I'm Gonna Be Alright lyrics

[Nas]

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 'cause, for a while

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 tried to say

I used to say I couldn't do it but I did it

After telling everybody that I wasn't with it

Though it brings tears to my eyes I can feel it

And I know inside that I'm gonna be alright

I said I couldn't do it but I did it

After telling everybody that I wasn't with it

Though it brings tears to my eyes I can feel it

And that voice inside says I'm 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

How 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

I used to say I couldn't do it but I did it

After telling everybody that I wasn't with it

Though it brings tears to my eyes I can feel it

And I know inside that I'm gonna be alright

I said I couldn't do it but I did it

After telling everybody that I wasn't with it

Though it brings tears to my eyes I can feel it

And that voice inside says I'm gonna be alright

[Jennifer Lopez]

Said I wouldn't walk away

Some days I want to stay

But leaving you is what I need to do

To be OK

I never thought it would be true

Be leaving without you

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 gon' be alright

But it's like you feelin' lesser

Claim I'm actin' like a retard

Writin' me and my boys

We start fights, with will I'm in charge

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

I used to say I couldn't do it but I did it

After telling everybody that I wasn't with it

Though it brings tears to my eyes I can feel it

And I know inside that I'm gonna be alright

I said I couldn't do it but I did it

After telling everybody that I wasn't with it

Though it brings tears to my eyes I can feel it

And that voice inside says I'm gonna be alright
