[Verse]
Never pay more than five bucks for lunch
There's always somebody more tired than you on the train
Never sample anything but vinyl, trust me yo (It's not the same)
Being a dick to girls won't help to get you laid
Well, maybe a little bit, but with shades of gray
Don't shave your face in a hurry
Don't be so afraid of change
Tell the people you love that you love 'em
Make music like nobody'll hear it
If you're ever at a wedding and the dance floor is empty (Dance hard motherfucker)
Be fearless
Don't play video games in public
Never take shots at people in private
Don't hate your favorite band for sellin' out of readers even though the club shows are the live-est
Bruce Springsteen is a truth I used to sing on the road when I'd rock you to sleep
Remember people's names when you meet
Nah's the best MC, he just picks shitty beats
A driver's license is a man's most important possession
Be confident in everything that you write
It's not always smart to walk away from a fight
Fuck a early bird, all the best shit happens at night
What you don't say says the most about you as a man
Uncle Six Guns knows better than me
Never drink until you are unaffected
Don't think you're a rebel for smokin' some weed
Jeremy told me I wouldn't know the feeling till it happened, I was scared but I see that it's true
Don't smoke cigarettes
Be nice to your mother
I'll be here as long as I may, the rest is on you
[Chorus]
Hey, you're gonna be alright
Hey, you're gonna be alright
[Verse]
Broke is okay, money's way overrated and the strangest fuckin' weirdos are the nicest
Rule number one, trust your gut no matter what
Rule number two, the best slang and best style are timeless
Don't say somethin' if you don't believe it
Don't believe something just because you hear it
No matter how upset the motherfuckers on the train make you feel, don't ever let 'em break your spirit
Your folks are alright, you might not notice 'til you're older
When you do' you'll recognize the traits they passed down
Put on some real shit
Try not to puke or someone else'll have to clean it, they charge you for that in cabs now
If you ever see Ultramagnetic on wax, cop that
Don't ever feel like you need to be part of the dog pack
No one knows more than those who seen the bottom and clawed back
Nothin' on the internet counts as human contact
New York City don't make you a better person, neither does bein' atheist or vegan
You can be a saint no matter who you pray to, and you can be an asshole no matter what you're eatin'
If you find cash on the ground, it's fair game (Don't feel guilty)
Always take a second to breathe, man
We could write a million stories 'bout how to live your life, but you can tell them better than we can
[Chorus]
Hey, you're gonna be alright
Hey, you're gonna be alright
