I've been looking for some hope, I need that
I've been out here trying to cope, but leave that
I've been looking for some hope, I need that
I've been out here trying to cope, but leave that
I've been looking for some hope, I need that
I've been out here trying to cope, but leave that
I don't care, don't care what you're starting to say
I'm all displaced from the dawn through the night
And I'm trying, oh, I'm trying, oh, I'm trying
To keep myself from a windstorm
From the dark, I know, I know
And I'm trying, oh, I'm trying, oh, I'm trying
I've been looking for some hope, I need that
I've been out here trying to cope, but leave that
I've been looking for some hope, I need that
I've been out here trying to cope, but leave that
I've been looking for some hope, I need that
I've been out here trying to cope, but leave that
I was just a kid, now I'm grown
Lately I've been looking for some hope
Lately I've been feeling so down
I've been out here trying to cope
I was walking down the street in my black skin
Feeling hella proud to be in my black skin
Hey mama, look at me in my black skin
I was killed by the police in my black skin
I've been looking for some hope, I need that
I've been looking for some hope, I need it
I've been out here trying to cope, I need it
I've been looking for some hope, I need it
I've been out here trying to cope, I need it
I've been looking for some hope, I need it
I've been out here trying to cope, I need it
I've been looking for some hope, I need it
I need it
