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, we're the same I'll be alright I've been through a lot, but I'm fortunate Rain showers, brainpower Thunder sparks can dark and light, live in 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 7 is like crossin' a 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 a 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 model 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, we're the same 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 y'all way" Footprints of the prophet on my soul, I'll shade Halfway across the bridge, I saw a couple of kids Who yell, "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 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, we're the same I'll be alright I've been through a lot, but I'm fortunate
