Everything is alright
I've been through a lot, but I'm fortunate
Feel it comin' from all sides
Heavy is the crown, but I'm passionate
And I know I'll be just fine
Understand the world, what it's saying
I'll be alright
I've been through a lot, but I'm fortunate
Rain showers are brain power
Thunder sparks can darken light, live in the same hour
Live from the main tower, from the same flower as H. Rap
Grew up on concrete where we couldn't escape black
Listen to MCs who made me take they tape back
Rewind, black stars align
Help me define exactly who I am
Know the voice of the lamb, recognize the shepherd
Black panther and leather won't jeopardize the leopard
From where my strength come is the same place I bled hurt
Crossin' the seven is like crossin' the desert
Get ate like dessert 'cause ain't nothin' sweet
You might get a red shirt
I'm so fresh, man, I should be redshirt
Though I'm far from an expert
Master of style 'til my head hurt
My stepfather was a plumber, so I understand pressure
Bustin' the pipes and hustlin' nights
Scuffles and fights, my cousin's advice
Go harder, think smarter, be a martyr for the part of
Society that desires free, freedom ain't to barter
Everything is alright
I've been through a lot, but I'm fortunate
Feel it comin' from all sides
Heavy is the crown, but I'm passionate
And I know I'll be just fine
Understand the world, what it's saying
I'll be alright
I've been through a lot, but I'm fortunate
A time, it'll go our way
Yes, this is the time when we know our way
My mama said, "Baby, you should know Yahweh"
Footprints of the prophet on my soul, I say
Halfway across the bridge, I saw a couple of kids
Who yelled "Black lives," but ain't know where blacks live
It's okay, if you for it, you ain't against
You and your white pickets can help paint the fence
This is knowledge of self-defense, you felt the rinse
Of the brainwash, I hold weight like suspense
Thrillers, this is thriller night, gods and monsters
Odds to conquer, squads with contra, bars and mantras
With my palms up, I ponder
Am I a son of Ghana or the one that squanders?
I'm glad I seen Bianca, she reminded me
No matter how far I go, to keep findin' me
I know that there's work on this earth that's assigned to me
I know that there's a race between, between time and me
I'm locked in, find the key, my mind is free
I took time with me, it took time to see that
Everything is alright
I've been through a lot, but I'm fortunate
Feel it comin' from all sides
Heavy is the crown, but I'm passionate
And I know I'll be just fine
Understand the world, what it's saying
I'll be alright
I've been through a lot, but I'm fortunate
Who I am, who I am, who I am, who I am, who I am
Who I am, who I am, who I am, who I am, who I am, who I am
Who I am, who I am, who I am, who I am, who I am, who I am
Who I am, who I am, who I am, who I am, who I am, who I am
