Be Alright Lyrics

It's that feel good music
This one of them days man, you know
[Hook - Kornbread] (Skillz)
Fittin to have a little fun tonight (uh huh)
Ain't nobody pullin guns tonight (uh uh)
We might argue and we might fight
But it'll be alright, it'll be alright
Cause, the mood set, we enjoyin the light
Kick back, relax, we enjoyin the night
(Check one, check two, yeah it's me on the mic)
So it'll be alright, it'll be alright
Another day, another dollar, I'm just tryin to get by
Pull the curtains back and see a clear blue sky
What's the plans for today? I'm tryin to decide
Hit the car wash up, get a shine on the ride
See my man (see my man), in the cut (in the cut)
The barbershop, yeah, see what's up (sup)
See my nigga 'Bread ('Bread), see my nigga Slim (Slim)
The kicks real slick, plus they matchin the brim (uh)
The temperature's right, the air's so cool (cool)
Hit the crib up, pull out the old school (oh!)
Ain't heard nothin bad 'bout none of my good dudes
You know what they say, no news is good news
Turn up the sound (sounds), crankin up the beat (beat)
Some Earth, Wind & Fire, some Teena Marie (come on)
I got my lean on, now I'm sinkin in the seats (yeah)
Just one of those days, I'm just breezin through the streets
[Hook] - w/ ad libs from Aaries
Hit the dice game up, a couple dudes might hate
Just left Miss Ruby's and got me a plate
Drove right past the cops, ain't make a mistake
Hit that left on Main and hit that right on 8th (uh huh)
Got a chick on Main, had a chick on 8th
They call and I don't answer, I don't want no mistakes
And this time right here (uh), the best time of the year (yeah)
You smell that? Somebody got a grill out (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Did a U-turn and changed my route
Tryin to find whoever that is cookin out
It's a good day, nobody gettin into beef (uh)
I'm ridin slow watchin the kids in the street (uh)
Holler at the old heads, spend some time
That's how you do yours, this how I do mine
Hit the park up and watch everybody shine
And it don't get dark 'til a quarter to nine
[Hook] - w/ ad libs from Aaries
[Break - Skillz] - w/ ad libs
It ain't a cloud in the sky, we sittin right in the sun (come on)
Keep doin what you doin cause we just begun (yeah)
And it's days like this, man they second to none (yeah)
So HAVE, HAVE, HAVE FUNNN!
It ain't a cloud in the sky, we sittin right in the sun
Keep doin what you doin cause we just begun
See it's days like this (ha), man they second to none
So HAVE, HAVE, HAVE FUNNN!
That's what it is man
Huh, we get, it's that feel good music
It's that feel good music
Just one of them days
You know, you've been there before

Skillz (formerly Mad Skillz, born Donnie Shaquan Lewis in Richmond, Virginia) is an African-American rapper. Known as a talented freestyle rapper, Skillz has not received widespread acclaim outside of the hip-hop community, but within it is considered one of its best performers.

He first made a name for himself by finishing in second place in a national freestyle competition in 1995, which resulted in a recording contract with Atlantic Records. Skillz' Atlantic debut, From Where???, and its single, The Nod Factor, were released in 1996, but sank without a trace. In the late-1990s, he allied himself with fellow Virginia natives Missy Elliott, Timbaland, and The Neptunes. He made appearances on Timbaland's albums Tim's Bio in 1998, and Indecent Proposal in 2001; Timbaland made plans to sign Skillz to the Blackhand label he was developing, the label failed to materialize. He along with Danja Mowf, Lonnie B, and Patrice O'Neal, members of Mad Skillz' Supafriendz collective, also appeared on a remix of Aaliyah's hit single "Are You That Somebody" in 1998.

More recently (2000) Skillz is known for his tell all single "Ghostwriter". In which he names (but edits) artist for which he has written hit singles. With lines like 'I'm a ghostwriter, I'm the cat that you don't see/I write hits for rappers you like and charge 'em a fee'. Un-edited versions of the track have not surfaced but Skillz is known to do a live performance in which he includes the names. One artist that openly admits Skillz has written hits for them is P. Diddy.

From 2002 through 2009 Skillz has done a year end "Wrap-Up" song that encapsulates the events of the prior 12 months. Pop radio will recognize him more for this as the hilarious comedic lyrics are timely & funny. During the last years Skillz has claimed each to be his last doing this track.

Skillz eventually got a deal with Rawkus, where he recorded his 2002 LP I Ain't Mad No More, the title of which commemorated the official change of his MC moniker from "Mad Skillz" to just "Skillz". The afore mentioned LP was never released in the U.S. and re-packaged with additional tracks as Confessions Of A Ghostwriter in 2005.

A client for the Mama's Boys management company which also includes Musiq, Skillz has been a featured artist at okayplayer.com, run by ?uestlove of The Roots. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
