I'm Gonna Be Alright
[Nas]Yo, I took you from the projectsPut the best clothes in ya closetLike Ginger from Casino and now you a proWe was like Joe DiMaggio and Marilyn MonroeAll ya jealous girlfriends hatin', waitin'So I put the cars in yo handAll I know is Nas was yo manIt was so real, boats and sixesSpecial Japanese chefsMakin' home-cooked dishesPlenty trips, invisible setsYou know what you missin'
[Jennifer Lopez]It's funny 'cause, for a whileWalked around with a smileBut deep inside, I could hearVoices telling me, "This ain't right"Don't you know, it's not for you?I always knew what I had to doBut it's hard to get away'Cause I love you, I just tried to say
(Chorus)I used to say I couldn't do it but I did itAfter telling everybody that I wasn't with itThough it brings tears to my eyes I can feel itAnd I know inside that I'm gonna be alrightI said I couldn't do it but I did itAfter telling everybody that I wasn't with itThough it brings tears to my eyes I can feel itAnd that voice inside says I'm gonna be alright
[Jennifer Lopez]Friends of mine say to meSay you got control over meYou're not alone, I played my partI saw the way you were from the startHow could I expect so much from you?You had a girl when I first met youDid the best that you could doNow I realize I can't change you
(Chorus)
[Jennifer Lopez]Said I wouldn't walk awaySome days I want to stayBut leaving you is what I need to doTo be OKI never thought it would be trueBe leaving without youSo now it's time for me to make that move
[Nas]Huh check itYo nobody understands me, I'm dealin' with pressureMy peoples is locked in a jail cell with no bail - stressin'Guess it's the life of a kingpinRap Stephen King, rock blingLike neon lights, we gon' be alrightBut it's like you feelin' lesserClaim I'm actin' like a retardWritin' me and my boysWe start fights, with will I'm in chargeYou scream I'm in the streets all nightOr where was I at, ya found light brown hairs on my hatI'm slow caught
(Chorus)
