Naughty By Nature - Everything`s Gonna Be Alright слова песни
[Intro]
Smooth it out
This is a story about the drifter
Who waited through the worst for the best in crosstown
Who never planned on havin` so dick
Why me, huh?
[Chorus]
Everything`s gonna be alright (alright)
Everything`s gonna be alright (alright)
Everything`s gonna be alright now (alright)
Everything`s gonna be alright (alright)
[Verse 1]
Some get a little and some get none
Some catch a bad one and some leave the job half done
I was one who never had and always mad
Never knew my dad, mother fuck the fag
Where anywhere I did pick up, flipped the clip up
Too many stick-ups, `cause niggas had the trigger hic-ups
I couldn`t get a job, nappy hair was not allowed
My mother couldn`t afford us all, she had to throw me out
I walked the strip, which is a clip, who wanna hit?
They got `em quick, I had to eat, this money`s good as spent
I threw in graves, I wasn`t paid enough
I kept `em long `cause I couldn`t afford a haircut
I got laughed at, I got chumped, I got dissed
I got upset, I got a Tec and a banana clip
Was down to throw the led to any tellin` crackhead
I`m still livin` broke, so a lot of good it would`ve did
Or done, if not for bad luck, I would have none
Why did I have to live a life of such a bad one
Why when I was a kid and played out was a sad one
And always wanted to live like just a fat one
[Chorus]
[Verse 2]
A ghetto bastard, born next to the projects
Livin` in the slums with bums, I sit and watch them
Why do I have to be like this? momma said I`m priceless
So I am all worthless, starved, and it`s just for being a nice kid
Sometimes I wish I could afford a pistol then, though
Last stop to hell, I would`ve ended things a while ago
I ain`t have jack but a black hat and napsack
Four squad stolen in cars in a blackjack
Drop that, and now you want me to rap and give?
Say somethin` positive? Well positive ain`t where I lived
I lived right around a corner from west hell
Two blocks from south shit, it was in a jail cell
The sun never shone on my side of the street, see
And only once or twice a week I would speak
I walked alone, my state of mind was home sweet home
I couldn`t keep a girl, they wanted kids for cause of chrome
Some life, it you ain`t wear gold your style was old
And you got more juice than dope for every bottle sold
Hell no, I say there`s gotta be a better way
But hey, never gamble any game that you can`t play
I`m slowin` and flowin` and goin` in on and knowin` not now
How will I do it, how will I make it? I won`t, that`s how
Why me, huh?
[Chorus]
My third year into adulthood, and still a knucklehead
I`m better off dead, huh, that`s what my neighbor said
I don`t do jack but fightin`, lightin` up the streets at night
Playin` hide and seek with a machetti ??? like Freddy swipe
Some say I`m rollin` on, nothin` but a dog now
I answer that with a tech, who wanna bow-wow?
`Cause I done been through more shit within the last week
Than I fly flowin` in doo-doo on the concrete
I been a deadbeat, dead to the world and dead wrong
Since I was born that`s my life, oh you don`t know this song?
So don`t say jack, and please don`t say you understand
All that man to man talk just hot damn
If you ain`t live you couldn`t feel it, so kill it, skillet
And all that talk about it won`t help it out, now will it?
And illtown fell like I stuck-up props, got shot
Don`t worry, I hit Bob, flurry, and his punk-ass dropped
But I`m the one who has been labeled as an outcast
They changin` schools, I`m the misfit that will outlast
But that`s cool with the bull, smack `em backwards
That`s what you get for fuckin` with a ghetto bastard
[Outro]
If you ain`t ever been to the ghetto
Don`t ever come to the ghetto
`Cause you ain`t understand the ghetto
And stay the fuck out of the ghetto
Why me?
(alright)
