The Pessimist - Wale[00:00:01]
Oh so there's still hope[00:00:19]
I don't want hope hope is killing me[00:00:21]
My dream is to become hopeless[00:00:25]
When you're hopeless you don't care[00:00:27]
And when you don't care that indifference it makes you attractive[00:00:28]
A nigga feelin' hopeless[00:00:35]
Who am I to change perception[00:00:37]
If a nigga kill a nigga he's another statistic[00:00:39]
If his skin's a little different they gon' say it was self defense[00:00:41]
Nigga feelin' hopeless[00:00:44]
Starin' at the idiom box riddle me this[00:00:46]
If a killer was a nigga would niggas still really care[00:00:48]
Cause niggas worser than Zimmerman livin' life everywhere[00:00:51]
Niggas hopeless[00:00:53]
Small niggas with big tools[00:00:56]
Couldn't get to Harvard hard work he hard whipped[00:00:57]
Cause them hardy hah's and hard nights[00:00:59]
Are hard to live through[00:01:01]
When you hopeless[00:01:02]
What we gotta do to be winnin'[00:01:04]
Cause all the schools gettin' closed[00:01:05]
Dribble a little coach shootin' at a foe[00:01:07]
Cause they chargin' them to hoop at community center[00:01:08]
My nigga hopeless[00:01:11]
25 bands he was shootin' not a damn givin'[00:01:13]
Cousin threw a couple grand at some dancers[00:01:15]
Throwin' back their fat ass is my glasses confused[00:01:17]
We're the hopeless[00:01:19]
America's dream and nightmare in the same being[00:01:22]
Even when being polite here[00:01:24]
Niggas try to bring me down the life of a pioneer[00:01:26]
Lightyears worth of hopeless[00:01:28]
Celebrities celebratin' disgust me[00:01:31]
The cerebellum invaded with all these fresh things on[00:01:33]
Watchin' Love and Hip Hop Atlanta as we speak[00:01:35]
Nigga we hopeless[00:01:37]
Okay the Steebie show is on[00:01:39]
And so my broad rollin' weed now she's mad at me[00:01:41]
Cause she seen a scene with Rasheeda baby father[00:01:43]
Said You niggas all hopeless[00:01:46]
Got a pocket full of lint again but it make no difference to me[00:01:47]
Fallin' out with my friends again but it make no difference to me[00:01:51]
Goddamn I'm hopeless[00:01:54]
Oh man I'm hopeless[00:01:59]
Got no gas in my tank again but it make no difference to me[00:02:05]
Overdraft at the bank again but it make no difference to me[00:02:09]
Goddamn I'm hopeless[00:02:12]
Lord knows I'm hopeless[00:02:17]
Still I pray[00:02:21]
Nigga feelin' hopeless[00:02:22]
Like a Penny with a hole in it[00:02:24]
We as empty as a corazon of a widow[00:02:26]
From a soul that she don't know when he's comin' home[00:02:28]
He don't got no limit hopeless[00:02:30]
What's a purple heart to a hurt head[00:02:33]
He done done 12 years he was told 6[00:02:35]
Prolly go back in a minute ain't shit here[00:02:37]
Nigga so hopeless[00:02:39]
Thoughts are ravaging in the whole crib[00:02:42]
Now he post-traumatic and always on the edge[00:02:44]
On the pills some bills two kids one leg[00:02:46]
Nigga so hopeless[00:02:48]
A lot of black cops always clap back[00:02:51]
And some foul white cops always on deck[00:02:53]
Playin' race card guarantee you'll make a blackjack[00:02:55]
Nigga so hopeless[00:02:57]
Cause we ain't 'posed to ever have shit[00:03:00]
And we ain't vocal as rap[00:03:02]
Niggas cause we don't mope unless we trap hits[00:03:04]
Nigga hopeless[00:03:06]
Look at what I go through to show you[00:03:09]
Niggas respect money money respect power[00:03:11]
And power we never given unless[00:03:12]
A nigga catch shoot or dribble[00:03:14]
We are hopeless[00:03:15]
Nah you ain't out here for the culture[00:03:17]
You finna riot without a purpose[00:03:19]
You ain't a mothaf**kin' rider you a f**kin' token posin'[00:03:21]
Nigga hopeless[00:03:24]
Of course not literal[00:03:25]
But why complain about the man[00:03:27]
When a nigga with my skin[00:03:28]
The same problems with them I had[00:03:29]
Is out there killin' niggas too[00:03:31]
Eat your food nigga[00:03:32]
Got a pocket full of lint again but it make no difference to me[00:03:51]
Fallin' out with my friends again but it make no difference to me[00:03:56]
Goddamn I'm hopeless[00:03:59]
Oh man I'm hopeless[00:04:04]
Got no gas in my tank again but it make no difference to me[00:04:09]
Overdraft at the bank again but it make no difference to me[00:04:13]
Goddamn I'm hopeless[00:04:17]
Lord knows I'm hopeless[00:04:21]
Still I pray[00:04:26]
