{Lyrics}
Ya wake up in the mornin’
Don’t see yourself the same
Ain't got no motivation
To get you out of your bed
And your eyes all dried out 
From crying all night
Cause he left you there
And didn’t think twice
You lookin’ in the mirror 
You don’t like what you see
Got so much frustration
And barely no self-esteem
Sometimes you wish 
You weren’t even here
Cause you never felt good enough
And you blame yourself

When the world feels like 
You ain’t got no best friend
And you feel like you can’t
Ooo, you can't ever win
You don’t know who to turn to
You don’t know where to go
There's one thing I know is true
Yeah!

It’s gonna be alright
(It’s gonna be alright)
It’s gonna be alright 
(It’s gonna be alright)
It’s gonna be alright
(It’s gonna be alright)
Yeah, it’s gonna be alright 
(It’s gonna be alright)

You walkin’ through life now
Don’t see the world the same
Ain't got no direction
Nothing means anything to ya
And your heart is heavy
And you don’t see no way out
Times are gonna change
Ooo, have no doubt, yeah

When the world seems like
You ain’t got no best friend
And you feel like you can’t
Ooo, you can't ever win
You don’t know who to turn to
Oh, you don’t know where to go
There's one thing I know is true
Yeah, yeah!

It’s gonna be alright
(It’s gonna be alright)
It’s gonna be alright 
(It’s gonna be alright)
It’s gonna be alright
(It’s gonna be alright), yeah
Mmm, it’s gonna be alright 
(It’s gonna be alright)

Oh! When the world seems like 
You ain’t got no best friend
And you feel like you can’t
Ooo, you can't ever win
You don’t know who to turn to
Oh, you don’t know where to go
There's one thing I know is true
Yeah!

(It’s gonna be alright)
It’s gonna be alright 
It’s gonna be alright 
(It’s gonna be alright)
I’ll tell ya
It’s gonna be, gonna be, gonna be alright 
(It’s gonna be alright)
Oh, it’s gonna be alright, yeah
(It’s gonna be alright)
It’s gonna be, it’s gonna be, it’s gonna be alright yeah
(It’s gonna be alright)
When ya feelin’ like you can’t, ya can’t ever win
It’s gonna be alright, yeah
When ya feel like you ain’t got nowhere to go
It’s gon’ be alright, yeah
It’s gonna be alright

It's Gonna Be Alright

Official audio of Mayer Hawthorne’s “The Great Divide”.

Lyrics:
Ahh
It’s a sticky situation
Such a small world after all
Except for the space between us
A gentleman ceremoniously waiting
To the west of the Berlin Wall
Through the great divide
While you slept in my T-shirt on the other side

But I never saw it coming
It was written on your face
And what are we becoming?
Now it’s too late to stay
Got to run
Get away

Oh no
Houston now we have a problem
Brer Rabbit lit the dynamite
And that sucka ‘bout to blow
A chivalrous hand
Mr Magic to the rescue
Fairy godfather all in white
Through the private door
Living happily ever after
Forever more

Ooh we knew that it was reckless to begin
Oh but still we threw our caution to the wind

Lyrics:
I know that it’s over
And the past is all behind
But when I’m not sober
Well you still run through my mind
I know it won’t ever
Be the way it used to be
But can you come over
‘Cause I need you here with me

We got along
We’ve got a long way to go
To get used to this
But we can take it slow
(Take it slow)
A little rust
Been a while for the both of us
I swear it’s better now
Than it ever was

But it’s all over
And the past is all behind
But when I’m not sober
Well you still run through my mind
I know it won’t ever
Be the way it used to be
But can you come over
‘Cause I need you here with me

Back when we were still together you were never this brave
Italian looking glass
With the light pink wave
(Light pink wave)
And when I broke down in old town
You were tough
Hit me one more time
One is never enough

I know that when I get up
I’m ‘a feel like shit tomorrow
But I’ll still call you up
Cause I can’t let go
But I think I know

Lyrics:
Heartache mender take my hand
We’ll bury the past forever
Under Hollywoodland
A bottle of red can raise the dead
If you give me your number
I’ll never make you wonder

