Letra de Alright

Alls my life I has to fight, nigga

Alls my life I...

Hard times like, "Yah!"

Bad trips like, "Yah!"

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 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', 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

Reaping everything I sow, so my karma comin' heavy

No preliminary hearings on my record

I'm a motherfucking gangster in silence for the record

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 other zero

Thinking of my partner, put the candy, paint it on the Regal

Digging in my pocket, ain't a 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 '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

Significado de la letra: Alright

Esta canción "Alright" del artista "Kendrick Lamar" se estrenó el 2015-03-16, tiene una duración de 219.333 segundos y pertenece a los géneros musicales: conscious hip hop, hip hop, rap, west coast rap. “Alright” provides a moment of hope amid To Pimp a Butterfly’s battle to find higher purpose. After “u” – where Kendrick lays out his burdens – “Alright” responds by detailing how Kendrick means to escape his troubles. By trusting in God, Kendrick is able to look past his failures and have confidence that everything will be okay – “we gon’ be alright.”\n\nOn the surface, the motif is optimistic and universal, but the message is driven by specific pain and struggle. Awareness regarding the disproportionate police brutality against Black people has left many wondering if the US has made any progress toward racial equality. Rather than despair, “Alright” assures listeners that, through solidarity, “we gon’ be alright.”\n\nThe mantra made a strong impact in the 2015 summer of protest, as Black Lives Matter activists all over America chanted “we gon’ be alright” to mourn the countless black people killed by police in 2015 and provide hope for a better future.\n\n\n\nSome took to twitter suggesting “Alright” as a “new black national anthem” similar to “Lift Every Voice and Sing” and “We Shall Overcome” – also songs of hope emerging out of periods of despair.\n\n\n\nAt the 2015 BET awards, Kendrick performed “Alright” on top of a police car, further highlighting the song’s purpose as a protest against police brutality. The powerful imagery and anti-police lyrics proved to be controversial when Fox News’s Geraldo Rivera said:\n\n“This is why I say that hip-hop has done more damage to young African-Americans than racism in recent years. This is exactly the wrong message.”\n\nIn a video interview with TMZ Kendrick responded, driving the conversation back to the problem of police brutality instead of allowing Rivera and others to change the topic to hip-hop, by saying:\n\n“… the senseless acts of killings of these young boys out there … This is reality, this is my world, this is what I talk about in my music. You can’t delude that. Me being on a cop car, that’s a performance piece after these senseless acts … Hip-hop is not the problem. Our reality is the problem of the situation. This is our music. This is us expressing ourselves.”\n\nTo give his message context, Kendrick worked with director Colin Tilley to create an extended music video for “Alright” – released June 30, 2015.\n\n\n\nOn February 15, 2016 at the 58th Grammy Awards, Kendrick Lamar took home five Grammys for his work on To Pimp a Butterfly. “Alright” was nominated for four awards, ultimately winning both Best Rap Performance and Best Rap Song.\n\nThis song can be seen as the person tired of all the crying and feeling bad for themselves. They are now ready to take action and find a solution.
