The Last Hope

I gotta make it out, or move quickly Can't allow the past to restrict me But 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 Can you imagine the last breath of Christ? The last breath of Christopher Wallace on that faithful night The last step that Martin Luther took as a man I got the power of my world in my hand The microphone brings life or death in the blink of an eye I was born to provoke those born to die I was conceived to beat all odds like Las Vegas T-dot motherfucker, watch the world rape us Greatest strugglers hustle to succeed Cross water smugglers tussle to burn weed It meets that pressure to success in the south Niggas watching what I say magnifying my mouth I never take back talk, I apply the force Hand blistering from many years of holding the torch When the skin rebuilds, it grows tougher than leather So we can keep on hold it forever My name's Kardinall I gotta make it out, or move quickly Can't allow the past to restrict me But 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 Jealousy is something I haven't felt in years There's nobody around for me to be jealous of I bet you do a show in my city and no one cheers Even if you make the music that ladies and fellas love Dawg, I'm incredible fuckin' unforgettable But when it comes to records I will eat it if it's edible They say the futures always foreseen That's why I'm steady getting more money more cream My flow is stuck in the moment that comes before dreams I stay avoiding unlucky like 14 And people get behind and they fight for 'em 'Cause he won't let no other niggas write for 'em And even when it's quite warm The attitude coursing through the veins and my city is an ice storm The name's Drake and I don't take it for granted I can take it you offended 'cause I'm taken advantage man I gotta make it out, or move quickly Can't allow the past to restrict me But 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
