Spose - Feel Alright lyrics

I bet it all on myself, that's a safe bet (I'm all in) I'm not reliant on nobody for my paycheck (PDank) It's been five years since I wore a nametag, quit my day job in 2010 and never came back Stayed since I entered, I never hit the exit Keep moving like my mom, hiding from her exes I just played like three shows in Texas Sold it out in Austin, put the homies on the guest list I'm in the van in Oklahoma bumping T.I Rolling trees on my diploma on my Levi's I saw behind the curtain, so I know my window's smaller than vagina on a virgin But I'm tryna be happy when my visitor's gone Even though my day's numbered like a prisoner's arm I'm tryna [Kristina Kentigian:] I'm just tryna feel alright, alright If smiling is lame, I wanna be lame If I gotta pick a location, it's gonna be Maine If I get something with this beard, it's gotta be brain Dropped my first record when radio's a lot of T-Pain I'm playing 21 in San Diego but I'm 29 Chadd won, Jay came in second, good thing I can rhyme (San Diego) Teddy sent the beat without the tags on it (They know) Built trust like a snowman, put a hat on it I been me since cats had on Fubu Cla**es skipped like ads on YouTube Never got my degree, but I can turn the heat up It's too much sun to let the whole world beat us [Kristina Kentigian:] I'm just tryna feel alright, alright I wanna be rich, I wanna be liked I wanna be dope, I been wrong, I wanna be right But if I can't be none of that, then lastly The one thing I really wanna be is happy (Tryna be sad?) People live their whole life in the rat race Fast paced, never get the cheese, come in last place (Hamsters) So get to asking around I got the blessings counted like a basket after the foul (And one) I was the cook who melted the cheese On your burger, but I'm educated, healthy and free You never heard of anybody quite as honest as me Who rock a mic when they open till they tell you to leave Let's go [Kristina Kentigian & (Spose):] I'm just tryna feel alright, alright (On a world tour, we can knock on every door Grab the rich and the poor, we can make 'em feel alright We can make 'em feel alright, we'll make 'em, make 'em, make 'em feel alright, we'll make 'em feel alright) I'm just tryna feel alright, alright (We can find a way to feel alright) Yo here's a moment that I replayed through I was in the kitchen, politicking, kicking it with DJ Rew One of his best friends just died in a fire And he was going through divorce so I asked him how he smiled He turned the faucet on and then he looked at me, crookedly "I understood that if I'm sad, I shouldn't be" It made me wanna go buy a guitar, run and play the drums Let the ba** man have some fun Ba** man, talk to 'em [Kristina Kentigian:] I'm just tryna feel alright, alright [Spose:] Everyone was running, tripping over debris, maybe a body, definitely debris Sprinting, gasping, parents holding their kids, shielding their eyes, you know All their kids running, parents eyes just widened by, y'know, in terror And I was running too, just because everybody else was running I mean, it's irrefutable, like if everybody's running, they must have a good reason, right? So I was running, and running and running, and stepped on an iPhone, rechecking the cracked face And it wasn't dead yet, it was still on, and it comforted me to see the glow, it's face shown A picture, two pictures actually, you know, different women wearing the same dress Who wore it better? And running, and running and running and running And gla**, and sirens, yelling, crying And finally I fell, I skidded across the sidewalk And um, I looked back, mainly just to avoid any stampede Or, you know, getting crushed Most everyone else was running through the street, weaving between the abandoned cars, and the cars were just still, empty Like overgrown, metal bug carca**es Like that REM video And I looked back from where we came, and I saw it I saw what we were running from And I guess I wasn't surprised It was shapeless, and huge and scary And it had no form It was frightening, really, um, it was the truth
