Song lyrics

[Intro: Kendrick Lamar]
Alls my life I has to fight, nigga!
Alls my life I...
Hard times like, “Yea!”
Bad trips like, “Yea!”
Nazareth, I'm fucked up,
Homie, you fucked up,
But if God got us,
Then we gon' be alright!

[Chorus: Pharrell Williams]
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!

[Verse 1: Kendrick Lamar]
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!
Twenty 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 hearing, so my record,
And my mothafuckin' gang stand in silence, for the record, uh!
Tell the world I know it's too late,
Boys and girls, I think I gone crazy,
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 for sure, nigga!
I'm at the preacher's door,
My knees gettin' weak and my gun might blow,
But we gon' be alright!

[Chorus: Pharrell Williams]
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!

[Verse 2: Kendrick Lamar]
What you want you, a house or a car?
Forty acres and a mule? A piano? A guitar?
Anything, see my name is Lucy, I'm your dawg,
Mothafucka, 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 till 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 for sure, Nigga!
I'm at the preacher's door,
My knees gettin' weak and my gun might blow,
But we gon' be alright!

[Chorus: Pharrell Williams]
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!

[Bridge: Kendrick Lamar]
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...
