[Verse 1: Zin-Zeta]
Get your hands high in the air if you think you work as hard as me
No hands... That's what I aught to see
Cause God is good, and he handed four jobs to me
Two of them, part-time, two where I work partially
I know a lot of n***as not as lucky, though
Life turned s**y, so they turned yucky, bro
And that's the nice way to say, they turned grimy
They got no choice but to rob n***as all the time, B
"My, my, something shiny to flip
But, please, good Lord, won't you find me a brick
So I can shave that sh*t
And make that flip and save that chip"
But be careful what you wish for
You hear the rod, but appear to fear the pitchfork
They say, the way you're living is not at all bright
But, just fear no man but God and you'll be all right
[Hook: Allen Anthony]
Alright - Baby don't you cry
Alright - Everything's gon' be all right
Alright - I know we can make it through this
Alright - Don't let go; hold on tight
Alright X3
[Verse 2: Allen Anthony]
All my homeboys, still grinding, out, hustling 'til the sunrise
Still they don't see the light
Nah
Please open up your eyes; rise up - let's come together
Build our own enterprise
My
Black sister on the street, she makes it her own business
To sell her precious body
(Y'all don't hear me)
Her baby has to eat, so don't hate her for her choices
How do you think she feels inside
[Hook: Allen Anthony]
Alright - Baby don't you cry
Alright - Everything's gon' be all right
Alright - I know we can make it through this
Alright - Don't let go; hold on tight
[Verse 3: Zin-Zeta]
Over the years I done remained a very humble bloke
I come from a broken home where everyone was broke
And reminded of the value of a dollar at an early age
So I'll be "broke" 'til I'm buried in my early grave
Until I hit them pearly gates, I'mma have ghetto
All in my blood, pumpin' via my veins - Hello!
Grand piano, two violins and a cello
The andante is becoming an allegretto
Cause the mood is going from sadness to madness
The govt.'s got us going crazy over paper
And I ain't trynna be known as the n***a who never had sh*t
So, every move I make has got to be major - Goodbye
