Alright (feat. Jai'Len Josey)

Can't tell you how many times I erred

I was taught to fail quick and then you flourish

So I was bumping my head, yeah, for most of my youth

Disregarded the truth and did what I wanted to

Lessons came hard in between the good days

"Don't bite off more than you can chew," the hood say

So mistakes along the way, take 'em with a grain of salt

And I'll take the blame for whatever's my fault

It's funny

Especially when your mind's on money

Said things in the past, made 'em wanna come for me

I strive to be better

A whole lot of changes and rearranging

To get through the stages of life

If you live long enough, you just might

Learn that everything ain't about a fight

Sometimes you just gotta let 'em be right

Alright

And I say Mama didn't raise no sucker

No sucker

But I been crying all my days and nights

And nights

Thought I'd have it all together by the summer

By the summer

And I'm kinda scared about this life

Will it be alright?

Everything is gonna be alright

Alright, alright, alright

Will it be alright?

Everything is gonna be alright

Alright, alright, alright

Everything is gonna be alright

Everything is gonna be alright

Yeah, big, big

That's what they told me I would be

So I followed the yellow brick road to the tee

They showed me love, then asked for my pub

And I signed on the dotted line for damn near free

Gave my everything, trotted me around the globe

Never said "No," showed up for every single show

From the janky promoters that didn't have my dough

To the dirty stinking clubs with the weak promo

I put work in, now it's like, "Who the hell you jerking?"

Young but I know that this ain't right, for certain

It's over, taken me for granted, curtains

Holding back the proceeds, it ain't working

Dreams keep growing but the streams ain't flowing

We looking for the waterfalls, give us what you owing

Sick of all your theories, sticking us with the low end

Trying to plant seeds but ain't got enough for a sew-in

And I say Mama didn't raise no sucker

No sucker

But I been crying all my days and nights

And nights

Thought I'd have it all together by the summer

By the summer

And I'm kinda scared about this life

Will it be alright?

Everything is gonna be alright

Alright, alright, alright

Will it be alright?

Everything is gonna be alright

Alright, alright, alright

Will it be alright?

Everything is gonna be alright

Alright, alright, alright

Will it be alright?

Everything is gonna be alright

Alright, alright, alright

Everything is gonna be alright

All I wanted was to be a princess

Maybe live a full life of success

I'm just a girl with a couple big dreams

And I'm living paycheck to paycheck

I'm sure I'll be fine

Only a matter of time

I'll get the pay off and I'll get the shine

But until that day, I'll

I'll keep going till I get what's mine, oh

Mama didn't raise no sucker

No sucker

But I been crying all my days and nights

And nights

I thought I'd have it all together by the summer

By the summer

And I'm kinda scared about this life

Will it be alright?

Everything is gonna be alright

Alright, alright, alright

Will it be alright?

Everything is gonna be alright

Alright, alright, alright

Will it be alright?

Everything is gonna be alright

Alright, alright, alright

Will it be alright?

Everything is gonna be alright

I just wanna make it over

I'm tired of waving white flags

But I go and get up

Every time I get knocked down, I show up

Tryin' to stop pain I feel now, I'll grow up

And big girls don't fold

I promise, Mom, I'll never let go

Mama ain't raise no sucker

Mama ain't raise no sucker

Mama ain't raise no sucker

No, she didn't

She ain't raise no sucker, no way
