Kendrick Lamar - Alright

  • 0:31 - 0:36
    I remember you was conflicted,
    misusing your influence
  • 0:38 - 0:41
    Sometimes, I did the same
  • 0:44 - 0:46
    Abusing my power, full of resentment
  • 0:48 - 0:51
    Resentment that turned
    into a deep depression
  • 0:52 - 0:54
    Found myself screaming
    in a hotel room
  • 0:57 - 0:59
    Lucifer was all around
  • 1:02 - 1:03
    So I kept running
  • 1:07 - 1:08
    Until I found my safe haven
  • 1:10 - 1:12
    I was trying to convince myself
    the stripes I got
  • 1:15 - 1:17
    Making myself realize
    what my foundation was
  • 1:30 - 1:33
    But while my loved ones
    were fighting the continuous war
  • 1:33 - 1:34
    back in the city
  • 1:35 - 1:36
    I was entering a new one
  • 1:37 - 1:40
    A war that was based on
    apartheid
  • 1:40 - 1:42
    and discrimination
  • 1:50 - 1:52
    "Kendrick Lamar"
  • 1:52 - 1:54
    "ALRIGHT"
  • 2:03 - 2:04

    to ever do this shit!

    hating on me

    Jumping on my dick
    but this dick ain't free
  • 2:26 - 2:29
    To Pimp A Butterfly another classic CD
  • 2:29 - 2:31
    Ghetto lullaby for every
    one they emcee
  • 2:31 - 2:33
    Blow Blow, Blow Blow
  • 2:33 - 2:34
    Nigga now RIP
  • 2:34 - 2:36
    My diligence is only meant
    to write your eulogy
  • 2:44 - 2:47
    Alls my life I has to fight, nigga
  • 2:48 - 2:49
    Alls my life I...
  • 2:50 - 2:52
    Hard times like, "God!"
  • 2:52 - 2:54
    Bad trips like, "Yea!"
  • 2:55 - 2:56
    Nazareth, I'm fucked up
  • 2:56 - 2:57
    Homie you fucked up
  • 2:57 - 2:59
    But if God got us
  • 2:59 - 3:00
    Then we gon' be alright

    me for the pay cut
  • 3:21 - 3:23
    But homicide be lookin' at
    you from the face down
  • 3:24 - 3:26

    with the bass down
  • 3:26 - 3:28
    Schemin', and let me
    tell you 'bout my life
  • 3:28 - 3:30
    Painkillers only put
    me in the twilight
  • 3:30 - 3:32
    Where pretty pussy and
    Benjamin is the highlight
  • 3:32 - 3:34
    Now tell my momma
    I love her but this what I like
  • 3:34 - 3:36
    Lord knows
    20 of 'em in my Chevy,
  • 3:36 - 3:37
    tell 'em all to come and get me
  • 3:37 - 3:39
    Reapin' everything I sow,
    so my karma come
  • 3:39 - 3:41
    And heaven no preliminary
    hearings on my record
  • 3:41 - 3:43
    I'm a motherfuckin' gangster
    in silence for the record
  • 3:43 - 3:44
    Uhh
  • 3:44 - 3:46
    Tell the world I know it's too late
  • 3:46 - 3:48
    Boys and girls, I think I gone cray
  • 3:48 - 3:50
    Drown inside my vices all day
  • 3:50 - 3:52
    Won't you please believe when I say
  • 3:52 - 3:53
    Wouldn't you know
  • 3:53 - 3:55
    We been hurt, been down before
  • 3:56 - 3:58
    Nigga, when our pride was low
  • 3:58 - 4:00
    Lookin' at the world like,
    "Where do we go?"
  • 4:00 - 4:02
    Nigga, and we hate po-po
  • 4:02 - 4:04
    Wanna kill us dead
    in the street fo sho
  • 4:04 - 4:06
    Nigga, I'm at the preacher's door
  • 4:06 - 4:08
    My knees gettin' weak,
    and my gun might blow
  • 4:08 - 4:10
    But we gon' be alright
  • 4:10 - 4:12
    Nigga, we gon' be alright

