lyrics

Sometimes, it seems like we just hope for the best
You know, like hopefully things'll change, hopefully

I'm feeling jet lag behind the times
Got this pen and pad but I don't stay inside the lines
All my people grind based, weighing measurements
Does this equal that and damn well what's the estimates
At the precipice the jump off might not be the best move
But that don't make it feel less cool
Y'all in the cesspool just tryna make a splash
I just do my best to build this shit to last
I been in class too long, they all cancelled now
You got some keys for life, I'm writing answers down
I been in charge too long, I need to charge up
They tryna block your shine, you can't keep a star shut
If that collapse-where these raps about to go to
I just wanna cool out on the couch with the roku
Yo my style is remote but it's focussed locally
Tryna teach these students but they steady wanna smoke with me

Hopefully, yo living life hopefully
And I don't know what it mean but it's so dope to me
Hopefully, yo looking out hopefully
To see the road and find the code of what I'm s'posed to be
Hopefully, yo living life hopefully
And I don't know what it mean but it's so dope to me
Hopefully, yo looking out hopefully
To see the road and find the code of what I'm s'posed to be

Hopefully we can finally make it happen
Hopefully all this momentum turns to action
Hopefully the passion that you feel gets applied
The problem is that most just sit still in the lie
Yo, you been seen it, you don't need more information
You need education? well here's an illustration
You break your leg, you only get one cast
All legs matter but you can't walk to class
See how an injury must be repaired
Oh that sound like reparations but don't get scared
Fragility, fear, and guilt from the white folk
A lot to overcome cuz privilege is nice though
Hopefully we can finally make it happen
Hopefully all this momentum turns to action
Hopefully the passion that you feel gets applied
The problem is that most just sit still in the lie

Hopefully, yo living life hopefully
And I don't know what it mean but it's so dope to me
Hopefully, yo looking out hopefully
To see the road and find the code of what I'm s'posed to be
Hopefully, yo living life hopefully
And I don't know what it mean but it's so dope to me
Hopefully, yo looking out hopefully
To see the road and find the code of what I'm s'posed to be
Hopefully...

A call to action.
We wanted a revolution, but they just ran us around in circles. Here to speak truth, to say what needs to be said. And the beats are f#@kin bangin.

Do your best.
See the positive. Transform the world.
