[Intro] Rree-bah-bah Zee-bumba, dook-dook Rita-ze, yeah [Verse 1] And I've been turnt up (Yeah) For several days now Home of the brave, I'm just chilling in the A-town Tryna find my way out to a better place I know if I stayed down the come-up will be great But it's getting hard to breathe I'm suffocating from the chase As I'm looking at reflections Tryna recognize my face Running after dreams, telling God set the pace Sometimes he puts up hurdles just to test me on my faith I'm ready to be great, I do this for my sister You're growing up to fast Take it slow before I miss ya Middle name: Hope, first name: God's grace You're here for a reason, don't let anybody trick ya If only you knew, knew (Knew) What mom went through, through (Through) Just to hear you cry the first time To let her know that you're alive You realized why I do what I do, do (Do) [Chorus] Tell me that "It's all gonna be alright" Even if you're wrong it'll feel so right 'Cause I know, I know that I need it now So tell me "It'll be alright" Tell me that "It's all gonna be alright" Even if you're wrong it'll feel so right 'Cause I know, I know that I need it now So tell me "It'll be alright" [Verse 2] Yeah, and I was ten years old Shady was my right hand, 50 was my left Dr. Dre was my hype man The living room was the venue Mantle piece for a stage, that's what I was into With my hat back, tryna be like MJ Ten year flashbacks are feeling like ten days I would let the pen graze the paper, that was routine Decked out in Jordan writing 'bout some bluejeans That I didn't have but damn it they was sagging I said I was from Queens just to believe that I was rapping Wonder if my parents thought "How'd the hell this happen?" "How's my white kid got a black mans passion?" But round of applause for the King and Queen Yeah, they'd never mind when I would sing and scream Always let me pick my dream not matter how unlikely So when I start to doubt these flashbacks remind me Yeah [Chorus] Tell me that "It's all gonna be alright" Even if you're wrong it'll feel so right 'Cause I know, I know that I need it now So tell me "It'll be alright" Tell me that "It's all gonna be alright" Even if you're wrong it'll feel so right 'Cause I know, I know that I need it now So tell me "It'll be alright" [Outro] Yeah, everything is intentional No accidents, everything on purpose Yeah, yeah, yeah, bitch