  • 4:28 - 4:29
    What you want,
    you a house, you a car?
  • 4:29 - 4:31
    40 acres and a mule,
    a piano, a guitar?
  • 4:31 - 4:33
    Anything, see my name
    is Lucy, I'm your dog
  • 4:34 - 4:36
    Motherfucker,
    you can live at the mall
  • 4:36 - 4:38
    I can see the evil,
    I can tell it, I know it's illegal
  • 4:38 - 4:40
    I don't think about it,
    I deposit every little zero
  • 4:40 - 4:42
    Thinkin' of my partner,
    put the candy, paint it on the Regal
  • 4:42 - 4:44
    Diggin' in my pocket,
    ain't a profit big enough to feed you
  • 4:45 - 4:47
    Everyday my logic,
    get another dollar just to keep you
  • 4:47 - 4:49
    In the presence of your chico... ah!
  • 4:49 - 4:51
    I don't talk about it,
    be about it, everyday I sequel
  • 4:51 - 4:53
    If I got it then you know you got it,
    heaven, I can reach you
  • 4:53 - 4:56
    Pet dog, pet dog, pet dog,
    my dog, that's all
  • 4:56 - 4:58
    Pick back and chat,
    I trap the back for y'all
  • 4:58 - 5:00
    I rap, I black on track
    so rest assured
  • 5:00 - 5:02
    My rights, my wrongs;
    I write 'til I'm right with God
  • 5:02 - 5:03
    Wouldn't you know
  • 5:03 - 5:05
    We been hurt, been down before
  • 5:06 - 5:07
    Nigga, when our pride was low
  • 5:07 - 5:09
    Lookin' at the world like,
    "Where do we go?"
  • 5:10 - 5:12
    Nigga, and we hate po-po
  • 5:12 - 5:14
    Wanna kill us dead
    in the street fo sho
  • 5:14 - 5:16
    Nigga, I'm at the preacher's door
  • 5:16 - 5:18
    My knees gettin' weak,
    and my gun might blow
  • 5:18 - 5:20
    But we gon' be alright
  • 5:20 - 5:22
    Nigga, we gon' be alright
  • 5:23 - 5:24
    Nigga, we gon' be alright
  • 5:25 - 5:26
    We gon' be alright
  • 5:26 - 5:27
    Do you hear me,
    do you feel me?
  • 5:27 - 5:29
    We gon' be alright
  • 5:29 - 5:31
    Nigga, we gon' be alright
  • 5:31 - 5:33
    Huh? We gon' be alright
  • 5:33 - 5:35
    Nigga, we gon' be alright
  • 5:35 - 5:36
    Do you hear me,
    do you feel me?
  • 5:36 - 5:37
    We gon' be alright
  • 5:37 - 5:41
    I keep my head up high
  • 5:41 - 5:45
    I cross my heart and hope to die
  • 5:46 - 5:48
    Lovin' me is complicated
  • 5:48 - 5:50
    Too afraid, a lot of changes
  • 5:50 - 5:52
    I'm alright, and you're a favorite
  • 5:52 - 5:55
    Dark nights in my prayers
  • 6:06 - 6:08
    I remembered you was conflicted
  • 6:09 - 6:13
    Misusing your influence,
    sometimes I did the same
  • 6:14 - 6:16
    Abusing my power full of resentment
  • 6:17 - 6:19
    Resentment that turned
    into a deep depression
  • 6:20 - 6:22
    Found myself screamin'
    in the hotel room
  • 6:24 - 6:26
    I didn't wanna self-destruct
  • 6:27 - 6:29
    The evils of Lucy was all around me
  • 6:30 - 6:32
    So I went runnin' for answers
  • 6:42 - 6:44
