I Hope…Pt. 1 by Mr. Marshall
I hope when you wake up, you don your crown.
Truth of the matter, it’s gettin’ heavy out here.
It’s really goin’ down!
Live like a King, but carry your sword as your nightz fall.
Protect those that you love, even when your back against the wall!
I hope you look every person in the eye when you speakin’.
At least, spiritually you might be reachin’ them.
4 business or pleasure, whatever the reason.
Side note: While you lookin’…
Be aware of your surroundings!!!
Let nuthin’ go under the radar or unnoticed.
Those that got caught lackin, just wasn’t focused.
I hope b4 you speak…
You thinkin’ and at least brushed your teeth!
What you say really do matter.
And if it’s foul, the crowd will scatter!
People out here really livin’ foul.
I hope you wash your hands and use a towel.
Can’t trust the people like you think.
Cuz they can’t look at their reflection over the bathroom sink.
And they shit really do stink!!!
I hope b4 you leave your address, you get fresh.
Never know who you might need 2 impress.
It ain’t the clothes, it’s the man.
But the worth of your character should reflect!
If you feel like a million!
Your standards are through the ceilings!!!
Also, when those bills are piling in…
I hope you’re never on your knees beggin’!
I only got on one knee 2 create a wedding.
Both knees when I’m prayin’ 4 yourz and mine.
Otherwise, be a stand-up person 2 the grind.
Ten toes down, no matter what…
I’ma get mine!
I hope you don’t mind.
You should get yourz!!!
Cuz, when it rains, it pourz!!!
I hope you got your raincoat!
I hope you have a plan A, B & C 4 your future 2 keep you afloat!
I hope…
