J. Reed - The Last Hope [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Hook]
I gotta make it out and move quickly
Can't allow the past to restrict me
Bet this time around they won't skip me
I am the last hope
Don't hesitate, not even for a second
The hustle has become an obsession
I'm on the front line with my weapon
I am the last hope

[Verse 1]
I know that I'm blessed, still I spent a lot of moments depressed
So I try to prepare for the worst and hope for the best
Copping with stress can bring a nigga closer to death
When you feel like you're all alone and got nobody left
Ain't holding my breath, been at it for years and nothing panned out
Shed so many tears I think I ran out
Gave grams out while you were holding your hand out
And never tried to fit in, I'd rather stand out
So thru it all I crawled and never let it show
Back against the wall but I excel under pressure though
Wanna see me fall, they say I'm up on a pedestal
I'm no different than y'all, my cousins are still selling dope
And my momma's still going thru it
And my auntie's sick and showing no improvement
And I'm just tryna hold it together
Cause when it rains it pours, no controlling the weather
Hope you niggas own an umbrella

[Hook]
I gotta make it out and move quickly
Can't allow the past to restrict me
Bet this time around they won't skip me
I am the last hope
Don't hesitate, not even for a second
The hustle has become an obsession
I'm on the front line with my weapon
I am the last hope

[Verse 2]
I just wanna be remembered when I'm dead and gone
Never regret or yawned, and killed every single song I was ever on
Fairly calm but physically I ain't very strong
So if it's on eventually I'll be baring arms
I'm willing to kill 'em if I ain't got a choice
And I'm spittin' for niggas who ain't got a voice
Or any kind of hope, so tell 'em how to cope
When we're in a recession and everybody's broke
Got the weight of the world on my shoulders
Smelling the Folgers but I'm composed like a soldier
Whippin' the Cola to get the Porsche or the Rover
Flippin' them boulders, stay on course 'til it's over
Up in the kitchen with some ice in a bowl
The white on the stove, 'bout to put a price on my soul
Cause when living costs more than the price that it's owed
I'm willing to do whatever just to lighten the load
Never spend a night in the cold

[Hook]
I gotta make it out and move quickly
Can't allow the past to restrict me
Bet this time around they won't skip me
I am the last hope
Don't hesitate, not even for a second
The hustle has become an obsession
I'm on the front line with my weapon
I am the last hope
