《The Pessimist(feat. J. Cole)》歌词

[00:00:01] The Pessimist - Wale

[00:00:19] Oh so there's still hope

[00:00:21] I don't want hope hope is killing me

[00:00:25] My dream is to become hopeless

[00:00:27] When you're hopeless you don't care

[00:00:28] And when you don't care that indifference it makes you attractive

[00:00:35] A nigga feelin' hopeless

[00:00:37] Who am I to change perception

[00:00:39] If a nigga kill a nigga he's another statistic

[00:00:41] If his skin's a little different they gon' say it was self defense

[00:00:44] Nigga feelin' hopeless

[00:00:46] Starin' at the idiom box riddle me this

[00:00:48] If a killer was a nigga would niggas still really care

[00:00:51] Cause niggas worser than Zimmerman livin' life everywhere

[00:00:53] Niggas hopeless

[00:00:56] Small niggas with big tools

[00:00:57] Couldn't get to Harvard hard work he hard whipped

[00:00:59] Cause them hardy hah's and hard nights

[00:01:01] Are hard to live through

[00:01:02] When you hopeless

[00:01:04] What we gotta do to be winnin'

[00:01:05] Cause all the schools gettin' closed

[00:01:07] Dribble a little coach shootin' at a foe

[00:01:08] Cause they chargin' them to hoop at community center

[00:01:11] My nigga hopeless

[00:01:13] 25 bands he was shootin' not a damn givin'

[00:01:15] Cousin threw a couple grand at some dancers

[00:01:17] Throwin' back their fat ass is my glasses confused

[00:01:19] We're the hopeless

[00:01:22] America's dream and nightmare in the same being

[00:01:24] Even when being polite here

[00:01:26] Niggas try to bring me down the life of a pioneer

[00:01:28] Lightyears worth of hopeless

[00:01:31] Celebrities celebratin' disgust me

[00:01:33] The cerebellum invaded with all these fresh things on

[00:01:35] Watchin' Love and Hip Hop Atlanta as we speak

[00:01:37] Nigga we hopeless

[00:01:39] Okay the Steebie show is on

[00:01:41] And so my broad rollin' weed now she's mad at me

[00:01:43] Cause she seen a scene with Rasheeda baby father

[00:01:46] Said You niggas all hopeless

[00:01:47] Got a pocket full of lint again but it make no difference to me

[00:01:51] Fallin' out with my friends again but it make no difference to me

[00:01:54] Goddamn I'm hopeless

[00:01:59] Oh man I'm hopeless

[00:02:05] Got no gas in my tank again but it make no difference to me

[00:02:09] Overdraft at the bank again but it make no difference to me

[00:02:12] Goddamn I'm hopeless

[00:02:17] Lord knows I'm hopeless

[00:02:21] Still I pray

[00:02:22] Nigga feelin' hopeless

[00:02:24] Like a Penny with a hole in it

[00:02:26] We as empty as a corazon of a widow

[00:02:28] From a soul that she don't know when he's comin' home

[00:02:30] He don't got no limit hopeless

[00:02:33] What's a purple heart to a hurt head

[00:02:35] He done done 12 years he was told 6

[00:02:37] Prolly go back in a minute ain't shit here

[00:02:39] Nigga so hopeless

[00:02:42] Thoughts are ravaging in the whole crib

[00:02:44] Now he post-traumatic and always on the edge

[00:02:46] On the pills some bills two kids one leg

[00:02:48] Nigga so hopeless

[00:02:51] A lot of black cops always clap back

[00:02:53] And some foul white cops always on deck

[00:02:55] Playin' race card guarantee you'll make a blackjack

[00:02:57] Nigga so hopeless

[00:03:00] Cause we ain't 'posed to ever have shit

[00:03:02] And we ain't vocal as rap

[00:03:04] Niggas cause we don't mope unless we trap hits

[00:03:06] Nigga hopeless

[00:03:09] Look at what I go through to show you

[00:03:11] Niggas respect money money respect power

[00:03:12] And power we never given unless

[00:03:14] A nigga catch shoot or dribble

[00:03:15] We are hopeless

[00:03:17] Nah you ain't out here for the culture

[00:03:19] You finna riot without a purpose

[00:03:21] You ain't a mothaf**kin' rider you a f**kin' token posin'

[00:03:24] Nigga hopeless

[00:03:25] Of course not literal

[00:03:27] But why complain about the man

[00:03:28] When a nigga with my skin

[00:03:29] The same problems with them I had

[00:03:31] Is out there killin' niggas too

[00:03:32] Eat your food nigga

[00:03:51] Got a pocket full of lint again but it make no difference to me

[00:03:56] Fallin' out with my friends again but it make no difference to me

[00:03:59] Goddamn I'm hopeless

[00:04:04] Oh man I'm hopeless

[00:04:09] Got no gas in my tank again but it make no difference to me

[00:04:13] Overdraft at the bank again but it make no difference to me

[00:04:17] Goddamn I'm hopeless

[00:04:21] Lord knows I'm hopeless

[00:04:26] Still I pray
