Be Alright

Lyrics

Imma be alright
 Imma be okay
 Long as I got you
 I got a brighter day
 Imma be alright
 Imma be okay
 Long as I got you
 We gon' find a way... aye, aye, ayyyeee!
 I'm filled with mirth and I'm smilin'
 Find me in a church on Mount Zion
 I used to think I was cursed like "The Shinin'"
 A lot of folks is worse off than I am
 I'm truly blessed no denyin'
 They say do your best, and I'm tryin'
 But sometimes your best just ain't good enough
 You get yourself in a mess, but things lookin' up
 So before they break us,
 We're gonna make it like 40 acres
 People do anything for this paper
 Get a shape up with a sporty taper
 Just so you can look fresher than your next door neighbor
 Make yourself seem major and impress some stranger
 Found Christ and now I got a new lease on life
 You can hate all ya want... IMMA BE ALRIGHT
 No way in hell I can transcribe this verse lol
 Me and you step out
 The whole hood with us baby
 Ain't nobody left out
 Ain't nobody?????
 Cuz they know we here to help out
 Ballin' in the spots where our grandparents??????
 Man it's a new day, listen to the kids
 Let 'em know it's them we care 'bout
 When I hit the dance floor, tell 'em take the snare out
 Turn the bass up and start a soul train line
 It's a Nappy Roots record, let the whole thing ride
 Still can't believe how the soul train died
 We gon' bring it back like it's "Coltrane Live"
 It's all in a moment's notice, ain't lyin'
 Granny got tears in her eyes, but she ain't cryin'
 It must be the joy that she feel when I rhyme
 At least I'm on TV for somethin' other than crime
 If haters gon' hate me for that then?????
 Cuz God say I'm cool with him, I'm busy tryin'
 Yo, and we gon' make it through these hard times
 Life has a way of gettin' good when you keep tryin'
 Never givin' up with you think you fallin' behind
 Always on your way up sometimes you have to remind
 Ourself to keep it movin' fast forward, never rewind
 Do what ya gotta in the process, try to be kind
 Try to keep it positive and things will start to rebound
 And sooner than you know it opportunity will peek out
 Get yourself together, keep it cool and never freak out
 Take it one day then the next and haters keep out
 Your business cuz they'll try to stop your motivation, bring down
 Your spirits and your chances for success at the same time
 But not for long, after rain there comes the sunshine
 Take it as a blessin', it can only happen one time
 In ya life, and if it never happens twice take advantage of the day
 Cuz in the end...
