Hopeful

Oh, oh, oh
(Yeah)

Please, help me, God
I feel so alone
I’m just a kid I can’t take it on my own
I’ve cried so many tears, yeah, writing this song
Tryna fit in, where do I belong?
I wake up everyday, don’t wanna leave my home
My momma’s asking me why I’m always alone
Too scared to say, too scared to holla
I’m walking to school with sweat around my collar

I’m just a kid, I don’t want no stress
My nerves are bad, my life’s a mess
The names you call me; they hurt real bad
I wanna tell my mum but she’s having trouble with my dad
I feel so trapped, there’s nowhere to turn
Come to school, don’t wanna fight I wanna learn
So, please, Mister Bully, tell me what I’ve done
You know I have no dad, I’m living with my mum

‘Cause I’m hopeful, yes I am, hopeful for today
Take this music and use it, let it take you away
And be hopeful, hopeful, and he’ll make a way
I know it ain’t easy, but, that’s okay
Just be hopeful

Why do you trip at the colour of my skin
And whether I’m fat or whether I’m thin
You call me loser, you call me a fool
I ain’t got a choice, I gotta go to school
I wish I had an angel to stick by my side
I’m shaking with fear, I’m so scared inside
Doesn’t really matter if I ain’t got the looks
Why do you always hurt me and destroy my books?

‘Cause I’m hopeful, yes I am, hopeful for today
Take this music and use it, let it take you away
And be hopeful, hopeful, and he’ll make a way
I know it ain’t easy, but, that’s okay
Just be hopeful

I give you all my money every single day
I didn’t ask to be born but now I have to pay
I ain’t got no food, you take all I have
When I give it to you, you search through my bags
I wrote this song for you to see
We could’ve been friends, yeah you and me
Mister bully, take a moment please
Every single day you bring me to my knees

‘Cause I’m hopeful, yes I am, hopeful for today (yeah)
Take this music and use it, let it take you away (uh-huh)
And be hopeful, hopeful, and he’ll make a way
I know it ain’t easy, but (yeah), that’s okay
Just be hopeful
‘Cause I’m helpful, yes, I am, hopeful for today (hopeful for today)
Take this music and use it (bars and melody!), let it take you away (take you away)
And be hopeful, hopeful (yeah), and he’ll make a way
I know it ain’t easy, but, that’s okay
Just be hopeful

What I wear is all I have
We lost our home, I’m livin’ from a bag
Yo mister bully, help me, please
I’m flesh and blood, accept me, please
