Stevie-T - Alright Lyrics

Not a day goes by
Without me thinking bout the journey called life on my mind
Waking up every morning heart filling with stress
Because I know another cop is out plotting who's next

People getting upset
Some are getting confused
Cuz even when we win
There's others that lose
I don't know what to do
I'm just tryna spread love and positivity
Praying God really starts hearing me when I say

We're gonna be alright
We're gonna be alright
We're gonna be alright
We're gonna be alright

I truly hope that my words
Can be heard through the fear
I been noticing a change through these 21 years
About the state of the world that we live in
We know that we're alive but it feel like we ain't living

Existing as another black body on this white plane
Where it doesn't matter if it's night or it's broad day
Walking with a target on your back through the hallways
Learning all these lessons and we're always taught the hard way

They try to downplay our struggles
When we riot they just see it as us starting trouble
But if you take away their freedom and their right to live
Then I bet retaliation rates would triple double

So I'm puzzled by the people
Who think that taking innocent lives
Or first offense imprisonment is something justified
Say the protest we create are such a waste of time
And we're blind when they really need to open their eyes

Cuz we're tired
Of trying to explain why it's wrong
Yeah we're tired
Of always tryna act like we're strong
And we're tired of relying on this hope for so long
But I guess until there's change we'll keep singing this song like

We're gonna be alright
We're gonna be alright
We're gonna be alright
We're gonna be alright

Searching for better days
Hoping they come our way
No more feeling like we're trapped inside a maze

The blacker the berry
The sweeter the juice
More like the blacker the body
The tighter the noose but
We're surviving and making it through
No matter what type of evil's produced
Because

We're gonna be alright
We're gonna be alright
We're gonna be alright
We're gonna be alright

We're gonna be alright
We're gonna be alright
We're gonna be alright
We're gonna be alright
