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 nigga (be right) 

 
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 

 
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) 

 
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 fucking 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 

 
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 niggas 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 

 
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)
