Kendrick Lamar - Alright

Alls my life, I has to fight
Alls my life, I-
Hard times like, "Yah!"
Bad trips like, "Yah!"

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

-, 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

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 - and Benjamin 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
Reaping everything I sow, so my karma coming heavy
No preliminary hearings on my record, I'm a mo- 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 fo sho'
-, 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

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
Mother-, 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 fo sho'
-, 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 of a lot of changes
I'm alright, and you're a favorite
Dark nights in my prayers
