[Intro]

Alright, we gon' be alright

Over the dark clouds, I see the sunlight

Ayy, 2000, E-S-T

That's that O-C-O-E-E

[Chorus]

Alright, we gon' be alright

Over the dark clouds, I see the sunlight

We'll hold you way down or we livin' upright, now we livin' upright

Now we livin' upside down, dog, it's upside down

It's upside down, dog, it's upside down

It's just one crown, dog, it's just one crown

It's just one crown, dog, it's just one crown, mm-hm

[Verse 1]

Mama told me, "Go to college," I ain't have a scholarship

Could've went to play ball, but I never polished it

I was late too often, I ain't even had a whip

Runnin' down Clark Borough 'cause I gotta clock in

It's gotta be another option, it's gotta be another option

Pops said, "Hit the seminary or thе military," I was not in

I was just tryna ball out like the Sports Centеr, hit the top ten

Really tryna hit the top spot, I was tryna hit the top notch

Small town, had big dreams, tryna get it jumpin' like hopscotch

Late night to the early morning, we was cookin' up like crock pots

They doubted me on the way up, but I stayed up, I did not stop

[Bridge]

Yeah, everybody tryna be number one

Stand on the treetops, but I know

When we stay low, we ain't gotta worry how high we go

[Chorus]

Alright, we gon' be alright

Over the dark clouds, I see the sunlight

We'll hold you way down or we livin' upright, now we livin' upright

Now we livin' upside down, dog, it's upside down

It's upside down, dog, it's upside down

It's just one crown, dog, it's just one crown

It's just one crown, dog, it's just one crown, mm-hm

[Verse 2]

Mama said, "Go to college," I done dropped a con like Ye

I was tryna stake knowledge so I went to find another way

They like, "How you believe?" I went to the gym, I knew it would work out

They thought it would end, I'm still in my zone, I know it's a first down

Not an eagle, but I know it hurts when you feel like you put in the work

But nobody puttin' you first, and the pain you gotta rehearse

I was spendin' my time in the rain, I was spendin' my time in the dirt

'Til I met the One who reimbursed, got my time back like reverse

[Bridge]

Yeah, everybody tryna be number one

Stand on the treetops, but I know

When we stay low, we ain't gotta worry how high we go

[Chorus]

Alright, we gon' be alright

Over the dark clouds, I see the sunlight

We'll hold you way down or we livin' upright, now we livin' upright

Now we livin' upside down, dog, it's upside down

It's upside down, dog, it's upside down

It's just one crown, dog, it's just one crown

It's just one crown, dog, it's just one crown, mm-hm

[Outro]

Mama said, "Go to college," had to drop the con like Ye

It's just one crown, dog, it's just one crown

It's just one crown, dog, it's just one crown
