Hope
Yeah, I'm on my way, I'm comin'
Don't, don't lose faith in me
I know you've been waiting
Hope
Yeah, I'm on my way, I'm comin'
Don't, don't lose faith in me
I know you've been waiting
I know you've been prayin' for my soul
Hope, hope
Thirty years you been draggin' your feet, tellin' me I'm the reason we're stagnant
Thirty years you've been claiming you're honest and promising progress, well, where's it at?
I don't want you to feel like a failure
I know this hurts
But I gave you your chance to deliver
Now it's my turn
Don't get me wrong
Nate, you've had a great run
But it's time to give the people somethin' different
So without further ado, I'd
Like to introduce my
My album (My album)
My album (My album), my album
My album (My album), my album (My album), my album (My album)
My album—
HOPE
[Verse 1: NF]
What's my definition of success? (Of success)
Listening to what your heart says (Your heart says)
Standing up for what you know is (Is)
Right, while everybody else is (Is)
Tucking their tail between their legs (Okay)
What's my definition of success? (Of success)
Creating something no one else can (Else can)
Being brave enough to dream big (Big)
Grinding when you're told to just quit (Quit)
Giving more when you got nothing left (Left)
It's a person that'll take a chance on
Something they were told could never happen
It's a person that can see the bright side
Through the dark times when there ain't one
It's when someone who ain't never had nothin'
Ain't afraid to walk away from more profit
Cause they'd rather do somethin' that they really love and take the pay cut
It's a person that would never waiver
Or change who they are
Just to try to and gain some credibility
So they could feel accepted by a stranger
It's a person that can take the failures in their life and turn them into motivation
It's believing in yourself when no one else does, it's amazing
What a little bit of faith can do if you don't even believe in you
Why would you think or expect anybody else that's around you to?
I done did things that I regret
I done said things I can't take back
Was a lost soul at a crossroad who had no hope, but I changed that
I spent years of my life holdin' on to things I never should've kept, full of hatred
Years of my life carryin' a lot of baggage that I should've walked away from
Years of my life wishin' I was someone different, lookin' for some validation
Years of my life tryna fill the void, pretending I was in—
They get it
[Interlude: Fleurie]
Insidious is blind inception
What's reality with all these questions?
Feels like I missed my alarm and slept in
Slept in
Broken legs, but I chase perfection
These walls are my blank expression
My mind is a home I'm trapped in
And it's lonely inside this—
[Verse 2: NF]
Growing pain's a necessary evil
Difficult to go through, yes, but beneficial
Some would say having a mental breakdown is a negative thing
Which on one hand, I agree with
On the other hand, it was the push I needed
To get help and start the healing process, see
If I'd have never hit rock bottom
Would I be the person that I am today?
I don't believe so
I'm a prime example of what happens when you choose to not accept defeat and face your demons
Took me thirty years to realize that if you wanna get that opportunity
To be the greatest version of yourself, sometimes you got to be someone you're not
To hear the voice of reason
Having kids will make you really take a step back and look in the mirror
At least for me, that's what it did, I
[Part II]
[Outro: NF]
Wake up every day and pick my son up
Hold him in my arms and let him know he's loved (Loved)
Standing by the window, questioning if dad is ever going to show up (Up)
Isn't something he's goin' to have to worry 'bout
Don't get it twisted, that wasn't a shot
Mama, I forgive you
I just don't want him to grow up thinkin' that he'll never be enough
Thirty years of running, thirty years of searchin'
Thirty years of hurting, thirty years of pain
Thirty years of fearful, thirty years of anger
Thirty years of empty, thirty years of shame
Thirty years of broken, thirty years of anguish
Thirty years of hopeless, thirty years of (Hey)
Thirty years of never, thirty years of maybe
Thirty years of later, thirty years of fake
Thirty years of hollow, thirty years of sorrow
Thirty years of darkness, thirty years of (Nate)
Thirty years of baggage, thirty years of sadness
Thirty years of stagnant, thirty years of chains
Thirty years of anxious, thirty years of suffering
Thirty years of torment, thirty years of (Wait)
Thirty years of bitter, thirty years of lonely
Thirty years of pushing everyone away ('Way)
(You'll never evolve) I know I can change
(We are not enough) We are not the same
(You don't have the heart) You don't have the strength
(You don't have the will) You don't have the faith
(You'll never be loved, you'll never be safe
Might as well give up) Not running away
(You don't have the guts) You're the one afraid
(I'm the one in charge)
I'm taking the— (No)
I'm taking the

Sana
Yeah, papunta na ako, comin 'ako
Huwag, huwag mawalan ng pananampalataya sa akin
Alam kong naghihintay ka na
Alam kong nanalangin ka para sa aking kaluluwa
Sana, sana
Tatlumpung taon na ikaw ay draggin 'Ang iyong mga paa, sabihin sa akin ako ang dahilan kung bakit kami ay hindi gumagalaw
Tatlumpung taon na inaangkin mo na ikaw ay matapat at nangangako ng pag -unlad, well, nasaan na ito?
