[Intro]

(Pew, pew, pew, pew)

(Oh)

Oh, I go to sleep and shake hands with my demons

I wake in the morning, continue to feed em'

I think that I'm losing hope

I know I don't need em'

But day to day, it's getting harder to beat em'

I'm treating this dope like the garden of Eden

I think that I'm losing (Brrr!)


[Chorus]

Hope, hope (Uh)

Hoping to be better than I was yesterday

Hoping to take all this hurt off my résumé

But it just hurts right now (Okay)

If you talk out of line, I'm gonna set you straight

Touch on my family, I'm gonna let it spray (Pew, pew, pew, pew)

You can get hurt right (Now)

Oh, I go to sleep and shake hands with my demons

I wake in the morning, continue to feed em'

I think that I'm losing hope

I know I don't need em'

But day to day, it's getting harder to beat em'

I'm treating this dope like the garden of Eden

I think that I'm losing

Hope, hope


[Verse 1]

Hop on these beats and I float, uh (Brrr!)

Working till I am the goat, uh

Keeping it real till I'm ghost, yeah

Ye-yeah, yeah, ah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Okay, okay

Numbin' myself to the pain

Tears down my face while I sip on this drank

Liquor is starting to taste like my shame

I know that I am to blame

Tryin' to fix it but I am too drained, no

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

Sippin' this poison, I'm feeling like Romeo (Brrr, brrr, brrr!)

Work day and night but these nights getting lonely though

Loved ones around me, I don't think they know me though

They think they know me though

You don't know shit 'bout me (Uh)

You don't know 'bout all the places I be (Okay)

That I moved out at the age of fourteen (Fourteen)

Made rap music in the OTC

Damn nobody d-d-do it like me (Do-d-d-d-do)

'Cause I do it highkey, I know that I'm G (Brrr-brrr-brrr-brrr!)

But still I need


[Chorus]

Hope, hope

Hoping to be better than I was yesterday

Hoping to take all this hurt off my résumé

But it just hurts right now (Okay)

If you talk out of line, I'm gonna set you straight

Touch on my family, I'm gonna let it spray

You can get hurt right (Now)

Oh, I go to sleep and shake hands with my demons

I wake in the morning, continue to feed em'

I think that I'm losing hope

I know I don't need em'

But day to day, it's getting harder to beat em'

I'm treating this dope like the garden of Eden

I think that I'm losing

Hope


[Verse 2]

Ain't no hope with it

All of my vices grow strong when I'm loneliest

Love to be present but love disassociates

But it's been one year since I quit the opiates

Oh-uh, haven't felt better in so long

Never been better, I'm so strong

If I'm not better, I'll hold on, hold on

Gotta hold on

Looking in the mirror and I know that I'm so gone, uh

I don't know where it goes wrong

But I know I haven't felt this good in so long, uh

Even though I know it's so wrong, uh

I keep going when my hope's gone, uh

Hope it don't end with my soul gone, gotta hold on


[Chorus]

Oh, I go to sleep and shake hands with my demons

I wake in the morning, continue to feed em'

I think that I'm losing hope

I know I don't need em'

But day to day, it's getting harder to beat em'

I'm treating this dope like the garden of Eden

I think that I'm losing

Hope
