Chamillionaire - Hopeful lyrics

rate me

[fan on phone]

Hey yo Koopa what's up man, this is Lil' Josh man

I'm calling from Cleveland, Ohio man

And basically, I'm just calling to let you know that you know I'm saying

Up here, y'all boys is the only thing that we really jam

Know I'm saying, Koopa I'm a huge fan of the old Chamillitary Entertainment

Click movement man, that I can rap you know I'm saying

I know you prolly get people, that say they could rap all day

You know I'm saying, but I'm tal'n bout I can really really really really...

[Chamillionaire]

Ain't really knowing where you going, but you going through it

Ah you love to go to the studio, devoted to it

Light up a swisha nigga, get a sweet and blow it to it

Cause this year gonna be a year, you'll be sure to do it

I know ya going through some thangs, trying to get in the game

But you complain, cause these rappers that you hearing is laim

And it's a shame, that ain't nobody seeing your pain

It's like, and tears never show in the rain

But you don't hear me though, like the music really low

You love rap mayn, but you don't feel the gimmicks no

You feel like you a real nigga, when you spit a flow

Everybody'll be on your dick, when you finna blow

Yeah-yeah, you know I hear ya mayn

Situation ain't changed, mayn it's still the same

You trying to get at Puff, you trying to get at Dame

Plastic crack in the trunk, trying to get a name

But they diss you, everytime you approach the guy

How you survive, you can't sell a c.d. mo' than five

Trust me, they couldn't feel your pain mo' than I

Keep on grinding for it, and your money multiply

I, use to scrabble raps up in my pad

No do' just hope, yep that's all I had

And my family, they didn't like it that's why I was mad

Couldn't live up my own dreams, that's why I was bad

Bad yeah, and you could color me bad

But now the screen looking green, and they shoving me that

I hear him scream bout the cream, but it doesn't be fact

Cause it's only a few that's true, and really does it with rap

That's the truth, that y'all would never hear

Cause the picture they try to paint for you, is never clear

Paint the pictures I see right through it, like it's Ever-clear

You don't know the truth when you hear it, get a better ear yeah

[Faith Evans]

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 ok - 2x

[singing]

[fan on phone]

You know I'm saying, you a underground legend

You know I'm saying, I look up to you Koopa and

I would love to sign with Chamillitary

I would love to be a part of Color Changin' Click man

I know you got a busy schedule man, but I'm telling you Koopa

If you'd just give me a shot man, I know you won't regret it man

I just really wanna be down with you man, I'm saying

This Lil' Josh, from Cleveland
