Listen
I said we gonna have a good time tonight
This evening I′ma take you, take you there
Say what? It's gon′
Say what? It's gon'
Yo Wale
Take ′em there nigga
You heard knowledge is power
Now you got a masters to show you more
Massive than all them undergraduates
You know you′re so pretentious
You love pretending like your love for
Learning could be applied to this shit
The line for jobs is quite high now isn't it?
His pride diminishes
His pockets gone dry from the loans they was giving him
The world got cold overnight and I didn′t it
Post graduation now just a spokesman for
Unemployed blacks who in Sallie Mae debt
Every day was a Saturday
Shit, ain't nothing changed since the sadder day
Yeah
I know the world gets cold and the days get long
And the sun don′t shine and your mind just wonders
Why me? I said 'cause we number one
That′s why we get up in the morning
It's gon' be alright
It′s gon′ be alright
It's gon′ be alright
Believe that, it's gon′ be alright
Get away from it all he wanted to do
Suicide is easy, he got nothing to prove
Stuck in the pool and it's sucking him in
It′s like a black hole or a fucking abyss
Commit a picture how he bumping his fist
Ain't that a bloody bitch? She wasn't a bloody bitch
She late, her body′s gone tardy
Knowing you was getting by hardly
Knowing you can no longer party
Knowing you′ll be followed by the bills like Hilari
You're falling slowly
As you depart from your homies earlier
You got a baby boy or girl in there
Years back you believed that the world was fair
But now it′s more than clear you see the world is scary
And now the present got you struggling but
Use tomorrow as a mulligan, church
I know the world gets cold and the days get long
And the sun don't shine and your mind just wonders
Why me? I said ′cause we number one
That's why we get up in the morning
It′s gon' be alright
It's gon′ be alright
It′s gon' be alright
Believe that, it′s gon' be alright
Yeah
Aw man, she baby girl been through it
And niggas ain′t shit but you already knew that
It's ′cause of you see, you let him do that
You let him mislead you but money tend to do that
Right, now you see he don't care
Now you finna cut your hair, you waiting to exhale
Looking through your phone but getting your XL
Rebounds slow you down but you gotta excel
See, and now life seem hard
Still looking through your call log like "Did he call yet?"
You get your girl for something tight to borrow
You going to the club though you soaking in sorrow
Heartbroken obviously, there's no tomorrow
When the pressure′s so powerful the hours seem longer
I know it hurt but life′s not perfect
Happiness is hard sometimes you gotta work for it
I know the world gets cold and the days get long
And the sun don't shine and your mind just wonders
Why me? I said ′cause we number one
That's why we get up in the morning
It′s gon' be alright
It′s gon' be alright
It's gon′ be alright
Believe that, it′s gon' be alright
