The Pessimist Lyrics - The Album About Nothing - Wale

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 you don't care, and when you don't care, that indifference, it makes 

you attractive 

A nigga feelin' hopeless 

Who am I to change perception? 

If a nigga kill a nigga he's another statistic 

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

Nigga feelin' hopeless 

Starin' at the idiom box, riddle me this 

If a killer was a nigga would niggas still really care 

Cause niggas worser than Zimmerman livin' life everywhere 

Niggas hopeless 

Small niggas with big tools 

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

Cause them hardy hah's and hard nights 

Are hard to live through when you're hopeless 

What we gotta do to be winnin'? 

Cause all the schools gettin' closed 

Dribble a little, coach, shootin' at a foe 

Cause they chargin' in the hoop, no community center 

My nigga, hopeless 

25 bands, he was shootin' not a damn givin' 

Cousin threw a couple grand at some dancers 

Throwin' back their fat ass, is my glasses confused? 

We're the hopeless 

America's dream and nightmare in the same being 

Even when being polite here 

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

Lightyears worth of hopeless 

Celebrities celebratin' disgust me 

The cerebellum invaded with all these fresh things on 

Watchin' "Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta" as we speak 

Nigga we hopeless 

Okay... the Steebie show is on 

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

Cuz she seen a scene with Rasheeda baby father 

So you think it's all hopeless 

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

Fallin' out with 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 

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

Goddamn I'm hopeless

NEW SONG: DaBaby - 'Vibez' - LYRICS 

Lord knows I'm hopeless 

But still I pray 

Nigga feelin' hopeless 

Like a Penny with a hole in it 

We as empty as a corazón of a widow 

From a soul that she don't know when he's comin' 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 6 

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

Nigga so hopeless 

Thoughts are ravaging in the whole crib 

Now he post-traumatic and always on the edge 

On the pills, some bills, some kids, one leg 

Nigga so hopeless 

A lot of black cops always clap back 

There's some foul white cops always on deck 

Playin' race card, guarantee you'll make a blackjack 

Nigga so hopeless 

Cause we ain't 'posed to ever have shit 

And we ain't vocal as rap... 

Niggas cause we don't mope unless we try 

Nigga hopeless 

Look at what I go through to show you 

Niggas respect money, money respect power 

And power, we never give em unless... 

A nigga catch, shoot and dribble 

We the hopeless! 

Nah... you ain't out here for the culture 

You finna riot... without a purpose 

You ain't a mothafuckin' rider, you a fuckin' token, posin' 

Nigga hopeless 

Of course not literal 

But why complain about the man 

When a nigga with my skin 

The same problems with them I had 

Is out there killin' niggas too? 

Eat your food, nigga
