a mental breakdown is a negative thing
Which I [Ebm] want to deny and drink
But [Eb] on the other hand
It [Bb] was the push I needed to get help and start the healing process
See if I didn't never hit rock bottom
Would I be the person that I am [Ebm] today?
I don't believe so
I'm a poor example of what happens when you just do not accept [Bb] defeat and failure
Then it took me 20 years to realize that if you want to get the [Ebm] opportunity to be the greatest version of [B] yourself
Sometimes you gotta be someone you're not to [Bb] hit the brush or reason
Having kids won't make you really quick to step back and look in the mirror
[Ebm] At least for me that's what it did
I wake up everyday and pick my son up
Hold him in my arms and [Bb] let him know he's loved
Standing by the window questioning if dad is ever going to show up
[Ebm] Isn't something he's gonna have to worry about
Don't get it twisted
That [Bb] wasn't a shot
Mama I forgive you
I just don't want him to grow up thinking that we'll never [Ebm] be enough
30 years of running
30 years of searching
30 years of hurting
30 [Bb] years of pain
30 years of fear
30 years of anger
30 years of empty
30 [Ebm] years of shame
30 years of broken
30 years of anger
30 years of hopeless
30 [Bb] years of tired
30 years of never
30 years of maybe
30 years of late
30 [Ebm] years of faint
30 years of high
30 years of sorrow
30 years of darkness
30 [Bb] years of hate
30 years of pain
30 years of sadness
30 years of stagnant
30 [Ebm] years of change
30 years of hating
30 years of suffering
30 [Ebm] years of torment
30 [Bb] years of work, 30 years of better, 30 years of lonely, 30 years of pushing [Ebm] everyone away!
You'll never evolve, I know I can change, we are not enough, we are [Bb] not the same, you don't have
the heart, you don't have the strength, you don't have the will, you don't [Ebm] have the faith, you'll
never be loved, you'll never be saved, right is what you love, not [Bb] running away, you don't have
the gutter, you're the one to blame, I'm the one to talk, I'm taking the blame!
