Hope

To every girl who aint never had a daddy and every boy who aint never have a mother
寫給所有沒有父親的女孩和沒有母親的男孩

那些在世界上迷失的漂亮女人似乎想著另一個男人不會愛上她
To that pretty woman lost in the world who seem to think another man wont love her
所有的都只是把話寫下來而不說出來的人是永遠不能避免麻煩的
All the homies locked up in the pen who can never seem to dodge that trouble
