[Intro]
Alls my life I has to fight, n****
Alls my life I...
Hard times like God
Bad trips like: "God!"
Nazareth, I'm f***** up
Homie you f***** up
But if God got us we then gon' be alright
[Hook: Pharrell Williams]
n****, we gon' be alright
n****, we gon' be alright
We gon' be alright
Do you hear me, do you feel me? We gon' be alright
n****, we gon' be alright
Huh? We gon' be alright
n****, we gon' be alright
Do you hear me, do you feel me? We gon' be alright
[Verse 1]
Uh, and when I wake up
I recognize you're lookin' at me for the pay cut
Behind my side we lookin' 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
What pretty p**** and Benjamin is the highlight
Now tell my mama I love her but this what I like
Lord knows, 20 of 'em in my Chevy
Tell 'em all to come and get me, reapin' everything I sow
So my karma come and Heaven no preliminary hearing
So my record and my m************ gang can stand in silence for the record
Tell the world I know it's too late
The hoes, the girls think I gone crazy
Try and fight my vices all day
Won't you please believe when I say
[Pre-Hook]
When you know, we been hurt, been down before, n****
When my pride was low, lookin' at the world like, "where do we go, n****?"
And we hate Popo, wanna kill us dead in the street for sure, n****
I'm at the preacher's door
My knees gettin' weak and my gun might blow but we gon' be alright
[Hook]
[Verse 2]
What you want, a house or a car
40 acres and a mule, a piano a guitar
Anything, see my name is Lucy, I'm your dog
m*********** you can live at the mall
I can see the evil, I can tell it I know when it's illegal
I don't think about it, I deposit every other 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 see cool
If I got it then you know you got it, Heaven, I can reach you
Pet dog, pet dog, pet dog, my dog thats all
Pick back and chat I shut the back for y'all
I rap, I'm black, on track and rest a**ured
My rights, my wrongs are right till I'm right with God
[Pre-hook + Hook]
[Bridge]
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
[Outro]
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 screamin' in the hotel room
I didn't wanna self destruct, the evils of Lucy was all around me
So I went runnin' for answers
Alls my life I has to fight, n****
Alls my life I...

n****, we gon' be alright
