T-Truth - We're Alright [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Intro]
Yeah, it's T-Truth, and we're alright!
Let's go!

[Verse 1]
When they be kids, they ain't got enough money
Because they only want a life that is sweeter than honey
These are the, funny things I think about when I sleep
Cos I be flocking the digits like I'm counting the sheep
My streets have been cloudy grey for some time
And it's a picture I'm tryin' to paint with some rhymes
We need sunshine and we need fun times
Need a revolutionary who can speak one line
Through the grime, my mind state's been positive
On the prime side, I'm more of an optimist
Never been impressed at best with politics
But I read and write, day and night, all the opposites
Cos there's the good, the bad, and then the quite strange
Truth-fully you should be glad and like change
When life's rough and tough, you've had enough
Get back up, don't slack the stuff, cos we're alright

[Verse 2]
Everywhere I go, I say my life is good
Cos I got the River Thames flow so my life is good
I reach at palm trees, from Barbados to Lagos
Said it before in the past, you don't have to be famous
Bob Marley soul, whether you're 17 or
70, believe I really can't be old
Most people living it hard, it's cos they're struggling but
I be digging deep from my heart, shovelling
In the snow, or sun, I ain't the chosen one
But just know hope will come if you're holding some
Don't let em take my happy days away, OK
Life's a beach, so I keep all of the worries at bay
This is for my friends and my fam and my don G
Brother from another mother, no other than Honke
And thanks Tobi, he show me the nice way
What can I say, life's great
Alright, mate?

[Verse 3]
Mountain to climb, don't be peak
Iron things out, let em decrease
Surface to work with
Murk this when I'm on the flow with the deep heat
Ease up, stop carrying the cargo
Be happy for life, even when it's getting hard bro
My life was a bummer, but now it's the summer
Everybody hands up if you wanna!

[Josie Ellison - Ukelele Solo]

[Mr. Spence - Saxophone Solo]

[Verse 4]
Life's heavy but I found a way
So now you see me and my crew, and we're down to stay
And I don't really like to boast a bit
But right now, I'm feeling good, let's make the most of it!
