[CunninLynguists - Doin' Alright lyrics]
I'll be doin' alright i'll be doin' ok
And as long as I can live to see another day
I'll be doin' alright i'll be doin' ok
And as long as I can live to see another day
Back in the sixteenth century way
Way back in the day
Nostradamus predicted the end of the
World would be on May
5th 1999 and I don't know how
But as I'm writing this that's only
One day from right now what the fuck
I pull up to Shell in my truck
Look up, "nah earth ain't about to erupt"
Open my door, get up, slam it shut, "Marv
What up lemme get a bag of ice and
A stack of plastic cups"
For a minute we chat 'bout
Life and all o that
Then we dap "Check you out tomorrow night
I'll be back" grab a bidi and light it
Turn the key and start driving
Back off into the night and then
I start to get frightened
Thinking "Damn! My whole life I
Was just a dreamer i never got to put on a
Show in a packed arena
I wanted to go on Rap City and act witty
But all I ever did was put
Up with hoes who act shitty what a wack pity
Was I choosin a road
That didn't get me there in time
And now we're losing our globe?
Hold up, I'm losin control
Think realistically on it
What could fuck up a planet
In one day without warning?
And even if the world does end
I can't be mad at God
Cause life coulda been much worse
At least I'm satisfied
At least my dad's alive married to my mother
I have a sister and friends that
I could call my brothers
At least I have life some people
Their life was stolen
Set up for a crime and behind
Bars is where they hold em
We got kids killing kids cause Earth is cold
Women using abortions as a
Form of birth control
It hurts the soul and leaves
A scar on your conscience
But, it's a blessing that I
Made it through this nonsense
So even if this will be my last night
At least when it's over I'll be doin alright
I'll be doin' alright i'll be doin' ok
And as long as I can live to see another day
I'll be doin' alright i'll be doin' ok
And as long as I can live to see another day
Back in the 16th century, way
Way back in the day
Nostradamous predicted the world would
Be on may
5th, 99, three years later and change
The World Trades frame got struck by planes
Looking like God unleashed his
Fury and rained flames
Exchanged pain for how America came to fame
Cluthing my brain
My sense of security changed
Usually confidence was pure in me
Now fear in my veins said "any of this shit
Could brang nuclear weapons
Any of this shit could end at any second"
If the Commander in Chief
Couldn't insure our protection
That's no more additions to
My memory's collection missing me and my
Girls matrimonial connection
No child and videotapin' her first steppings
Or growing old and teaching
Grandchildren lifes lessons
But thankfully I got saved
During them church sessions
So I thank God for earth's blessings health
Not alot of wealth
But alot of peace within my self
Not a whole lot of forgotten
Pieces upon the shelf
Disclipline from loving parents
Though they raised me by the belt
When I was young, I was wild
(life) took it for granted
(nights) living outlandish
(christ) hope he could stand it
Now I do right wherever I can manage
The devil was eating me alive but
I climbed out of that sandwich
Now possibly on the verge
Of having everything vanish
Feeling as if I didn't do
Anything as I planned it
Like I was trying to live my life right
But somebody panned it
But, I still had love
When down helping hands lifted
Me up, outta the mud, outta the muck
And outta the dark and attitude when
I didn't give a fuck
From them days in the park, alone
Drinking gin by the cup
Through an exitless maze
Wandering and constantly stuck
The blessings were always there
I just chose to ignore them
Shit started getting sweeter when I
Learned to explore them
Wasn't selfish with them
Trying to stretch and contort them
And didn't let the world get to
Them first and distort them
So as I kick back and ponder on armeggedon
And I spit raps about where
My life could've been headin'
I admit that i do have a wonderful life
So if this night was my last
I'll be doin' alright
I'll be doin' alright i'll be doin' ok
And as long as I can live to see another day
I'll be doin' alright i'll be doin' ok
And as long as I can live to see another day
And as long as I can live to see another day
I'll be doin' alright i'll be doin' ok
And as long as I can live to see another day
Back in the sixteenth century way
Way back in the day
