I made it in time you guys!   

I know this bear market has been brutal!  and it's been tough on a lot of us.  

Today, for Hive Open Mic week #143, I'd like to spread a word of Hope through my original song titled "Hive Gives Us Hope"

I hope you find these lyrics inspiring, but most of all I hope you have a bit of a laugh, because I sure had fun making this song for you.

If you'd like to sing along, the lyrics go like this:

**VERSE 1**
*I lost a sh*t ton of money in this bear market y’all*
*I put it all on Monkey NFT Art*
*Everybody told me I should get a job*
*You got to know I got a rebel heart*
==============================
**CHORUS**
*There’s still hope!*
*There’s still hope!*
==============================
**VERSE 2**
*I found a blockchain that ain’t about hyping memes*
*It’s about building a community*
*scalable, fast and free for you and me*
*built decentralized technology*
==============================
**Chorus**
*Yeah, There’s still hope!*
*there’s still hope*
==============================
**VERSE 3**
*yeah I can buy you wine; I can buy you beer*
*exchange of value is done Peer to Peer*
*you truly own your account*
*You truly own your keys*
*just write them with with pen & paper*
*and hide them if you please*

_____
As you might have been able to tell from a previous video I posted working in the studio, I've been working on this song since yesterday, but I wasn't happy with the lyrics for the hook

*I'm still on HIVE yeah*
*It's a bear market*
*I'm going to stay here*
*and keep on building*

 It just didn't click for me.

 So I decided to take a break and try again after a good night's sleep.

I somehow came up with something last minute, but that's what made it even more fun haha!

stay awesome!

stay positive!

WAGMI my frens!!
