G-Natural - Alright

I feel God in the trees, in a gentle breeze
When I'm on a trail, or I'm on my knees, it's in
Times like these, my spirit's at ease, I'm alright
And I get down on myself, f'sho
But I receive God's grace when I'm feelin' low
So if He's pleased, it's how I know
I'm alright
One mo gain back at it, it's G*Nat
Make the beat shake like a crack addict
I reach in the attic on top of the dome to make a
16 hot like a straightening comb
But I ain't come to just brag or boast wit it
Abundant life I wanna help the most get it
So I'm committed to be outfitted with
Gospel truth so my life can transmit it
It's my objective to be effective in
My perspective on the resurrection
So when I need correction or protection
Can't just rely on self-reflection
So I stop, to ask and seek and knock
For peeps on the block who face a steep drop
Like immigrants, recipients of DACA
Cause I'm here for that (Sho Baraka)
But otherwise, I'm chillin', checkin' out the
Leaves in the trees that take time to fill in
Blowing in the wind like Dylan, I'm quite sure
It's a better cure than penicillin
Relaxin' poolside at the Centro
Summertime hangout spot, that's essential
'Cause everybody in the greater metro
Should de-stress, decompress, and just let go
So when I feel mad frustration, I
Take time to enjoy God's creation
In a forest, the beach or the park, playing
Ball or frisbee, til it's dusk or dark
It's not a substitute for the church, but if
You need a break, then you could do a lot worse
It's not worth it, running the hamster wheel
The rat race can wait, 'cause today?
I feel God in the trees, in a gentle breeze
When I'm on a trail, or I'm on my knees, it's in
Times like these, my spirit's at ease, I'm alright
And I get down on myself, f'sho
But I receive God's grace when I'm feelin' low
So if He's pleased, it's how I know
I'm alright
So what about the days when I'm down and
No one around and I feel like I'm drowning
The accuser tries to clown, but where
Sin abounds grace is much more abounding
So I'm a be aight, word to Kendrick
It's my time so I choose to spend it
Knees metaphorically bended, with hands extended
Like God intended, talking to
The Lord til my worries and concerns are tended
Or maybe amended, and even if I feel offended
I hold up requests, but they're open-handed
Emotionally candid, til I no longer
Feel stranded from my need and the
Cycle of my prayer life is completed
If I wonder how I ended up there
Time to experiment with some self-care
See what I need besides nature
Is a shift in my nomenclature
Change the words that I use in my verbal diet
The quiet time I need sometimes it's not quiet
To avoid disaster, I need a heavy
Dose of joy and laughter, combat my
Isolation with soul connection
Reject the Facebook facade of perfection
It's a misdirection to expect there's
No defect in my reflection, I'm a wreck son
Even if my ego's in check, I'm not
Freud and I can't avoid detection
And I meant it, when I said so
I'm less Vanessa and more Tempestt Bledsoe
If you wanna be fake, be my guest, bro
But if you gon' be alright then let's go
I feel God in the trees, in a gentle breeze
When I'm on a trail, or I'm on my knees, it's in
Times like these, my spirit's at ease, I'm alright
And I get down on myself, f'sho
But I receive God's grace when I'm feelin' low
So if He's pleased, it's how I know
I'm alright
Stand up if you alright, stand up if you alright
Sit down if you alright, sit down if you alright
Just chill if you alright, just chill if you alright
Take a nap if you alright, take a nap if you alright
