Lyrics

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! 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 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' 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...
