Maali P - Holding Down Hope Lyrics

From the sunrise until to the nightfall
A lot is on the mind, but I wanna write yall
As we focus all our time, tryna deal with Life's call
What you know about hope, are you holding down hope
Look for many it's a strain, when it rains, tryna cope
The pain won't go away, entertaining plight's joke
Anticipating change, Can this be my last rope
What you know about hope, are you holding down hope
Cause I'm holding down hope
Let them tears pour, please get some extra tissue
When stress consumes your mind, this is when your feelings tempts you
Bills don't meet the budget, scraps are on the menu
But you working full time, there's some tension in you
Your kids see you day to day but still say I miss you
And your spouse sees the pain, but overwhelmed to kiss you
Holding on, cause your purpose lights a fire in you
But to survive, and provide, that 9 to 5 continues
What's legacy, freedom without censorship
To be enlighten by truth, and being witnesses
Always stick to the plan, not living visionless
That's a hope for my kids, know what the mission is
There's a panic day to day that we plan to copy
When there's hope day to day, when we breathing oxy
Only one can take away, the chains that cling, and lock me
That's where hope resides, with strength to overcome, what's rocky
From the sunrise until to the nightfall
A lot is on the mind, but I wanna write yall
As we focus all our time, tryna deal with Life's call
What you know about hope, are you holding down hope
Look for many it's a strain, when it rains, tryna cope
The pain won't go away, entertaining plight's joke
Anticipating change, Can this be my last rope
What you know about hope, are you holding down hope
Cause I'm holding down hope
I'm wiping tears away to pray amidst the chaos
Tomorrow's not promised, while I'm focused on the playoffs
His grace is sufficient, even when my days are way off
Ima mess in desperate need we can call it that
My only hope is in you, so I'm calling back
You never left my side, So that's my follow back
I pray daily, for my sons that they live unique
Overcome the wav, that'll land em boys in the street
I know life is hard, pain we feel is hard to swallow
We embrace day to day, like we're owed tomorrow
To my loved ones, with or without connection
Who will you serve is my question, next is
Day to day, another breath that's Amazing Grace
As we travel in the walk, with enduring faith
I hope you heed this truth, So his light is shining though
There's not enough hype to the phrase. All we need is you
Take this weight off Lord, so I can take off
Daily there is chaos - been sitting here in this lay off
Take this weight off Lord, so I can take off
Daily there is chaos - been sitting here in this lay off
From the sunrise until to the nightfall
A lot is on the mind, but I wanna write yall
As we focus all our time, tryna deal with Life's call
What you know about hope, are you holding down hope
Look for many it's a strain, when it rains, tryna cope
The pain won't go away, entertaining plight's joke
Anticipating change, Can this be my last rope
What you know about hope, are you holding down hope
Cause I'm holding down hope
