WALE

WALE - The Pessimist lyrics

rate me

Ft. J. Cole

(Intro)

Jerry: Oh so there's still hope?

George: I don't want hope, hope is killing me

My dream is to become hopeless

When you're hopeless ya don't care

And when ya don't care, that indifference

It makes ya attractive

(Verse: Wale)

A nigga feeling hopeless, who am I to change perception?

If a nigga kill a nigga he's anotha statistic

If his skin is a little different they gon' say it was self defense

Nigga feeling hopeless

Staring at the idiom box, riddle me this

If a killer was a nigga would niggas still really care

Cuz niggas worser than Zimmerman living life errywhere

Niggas hopeless, small niggas wit big tools

Couldn't get to Harvard, hard work, he hard whipped

Cuz them hardy hah's and hard nights

Are hard to live thru' when you're hopeless

What we gotta do to be winning?

Cuz all the schools getting closed

Dribble a little, coach, shooting at a foe

Cuz they charging in the hoop, no community center

My nigga, hopeless

25 bands, he was shooting not a damn giving

Cousin threw a couple grand at sum' dancers

Throwing back their fat ass, is my glasses confused?

We're the hopeless

America's dream and nightmare in the same bein'

Even when being polite here

Niggas try to bring me down, the life of a pioneer

Lightyears worth of hopeless, celebrities celebrating disgust me

The cerebellum invaded wit all these fresh things on

Watchin' 'Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta' as we speak, nigga we hopeless

Ok, the Steebie show is on

They said my broad rolling weed, now she's mad at me

Cuz she seen a scene wit Rasheeda baby father

So ya think it's all hopeless

(Hook)

Got a pocket full of lint again, but it makes no difference to me

Falling out wit my friends again, but it makes no difference to me

Goddamn, I'm hopeless, oh man I'm hopeless

Got no gas in my tank again, but it makes no difference to me

Ovadraft at the bank again, but it makes no difference to me

Goddamn I'm hopeless, Lord knows I'm hopeless, but still I pray

(Verse 2: Wale)

Nigga feeling hopeless like a Penny wit a hole in it

We as empty as a corazón of a widow

From a soul that she don't know when he's coming home

He don't got No Limit, hopeless

What's a purple heart to a hurt head?

He done done 12 years, he was told six

Prolly go back in a minute, ain't shit here, nigga so hopeless

Thoughts are ravagin' in the whole crib

Now he post-traumatic and always on the edge

On the pills, sum' bills, sum' kids, one leg, nigga so hopeless

A lot of black cops always clap back

There's sum' foul white cops always on deck

Playing race card, guarantee you'll make a blackjack, nigga so hopeless

Cuz we ain't 'posed to eva have shit & we ain't vocal as rap

Niggas, cuz we don't mope unless we try, nigga hopeless

Look at what I go thru' to show ya

Niggas respect money, money respect power

And power, we neva give em unless

A nigga catch, shoot and dribble, we the hopeless

Nah ya ain't out here fo' the culture

Ya finna riot, without a purpose

Ya ain't a muthafuckin' rider, ya a fucking token, posing

Nigga hopeless, of course not literal

But why complain about the man when a nigga wit my skin

The same problems wit them I had, is out there killing niggas too?

Eat yo food, nigga

(Hook)
