Sal's Greenhouse - Hope Lyrics

No hope no hope
When it's cold in the city
Baby's been lost and abused
Been told been told
You never take pity
'Til you lived a day in her shoes
Won't track her down
Only trail is her track marks
Carving her name
She's on the move
I'm a preach for hope when it's cold in the city
Cause it's been long overdue

Won't give up hope
Won't take me down
Do do do city
Gonna get back up when I hit the ground
Do do do city
No I won't give up hope
Won't take me down
Do do do city
No I won't back down

No hope no hope
When it's cold in the city
Hunger gon' mess with your mind
White collar don't care
If you can't feed your babies
You're just in the way of his grind
Been told been told
There's a cry in the key of a hungry tune
I'm a pray for hope when it's cold in the city
Cause it's been long overdue

Won't give up hope
Won't take me down
Do do do city
Gonna get back up when I hit the ground
Do do do city
No I won't give up hope
Won't take me down
Do do do city
No I won't back down

No hope no hope
When it's cold in the city
Poverty and crime it ain't right
Take a long good look in the face of your fortune
Tell me, do you sleep good at night
Been told been told
Tell somebody there's a lot more work to do
I'm a pray for hope when it's cold in the city
Cause it's been long overdue

Won't give up hope
Won't take me down
Do do do city
Gonna get back up when I hit the ground yeah
Do do do city
I won't give up hope
Won't take me down
Do do do city
Gonna get back up when I hit the ground
Do do do city
No I won't give up hope
Won't take me down
Do do do city
Gonna get back up when I hit the ground
Do do do city
No I won't give up hope
Won't take me down
Do do do city
No I won't back down
