Lyrics

I know it looks bad but it's gonna be alright
I know it looks bad but it's gonna be alright, alright
I know it looks bad but it's gonna be alright, alright
We're gonna be alright, alright
We're gonna be alright, alright
I'm gonna be...
A true soldier, Kevin Lockett
The strap went "brrat" like a socket
He came home to a cater in the closet
Ten years state time, blood stay solid
Bunkies with Geronimo Pratt, knowledge
Guerilla warfare, college
The young YGs pay homage
First day home and I took the man shoppin'
Yes, this is Soul Fire 101
He told me never kill for money, only loved ones
Fucked up how he got killed, the wrong one
November 5th, 11-5 day, they was on one
I talked to him, he put Frogg on the phone
His exact words, "The hood callin', Gs to come home"
I called Cedar, maybe it was a revelation
The port got closed on the same celebration
I know it looks bad but it's gonna be alright, alright
I know it looks bad but it's gonna be alright, alright
I know it looks bad but it's gonna be alright, alright
I know it looks bad but it's gonna be alright, alright
We're gonna be...
We all on a timer, tick-tockin'
Only God knows when our time clock stoppin'
Runnin' from death, I always wanna change the topic
Couldn't handle the funeral of my homie Kevin Lockett
Caught in a recession, tryin' not to drown
My city under fire like Black Hawk Down
It's hard to look up and see your loved ones not around
So I'm hopin' that my loved ones in the sky lookin' down
Only the strong survive, that's false pretense
Care frontline soldiers stronger than the cement
Success with this music, seek, you gon' achieve it
Is what my **** told me when it was hard to believe it
So I'ma keep this torch lit for every lost homie
Who was rockin' from the start when the world didn't know me
Now they know of us, I'm talkin' to your brother
Tryin' to get him out of them streets and his music further
Kevin Lockett
I know it looks bad but it's gonna be alright, alright
I know it looks bad but it's gonna be alright, alright
I know it looks bad but it's gonna be alright, alright
I know it looks bad but it's gonna be alright, alright
We're gonna be...
It's like a black cloud over the hood
Still beggin' the Lord, let the sun shine over the hood
No one-time up in the hood
Not one crime up in the hood
Just all mine up in the hood
Maybe I'll get to see it in my next life
Still I'll knock a **** down for my next strike
Kevin Lockett, you was more than my brother
You was more like a father and more like a mother
I was the youngest of the five Lockett brothers
Two in one bed and we shared the same covers
You taught me how to fight, you taught me how to write
You showed me how to live like you gave a **** life
You told me life's a gamble but you never throw the dice
You just get down on your knees, 'til you get your number twice
I'll never let you go, you know I do it for you
Now just watch who I'm doin' it to
I know it looks bad but it's gonna be alright, alright
I know it looks bad but it's gonna be alright, alright
I know it looks bad but it's gonna be alright, alright
I know it looks bad but it's gonna be alright, alright
We're gonna be...
