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
