Higher Hopes (Mr. West)

Wonder why sometimes I idolize
Adding to my list of fears I got it itemized
Maybe I should dumb it down or maybe I should follow sound
Just to put on for my town but then that's compromise
My peers is overdosing daily I can't keep it hush
But they just tryna numb the pain cuz they done seen too much
Traumatized watch a bunch of niggas die right on my iPhone
The next post is shaking ass as I drive home
Desensitized like it ain't real it's synthesize
I ain't surprised the daily shit that hit my eyes
Numbness before we show we care we rather die
It's hard to have a limit when you never satisfied
And I don't think I'm satisfied
But what if I give you I until I'm magnified
Really tryna pacify patience as I Strategize
I'm tryna touch some souls but wait a minute let me sanitize

Thanks to CDC
Social distance pandemic yeah it's only me
Your soul is worth a trillion dollars but you sold it cheap
For a bunch of follows repost and a couple tweets
I pray you value more
Ain't hard to take the easy route I pray you challenge more
I know some people got it all and depressed
Thinking money solve it all no my nigga that's a stretch
Damn

Got me living in this cancel culture
Where everybody think the same it's like we cancelled culture
Tell me how popping pussy equal liberation
Tell how shooting niggas is a celebration
I saw them rappers screaming Black Lives Matter
Hit the studio and make a song about killing niggas after
Supposed to be moving forward that's a hundred steps backwards
Hard to look in the mirror when that mother fucker shattered
Damn that's just the system tho
Homie say it's simulated shit well prolly so
Sometimes this shit is disappointing I had higher hopes
