Muph & Plutonic - Nothing's Alright, Everything's Ok lyrics

[Verse 1:] Short of a dollar, struggle to pay the rent Walk with heavy steps, shoes caked in cement With a dried up wallet when the honesty is spent A fire in the pocket can burn a mans intent Two cent pieces, cheap speech free of action Move these weak knees before they keep crashing Staggering, hands sliding along the wall Stall, now I'm back again - gotta keep on the ball When we fall we bounce back, we show backbone No backstroke counter-attack waiting for the cash to grow In the cabbage patch have attatched quickly Satisfied easily by the simplicity The industries imagery that'll ram-way the fan base Watch the stems break down the system Many have got to hustle before they play the victim Never let the money start depicting his visions Even when hungry he made focused decisions Had faith in himself to help climb a better livin Knowing at the end of the day nothing is alright, but everything is ok The only way is to keep kicking through the rough patch In the end we can't control everything and it's best to accept that [Chorus/Hook: x2] Nothing is alright, but everything is ok [Hook:] [DJ Premier:] "My poetry's deep I never fell" "It was dark when I put it to the light, no question" [Verse 2:] High on life like the the air we breathe is just weed smoke Inbetween the sighs, the frowns, the crowd of heath hoes That roll the dice through the crabs at the casino, see no evil Learn no tactics but calculate the factors that managed the rough patch Famish with the cutbacks Scraps slope energy no remedy, f** that The sandpaper will scrape the skin, the wounds will heal So we take it all in, major spins On this rotating globe locating the won't's, motivating the don't's Donating some hope in the scope of those In that less fortunate predicament Seen angels shut down with stones, and devils build their homes Sitting in the comfort of their gold-plated kitchen Soul escaping the vision with a lack of inhibition A little b**hen is just part of the cause Pumping fear through television to pardon the war But this lion here will walk til the vocal cords distort 'Til the short straw offers no hope And while nothing is alright, everything is ok though [Chorus/Hook x2] Nothing is alright, but everything is ok [repeats til fade]
