[00:00:00] Hope
[00:04:00] I\'m on my way I\'m comin\'
[00:09:00] Don\'t don\'t lose faith in me
[00:14:00] I know you\'ve been waitin\'
[00:19:00] Know you\'ve been prayin\' for my soul
[00:24:00] Hope hope
[00:33:00] Thirty years you been draggin\' your feet
[00:36:00] Tellin\' me I\'m the reason we\'re stagnant
[00:40:00] Thirty years you\'ve been claimin\' you\'re honest and promisin\' progress
[00:45:00] But where\'s it at
[00:47:00] I don\'t want you to feel like a failure
[00:51:00] I know this hurts
[00:55:00] But I gave you your chance to deliver
[00:59:00] Now it\'s my turn
[01:02:00] Don\'t get me wrong Nate you\'ve had a great run
[01:09:00] But it\'s time to give the people somethin\' different
[01:16:00] So without further ado I\'d like to introduce my
[01:23:00] My album my album my album my album
[01:26:00] My album my album my album
[01:29:00] HOPE
[01:31:00] What\'s my definition of success
[01:35:00] Listening to what your heart says
[01:38:00] Standing up for what you know is
[01:40:00] Right while everybody else is
[01:42:00] Tucking their tail between their legs
[01:44:00] Okay
[01:45:00] What\'s my definition of success
[01:47:00] Success
[01:49:00] Creating something no one else can
[01:53:00] Bein\' brave enough to dream big
[01:54:00] Grindin\' when you\'re told to just quit
[01:56:00] Givin\' more when you got nothin\' left
[01:58:00] It\'s a person that\'ll take a chance on
[01:59:00] Somethin\' they were told could never happen
[02:01:00] It\'s a person that can see the bright side
[02:03:00] Through the dark times when there ain\'t one
[02:05:00] It\'s when someone who ain\'t never had nothin\'
[02:07:00] Ain\'t afraid to walk away from more profit
[02:09:00] \'Cause they\'d rather do somethin\' that they really love
[02:11:00] And take the pay cut
[02:12:00] It\'s a person that would never waiver
[02:14:00] Or change who they are
[02:15:00] Just to try to and gain some credibility
[02:17:00] So they could feel accepted by a stranger
[02:19:00] It\'s a person that can take the failures in their life
[02:21:00] And turn them into motivation
[02:23:00] It\'s believing in yourself when no one else does
[02:25:00] It\'s amazing
[02:26:00] What a little bit of faith can do
[02:28:00] If you don\'t even believe in you
[02:30:00] Why would you think or expect anybody else that\'s around you to
[02:33:00] I done did things that I regret
[02:35:00] I done said things I can\'t take back
[02:37:00] Was a lost soul at a cross road who had no hope
[02:40:00] But I changed that
[02:41:00] I spent years of my life holdin\' on to things I never should\'ve kept
[02:44:00] Full of hatred
[02:45:00] Years of my life carryin\' a lot of baggage
[02:47:00] That I should\'ve walked away from
[02:48:00] Years of my life wishin\' I was someone different
[02:50:00] Lookin\' for some validation
[02:52:00] Years of my life tryna fill the void pretending I was in
[02:54:00] They get it
[02:55:00] Growing pain\'s a necessary evil
[02:57:00] Difficult to go through yes but beneficial
[02:59:00] Some would say having a mental breakdown is a negative thing
[03:01:00] Which on one hand I agree with
[03:02:00] On the other hand it was the push I needed
[03:04:00] To get help and start the healing process see
[03:06:00] If I\'d have never hit rock bottom
[03:07:00] Would I be the person that I am today
[03:09:00] I don\'t believe so
[03:09:00] I\'m a prime example of what happens when you
[03:11:00] Choose to not accept defeat and face your demons
[03:13:00] Took me thirty years to realize that if you
[03:15:00] Wanna get the opportunity to be the greatest version of yourself
[03:18:00] Sometimes you got to be someone you\'re not
[03:19:00] To hear the voice of reason
[03:20:00] Having kids will make you really take a step back
[03:22:00] And look in the mirror
[03:23:00] At least for me that\'s what it did I
[03:24:00] Wake up every day and pick my son up
[03:25:00] Hold him in my arms and let him know he\'s loved
[03:27:00] Loved
[03:28:00] Standing by the window questioning if dad is ever going to show up
[03:30:00] Up
[03:31:00] Isn\'t something he\'s goin\' to have to worry \'bout
[03:32:00] Don\'t get it twisted that wasn\'t a shot
[03:34:00] Mama I forgive you
[03:35:00] I just don\'t want him to grow up thinkin\' that he\'ll never be enough
[03:38:00] Thirty years of running thirty years of searching
[03:39:00] Thirty years of hurting thirty years of pain
[03:41:00] Thirty years of fearful thirty years of anger
[03:43:00] Thirty years of empty thirty years of shame
[03:45:00] Thirty years of broken thirty years of anguish
[03:47:00] Thirty years of hopeless thirty years of
[03:48:00] Hey
[03:48:00] Thirty years of never thirty years of maybe
[03:50:00] Thirty years of later thirty years of fake
[03:52:00] Thirty years of hollow thirty years of sorrow
[03:54:00] Thirty years of darkness thirty years of
[03:55:00] Nate
[03:56:00] Thirty years of baggage thirty years of sadness
[03:57:00] Thirty years of stagnant thirty years of chains
[03:59:00] Thirty years of anxious thirty years of suffering
[04:01:00] Thirty years of torment thirty years of
[04:03:00] Wait
[04:03:00] Thirty years of bitter thirty years of lonely
[04:05:00] Thirty years of pushing everyone away
[04:06:00] You\'ll never evolve
[04:07:00] I know I can change
[04:08:00] We are not enough
[04:09:00] We are not the same
[04:10:00] You don\'t have the heart
[04:11:00] You don\'t have the strength
[04:12:00] You don\'t have the will
[04:13:00] You don\'t have the faith
[04:13:00] You\'ll never be loved you\'ll never be safe
[04:15:00] Might as well give up
[04:16:00] Not running away
[04:17:00] You don\'t have the guts
[04:18:00] You\'re the one afraid
[04:19:00] I\'m the one in charge
[04:20:00] I\'m taking the
[04:20:00] No
[04:21:00] I\'m taking the
[04:22:00] Reins
