Alright
Alright it's alright it's alright
Alright it's alright it's alright
Alright it's alright it's alright
I remember hearin' news
Life no longer with the dude
People askin' how you doin'
Tired of the interviews
Tired of actin' like
Everything's ok
Why should I have to lie
I'd rather just go away
Instead of just half the price
Rather give my whole self
At times just want see me
Don't need nobody else
How can I be me
When you knew how I should build
I'd hoped that you'd see me
Get better with the skills
And rise up upon a shelf
That Illmatic tape that you first gave
Changed my whole life on the first day
I know that's when my art took its first shape
And you were always there with the words on my worst day
I hate a lotta the things you did
Cherish everything you said
Before I told you how I forgave
Gone already and hit that bed
Sleep forever, z's forever
Teenage boy who'd see endeavors
Loves lost ladies sleep on Perris
I've grown much now I'm sleeping better
Don't need the cheddar to make me cheese
Need together the family tree
Stitch on leather just where I'd bleed
Still on a stretcher I don't feel free
Been at my wits end lost all hope
Somehow a voice still spoke
Tellin' all I should know
It's alright
Alright it's alright it's alright
Alright it's alright it's alright
Alright it's alright it's alright
I'm alright
Alright I'm alright I'm alright
Alright I'm alright I'm alright
Alright I'm alright I'm alright
I thought we'd be together
Forever through rainy days
Now I never see you
Somehow I am still amazed
This is how we turned out
We used to speak everyday
I remember hearin' news
Life had almost lost the dude
Fast forward seein' you
Tied up breathin' with the tubes
Impossible life shot
Unreal scenario
I know I've handled doubt but
This was too scary though
Is this a cycle?
Something like merry go
Ya loved ones just might go
But who knows just when they go
What needs revival
And what needs a burial?
I've heard too many lies
They said you would never grow but now you're alright
Alright you're alright you're alright
Alright you're alright you're alright
Alright you're alright you're alright
Alright
Alright I'm alright I'm alright
Alright I'm alright I'm alright
Alright I'm alright I'm alright
