I hope you know I haven't given up
I hope you know your prayers keep me at it when I'm stuck
I hope you never see me as an enemy of luck
And I hope you find a place where blessings huddle up, I hope
I hope you know your daughter's doing fine
I hope you know I'm patient with thе fact that she's divine
Hope you know that I'll bе strong for everyone in line and
I hope we go as far as writing lyrics in the sky, I hope
I hope you never miss me when I'm gone
I hope you never get to hope until your hope is gone
I hope the hopeless nights turn into 10 thousand goals
Get the whole team winning from the belly of the goat, I hope
I hope you know your father was a king
Your mother was a god, and that isn't blaspheming
Hope your honor is sustained when you blind from what you’re seeing
And I hope you will forgive me for being a human being

Hlal’uyazi indima yakho mama (Yonele yonele yonele, yonele) Yele mama
Hlal’uyazi iy’mfundiso zakho (Zonele zonele, zonele zonele) Zonele mama

I hope you all settled up in heaven
I hope you know I had dream when I was 'bout eleven
I know you heard your mother scream 44 11
From the blessing that was deemed anything but pure intention, I hope
I hope I never bow to my mistakes
I hope that you protect me from the now with all it takes
I hope you hear me cry from belly of greats
I'm still waiting to be born from my death and all it aches

I'm hoping all the little things will count
I hope you know my anger is a product of my doubt
See I've been living with it from the day that you departed
Now my inner child is shouting I hope (Let me out, let me out)
I hope you know that I was never perfect
I hope you know that knowing that would make see the serpents
I hope you know I carry all this guilt inside me
And you know I speak on karma till they closed off all the curtains

Hlal’uyazi indima yakho mama (Yonele yonele yonele, yonele) Yele mama
Hlal’uyazi iy’mfundiso zakho (Zonele zonele, zonele zonele) Zonele mama

May the long nights pay off
May your best dreams take off
May the ones you love never do you wrong
May your family stay strong

May the long nights pay off
May your best dreams take off
May the ones you love never do you wrong
May your family stay strong

This is real for me
I know you feel for me
But could you keep it real for me
Reset the world we see, till there’s peace
We don’t give up we try to make it out alive
Not just live, thrive leave room for hope
