Things Will Be Alright

Where I'm from
You gotta grow up quicker than most kids
Gold fish
Lost all up in this ocean
Called life
Im sick of the lies, Im sick of the hype
Sick and tired of being sick and tired all the time
But
Thats just where Im from
Where we less likely to fist fight but we quick to get a gun
Quick to run, duck and hide
Tryna survive, Tryna stay alive n***** stay shooting
I ain't talking Jumpman, I ain't talking hoopin'
I'm talking bout how we mourning the lost but we ain't never knew them
I'm up every morning man I'm tryna get my schooling
Im tryna get it right man I'm tryna live right
But
I'm so caught in my ways
Feeling like I'm on the right path but I'm feeling lost in my ways
I think somewhere I done lost my way
Cause what I found out
You can follow you dreams and end up nowhere
I ain't bout to have somebody tell me to go here
Thats no fair
So I flow here
This is flow here
Tryna get some dough here like Jamez this is your year
Yeah this is your year
But would I make it?
Opportunity of a life time, would I take it?
But I gotta finish school, tell me would I drop out?
Or will I end up dead on the ground from a shot now?
Having everybody scream go and get a cop now
I ain't gonna lie man
I don't wanna die man
I don't wanna die man
I don't wanna die, tryna stay alive
I just wanna fly
Tell me everything is gonna be alright
Things gonna be alright
Things gonna be alright
Things will be alright
Things gonna be alright now
Things will be alright
Things gonna be alright now
Things will be alright hey
Hey where I'm from
Things ain't nothing but it seem to be
It seems to me
That things ain't nothing but a dream to me
So you gotta wake up
So you gotta wake up
You gotta wake up
Gotta wake up
Wake Up!
