I'm Gonna Be Alright Songtext
von Jennifer Lopez & Nas

Oh yes
Uh, this is for you, girl
Yo

I took you from the projects, put the best clothes in your closet
Like Ginger from "Casino", and now you a pro
We was like Joe DiMaggio and Marilyn Monroe
All your jealous girlfriends hatin, waitin
So I put the cards in your hand
All I know when Nas was your man
It was so real, boats and sixes
Special Japanese chefs making home-cooked dishes
Plenty trips, invisible sets, you know what you missin′?

It's funny ′cause 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 he′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 stay


I used to say I couldn′t do it, but I did it
I've been telling everybody that I wasn′t with it
Though it brings tears to my eyes, I can feel it
And I know inside I'ma be alright
I said I couldn′t do it, but I did it
I've been 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

Friends of mine say to me
They 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

I used to say I couldn′t do it, but I did it
I've been telling everybody that I wasn′t with it
Though it brings tears to my eyes, I can feel it
And I know inside I'ma be alright
I said I couldn′t do it, but I did it
I've been 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


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 to
Be okay (Need to do, for me to be okay)
Never thought it would be true (Would be true)
Me living without you (Living without you)
But now it's time for me to make that move
Shit, this life is crazy, uh, check it, yo

Nobody understands me, I′m dealing with pressure
My peoples is locked in a jail cell with no bail, stressing
Guess it's the life of a kingpin
Rap Stephen King, rock bling like neon
Lights, we gon′ be alright (Be alright)
But it's like you feeling me lesser
Claim I′m acting like a retard, right?
Me and my boys, we start fights (Oh no)
When will I mature?
You scream I'm in the streets all night
Oh, where was I at?
You found light brown hairs on my hat, I'm so caught (Oh no)

I used to say I couldn′t do it, but I did it
I′ve been telling everybody that I wasn't with it
Though it brings tears to my eyes, I can feel it
And I know inside I′ma be alright
I said I couldn't do it, but I did it
I′ve been 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
