[00:00.73]Hope

[00:31.45]
[00:33.61]Thirty years you been draggin' your feet
[00:36.33]Tellin' me I'm the reason we're stagnant
[00:39.50]
[00:40.81]Thirty years you've been claimin' you're honest and promisin' progress
[00:45.50]But where's it at
[00:47.11]
[00:48.17]I don't want you to feel like a failure
[00:51.07]
[00:52.20]I know this hurts
[00:54.13]
[00:55.13]But I gave you your chance to deliver
[00:58.34]
[00:59.27]Now it's my turn
[01:01.36]
[01:02.17]Don't get me wrong Nate you've had a great run
[01:08.44]
[01:09.23]But it's time to give the people somethin' different
[01:15.70]
[01:16.78]So without further ado I'd like to introduce my
[01:23.03]
[01:23.75]My album my album my album my album
[01:26.75]My album my album my album
[01:28.97]
[01:29.48]HOPE
[01:29.86]
[01:31.28]What's my definition of success
[01:33.10]
[01:35.23]Listening to what your heart says
[01:36.74]
[01:38.72]Standing up for what you know is
[01:40.48]Right while everybody else is
[01:42.40]Tucking their tail between their legs
[01:44.06]Okay
[01:44.57]
[01:45.67]What's my definition of success
[01:47.70]Success
[01:48.40]
[01:49.48]Creating something no one else can
[01:51.13]
[01:53.08]Bein' brave enough to dream big
[01:54.46]
[01:54.98]Grindin' when you're told to just quit
[01:56.72]Givin' more when you got nothin' left
[01:58.21]It's a person that'll take a chance on
[02:00.01]Somethin' they were told could never happen
[02:01.68]It's a person that can see the bright side
[02:03.61]Through the dark times when there ain't one
[02:05.42]It's when someone who ain't never had nothin'
[02:07.21]Ain't afraid to walk away from more profit
[02:09.54]'Cause they'd rather do somethin' that they really love
[02:11.56]And take the pay cut
[02:12.76]It's a person that would never waiver
[02:14.24]Or change who they are
[02:15.91]Just to try to and gain some credibility
[02:17.65]So they could feel accepted by a stranger
[02:19.63]It's a person that can take the failures in their life
[02:21.95]And turn them into motivation
[02:23.20]It's believing in yourself when no one else does
[02:26.00]It's amazing
[02:26.79]What a little bit of faith can do
[02:28.59]If you don't even believe in you
[02:30.46]Why would you think or expect anybody else that's around you to
[02:34.02]I done did things that I regret
[02:35.87]I done said things I can't take back
[02:37.63]Was a lost soul at a cross road who had no hope
[02:40.23]But I changed that
[02:41.11]I spent years of my life holdin' on to things I never should've kept
[02:44.09]Full of hatred
[02:45.01]Years of my life carryin' a lot of baggage
[02:47.19]That I should've walked away from
[02:48.62]Years of my life wishin' I was someone different
[02:50.76]Lookin' for some validation
[02:52.17]Years of my life tryna fill the void pretending I was in
[02:54.92]They get it
[02:55.82]Growing pain's a necessary evil
[02:57.27]Difficult to go through yes but beneficial
[02:58.98]Some would say having a mental breakdown is a negative thing
[03:01.55]Which on one hand I agree with
[03:02.76]On the other hand it was the push I needed
[03:04.35]To get help and start the healing process see
[03:06.12]If I'd have never hit rock bottom
[03:07.47]Would I be the person that I am today
[03:09.16]I don't believe so
[03:09.90]I'm a prime example of what happens when you
[03:11.64]Choose to not accept defeat and face your demons
[03:13.39]Took me thirty years to realize that if you
[03:15.20]Wanna get the opportunity to be the greatest version of yourself
[03:18.09]Sometimes you got to be someone you're not
[03:19.67]To hear the voice of reason
[03:20.67]Having kids will make you really take a step back
[03:22.48]And look in the mirror
[03:23.30]At least for me that's what it did I
[03:24.63]Wake up every day and pick my son up
[03:26.07]Hold him in my arms and let him know he's loved
[03:27.77]Loved
[03:28.05]Standing by the window questioning if dad is ever going to show up
[03:31.03]Up
[03:31.26]Isn't something he's goin' to have to worry 'bout
[03:33.11]Don't get it twisted that wasn't a shot
[03:34.60]Mama I forgive you
[03:35.51]I just don't want him to grow up thinkin' that he'll never be enough
[03:38.22]Thirty years of running thirty years of searching
[03:40.02]Thirty years of hurting thirty years of pain
[03:41.72]Thirty years of fearful thirty years of anger
[03:43.52]Thirty years of empty thirty years of shame
[03:45.30]Thirty years of broken thirty years of anguish
[03:47.08]Thirty years of hopeless thirty years of
[03:48.66]Hey
[03:48.91]Thirty years of never thirty years of maybe
[03:50.73]Thirty years of later thirty years of fake
[03:52.50]Thirty years of hollow thirty years of sorrow
[03:54.31]Thirty years of darkness thirty years of
[03:55.79]Nate
[03:56.09]Thirty years of baggage thirty years of sadness
[03:57.86]Thirty years of stagnant thirty years of chains
[03:59.69]Thirty years of anxious thirty years of suffering
[04:01.43]Thirty years of torment thirty years of
[04:03.03]Wait
[04:03.31]Thirty years of bitter thirty years of lonely
[04:05.01]Thirty years of pushing everyone away
[04:06.80]You'll never evolve
[04:07.66]I know I can change
[04:08.58]We are not enough
[04:09.46]We are not the same
[04:10.41]You don't have the heart
[04:11.30]You don't have the strength
[04:12.18]You don't have the will
[04:13.06]You don't have the faith
[04:13.94]You'll never be loved you'll never be safe
[04:15.83]Might as well give up
[04:16.67]Not running away
[04:17.47]You don't have the guts
[04:18.51]You're the one afraid
[04:19.28]I'm the one in charge
[04:20.28]I'm taking the
[04:20.83]No
[04:21.17]I'm taking the
[04:21.83]
[04:22.79]Reins
