Alright, I'm Wrong - Flaco Jimenez

I laid awake, in my bed, all night long last night. Thinking about everything that's going on, in my life. And I came to the conclusion that all of my confusion is natural. It's not a crazy notion, like water in the ocean has it's flow. So I'm alright. I took a breath, closed my eyes, came to God humbly. I didn't ask for answer but, Lord, You answered me. You gave me Your direction, like still waters' clear reflection, You helped me see. That Your will is the best, and I don't have to stress, if I believe. He said, "Be still and know that I am God," rest knowing that I have fought this war for you. There's no shame in feeling lost; broken paths lead to the cross. So you'll be alright. Now I know that life might always be just one confusing mess. But I will do the best and I can and let You do the rest.

This is the place for celebrating This is the crowd that's fascinating This is the time for concentrating To hear some words worth translating He's rapping 'bout his meditating She's dying for some medicating And though I shouldn't be complaining What's lacking here is entertaining We're all looking for a good time But what we get is empty rhyme When everything's right but nothing's fine It's everything but partytime Talk about redecorating A room that needs sophisticating When conversations become straining No one's good at interest feigning We're all looking for a good time But what we get is empty rhyme When everything's right but nothing's fine It's everything but partytime We're all looking for a good time But what we get is empty rhyme When everything's right but nothing's fine It's everything but partytime We're all looking for a good time But what we get is empty rhyme When everything's right but nothing's fine It's everything but partytime It's everything but partytime It's everything but partytime It's everything but partytime
