KENDRICK LAMAR - Alright lyrics

rate me

Ft. Pharrell Williams

(Intro)

Alls my life I has to fight, nigga

Alls my life I, hard times like God

Bad trips like God, Nazareth, I'm fucked up, homie

U fucked up, but if God got us we then gon' be alright

(Hook)

Nigga, we gon' be alright

Nigga, we gon' be alright

We gon' be alright

Do ya hear me, do ya feel me?

We gon' be alright

Nigga, we gon' be alright

Huh? We gon' be alright

Nigga, we gon' be alright

Do ya hear me do ya feel me?

We gon' be alright

(Verse)

Uh, & when I wake up

I recognize you're looking at me fo' the pay cut

Behind my side we looking at ya from the face down

What mac-11 even boom with the bass down

Scheming! & let me tell ya bout my life

Painkillers only put me in the twilight

What pretty pussy & Benjamin is the highlight

Now tell my mama I luv her but this what I like

Lord knows, 20 of 'em in my Chevy

Tell 'em all to come & get me, reaping everythin' I sow

So my karma come & Heaven no preliminary hearin'

So my record & my muthafuckin' gang can stand in silence fo' the record

Tell the world I know it's too late

The hoes, the girls think I gone crazy

Try & fight my vices all day

Won't ya please believe when I say

(Pre-Hook)

When ya know, we been hurt, been down befo', nigga

When my pride was low, looking at the world like, 'where do we go, nigga?'

& we hate Popo, when they kill us dead in the street fo' sure, nigga

I'm at the preacher's door

My knees getting weak & my gun might blow but we gon' be alright

(Hook)

(Verse 2)

What ya want, a house or a car

40 acres & a mule, a piano a guitar

Anythin', see my name is Lucy

I'm yo dawg, muthafucka ya can live at the mall

I can see the evil, I can tell it

I know when its illegal

I don't think about it

I deposit every otha 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 ya

Everyday my logic

Get anotha dolla just to keep ya in the presence of yo chico

I don't talk about it, be about it

Everyday I see cool, if I got it then ya know ya got it

Heaven, I can reach ya

Pet dawg, pet dawg, pet dawg, my dawg that's all

Pick back & chat I shut the back fo' y'all

I rap, I'm black, on track & rest assured

My rights, my wrongs are right till I'm right

(Pre-Hook)

(Hook)

(Bridge)

I keep my head up high, I cross my heart & hope to die

Loving me is complicated

Too afraid, a lot of changes

I'm alright & you're a favorite

Dark nights in my prayers

(Outro)

I remembered ya was conflicted

Misusin' yo influence, sumetimes I did the same

Abusin' my power full of resentment

Resentment that turned into a deep depression

Found myself screaming in the hotel room

I didn't want to self destruct

The evils of Lucy was all around me

So I went running fo' answers
