Hope is a track performed by American rapper Twista, featured on the 2005 Coach Carter album. The chorus includes vocals from singer Faith Evans, and the song conveys Twista's viewpoint regarding the War on Terrorism. Faith Evans' rendition is also found on her album The First Lady. Initially released to US rhythmic and urban stations on November 22, 2004, the original version from Twista's Kamikaze album features CeeLo Green instead of Evans.

Music video

The official music video incorporates footage from Coach Carter alongside animated graphics inspired by tattoo art that morph into tangible objects—for example, a tattoo on a man's arm turning into an actual image. It also showcases scenes with film characters, including appearances by Samuel L. Jackson.

Cover versions

A remix called "I Wish" was produced by Chamillionaire. Nearly a decade after the initial release, on May 18, 2014, the track climbed back onto the UK Singles Chart, reaching position 39. This resurgence followed a performance by Bars and Melody on Britain's Got Talent. Subsequently, the duo issued their rendition under the new title "Hopeful" as their first official single.
