[00:00.69][Intro]
[00:01.32]Listen
[00:02.46]I said, we gonna have a good time tonight
[00:05.64]This evening, I'ma take you, take you there (Be right)
[00:08.01]Say what? It's gon' (Be right)
[00:11.46]Say what? It's gon' (Be right)
[00:14.67]Yo, Wale (Be right)
[00:17.67]Take 'em there, nigga (Be right)
[00:18.60][Verse 1]
[00:19.62]You heard knowledge is power, now you got a masters
[00:22.35]To show you more massive than all them undergraduates
[00:25.11]You know you so pretentious
[00:27.09]You love pretending like your love for learning could be applied to this shit
[00:30.81]The line for jobs is quite high, now isn't it?
[00:33.30]His pride diminishes
[00:34.47]His pockets gone dry from the loans they was givin' him
[00:36.93]The world got cold overnight, now didn't it?
[00:39.54]Post graduation, now just a spokesman for unemployed blacks who in Sallie Mae debt
[00:44.73]Every day was a Saturday, shit
[00:46.98]Ain't nothing changed, just a sadder day, dig?
[00:48.72][Chorus]
[00:48.99]I know the world gets cold and the days get long and the sun don't shine and your mind just wonders
[00:54.48]Why me? I say it 'cause we number one, it's why we get up in the morning
[00:58.95]It's gon' be alright (Be right)
[01:01.29]It's gon' be alright (Be right)
[01:03.75]It's gon' be alright (Be right)
[01:05.55]Believe that, it's gon' be alright (Be right)
[01:07.41][Verse 2]
[01:08.97]Get away from it, all he wanted to do
[01:11.43]Suicide is easy, he got nothin' to prove
[01:14.19]Stuck in the pool and it's suckin' him in
[01:16.53]It's like a black hole, whole ****ing abyss
[01:19.14]Come here to picture how he bumpin' his fist
[01:21.36]Ain't that a bloody bitch? She wasn't a bloody bitch
[01:23.82]She late, her body's gone tardy
[01:26.01]Knowing you was getting by hardly
[01:27.84]Knowing you can no longer party
[01:29.67]Knowing you'll be followed by the bills like helotry
[01:32.07]You're falling slowly
[01:34.20]As you depart from your homies, earlier
[01:36.63]You got a baby boy or girl in there
[01:38.52]Years back, you believed that the world was fair
[01:40.95]But now it's more than clear
[01:42.21]You see the world is scary
[01:44.07]And now the present got you struggling
[01:45.66]But use tomorrow as a mulligan, church
[01:47.55][Chorus]
[01:47.79]I know the world gets cold and the days get long and the sun don't shine and your mind just wonders
[01:53.22]Why me? I say it 'cause we number one, it's why we get up in the morning
[01:57.72]It's gon' be alright (Be right)
[02:00.09]It's gon' be alright (Be right)
[02:02.52]It's gon' be alright (Be right)
[02:04.26]Believe that, it's gon' be alright (Be right)
[02:06.18][Verse 3]
[02:06.81]Yeah
[02:07.65]All men cheat, baby girl been through it
[02:10.08]And niggas ain't shit, but you already knew that
[02:12.78]It's 'cause of you, see, you let him do that
[02:14.88]You let him mislead you, but money tend to do that
[02:17.37]Right, now you see you don't care
[02:19.71]Now you finna cut your hair, you waiting to excel
[02:22.35]Looking through your phonebook, getting your ex cell
[02:24.60]Rebound slow you down, but you gotta exhale
[02:27.51]See, and now life seem hard
[02:29.55]Still looking through your call log like, "Did he call yet?"
[02:32.37]You get your girlfriend something tight to borrow
[02:34.50]You going to the club, though you soaking in sorrow
[02:37.11]Heartbroken obviously, there's no tomorrow
[02:39.27]When the present so powerful, the hour seem longer
[02:42.15]I know it hurt, but life's not perfect
[02:44.37]Happiness is hard, sometimes, you gotta work for it
[02:46.50][Chorus]
[02:46.74]Yeah, I know the world gets cold and the days get long and the sun don't shine and your mind just wonders
[02:52.05]Why me? I say it 'cause we number one, it's why we get up in the morning
[02:56.49]It's gon' be alright (Be right)
[02:58.86]It's gon' be alright (Be right)
[03:01.29]It's gon' be alright (Be right)
[03:03.12]Believe that, it's gon' be alright (Be right)
[03:04.95][Outro]

[03:11.91]Aha

[03:27.00]I got the kavorka, Jerry
[03:27.51]The kavorka, what is that?
[03:28.68]I'm dangerous
[03:28.98]You know, you're funkifying the whole building
[03:29.91]Keep away, Jerry
[03:30.24]Just keep away
