Cliché (feat. Ari Lennox & Boogie)

Ari Lennox：

Mama told me life's not fair

So cliche advice right there

The time we wasted time we lost

So we don't even try

Mama told me life's not fair

So cliche advice right there

The time we wasted time we lost

So we don't even try

Wale：

What if love is nothing more than a fairy tale

I care and all but I'm fearing this here a carousel to me

I'm here and gone to you hear my songs playing

We get on and off like we horizontally horse-playing

You need somebody with some patience shorty yeah

I need somebody that hate to party uh

You need somebody that's less busy

I need a woman that's praying for me but hesitate to call me

I'm hot cold the doctor calling that bipolar

Ha that's undersold she rock with me she got five boyfriends

I can't explain my brain think in multiple colors

Though all of 'em dull when anxiety rival my depression

Wale：

Mama told me life's not fair

All these girls ain't right right here

When it's dark I need some time alone

So she won't see me cry or lie

Ari Lennox：

Mama told me life's not fair

So cliche advice right there

The time we wasted time we lost

So we don't even try

Mama told me life's not fair

So cliche advice right there

The time we wasted time we lost

So we don't even try

Don't even try

Boogie：

Steep is the climb you won't even leave me a line uh

Greedy is pride you gon' eat me alive uh

Sweeter the pie the more sprinkled with lies uh

By any means you give me means to survive

We got s**t that we should speak about

'Bout how you started f**king

Yeah we gon bleep it out

I sit and think about just how the right path could be the wrong direction

But falling back is progress it's all about perspective

I'm saying though I am too selfish to leave you all that I got uh

That s**t harder than mending s**t with my pops uh

That s**t harder than women giving out props

And n***as hitting at cops who bought the cap that you copped

'Cause you way different when you're solo

You seem happy in your photos

I'm way different 'round my bro-bros

I guess it's places we just won't go won't go

Ari Lennox：

Mama told me life's not fair

So cliche advice right there

The time we wasted time we lost

So we don't even try

Mama told me life's not fair

So cliche advice right there

The time we wasted time we lost

So we don't even try

Don't even try

Ari Lennox：

Oh don't even try

'Cause your mom did a number on you babe

I don't know if I can ease it yeah

Your mama did a number on you baby

I know you're tired of this hey yeah

Oh you're tired
