Keep Hope Alive lyrics - Rap

by Nick Garcia
(Salt Lake City, Utah, United States)

Keep Hope Alive lyrics

Let me take ya back to when i was just an itty bitty baby
Rockin the cradle in mamas arms
The loose booze headed mutha f*cka known as daddy
Left the night that i was born
Since then mamas been raisin me n sis
Up in this ghetto home all alone
Workin in 3 jobs just to keep us alive
To put food on the table and to turn on the lights

But i remember one night it was 1999
Sittin in the darkness no runnin water no lights
In the next room over i can hear mamas cries
I can almost even see the tears flowin from her eyes

(i hear her prayin)
God please help us give me some advice
Clarify to me what the meaning is of life
Everything i do i fail when i try
I cant care for my kids i cant turn on the lights

God i pray to you tonight wishin hopin to die
I dont wanna go on livin my life
Thats about the time i walked into mamas room
Knelt down by her side mama imma pray with you

God give me some answers i need to know
I wanna help mama no mo pain or sorrow
God please come into the darkness of night
Take the darkness away bring in some light

Looked up into mamas tearful eyes
Mama im here to give you gods reply
Mama god says you gotta let your light shine
Let your light shine let it shine so bright
(But my lord i have no light to let it shine)
Of course you do mama its the light that shines on the inside

Mama god says even though sometimes
Life goes wrong death seems right
When you dont wanna go on livin your life
Just remember to fight hold your head up high

Mama god says you gotta keep hope alive
Dont let it die mama no dont let it die
Mama god says you gotta keep hope alive
Then you'll always come to find that im right their by your side
So dont cry mama dont cry
Dont cry mama please dont cry
Dont cry mama dont cry
Put a smile on your face thank god that we're alive
But dont cry mama dont cry
Dont cry mama please dont cry
Dont cry mama dont cry
Put a smile on your face wipe those tears from your eyes

Chorus
Clouded rainy days (you gotta keep hope alive)
Sunshine come wash away the pain (Dont give up keep ya head up n try)
(x2)
