(feat. Dre)





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) 



[Verse 1] 

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 



[Chorus] 

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 2] 

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 



[Chorus] 

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 



[Chorus] 

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)
