Be Alright Lyrics - Pursuit Of Nappyness - Nappy Roots

Imma be alright 

Imma be okay 

Long as I got you 

I got a brighter day 

Imma be alright 

Imma be okay 

Long as I got you 

We gon' find a way...aye, aye, ayyyeee! 

[Buffalo Stille] 

I'm filled with mirth and I'm smilin' 

Find me in a church on Mount Zion 

I used to think I was cursed like "The Shinin'" 

A lot of folks is worse off than I am 

I'm truly blessed no denyin' 

They say do your best, and I'm tryin' 

But sometimes your best just ain't good enough 

You get yourself in a mess, but things lookin' up 

So before they break us, 

We're gonna make it like 40 acres 

People do anything for this paper 

Get a shape up with a sporty taper 

Just so you can look fresher than your next door neighbor 

Make yourself seem major and impress some stranger 

Found Christ and now I got a new lease on life 

You can hate all ya want...IMMA BE ALRIGHT 

Chorus 

[Fish Scales] 

No way in hell I can transcribe this verse lol 

Me and you step out 

The whole hood with us baby 

Ain't nobody left out 

Ain't nobody ????? 

Cuz they know we here to help out 

Ballin' in the spots where our grandparents ?????? 

Man it's a new day, listen to the kids 

Let 'em know it's them we care 'bout 

When I hit the dance floor, tell 'em take the snare out 

Turn the bass up and start a soul train line 

It's a Nappy Roots record, let the whole thing ride 

Still can't believe how the soul train died 

We gon' bring it back like it's "Coltrane Live" 

It's all in a moment's notice, ain't lyin' 

Granny got tears in her eyes, but she ain't cryin' 

It must be the joy that she feel when I rhyme 

At least I'm on TV for somethin' other than crime 

If haters gon' hate me for that then ????? 

Cuz God say I'm cool with him, I'm busy tryin' 

Chorus 

[Skinny DeVille] 

Yo, and we gon' make it through these hard times 

Life has a way of gettin' good when you keep tryin' 

Never givin' up with you think you fallin' behind 

Always on your way up sometimes you have to remind 

Ourself to keep it movin' fast forward, never rewind 

Do what ya gotta in the process, try to be kind 

Try to keep it positive and things will start to rebound 

And sooner than you know it opportunity will peek out 

Get yourself together, keep it cool and never freak out 

Take it one day then the next and haters keep out 

Your business cuz they'll try to stop your motivation, bring down 

Your spirits and your chances for success at the same time 

But not for long, after rain there comes the sunshine 

Take it as a blessin', it can only happen one time 

In ya life, and if it never happens twice take advantage of the day 

Cuz in the end... 

Chorus
