Wale

Listen, I said we gonna have a good time tonight

This evening I'ma take it, take it in (be right)

Say what, its gon (be right)

Say what, its gon (be right)

Yo Wale (be right)

Take them there n*gga (be right)


[Verse 1]

You heard knowledge is power,

now you got a masters

to show you more massive then all them undergraduates

you know you so pretentious,

you love pretending like your love for learning

could be applied to this shit

the line for jobs is quite high, no isn't it

his pride diminishes

his pockets gone dry from the loans it was given him

the world got cold overnight now didn't it?

Post graduation now just a spokesman

for unemployed blacks who ain't sadly made it

every day was a Saturday, shit

ain't nothing changed since the sadder day, dig


[Chorus]

I know the world gets cold and the days get long

and the sun don't shine and you mind just wonders

why me, I say it cause we number one

this why we get up in the morning

It's gon be alright (be right)

It's gon be alright (be right)

It's gon be alright (be right)

Believe that

It's gon be alright (be right)



[Verse 2]

Get away, from it all he wanted to do

suicide is easy, he got nothin to prove

stuck in the pool, and its suckin him in

its like a black hole, whole f*cking a bis

come here to picture how he bumping his fist

ain't that a bloody bitch, she wasn't a bloody bitch

she laid, 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 helotry

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 its more declare

you see the world is scary

and now the present got you struggling

but use tomorrow as a mull again, church


[Chorus]

I know the world gets cold and the days get long

and the sun don't shine and you mind just wonders

why me, I say it cause we number one

this why we get up in the morning

It's gon be alright (be right)

It's gon be alright (be right)

It's gon be alright (be right)

Believe that

It's gon be alright (be right)


[Verse 3]

Old man cheat, baby girl been through it

and n*ggas ain't shit but you already knew that

its cause of you, see, you let him do that

you let him a sleaze you, but money tend to do that

right, now you see it on care,

now you finna cut your hair, you waiting to excel

looking through your phone book, couldn't get a cell

rebound 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 tomorrow

you going to the club though, you soaking in sorrow

heartbroken obviously, there's not tomorrow,

when the present so powerful where the hour seem longer

I know it hurt but life's not perfect

happiness is hard sometimes you gotta work for it


[Chorus]

I know the world gets cold and the days get long

and the sun don't shine and you mind just wonders

why me, I say it cause we number one

this why we get up in the morning

It's gon be alright (be right)

It's gon be alright (be right)

It's gon be alright (be right)

Believe that

It's gon be alright (be right)
