DO OR DIE LYRICS - Be Alright

"Be Alright"

(feat. Ric Jilla and Johnny P.)



[Verse 1: N. A.R. D]

Look in the heart in the ghetto, where we be shooked up

From black losin' their life, now everytime we look up

Finally pop him, throw away, just learn, they wanna book us

Chicago political criminals like a crook Church

To the Al Capone city we love so much

But when we give our love way, now who the fuck gon' love us?

We die young, and they don't care

But the old folks still lookin' for they Medicare

And it's somethin' on my mind I gotta tell ya

My people who surronded me, they thought I was a failure

But I, appear to be that nigga from the start

Cause I'm down for my motherfuckin' niggas in my heart



[Hook: Johnny P]

Said it's gonna beee, alriiight (Said it's gonna be, alright)

Only better, for me

Said it's gonna beee, alriiight (Said it's gonna be, alright)

Only better, for meee



[Verse 2: AK]

Guns blastin', they after me

Like an assassin, neighborhood not lastin'

They burn it down, like fuck them bastards

Police be watchin', from the other block and

They crucial, put the car in neutral

They try to school, people don't run jokes

Different day, same shit, so I hustle with' my head up

Get'cha paper, what'chu scared of?

I ain't no joke so, put the jokes up in a choke hold

My children need, don't stay so

New shoes and some nice clothes

I guess is what we fight fo'

Children of the ghetto, reach for the stars

Never think to me-sss, cause you know who you are



[Johnny P:]

Why don't you hoold yo' head up

Fooor meeee



[AK:]

This what I said to him



[Hook:]

Said it's gonna beee, alriiight (Said it's gonna be, alright)

Only better, for me

Said it's gonna beee, alriiight (Said it's gonna be, alright)

Only better, for meee



[Verse 3: Belo]

I was a hustla as a shorty, had to make it pop off

Nigga gave me lip and he flinched, I knocked his socks off

Fuck paddle, bubble the coke, and watch it rock off

White man designed a blue-print, to clear the block off

The snakes always fill up the plate, and niggas fed up

We need to catch they ass in the yard, and shake they head up

Ya sista always struggles with' babies, just keep ya head up

And brothas in the pen doin' time, don't ever let up

A motherfucka know what it is, to have to strive again

That's why we hit the bricks and shoot shit, when this go bobblin'

We tat the dead off in our skin, to keep the mob within'

I never wanna have to go rob, or have to starve again



[Hook:]

Said it's gonna beee, alriiight (Said it's gonna be, alright)

Only better, for me (Ric Jilla: Yeah)

Said it's gonna beee, alriiight (Said it's gonna be, alright)

Only better, for meee



[Ric Jilla:]

Baby it's gon' be alright

Homie it's gon' be alright

Hold yo head up

Baby it's gon' be alright

Homie it's gon' be alright



[Verse 4: Ric Jilla]

You only get "One Life to Live", and these ain't no soaps

Ain't no joke, nowadays it ain't no hope

An opportunity for you and me to follow our dreams

But me and my team, finally plan a powerful scheme

So we can try to make a way, that's why I take it "One Day"

At a time, I write rhymes, and get out here on the grind

Cause man, it's Do or Die for you and I, out here in the struggle

It's gon' be alright, nigga be about yo hustle

We almost, here now, we can't stop here

We ain't gon' quit til' we get everything they got here

Cause I know how it feel, to not to have your bread up

But even though you fed up, my nigga keep yo head up



[Hook:]

Said it's gonna beee, alriiight (Said it's gonna be, alright)

Only better, for me

Said it's gonna beee, alriiight (Said it's gonna be, alright)

Only better, for meee



Said it's gonna beee, alriiight (Said it's gonna be, alright)

Only better, for me

Said it's gonna beee, alriiight (Said it's gonna be, alright)

Only better, for meee
