I'm Gonna Be Alright (feat. Nas)

Oh yes

Uh, this is for you, girl

Yo

I took you from the projects, put the best clothes in your closet

Like Ginger from "Casino", and now you a pro

We was like Joe DiMaggio and Marilyn Monroe

All your jealous girlfriends hatin, waitin

So I put the cards in your hand

All I know when Nas was your man

It was so real, boats and sixes

Special Japanese chefs making home-cooked dishes

Plenty trips, invisible sets, you know what you missin'?

It's funny 'cause for a while I walked around with a smile

But deep inside I could hear voices telling me this ain't right

Don't you know he's not for you?

I always knew what I had to do

But it's hard to get away

'Cause I love you, I just tried to stay

I used to say I couldn't do it, but I did it

I've been telling everybody that I wasn't with it

Though it brings tears to my eyes, I can feel it

And I know inside I'ma be alright

I said I couldn't do it, but I did it

I've been telling everybody that I wasn't with it

Though it brings tears to my eyes, I can feel it

And that voice inside says I'm gonna be alright

Friends of mine say to me

They say you got control over me

You're not alone, I played my part

I saw the way you were from the start

Could I expect so much from you?

You had a girl when I first met you

Did the best that you could do

Now I realize I can't change you

I used to say I couldn't do it, but I did it

I've been telling everybody that I wasn't with it

Though it brings tears to my eyes, I can feel it

And I know inside I'ma be alright

I said I couldn't do it, but I did it

I've been telling everybody that I wasn't with it

Though it brings tears to my eyes, I can feel it

And that voice inside says I'm gonna be alright

Said I wouldn't walk away

Some days I want to stay (Days I want to stay)

But leaving you is what I need to do to

Be okay (Need to do, for me to be okay)

Never thought it would be true (Would be true)

Me living without you (Living without you)

But now it's time for me to make that move

Shit, this life is crazy, uh, check it, yo

Nobody understands me, I'm dealing with pressure

My peoples is locked in a jail cell with no bail, stressing

Guess it's the life of a kingpin

Rap Stephen King, rock bling like neon

Lights, we gon' be alright (Be alright)

But it's like you feeling me lesser

Claim I'm acting like a retard, right?

Me and my boys, we start fights (Oh no)

When will I mature?

You scream I'm in the streets all night

Oh, where was I at?

You found light brown hairs on my hat, I'm so caught (Oh no)

I used to say I couldn't do it, but I did it

I've been telling everybody that I wasn't with it

Though it brings tears to my eyes, I can feel it

And I know inside I'ma be alright

I said I couldn't do it, but I did it

I've been telling everybody that I wasn't with it

Though it brings tears to my eyes, I can feel it

And that voice inside says I'm gonna be alright
