Mel Tha Prophet - ALRIGHT Lyrics

I'm trying to lead my life to righteousness
But it's hard when I'm prone to sin
I know how I gotta change, how I gotta grow
And that's why I'm afraid I've been down this road before
When a little pressure comes my way
Then I'm falling, flopping, folding
Don't know my next move with the cards I'm holding, hold up
I've been playing the game safe
But I gotta take a risk and walk the plank
No going back one step at a time
When I've got too much on my mind
Can't contemplate and get stuck
Gotta make a move pull the trigger
Spent too much time overthinking, overstressing
Pushing back how I was feeling, no longer
Time to break the ceiling, time to start the healing
I told you once, baby
I told you once what I know
You gotta let it go (Let it go)
I told you once, baby
I told you once what I know
You gotta let it go (You gotta let it go)
I know I'm destined for greatness
But I strayed from the path a couple times and a couple more
Backsliding, backtracking, bound to my same old ways
Another day, man, ain't shit changed
Here I am in a ball of rage
And who can I blame? The man in the mirror, never been clearer
Don't recognize the man staring back
Can't bear to look too long, cause then I'll have to face all my wrongs
Looking down the barrel, time to face the fire squad, bang, bang
And what's left? Nowhere to turn, so I yearn
And I'm praying for better days
But I know it takes more than what I say
Actions over words so I turn full throttle
One-eighty put down the bottle, yeah
Today has enough trouble so I don't worry about tomorrow
Learning from my pain and my sorrows
I told you once, baby
I told you once what I know
You gotta let it go (Let it go)
I told you once, baby
I told you once what I know
You gotta let it go (You gotta let it go)
