All's my life, I has to fight, -

All's my life, I

Hard times like, ya

Bad trips like, ya

Nazareth

I'm f- up, homie, you f- up

But if God got us, then we gon' be alright

-, we gon' be alright

-, we gon' be alright

We gon' be alright

Do you hear me? Do you feel me? We gon' be alright (be alright)

-, we gon' be alright

Huh? We gon' be alright

(Nigga) we gon' be alright

Do you hear me? Do you feel me? We gon' be alright

Uh, and when I wake up

I recognize you're looking at me for the pay cut

But homicide be looking 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

Where pretty - Benjamin is the highlight

Now tell my mamma I love her, but this what I like, Lord knows

20 of 'em in my Chevy, tell 'em all to come and get me

Reaping everything I sow, so my karma coming heavy

No preliminary hearings on my record

I'm a - gangster in silence for the record, uh

Tell the world I know it's too late

Boys and girls, I think I've gone cray

Drown inside my vices all day

Won't you please believe when I say

Wouldn't you know

We been hurt, been down before

-, when our pride was low

Lookin' at the world like, "Where do we go?"

-, and we hate po-po

Wanna kill us dead in the street for sure

-, I'm at the preacher's door

My knees gettin' weak, and my gun might blow

But we gon' be alright

-, we gon' be alright

-, we gon' be alright (nigga)

We gon' be alright

Do you hear me? Do you feel me? We gon' be alright

-, we gon' be alright

Huh? We gon' be alright

-, we gon' be alright

Do you hear me? Do you feel me? We gon' be alright

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

40 acres and a mule? A piano? A guitar?

Anything, see my name is Lucy, I'm your dog

Motherf-, you can live at the mall

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

I don't think about it, I deposit every other zero

Thinking of my partner, put the candy, paint it on the Regal

Digging in my pocket, ain't a profit big enough to feed you

Every day 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, every day I sequel

If I got it then you know you got it, Heaven, I can reach you

Pat Dawg, Pat Dawg, Pat Dawg, my dog, that's all

Bick back and Chad, I trap the bag for y'all

I rap, I black on track so rest assured

My rights, my wrongs, I write 'til I'm right with God

Wouldn't you know

We been hurt, been down before

-, when our pride was low

Lookin' at the world like, "Where do we go?"

-, and we hate po-po

Wanna kill us dead in the street for sure

-, I'm at the preacher's door

My knees gettin' weak, and my gun might blow

But we gon' be alright

-, we gon' be alright

-, we gon' be alright

We gon' be alright

Do you hear me? Do you feel me? We gon' be alright

-, we gon' be alright

Huh? We gon' be alright

-, we gon' be alright

Do you hear me? Do you feel me? We gon' be alright

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

I remember 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 a hotel room

I didn't wanna self-destruct

The evils of Lucy was all around me

So I went runnin' for answers
