Eyedea - Be Alright lyrics

You never heard me say it's easy to be positive It's obvious, regardless of your problems you gotta live There's probably no way I'll always be a candle Cause on a cold day, I need a warm place to stand too But my vision lets me know it's past my bedtime It's all good, I got a fair chance to get mine Only a week until the deadline But I've been through a whole library of words Trynna make hell and head rhyme I'm just another voice confined to your background But when I stood up they sat down, who got the last laugh now? Let's push the manual, can't look back at when the hand shook Stand on a planned book, forgotten and rottin' with the canned goods They won't lend you a shoulder, they think we're miniscule wimps I learned as I got older, it don't exactly get simpler I'm breathin' the germs, I'm teachin' to learn It'll be me and my mic until the scream is adjourned [Hook] Everybody has their troubles but that's life it is a struggle And I just wanted to shed a small light cause it ain't all good But it's all good enough, so I'mma be alright, alright? I know it's hard to keep on thriving when you only feel like crying But I just wanted to shed a small light cause it ain't all good But it's all good enough, so we gon' be alright, alright? Everyone's got issues, don't be pissed if I dismiss you Man this is seri-, happiness leaves my fingertips too quick And I wish you would quit resistin' the system Sendin' missiles to my system repetition But if you keep whittling on the same piece of wood one day it'll be gone And I'll be stabbin' my palms for the last ten songs If my pa**ion strong, won't be lastin' long cause I'm crafting lines without a mind to cast 'em on Put my emotions in alphabetical order I looked at the ocean and saw nothing but water I needed to use the phone and didn't have a quarter With my devotion I was able to motion forward When you're out in the open you can still feel cornered Haunted by the ghosts in the depths of your soul, tortured Don't know where I'm going but I'mma head for the border All I need is my close friends and a few supporters [Hook] Everybody has their troubles but that's life it is a struggle And I just wanted to shed a small light cause it ain't all good But it's all good enough, so I'mma be alright, alright? I know it's hard to keep on thriving when you only feel like crying But I just wanted to shed a small light cause it ain't all good But it's all good enough, so you gon' be alright, alright? People show no sympathy to your problems They think it'll never happen to them They're living in a fairy tale quite magical When reality hits 'em, they got the nerve to complain Like they're the only ones in the universe it ever happened to Haven't you ever looked around and felt the frowns? I smile now cause I know how to look up when I'm down But it's hard to live in a rainstorm and pretend it's sunny While we all live in the foundation of puppetry I scream "revolution!" in attempts to make a difference I see no solution to the sickness outside of listsenin' Your eyes listen by descision But to use my imagination will disrupt a few of the caskets that's awaitin' So in my notebook there's a riddle and as I write I giggle in sorrow Reflecting the painful grin, but don't think I'm laughin' at you I ain't laughin' at you The world's laughin' at you [7x] And I'm just laughin' at them [Hook] Everybody has their troubles but that's life it is a struggle And I just wanted to shed a small light cause it ain't all good But it's all good enough, so I'mma be alright, alright? I know it's hard to keep on thriving when you only feel like crying But I just wanted to shed a small light cause it ain't all good But it's all good enough, so you gon' be alright, alright? And he gon' be alright And she gon' be alright And they gon' be alright We all gon' be alright My ma gon' be alright My pals gon' be alright Your folks gon' be alright My folks gon' be alright And he gon' be alright And she gon' be alright And they gon' be alright We all gon' be alright Alright, alright
