Hope

Streets filled with hopeless regret
kids with lives their tring to forget

brothers wasting valuable time 
only to further see their demise

hope is the brother that dosent give up 
to always go strong even through tough

hope is the teenage girl with a baby 
yet even through her tears she earns an education

these streets of misery and lost souls 
are filled with satins red hot coals

Satan loosen your grip from my brothers mind 
so that they will not see your hateful demise
