Alright
Lamar Kendrick Lyrics

Alls my life I has to fight, nigga
I have had to fight for everything in my life

Hard times like, yah
I have faced difficult times

Bad trips like, yah
I have had bad experiences

Nazareth, I'm fucked up
Things are not going well for me

Homie, you fucked up
Things are not going well for my friend either

But if God got us then we gon' be alright
If we have faith in God, we will be okay

Uh, and when I wake up
When I wake up in the morning

I recognize you're lookin' at me for the pay cut
I know you are looking to take money from me

But homicide be looking at you from the face down
Killing someone will only bring you trouble

What MAC-11 even boom with the bass down
A gun is no use without ammunition

Schemin', and let me tell you bout my life
I have faced many challenges in my life

Painkillers only put me in the twilight
Drugs do not solve my problems

Where pretty pussy and Benjamin is the highlight
I am tempted by sex and money

Now tell my mama I love her but this what I like
I am going to do what I want, even if it hurts my mother

Lord knows, twenty of 'em in my Chevy
I have many friends with me in my car

Tell 'em all to come and get me, reapin' everything I sow
I am ready to take the consequences of my actions

So my karma come in heaven, no preliminary hearings on my record
I will face the consequences of my actions in the afterlife

I'm a motherfucking gangster in silence for the record, uh
I am a gangster, and I keep it quiet

Tell the world I know it's too late
I know I have made many mistakes

Boys and girls, I think I've gone cray
I am losing my mind

Drown inside my vices all day
I am drowning in my addictions

Won't you please believe when I say
Please trust me

Wouldn't you know
As you might expect

We been hurt, been down before, nigga
We have been through hard times before

When our pride was low
When we were feeling low

Lookin' at the world like, "Where do we go, nigga?"
Wondering what we should do next

And we hate po-po
We do not like the police

Wanna kill us dead in the street for sure, nigga
The police want to kill us

I'm at the preacher's door
I am seeking guidance from the church

My knees gettin' weak and my gun might blow
I am feeling overwhelmed and tempted to use violence

But we gon' be alright
But everything will be okay

What you want you, a house? You, a car?
What do you want? A house? A car?

40 acres and a mule? A piano, a guitar?
Do you want land, instruments?

Anything, see my name is Lucy, I'm your dog
I will give you anything you want; call me Lucy

Motherfucker, you can live at the mall
You can have anything you want

I can see the evil, I can tell it I know when it's illegal
I can recognize wrongdoing

I don't think about it, I deposit every other zero
I do not worry about money

Thinkin' of my partner put the candy, paint it on the regal
Thinking about my friend who customized his car

Diggin' in my pocket ain't a profit, big enough to feed you
I do not have enough money to take care of you

Everyday my logic, get another dollar just to keep you
Everyday I work to support you

In the presence of your chico, ah
I am with my friend

I don't talk about it, be about it, everyday I see cool
I do not talk about what I am going to do, I just do it

If I got it then you know you got it, Heaven, I can reach you
If I have something, I will share it with you, even if it is in heaven

Pat Dawg, Pat Dawg, Pat Dawg, my dog, that's all
Talking to my friend Pat

Bick back and Chad, I trap the bag for y'all
I will help you get what you need

I rap, I black on track so rest assured
My raps are good, so you should feel confident

My rights, my wrongs, I write 'til I'm right with God
I will keep writing until I am right with God

I keep my head up high
I stay positive

I cross my heart and hope to die
I make a promise

Lovin' me is complicated
I am not easy to love

Too afraid of a lot of changes
I am scared of changes

I'm alright and you're a favorite
I feel good and you are important to me

Dark nights in my prayers
I pray during difficult times

I remembered you was conflicted
I remembered you were unsure

Misusing your influence, sometimes I did the same
Both of us have made mistakes with our power

Abusing my power full of resentment
I have abused my power and feel anger towards others

Resentment that turned into a deep depression
My anger has turned into sadness

Found myself screamin' in the hotel room
I yelled alone in my hotel room

I didn't wanna self destruct, the evils of Lucy was all around me
I did not want to harm myself, but was tempted to by drugs and alcohol

So I went runnin' for answers
I searched for guidance
