C-Loc - We Alright Though lyrics

First Verse (Boo): I remember clear as yesterday, way back seventh grade Caught me tryin' to turn my after-age Mama beat me, wasn't no yellin' "Put the belt away" With nothin' else to say Boy you punish the rest, but the weak Even back then, it was hard to stay away, from the streets Me, Trump, and bu*ton, playin' B-Ball When the street lights come on, I gots to see y'all Now when I see y'all, all I see is vivid memories On how it used to be, 'fore you died or turned dope fiend Stuck all alone in this cold World Mom expectation was somethin' greater Now picture me disappointin', my old Girl I'm tryin' to smile just to keep from cryin' But as a child I knew our hopes and dreams was dyin' One day at a time, it's like the blind leadin' the blind Even the preachers lyin', so I blaze a dime to ease my mind Can we shake the trials and tribulations? Even when the money's slow? Want you to know, that it's gone be alright though, fa sho Chorus (uncredited singer): No more rainy days for me I put that on my life Who knows the troubles that I've seen? Day And Night Second Verse (C-Loc): Now Mama's baby, Papa's maybe, ain't that shady? sh** get crazy blowin' a dub sack, askin' where the love at Now how you luv that? Attended third grade as a baby dope fiend At eighteen I'm flippin' birds baby, Big Daddy stay clean Nothin' comes to a dreamer but a dream, get paid n***a Lord knows all the troubles I've seen, day to day n***a Savage style meanwhile heaven-sent With malicious intent Thugs knowin' they sell they souls to pay rent But we alright though, even though we ain't got no lights though Incognito, with steel toys in hand, at the side-shows You feelin' me? Unwillingly? Drug to central booking, wouldn't set me free By k**in' me But now I'm back for lookin' deeds Frequent flashes of alley dashes To Miss Barbara Ann house While me and my clique of thug n***as when the tags hop out Born a** out, livin' life without a clue In route, to an early grave with misconceptions of stayin' true Ya heard me? Chorus (2x) Third Verse (C-Loc): Hey Mama, it's your baby boy, no need to feel shame Just want you to know I love you, never meant to cause pain See that's one thing I love about you, you always maintain Even though life did you a few tears, you just charge it to the game Don't worry Ma, I ain't lose my life in vain This for all the misuse, I see you go through, from workin' at food chains Now correct me if I'm wrong Is it a sin to see your family move on to a better place Cuz you're tired of rainy days? No! You can't tell me that I see frustration in your face, like you been to Hell and back Comin' home from work late, the .38 The dirty way's the only way to bounce back We gone get what we deserve and for them fools it's payback All I ever had was good intentions Oh did I mention? I left a lil' present behind the cabinet in the kitchen Tell my lil' brother I love him Stay strong and wipe your face You know everything alright though, I'm in a better place, ya heard me? Chorus (2x)
