I'm Alright

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

This is exactly what I wanted

All my fans love me

Dad is proud of me

Momma cries for me

'Cause she know there ain't sleep in my schedule

Having nightmares that I'm the black Heath Ledger

Sleep when I'm dead

These voices in my head

Got me waking up at 4 just so I can write instead

And my friends come and ask me if it's worth it

I tell them that it better be

I did this shit on purpose

The worst is being worthless

Now a nigga priceless

Bloomingdales coat, I don't have to check the prices

But I only go to feel a sense of control

'Cause I get this shit for free if I wear promotional

And I'm not emotional

When I do my work

I get emotional when I order that dessert

'Cause she always ate dessert

And I deserted her

But I refuse to compromise career for a girl

'Cause this music and this writing and this acting is my soul

And if I let it go, there'd be no one left to know

Being happy is the goal, but greatness is my vision

And all these girls are thinking they compete with my ambition

But, baby, I am different

This shit is my life

And if you don't believe me, you can never be my wife

I'm walking in this darkness and I'm tryna find a light

And I'd rather die than be average and chances are I might

Because

Things are changing, my life gone pecans

Thirteen cities in the last eight weekends

All I know is, baby, I'm so tired

Record on Monday, tape on Tuesday

I ain't slowing down, I don't care what you say

Fuck this health thing, momma, I'm alright
