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

Nada
Da, na putu sam, dolazim
Nemojte, ne gubite vjeru u mene
Znam da ste čekali
Znam da ste se molili za moju dušu
Nada, nada
Trideset godina si povlačio noge, reci mi da sam razlog zbog kojeg stagniramo
Trideset godina tvrdili ste da ste iskreni i obećavajući napredak, pa, gdje je?
Ne želim da se osjećate kao neuspjeh
Znam da ovo boli
Ali dao sam vam priliku za isporuku
Sad je moj red
Nemojte me krivo shvatiti
Nate, imao si sjajan trčanje
Ali vrijeme je da ljudima date nešto drugačije
Dakle, bez daljnjeg divljenja, ja bih
Volim predstaviti moj
Moj album (moj album)
Moj album (moj album), moj album
Moj album (moj album), moj album (moj album), moj album (moj album)
Moj album -
NADA
[Stih 1: NF]
Koja je moja definicija uspjeha? (Uspjeha)
Slušajući ono što vaše srce kaže (vaše srce kaže)
Zalaženje za ono što znate da je (je)
U redu, dok su svi (jesu)
Gutajući rep između nogu (u redu)
Koja je moja definicija uspjeha? (Uspjeha)
Stvarajući nešto što nitko drugi ne može (inače može)
Biti dovoljno hrabar da sanjamo veliko (veliko)
Mljevenje kad vam kaže da samo prestanete (prestanite)
Dajući više kad vam ostane ništa (lijevo)
To je osoba koja će riskirati
Nešto im je rečeno da se nikad ne bi moglo dogoditi
To je osoba koja može vidjeti svijetlu stranu
Kroz tamna vremena kad nema jedno
To je kad netko tko nikad nije imao ništa
Ne boji se udaljiti od više profita
Jer bi radije učinili nešto što stvarno vole i smanjuju plaću
To je osoba koja se nikada ne bi odustala
Ili promijeniti tko su
Samo da pokušam steći određenu vjerodostojnost
Tako su se mogli osjećati prihvaćenom od strane neznanca
To je osoba koja može preuzeti neuspjehe u njihovom životu i pretvoriti ih u motivaciju
Vjeruje u sebe kad nitko drugi ne radi, to je nevjerojatno
Kakva malo vjere može učiniti ako uopće ne vjerujete u sebe
Zašto biste razmišljali ili očekivali bilo koga drugoga što je oko vas?
Učinio sam stvari zbog kojih žalim
Gotovo sam rekao stvari koje ne mogu vratiti
Bila je izgubljena duša na raskrižju koji nije imao nade, ali to sam promijenio
Proveo sam godine svog života držeći se na stvarima koje nikad nisam trebao zadržati, prepun mržnje
Godine mog života nose puno prtljage od koje sam trebao otići
Godine mog života želim da sam netko drugačiji, tražeći neku validaciju
Godine mog života pokušati ispuniti prazninu, pretvarajući se da sam u -
Dobivaju ga
[Interlude: Fleurie]
Insidious je slijep početak
Kakva je stvarnost sa svim tim pitanjima?
Osjećam se kao da sam propustio alarm i spavao
Spavao u
Slomljene noge, ali potjeram savršenstvo
Ti su zidovi moj prazan izraz
Moj um je dom u kojem sam zarobljen
I usamljeno je u ovome -
[Stih 2: NF]
Rastuća bol je nužno zlo
Teško je proći, da, ali korisno
Neki bi rekli da je mentalni slom negativna stvar
S kojim se s jedne strane slažem
S druge strane, to je bio potreban mi je potreban
Da biste dobili pomoć i započeli postupak ozdravljenja, pogledajte
Da nikad nisam udario u dno stijena
Da li bih bila osoba kakva jesam danas?
Ne vjerujem u tako
Ja sam sjajan primjer onoga što se događa kada odlučite ne prihvaćati poraz i suočiti se sa svojim demonima
Trebalo mi je trideset godina da shvatim da ako želite dobiti tu priliku
Biti najveća verzija sebe, ponekad moraš biti netko tko nisi
Čuti glas razuma
Imati djecu natjerat će vas da stvarno napravite korak unatrag i pogledate u ogledalo
Barem za mene, to je i učinio, ja
[II dio]
[OUTRO: NF]
Probudi se svaki dan i podigne sina
Držite ga u naručju i dajte mu do znanja da je voljen (volio)
Stojeći kraj prozora, ispitujući hoće li se tata ikada pojaviti (gore)
Nije li nešto što će se morati brinuti 'BOUT
Nemojte se iskriviti, to nije bio hitac
Mama, oprostim ti
Jednostavno ne želim da odraste misleći da mu nikada neće biti dovoljno
Trideset godina trčanja, trideset godina pretraživanja '
Trideset godina povrijeđene, trideset godina boli
Trideset godina uplašene, trideset godina bijesa
Trideset godina praznih, trideset godina sramote
Trideset godina slomljenih, trideset godina tjeskobe
Trideset godina beznadežnih, trideset godina (hej)
Trideset godina nikad, trideset godina
Trideset godina kasnije, trideset godina lažnog
Trideset godina šuplje, trideset godina tuge
Trideset godina tame, trideset godina (Nate)
Trideset godina prtljage, trideset godina tuge
Trideset godina stagniranih, trideset godina lanca
Trideset godina tjeskobe, trideset godina patnje
Trideset godina muke, trideset godina (pričekajte)
Trideset godina gorke, trideset godina usamljenog
Trideset godina odbacivanja svih ('način)
(Nikad se nećeš razvijati) Znam da se mogu promijeniti
(Nismo dovoljno) nismo isti
(Nemate srce) Nemate snage
(Nemate volju) nemaš vjeru
(Nikad nećeš biti voljen, nikad nećeš biti siguran
Moglo bi se odustati) ne bježati
(Nemate crijeva) Ti se bojiš
(Ja sam ja glavni)
Uzimam - (ne)
Uzimam
