I'm Gonna Be Alright Lyrics by Nas

I'm Gonna Be Alright

Oh yes

[Nas]
Uh, this for you girl
Yo, I took you from the projects, put the best clothes in ya closet
Like Ginger from "Casino" and now you a pro
We was like Joe DiMaggio and Marilyn Monroe
All ya jealous girlfriends hatin' waitin'
So I put the cars in yo hand
All I know is Nas was yo man
It was so real, boats and sixes
Special Japanese chefs makin' home cooked dishes
Plenty trips, invisible sets
You know what you missin'

[Jennifer Lopez]
It's funny coz for a while
I Walked around with a smile
But... deep inside, I could hear
Voices telling me "This ain't right"
Don't you know, it's not for you
I always knew what I had to do
But it's hard to get away
Cause I love you I just got to stay

You used to say I couldn't do it but I did it [Yes I did]
After telling everybody that I wasn't with it [Oh yeah]
Though it brings tears to my eyes I can feel it
And I know inside that I'm gonna be alright [Gonna be alright]
I said I couldn't do it but I did it [Yes I did]
After telling everybody that I wasn't with it [Oh yeah]
Though it brings tears to my eyes I can feel it
And that voice inside says I'm gonna be alright [Gonna be alright]

[Jennifer Lopez]
Friends of mine say to me
Say you got control over me
You're not alone, I played my part
I saw the way you were from the start
Could I expect so much from you
You had a girl when I first met you
Did the best that you could do
Now I realize I can't change you

You used to say I couldn't do it but I did it [Yes I did]
After telling everybody that I wasn't with it [Oh yeah]
Though it brings tears to my eyes I can feel it
And I know inside that I'm gonna be alright [Gonna be alright]
I said I didn't do it but I did it [Yes I did]
After telling everybody that I wasn't with it [Oh yeah]
Though it brings tears to my eyes I can feel it
And that voice inside says I'm gonna be alright [Gonna be alright]

[Jennifer Lopez]
Said I wouldn't walk away
Some days I want to stay [Days I want to stay]
But leaving you is what I need to do [Need to do]
To be OK [I need to be OK]
I never thought it would be true [Would be true]
Me living without you [Living without you]

[Nas]
Huh, this life is crazy

[Jennifer Lopez]
So now it's time for me to make that move

[Nas]
Huh check it
Yo nobody understands me, I'm dealin' with pressure
My peoples is locked in a jail cell with no bail stressin'
Guess it's the life of a kingpin
Rap Stephen King, rock bling
Like neon lights, we gonna be alright
But it's like you feelin' lesser
Claim I'm actin' like a retard
Right me and my boys
We start fights, well will I mature
You scream I'm in the streets all night
Or where was I at, ya found light brown hairs on my hat
I'm slow caught

You used to say I couldn't do it but I did it [Yes I did]
After telling everybody that I wasn't with it [Oh yeah]
Though it brings tears to my eyes I can feel it
And I know inside that I'm gonna be alright [Gonna be alright]
I said I couldn't do it but I did it [Yes I did]
After telling everybody that I wasn't with it [Oh yeah]
Though it brings tears to my eyes I can feel it
And that voice inside says I'm gonna be alright [Gonna be alright]