Ayokong makaramdam ka ng isang pagkabigo
Alam kong masakit ito
Ngunit binigyan kita ng iyong pagkakataon na maghatid
Ngayon na ako
Huwag mo akong mali
Nate, nagkaroon ka ng isang mahusay na pagtakbo
Ngunit oras na upang mabigyan ng iba ang mga tao
Kaya nang walang karagdagang ado, gusto ko
Gustong ipakilala ang aking
Ang aking album (My Album)
Ang aking album (My Album), My Album
My Album (My Album), My Album (My Album), My Album (My Album)
Ang aking album—

[Taludtod 1: nf]
Ano ang kahulugan ko sa tagumpay? (Ng tagumpay)
Pakikinig sa sinasabi ng iyong puso (sabi ng iyong puso)
Nakatayo para sa alam mo ay (ay)
Tama, habang ang lahat ay (ay)
Tucking ang kanilang buntot sa pagitan ng kanilang mga binti (okay)
Ano ang kahulugan ko sa tagumpay? (Ng tagumpay)
Lumilikha ng isang bagay na walang ibang makakaya (kung hindi man)
Ang pagiging matapang upang mangarap ng malaki (malaki)
Paggiling kapag sinabihan ka na huminto lamang (huminto)
Nagbibigay ng higit pa kapag wala kang naiwan (kaliwa)
Ito ay isang tao na kukuha ng isang pagkakataon
Isang bagay na sinabi sa kanila ay hindi maaaring mangyari
Ito ay isang tao na maaaring makita ang maliwanag na panig
Sa pamamagitan ng madilim na oras kung wala
Ito ay kapag ang isang tao na hindi kailanman nagkaroon ng nothin '
Hindi natatakot na lumakad palayo sa mas maraming kita
Sanhi mas gugustuhin nilang gawin minsan na mahal nila at kunin ang pay cut
Ito ay isang tao na hindi kailanman mag -alis
O baguhin kung sino sila
Para lamang subukan upang makakuha ng ilang kredibilidad
Kaya maaari silang maramdaman na tinanggap ng isang estranghero
Ito ay isang tao na maaaring kumuha ng mga pagkabigo sa kanilang buhay at gawing motivation
Naniniwala ito sa iyong sarili kapag wala nang ibang tao, kamangha -mangha
Ano ang maaaring gawin ng kaunting pananampalataya kung hindi ka man naniniwala sa iyo
Bakit mo iisipin o asahan ang sinumang nasa paligid mo?
Ginawa ko ang mga bagay na pinagsisisihan ko
Natapos ko na ang mga bagay na hindi ko maibabalik
Ay isang nawalang kaluluwa sa isang sangang -daan na walang pag -asa, ngunit binago ko iyon
Ginugol ko ang mga taon ng aking buhay na humahawak 'sa mga bagay na hindi ko dapat itago, puno ng poot
Taon ng aking buhay dala 'ng maraming bagahe na dapat kong lumakad palayo
Taon ng aking buhay wishin 'Ako ay ibang tao, tumingin' para sa ilang pagpapatunay
Taon ng aking buhay tryna punan ang walang bisa, na nagpapanggap na ako ay nasa—
Nakukuha nila ito
[Interlude: Fleurie]
Ang Insidious ay bulag na pagsisimula
Ano ang katotohanan sa lahat ng mga katanungang ito?
