[Intro]
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 furthеr ado, I'd
Like to introduce my
My album my album
HOPE

[Verse 1]
What's my definition of succеss? (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 waver
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 amazin'
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

[Verse 2]
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]
Wake up every day and pick my son up
Hold him in my arms and let him know he's loved
Standing by the window, questioning if dad is ever going to show 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
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
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
Thirty years of bitter, thirty years of lonely
Thirty years of pushing everyone away
(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 taking the
Reins

[innafurman]

Every time someone likes, I listen to this song over again

[sunnylordson]

'When you're happy, you enjoy the music but when you're sad, you undestand the lyrics.'
I’m here for the lyrics

[arnavjosh]

Message to future generations: never forget this man.

[kyliehubbard]

Everybody sleeps differently. I sleep on my back. My brother sleeps on his side. My sister sleeps on her stomach. And the whole world sleeps on NF

[tickledpickle]

As someone who's hit emotional rock bottom, and come back from the brink, just like the song says, almost word for word, I immediately connect with this song. On SO many levels.

[Chinhnguyen]

I can't put my feelings into words
NF: I got you

[elliesdolls]

i’ve been a nf fan since day one and it feels so good to see him forgive his mother for her mistakes and finally move forward without all that pain

[to_good_for_you_lex]

"Thirty years of running, thirty years of searching
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

[peacekings]

This man changing the way we see music. Dedicating songs to different parts of yourself.

[drwburymor]

This song needs to be given to every human being to show them they are not alone. I’m 32 and 3 years sober and hit a huge depression 3 months ago. Nf got me out of it into therapy by speaking for God to my heart. Thank you nf for speaking to the sick and suffering and allowing us to feel a friendship through your music that motivates them to get help. Most importantly I love that I can listen to him with my children that speaks volumes.

[evelinifaletau]

Nf just redefined success for me. Can't express how grateful I am to have found this song at the perfect time.

Recently got accepted into university majoring in something I have zero interest in. I picked the major to please my family/society. Definitely changing that major right after this song ends🙂.
I have pretty bad anger issues and I struggle to let go of grudges. HOPE has made me realise it isn't worth carrying around all the "baggage".
I've always enjoyed listening to NF's music but this song in particular has changed my point of view❤️.
Determined to be a better person.

[chaosandkids.]

This song is so good. NF has been a blessing to the music industry! We’ve needed this music.

[Jadenbell]

NF never curses in his music which is perfectly fine for even kids to watch thats what i like about it and also he just describes some people in the world because he lived somethings other people can relate to because they lived it too.

[Ellie-zquh]

The best song yet of 2023 !!!! So emotional 💙🥰

[JesusLovesYouuu]

I woke up this morning to find this pure gem on my yt page and it’s everything I’ve been needing. I’m starting to get my life in order for once..finally. This is the perfect anthem. Thank you, NF WE LOVE YOU DUDE

[GamerProAnimeLover]

This song gave me the courage to face MY demons. I've also decided to stand up to my bullies when school opens back up. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

[cavemanungelis]

Never heard of him or the song till I just watched AGT.
To hear a man talk to himself in such transparency and vulnerability got my attention.
I hope you find HOPE & FAITH in the ONE who gave you that talent

[ianthompson]

This song is giving me the hope and confidence to get over my alcohol addiction and be a great mother to the little girl in my womb. I can't afford to eat more than half the time, and even when I can because of my chronic health issues (recovering cancer patient, undiagnosed eating disorder, etc) I have to smoke a lil ganja to be hungry and I can't afford that more than half the time either. 2 more months until she's here. I know I got this, it's just so hard and saps all my energy getting by day to day.

[Scott-hvyg]

Ima be 38 next month an this shit hits hard. Thanks NF for ur music an everything you've been doing.

[lorincantos]

This song literally makes me feel so powerful
