Flow 8tate - High Hopes

Whoo whoo
yeah
I know
yeah
I know I know
I know
Whoo whoo
I know
Shiftin' into 6th
Shiftin' into 6th
I know
I
I know
Whoo
Optimus Prime when I gear down

You want bars?
I got 'em heavy in my possession
Painting pictures in these lines should come with veiwer discretions
Movin' like a rubix, I'm shifting dimensions
If the world's a house of mirrors
I'm out here hunting for my truest reflection
Which is hard, when every picture has the smoothest complexion
Doing my best to stay in the current Instead of moving against it
it's been my newest obsession
Maybe too introspective
Digging up some stuff that feels like its been brew for centuries
Survival mode
Ruining me gently
Misconstrued as a tool to protect me
Like I'll use it eventually
Deep inside the shadow work
Learning how to manage hurt on planet earth
Like everyone's against me and I'm put here to battle worth
In and out the trenches like the pot holes on avonhurst
Analyzing what hasn't worked
If it still hasn't happened, it's something that I havent earned yet
Still working on some shit I haven't learned yet
In this life learning lessons til my ashes in an urn chest

Whoo whoo...I know
I wanna live good, I wanna die broke
All I got is high hopes
From here on out, Who's the hero now
Shift into 6th; hardly steering now
Can you hear me now
Can you hear me out
I'm like Optimus Prime when I'm gearin' down
Gearin' down

I'm sure there's some people that hate me for who I am
Hate me because they can
To some people you're just something they can't stand
That's just the facts of life
It's usually the qualities in you that they lack in life
that got 'em acting like, the facet type
Workin' through the dark
Until I grasp the light
I'm in the state of tryin' to master mind,
Like "how can I be better than my last design?"
I'm learnin' trying to be perfect is for the last in line
I've learned, they've really got us hooked on how we're passing time
To the point that when it drops we're at the back of lines
Just to put it back online
And jack up the prices
All fighting like it's Vice City
Who knew
The world's cutthroat
I didn't think to bring a knife with me
I hate being white
I dont carry all the rights
I carry what is right with me
Seeing through the matrix
I'm in night vision
Shifting my attention to the beauty that my life isn't
That's where they say that you really build on life lesssons

Whoo whoo...I know
I wanna live good, I wanna die broke
All I got is high hopes
From here on out, Who's the hero now
Shift into 6th; hardly steering now
Can you hear me now
Can you hear me out
I'm like Optimus Prime when I'm gearin' down
Gearin' down
Down down down
Whoo whoo...I know
I wanna live good, I wanna die broke
All I got is high hopes
From here on out, Who's the hero now
Shift into 6th; hardly steering now
Can you hear me now
Can you hear me out
I'm like Optimus Prime when I'm gearin' down
Gearin' down
