Alright - triple j Like A Version

[Intro: Kwame]
Alls my life, I has to fight
Alls my life, I...
Hard times like, "Yah!"
Bad trips like, "Yah!"
Nazareth
If I'm fucked up, homie, you fucked up
But if God got us, then we gon' be al-

[Chorus: Kwame]
We gon' be alright
Uh, we gon' be alright
We gon' be alright
Do you hear me, do you feel me? We gon' be al-
We gon' be alright
Uh, we gon' be alright
We gon' be alright
Do you hear me, do you feel me? We gon' be al-

[Verse 1: Kwame]
Uh, and when I wake up
I recognise 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', well, let me tell you 'bout my life
Painkillers only put me in the twilight
Where pretty pussy and Benjamin is the highlight
Now tell my momma I love her, but this what I like, Lord knows
Twenty of 'em in my Chevy, tell 'em all to come and get me
Reaping everything I sow, my karma coming heavy
No preliminary hearings on my record
I'm motherfucking gangster, 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

[Pre-Chorus: Kwame]
Wouldn't you know
We been hurt, been down before
When our pride was low
They were lookin' at the world like, "Where do we go?"
Oh, and we hate po-po
Wanna kill us dead in the street fo sho'
I'm at the preacher's door
My knees gettin' weak, and my gun might blow
But we gon' be al-

[Chorus: Kwame]
We gon' be alright
Now we gon' be alright
We gon' be alright
Do you hear me, do you feel me? We gon' be al-
We gon' be alright
Uh, we gon' be alright
We gon' be alright

[Verse 2: Kwame]
Yeah
What you want you, a house⁠? You, a car?
Forty acres and a mule? A piano, a guitar?
Anything, see my name is Lucy, I'm your dog, woof
Motherfucker, 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, the candy, paint it on the Regal
Digging in my pocket, no 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 till I'm right with God

[Pre-Chorus: Kwame]
We been hurt, been down before
When our pride was low
They were lookin' at the world like, "Where do we go?"
Oh, and we hate po-po
Wanna kill us dead in the street fo sho'
Oh, I'm at the preacher's door
My knees gettin' weak, and my gun might blow
But we gon' be

[Chorus: Kwame]
We gon' be alright
Uh, we gon' be alright
We gon' be alright
Do you hear me, do you feel me? We gon' be al-
We gon' be alright
Uh, now we gon' be alright
We gon' be alright
Do you hear me, do you feel me? We gon' be alright

[Outro: Female Vocalist, Female Vocalist & Kwame]
I keep my head up high
I cross my heart, I hope to die
Lovin' me is complicated
Too afraid of a lot of changes
I'm alright, and you're a favourite
Dark nights in my prayers
