It's all good till it's not alright
It's all good till it's not alright
It's all good till it's not alright
Said it's all good, all good, all good
It's all good till it's not alright
It's all good till it's not alright
It's all good till it's not alright
Said it's all good, all good, all good
I been chasing women since 13
Way before I had limits I knew what hurt means
When I was 12 I discovered my uncle OD'd
The morning after a wedding it was a cold scene
But looking back all his tactics were of an addict
Erratic and he was manic a classical case of bad habits
I was packing his care package in plaid jackets
Anxiety was as rapid as any jack rabbit
I was dreaming of Mad Hatters and mad baskets
He was dreaming of bad apples and asthmatics
When he got out I had bad acne and rad glasses
And he just wanted a fix riding the bandwagon
He settled in with a sedative and a storybook
Menacing and we let him in and the more we look
The more I notice the buzzing from drugs he prolly took
The more I notice his veins pulsing like Hollywood
He told me stories of vindication on dashboards
I told him stories of tittilation and backboards
He told me life's about what you make it don't ask for it
He said tell mom not to worry he said, he said it's
It's all good till it's not alright
It's all good till it's not alright
It's all good till it's not alright
Said it's all good, all good, all good
It's all good till it's not alright
It's all good till it's not alright
It's all good till it's not alright
Said it's all good, all good, all good
I remember it like it's yesterday
My family gathered like cufflinks to celebrate
Cuz everybody was there it was a wedding day
And one of us wanted a different kind of getaway
As you might guess in these moments of high stress
There were lines inside of the bathroom as white as the bride's dress I was
Crawling in between feet just trying to make believe
I think my uncle did the same he couldn't wait to leave
He looked at me with a smile that seemed vile
And I could tell he was walking the green mile
He only took 5 steps to digress and stopped
I saw the pain that was later tied to his bicep
I saw the pain round his eyes printed like Tyson
He looked away for his pride cuz he frightened
But then he left, we danced, we had fun but
Happy moons can quickly turn to sad suns
I remember my father throwing a tantrum
He ran down to the lobby to tell my fam something
I stuck into my uncles room to prance on him
And what I saw was a picture that never pixilated
The purple veins, the pale skin, his tie on
That's what I see in the scope of all of these Nikons
I'm guessing I haven't coped enough to see bygones
You know there's more but you can't see it like nylons
I see the face of my mother when I go pour another
But still I pour it it's how I battle with how I suffer
My uncle taught me the struggle of getting out the gutter
But still I struggle it's in the blood am I undercover
I contemplate while I lay in bed with another lover
It's something that's been embedded and now she begs to wonder
What's wrong? I bottle up say forget it and then I stutter
I said, I said
It's all good but it's not alright
It's all good but it's not alright
It's all good but it's not alright
Said it's all good, all good, all good
It's all good but it's not alright
It's all good but it's not alright
It's all good but it's not alright
Said it's all good, all good, all good
