Kendrick Lamar - Alright (Music Video) lyrics

I remembered 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 screaming in the hotel room Lucifer was all around So I kept running Until I found my safe haven I was trying to convince myself the stripes I got Making myself realize what my foundation was (In the room, and I run it) But while my loved ones were fighting the continuous war back in the city I was entering a new one A war that was based on apartheid and discrimination Ay on my momma n***a (R.I.P. Pat Dawg) I'mma be the greatest to ever do this sh** On my momma doe like On the dead homies Aye Sounwave turn this sh** up n***a Turn this sh** up Sounwave, turn this sh** up n***a Tell me, who the b**h n***a hatin' on me? Jumping on my dick, but this dick ain't free To Pimp a bu*terfly another cla**ic CD Ghetto lullaby for every one-day MC n***a, now R.I.P My diligence is only meant to write your eulogy [Intro] Alls my life I has to fight, n***a Alls my life I... Hard times like, "God!" Bad trips like, "Yea!"

We gon' be alright [Verse 2] 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**er, 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 little zero 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 My rights, my wrongs; I write 'til I'm right with God [Pre-Chorus] Wouldn't you know We been hurt, been down before n***a, when our pride was low Lookin' at the world like, "Where do we go?" n***a, and we hate po-po Wanna k** us dead in the street fo sho n***a, I'm at the preacher's door My knees gettin' weak, and my gun might blow But we gon' be alright [Chorus] n***a, we gon' be alright n***a, we gon' be alright We gon' be alright Do you hear me, do you feel me? We gon' be alright n***a, we gon' be alright Huh? We gon' be alright n***a, we gon' be alright Do you hear me, do you feel me? We gon' be alright [Outro] 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 [Poem] I remembered 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 screaming in the hotel room I didn't wanna self-destruct The evils of Lucy was all around me So I went running for answers