I’m starting to feel a certain a way about you
It isn’t my M.O.
Oh no no no
Now that I’ve got my loving arms around you
I’m not gonna let go
Oh no no no

A light in the dark the spark of something new
the cinema plays but I can’t take my eyes off you
A stroke of luck we both end up alone
Or is it the stars aligning
like these tombs of stone
And Johnny Ramone can play a song for us
With Rudy Valentino
Up and away we go

I’m starting to feel a certain a way about you
It isn’t my M.O.
Oh no no no
Now that I’ve got my loving arms around you
I’m not gonna let go
Oh no no no

M.O.
Doo doo doo doo doo
Let go
Doo doo doo doo doo
M.O.
Doo doo doo doo doo
I’m ready when you say so
Ponyboy stay gold

Lyrics:
It’s a long look in the mirror
Your reflection getting clearer
As you breathe out
But you don’t need to reveal it
‘Cause we both know what the deal is
When you sneak out

Give me all with your back to the wall
And your face to the ceiling
It’ll always be escaping
This feeling we’re chasing away
And it’s holding us together
but it won’t get any better than the first time
It’ll always be escaping
This feeling we’re chasing away

We’re chasing the feeling
Still chasing the feeling
We’re chasing the feeling

It’s the flicker of the candle and you’re way too much to handle when you lit it
Now we’re coasting
And we won’t
Settle for almost
When we’re so close
To the limit

Give me all with your fist in a ball and a thief in your temple
It’ll always be escaping
This feeling we’re chasing away
And it’s holding us together
but it won’t get any better than the first time
It’ll always be escaping
This feeling we’re chasing away

We’re chasing the feeling
Just chasing the feeling
We’re chasing the feeling
We’re chasing the feeling
Still chasing the feeling
We’re chasing the feeling

It’s a long look in the mirror
Your reflection getting clearer
As you breathe out

Chasing The Feeling

This song is very special to me as it’s about my momma. It tells the story of her growing up in New Orleans, a young girl living during segregation, bringing up 4 kids as a single mother, losing everything in 3 major Hurricanes (including Hurricane Katrina)...plus her name sounds like Superman’s girlfriend ‘Lois Lane’ (which I reference in the song). Thank you all for supporting me on my journey, and for streaming and sharing. It means the world to me! 🙏🏽

[LYRICS]
Her name is Lois Lang
But she ain’t have no superman
She's a creole queen
Born down in New Orleans
Her name is Lois Lang
Sweet like sugarcane
She's a creole queen
Born down in New Orleans
 
Louisiana chile
Born in the south
Nineteen forty-three
So imagine what she's seen
Mr. Crow was in the air
Magnolias in her hair
Hollygrove girl
With tight press and curl
 
Sittin’ on the porch
Waiting for the sun to shine
Dinah’s on the radio
She's got tears in her eyes
You can feel the heat
Coming off Clouet Street 
Sweaty nights on the bayou
Lord have mercy on me 

Her name is Lois Lang
But she ain’t have no superman
(No superman)
She's a creole queen
Born down in New Orleans
Her name is Lois Lang
Sweet like sugarcane
(Like sugarcane)
She's a creole queen
Born down in New Orleans

Fell deep in love
Walkin’ in the 9th ward
Seventeen years
She tried to persevere
She loved my daddy
Until things fell apart
She’s an old school girl
Who lived with her heart

Four babies on her hips
She ain’t let her backbone slip
She’s strong like them hurricanes
Ya can't forget their names
Betsy and Katrina
You can hear them scream loud
Goddamn Mississippi
Keep me runnin’
 
Her name is Lois Lang
But she ain’t have no superman
(No superman)
She's a creole queen
Born down in New Orleans
Her name is Lois Lang
Sweet like sugarcane
(Like sugarcane)
She's a creole queen
Born down in New Orleans

Sweet 
Sweet 
Like sugarcane
(Like sugarcane)
Sweet 
Sweet 
Like sugarcane
(Like sugarcane)
Sweet 
Sweet 
Like sugarcane
(Like sugarcane)

Sugar Woman
