## Lyrics

**Lyrics**
[Hook]

Ain't no sense to bitch about it

'Cause you all know what's gone wrong

Late at night, when you're in your bed

The bad don't seem so wrong

No sense to bitch about it

'Cause you all know what's gone wrong

Late at night, when you're in your bed

The bad don't seem so wrong

No sense to bitch about it

'Cause you all know what's gone wrong

Late at night, when you're in your bed

The bad don't seem so wrong

[Verse 1: Lupe Fiasco]

Tryin' to justify the violence, reconcile in silence

Dress it up in fancy clothes, wash it down with diamonds

Drown it out with music, act like they don't apply to you

Look how wobbly the rules is, you probly could improve if

You was in charge, maybe runnin' thangs

You was involved things would be different

Maybe you could make a difference

Or probably not and things would stay the same

And you go to sleep at night, knowin' things will never change

Wake up in the mornin' and you feelin kinda strange

Don't remember last night, so you back at it again

Turn back up your music, put back on your chains

Fasten on your watch and slide on all your rings

Put back on your glasses that block out all the pain

Hit yo n\*\*\*as on the phone, and tell 'em that it's on (Tell 'em that it's on)

[Hook]

Late at night, when you're in your bed

The bad don't seem so wrong

Ain't no sense to bitch about it

'Cause you all know what's gone wrong

Late at night, when you're in your bed

The bad don't seem so wrong

No sense to bitch about it

'Cause you all know what's gone wrong

Late at night, when you're in your bed

The bad don't seem so wrong

[Verse 2: Trae]

Destined to be a winner, tryin' to pick up where the rest lose

Prayin' to the Father, tryin' to figure out your next move

Pain across your face and still you wear it like your best shoes

But yet, you no accept it, 'cause it just might be your best news

Nothin' taken for granted, still you searchin' for an answer

Your fightin' to be sane, your momma fightin' with cancer

Father ain't around, so now you gotta be the man, now

Tomorrow ain't ever promised so you gotta take a stand now

Hard times seem to be the only thing you understand

Fuck seein' a mil, you tryin' to make it to a couple grand

Even with a couple grand, you gotta try to make it last

You ridin' for the fam knowin' the Devil tryin' to make ya crash

You gotta hold on, homie, if you only knew

Never quit, knowin' somebody doin' worse than you

[Hook]

Late at night, when you're in your bed

The bad don't seem so wrong

No sense to bitch about it

'Cause you all know what's gone wrong

Late at night, when you're in your bed

The bad don't seem so wrong

Ain't sense to bitch about it

'Cause you all know what's gone wrong

Late at night, when you're in your bed

The bad don't seem so wrong

[Verse 3: Trae]

You on the only road to give up, strugglin' where your heart at

Though death is where you end up, they tell me that's where we start at

Either way, you gon' make 'em remember you

Just pray you don't get stuck in homicide for that interview

You ended up in tears when all you wanted was a smile (All the while)

Lookin' for hope you end up losin' as a child

Realizin' nothin' helps to take the the pain away

'Cause if it was somethin' that numb away the feelin'

You'd pray to God to situate a day, it's hard to keep it, stand up

You're leanin' on your last leg, the pressure tryin' to weigh in

You just ran out your last bread

Window of opportunity feelin' like it just shut more, they tell you to be thankful

Your response for 'em is "what for?"

It seem like everybody else in a better position

Only thing else left to do is open up your ears and listen

[Hook]

Late at night, when you're in your bed

The bad don't seem so wrong

No sense to bitch about it

'Cause you all know what's gone wrong

Late at night, when you're in your bed

The bad don't seem so wrong

Ain't sense to bitch about it

'Cause you all know what's gone wrong

Late at night, when you're in your bed

The bad don't seem so wrong

Ain't sense to bitch about it

'Cause you all know what's gone wrong

Late at night, when you're in your bed

The bad don't seem so wrong

So damn wrong, so damn wrong