Parang namiss ko ang alarma ko at natulog
Natulog sa
Broken binti, ngunit hinahabol ko ang pagiging perpekto
Ang mga pader na ito ay ang aking blangko na expression
Ang isip ko ay isang bahay na nakulong ako
At nag -iisa ito sa loob nito—
[Taludtod 2: nf]
Ang lumalagong sakit ay isang kinakailangang kasamaan
Mahirap na dumaan, oo, ngunit kapaki -pakinabang
Ang ilan ay sasabihin na ang pagkakaroon ng isang pagkasira ng kaisipan ay isang negatibong bagay
Alin sa isang banda, sumasang -ayon ako
Sa kabilang banda, ito ang push na kailangan ko
Upang makakuha ng tulong at simulan ang proseso ng pagpapagaling, tingnan
Kung hindi ko pa tinamaan ang ilalim ng bato
Ako ba ang magiging taong ako ngayon?
Hindi ako naniniwala
Ako ay isang pangunahing halimbawa ng kung ano ang mangyayari kapag pinili mong hindi tanggapin ang pagkatalo at harapin ang iyong mga demonyo
Kinuha ako ng tatlumpung taon upang mapagtanto na kung nais mong makuha ang pagkakataong iyon
Upang maging pinakadakilang bersyon ng iyong sarili, kung minsan kailangan mong maging isang tao na hindi ka
Upang marinig ang tinig ng pangangatuwiran
Ang pagkakaroon ng mga bata ay gagawa ka talaga ng isang hakbang pabalik at tumingin sa salamin
Kahit papaano para sa akin, iyon ang ginawa nito, ako
[Bahagi II]
[Outro: NF]
Gumising araw -araw at piliin ang aking anak
Hawakan mo siya sa aking mga bisig at ipaalam sa kanya na mahal siya (mahal)
Nakatayo sa tabi ng bintana, pagtatanong kung magpapakita ba si tatay (pataas)
Hindi ba isang bagay na pupunta siya 'upang mag -alala' bout
Huwag itong baluktot, hindi iyon isang pagbaril
Mama, pinatawad kita
Ayaw ko lang na lumaki siyang mag -isip 'na hindi siya magiging sapat
Tatlumpung taong tumatakbo, tatlumpung taon ng paghahanap '
Tatlumpung taon ng pananakit, tatlumpung taong sakit
Tatlumpung taong natatakot, tatlumpung taong galit
Tatlumpung taong walang laman, tatlumpung taong kahihiyan
Tatlumpung taon ng nasira, tatlumpung taon ng paghihirap
Tatlumpung taong walang pag -asa, tatlumpung taon ng (hey)
Tatlumpung taon ng hindi kailanman, tatlumpung taon ng siguro
Tatlumpung taon ng pagkaraan, tatlumpung taon ng pekeng
Tatlumpung taon ng guwang, tatlumpung taon ng kalungkutan
Tatlumpung taong kadiliman, tatlumpung taon ng (Nate)
Tatlumpung taon ng bagahe, tatlumpung taong kalungkutan
Tatlumpung taon ng hindi gumagalaw, tatlumpung taon ng mga tanikala
Tatlumpung taon ng pagkabalisa, tatlumpung taong pagdurusa
Tatlumpung taon ng pagdurusa, tatlumpung taon ng (maghintay)
Tatlumpung taon ng mapait, tatlumpung taon ng malungkot
Tatlumpung taon ng pagtulak sa lahat ('paraan)
(Hindi ka kailanman magbabago) Alam kong maaari akong magbago
(Hindi kami sapat) hindi tayo pareho
(Wala kang puso) Wala kang lakas
(Wala kang kalooban) Wala kang pananampalataya
(Hindi ka kailanman mamahalin, hindi ka magiging ligtas
Maaaring sumuko din) hindi tumatakbo
(Wala kang mga bayag) ikaw ang natatakot
(Ako ang namamahala)
Kinukuha ko ang— (hindi)
Kinukuha ko ang
