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 screaming
in a hotel room
Lucifer was all around
So I kept running
Until I found my safe haven
I was trying to convince myself
the stripes I got
Making myself realize
what my foundation was
But while my loved ones
were fighting the continuous war
back in the city
I was entering a new one
A war that was based on
apartheid
and discrimination

"ALRIGHT"
Ay on my momma nigga
I'mma be the greatest
to ever do this shit!
On my momma though like
On the dead homies!
Hey Sounwave turn this shit up nigga!
Turn this shit up!
Sounwave turn this shit up nigga!
Tell me who the bitch nigga
hating on me
Jumping on my dick
but this dick ain't free
To Pimp A Butterfly another classic CD
Ghetto lullaby for every
one they emcee
Blow Blow, Blow Blow
Nigga now RIP
My diligence is only meant
to write your eulogy
Alls my life I has to fight, nigga
Alls my life I...
Hard times like, "God!"
Bad trips like, "Yea!"
Nazareth, I'm fucked up
Homie you fucked up
But if God got us
Then we gon' be alright
Nigga, we gon' be alright
Nigga, we gon' be alright
We gon' be alright
Do you hear me
do you feel me?
We gon' be alright
Nigga, 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 lookin' at
me for the pay cut
But homicide be lookin' 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 pussy and
Benjamin is the highlight
Now tell my momma
I love her but this what I like
Lord knows
20 of 'em in my Chevy,
tell 'em all to come and get me
Reapin' everything I sow,
so my karma come
And heaven no preliminary
hearings on my record
I'm a motherfuckin' gangster
in silence for the record
Uhh
Tell the world I know it's too late
Boys and girls, I think I 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
Nigga, when our pride was low
Lookin' at the world like,
"Where do we go?"
Nigga, and we hate po-po
Wanna kill us dead
in the street fo sho
Nigga, I'm at the preacher's door
My knees gettin' weak,
and my gun might blow
But we gon' be alright
Nigga, we gon' be alright
Nigga, we gon' be alright
We gon' be alright
Do you hear me,
do you feel me?
We gon' be alright
Nigga, 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
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
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 little zero
Thinkin' of my partner,
put the candy, paint it on the Regal
Diggin' in my pocket,
ain't a profit big enough to feed you
Everyday 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, everyday I sequel
If I got it then you know you got it,
heaven, I can reach you
Pet dog, pet dog, pet dog,
my dog, that's all
Pick back and chat,
I trap the back 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
Nigga, when our pride was low
Lookin' at the world like,
"Where do we go?"
Nigga, and we hate po-po
Wanna kill us dead
in the street fo sho
Nigga, I'm at the preacher's door
My knees gettin' weak,
and my gun might blow
But we gon' be alright
Nigga, we gon' be alright
Nigga, we gon' be alright
We gon' be alright
Do you hear me,
do you feel me?
We gon' be alright
Nigga, 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
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 remembered 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 the hotel room
I didn't wanna self-destruct
The evils of Lucy was all around me
So I went runnin' for answers
