[length: 04:32]
[00:18.09]Jerry: Oh so there’s still hope?
[00:20.34]George: I don’t want hope, hope is killing me. My dream is to become hopeless. When
[00:26.59]You’re hopeless you don’t care, and when you don’t care, that indifference, it makes
[00:31.53]You attractive
[00:32.78]A nigga feelin’ hopeless
[00:38.21]Who am I to change perception?
[00:39.56]If a nigga kill a nigga he’s another statistic
[00:41.45]If his skin’s a little different they gon’ say it was self defense
[00:44.16]Nigga feelin’ hopeless
[00:46.42]Starin’ at the idiom box, riddle me this
[00:48.85]If a killer was a nigga would niggas still really care
[00:50.93]Cause niggas worser than Zimmerman livin’ life everywhere
[00:53.22]Niggas hopeless
[00:55.44]Small niggas with big tools
[00:57.20]Couldn’t get to Harvard, hard work, he hard whipped
[00:59.70]Cause them hardy hah’s and hard nights
[01:01.51]Are hard to live through when you’re hopeless
[01:04.32]What we gotta do to be winnin’?
[01:05.94]Cause all the schools gettin’ closed
[01:07.19]Dribble a little, coach, shootin’ at a foe
[01:08.38]Cause they chargin’ in the hoop, no community center
[01:10.97]My nigga, hopeless
[01:13.05]25 bands, he was shootin’ not a damn givin’
[01:15.70]Cousin threw a couple grand at some dancers
[01:17.63]Throwin’ back their fat ass, is my glasses confused?
[01:19.44]We’re the hopeless
[01:21.56]America’s dream and nightmare in the same being
[01:24.49]Even when being polite here
[01:26.18]Niggas try to bring me down, the life of a pioneer
[01:28.10]Lightyears worth of hopeless
[01:30.59]Celebrities celebratin’ disgust me
[01:32.76]The cerebellum invaded with all these fresh things on
[01:35.14]Watchin’ “Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta” as we speak
[01:37.59]Nigga we hopeless
[01:39.69]Okay… the Steebie show is on
[01:41.53]They said my broad rollin’ weed, now she’s mad at me
[01:43.60]Cuz she seen a scene with Rasheeda baby father
[01:45.76]So you think it’s all hopeless
[01:47.59]Got a pocket full of lint again, but it makes no difference to me
[01:51.27]Fallin’ out with my friends again, but it makes no difference to me
[01:55.19]Goddamn I’m hopeless
[01:56.14]Oh man I’m hopeless
[02:04.50]Got no gas in my tank again, but it makes no difference to me
[02:08.91]Overdraft at the bank again, but it makes no difference to me
[02:12.59]Goddamn I’m hopeless
[02:16.81]Lord knows I’m hopeless
[02:20.82]But still I pray
[02:22.50]Nigga feelin’ hopeless
[02:24.33]Like a Penny with a hole in it
[02:25.85]We as empty as a corazón of a widow
[02:27.70]From a soul that she don’t know when he’s comin’ home
[02:30.13]He don’t got No Limit, hopeless
[02:32.72]What’s a purple heart to a hurt head?
[02:35.16]He done done 12 years, he was told 6
[02:37.32]Prolly go back in a minute, ain’t shit here
[02:39.56]Nigga so hopeless
[02:41.91]Thoughts are ravaging in the whole crib
[02:44.19]Now he post-traumatic and always on the edge
[02:46.45]On the pills, some bills, some kids, one leg
[02:48.68]Nigga so hopeless
[02:51.39]A lot of black cops always clap back
[02:53.15]There’s some foul white cops always on deck
[02:55.24]Playin’ race card, guarantee you’ll make a blackjack
[02:57.44]Nigga so hopeless
[02:59.74]Cause we ain’t ‘posed to ever have shit
[03:02.14]And we ain’t vocal as rap…
[03:04.08]Niggas cause we don’t mope unless we try
[03:06.04]Nigga hopeless
[03:08.71]Look at what I go through to show you
[03:10.87]Niggas respect money, money respect power
[03:12.62]And power, we never give em unless…
[03:14.32]A nigga catch, shoot and dribble
[03:15.64]We the hopeless!
[03:17.86]Nah… you ain’t out here for the culture
[03:19.77]You finna riot… without a purpose
[03:21.69]You ain’t a mothafuckin’ rider, you a fuckin’ token, posin’
[03:23.88]Nigga hopeless
[03:25.92]Of course not literal
[03:26.82]But why complain about the man
[03:28.38]When a nigga with my skin
[03:29.38]The same problems with them I had
[03:30.70]Is out there killin’ niggas too?
[03:32.50]Eat your food, nigga
[03:40.36]
