[Intro]
Alls my life I has to fight, hitta
Alls my life I...
Hard times like, "God!"
Bad trips like, "Yea!"
Nazareth, I'm on one
Homie you on one
But if God got us
Then we gon' be alright
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 1]
Uh, and when I wake up
I recognize you're lookin' at me for the pay cut
But homicide be lookin' at you from the face down
What Mac-11 even boom with the ba** down
Schemin', now let me tell you 'bout my life
Paink**ers only put me in the twilight
Where pretty uh and uh is the highlight
Now tell my momma I love her but this what I like, Lord knows
20 of 'em in my Chevy, tell 'em all to come and get me
Everything I sow, so my karma comim' heavy
Preliminary hearing, so my record
Tell 'em I'm a gangster in silence for the record
Tell the world I know it's too late
Boys and girls, I think I gone cray
Drown inside my vices all day
Won't you please believe when I say
[Pre-Chorus]
Wouldn't you know
We been hurt, been down before
Hitta, when our pride was low
Lookin' at the world like, "Where do we go?"
Hitta, and we hate po-po
Wanna k** us dead in the street fo sho
Hitta, I'm at the preacher's door
My knees gettin'-
My knees gettin' weak, and my gun might blow
But we gon' be alright
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
What you want, you a house, you a car?
A piano, a guitar?
Anything, see my name is Lucy, I'm your dog
You can live at the mall
I can see the evil, I can smell it, I know it's illegal
I don't think about it, I deposit every other
Thinkin' of my partner, put the candy, paint it on the Regal
Diggin' in my pocket, ain't a profit big enough to feed you
Everyday 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, everyday I sequel
If I got it then you know you got it, heaven, I can reach you
Pet dog, pet dog, pet dog, my dog, that's all
Pick back and chat, I trap the back for y'all
I rap, I black on track so rest a**ured
Rights, my wrongs; I write 'til I'm right with God
[Pre-Chorus]
We been hurt, been down before
Hitta, when our pride was low
Lookin' at the world like, "Where do we go?"
Hitta, and we hate po-po
Wanna k** us dead in the street fo sho
Hitta, I'm at the preacher's door
My knees gettin' weak, and my gun might blow
But we gon' be alright
[Chorus]
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
[Break]
Be alright
We gon' be alright
(Give it back)
[Verse 3]
Look I started from the bottom, vodka baby bottle
Mixin' up with Similac, my momma knew I had a problem (Alright)
I was drinkin' for a dollar
Putting quarter pieces in the black Caprice and make it holla (Alright)
No releasing me, I got the beast in me, I gotta
Keep the decency and makin' TNT my product (Alright)
Ever since the C-O-M-P-T-O-innovator, energizer
Inner-city bullet fly 'til that b**h on auto pilot alright! (Alright)
Wooh!
I don't really care about the care abouts (Alright)
All I care about is airin' out ya upper body
When I catch it, when I catch ya walkin' out your parent's house (Alright)
Fourteen years old, I was on road makin' plays homeboy alright! (Alright)
Big K's and my big dogs, never, ever, went stray homeboy alright! (Alright)
