Alright
歌詞:
[English]
All's my life, I has to fight, -
All's my life, I
Hard times like, ya
Bad trips like, ya
Nazareth
I'm f- up, homie, you f- up
But if God got us, then we gon' be alright
-, we gon' be alright
-, we gon' be alright
We gon' be alright
Do you hear me? Do you feel me? We gon' be alright (be alright)
-, we gon' be alright
Huh? We gon' be alright
(Nigga) we gon' be alright
Do you hear me? Do you feel me? We gon' be alright
Uh, and when I wake up
I recognize you're looking at me for the pay cut
But homicide be looking at you from the face down
What MAC-11 even boom with the bass down?
Schemin', and let me tell you 'bout my life
Painkillers only put me in the twilight
Where pretty - Benjamin is the highlight
Now tell my mamma I love her, but this what I like, Lord knows
20 of 'em in my Chevy, tell 'em all to come and get me
Reaping everything I sow, so my karma coming heavy
No preliminary hearings on my record
I'm a - gangster in silence for the record, uh
Tell the world I know it's too late
Boys and girls, I think I've gone cray
Drown inside my vices all day
Won't you please believe when I say
Wouldn't you know
We been hurt, been down before
-, when our pride was low
Lookin' at the world like, "Where do we go?"
-, and we hate po-po
Wanna kill us dead in the street for sure
-, I'm at the preacher's door
My knees gettin' weak, and my gun might blow
But we gon' be alright
-, we gon' be alright
-, we gon' be alright (nigga)
We gon' be alright
Do you hear me? Do you feel me? We gon' be alright
-, we gon' be alright
Huh? We gon' be alright
-, we gon' be alright
Do you hear me? Do you feel me? We gon' be alright
What you want? You, a house? You, a car?
40 acres and a mule? A piano? A guitar?
Anything, see my name is Lucy, I'm your dog
Motherf-, you can live at the mall
I can see the evil, I can tell it, I know it's illegal
I don't think about it, I deposit every other zero
Thinking of my partner, put the candy, paint it on the Regal
Digging in my pocket, ain't a profit big enough to feed you
Every day my logic, get another dollar just to keep you
In the presence of your chico, ah!
I don't talk about it, be about it, every day I sequel
If I got it then you know you got it, Heaven, I can reach you
Pat Dawg, Pat Dawg, Pat Dawg, my dog, that's all
Bick back and Chad, I trap the bag for y'all
I rap, I black on track so rest assured
My rights, my wrongs, I write 'til I'm right with God
Wouldn't you know
We been hurt, been down before
-, when our pride was low
Lookin' at the world like, "Where do we go?"
-, and we hate po-po
Wanna kill us dead in the street for sure
-, I'm at the preacher's door
My knees gettin' weak, and my gun might blow
But we gon' be alright
-, we gon' be alright
-, we gon' be alright
We gon' be alright
Do you hear me? Do you feel me? We gon' be alright
-, we gon' be alright
Huh? We gon' be alright
-, we gon' be alright
Do you hear me? Do you feel me? We gon' be alright
I keep my head up high
I cross my heart and hope to die
Lovin' me is complicated
Too afraid, a lot of changes
I'm alright, and you're a favorite
Dark nights in my prayers
I remember you was conflicted
Misusing your influence
Sometimes I did the same
Abusing my power, full of resentment
Resentment that turned into a deep depression
Found myself screamin' in a hotel room
I didn't wanna self-destruct
The evils of Lucy was all around me
So I went runnin' for answers
