1. 개요
2015년 3월 24일에 발매된 켄드릭 라마의 앨범 To Pimp A Butterfly의 7번 트랙이자 싱글이다.
여담으로 뮤직비디오에서 곡이 시작되기 전, 2:10부터 나오는 곡은 아직까지 유출조차 되지 않았으며, 많은 켄드릭의 팬들이 이 곡이 세상에 나오기만을 기다리고 있다.
2. 상세
이 앨범의 15번 트랙 i와 함께 가장 대중적이고 인기있는 곡이다. 켄드릭 라마 최고의 명곡 중 하나이며, 동시에 힙합 역사상 가장 위대한 명곡들 중 하나로 꼽힌다. 인종차별을 노래하는 대표적 노래이기도 하다.'Nigga, we gon' be alright!'하는 인상적인 훅 부분은 프로듀서로 참여한 퍼렐 윌리엄스의 목소리이며, 이 훅은 미국에서 벌어진 'Black Lives Matter' 운동에서 구호로 사용되기도 했다.
앞선 트랙 'u'에서의 무거운 분위기가 이 곡에서 갑자기 밝은 분위기로 반전되는데, 이는 이 곡의 인트로와 good kid, m.A.A.d city에도 나왔듯이 켄드릭이 기독교에 귀의하였기 때문이다. 켄드릭은 이 곡에서 하느님이 우리를 지켜주시니 우리는 괜찮을 것이라는 희망적인 가사를 노래하지만 동시에 두 번째 벌스에서 "루시(Lucy)"라고 불리는 악마가 화자로 등장해 켄드릭을 유혹하기도 한다. 여기서 루시는 첫 곡 Wesley's Theory에서 엉클 샘이 했던 구절을 그대로 다시 읊는데, 이는 곧 악마의 정체가 사람들 서로가 서로를 착취하게 만드는 미국 사회 그 자체임을 은유한다.
2015 BET AWARDS 올해의 곡 수상작이며, 피치포크 선정 2010년대 최고의 싱글 1위로 선정되었다. 제58회 그래미 어워드에서 올해의 노래, 최고의 뮤직 비디오, 최우수 랩 퍼포먼스, 최우수 랩 송 부문에 노미네이트 되었으며, 그중 최우수 랩 퍼포먼스와 최우수 랩 송 부문을 동시에 수상하였다.

[Intro: Kendrick Lamar]
Alls my life, I has to fight, nigga
Alls my life, I—
Hard times like, "Yah"
Bad trips like, "Yah"
Nazareth
I'm fucked up, homie, you fucked up
But if God got us, then we gon' be alright
[Chorus: Pharrell Williams]
Nigga, we gon' be alright
Nigga, we gon' be alright
We gon' be alright
Do you hear me, do you feel me? We gon' be alright
Nigga, we gon' be alright
Huh? We gon' be alright
Nigga, we gon' be alright
Do you hear me, do you feel me? We gon' be alright
[Verse 1: Kendrick Lamar]
Uh, and when I wake up
I recognize you're looking at me for the pay cut
But homicide be looking at you from the face down
What MAC-11 even boom with the bass down?
Schemin', and let me tell you 'bout my life
Painkillers only put me in the twilight
Where pretty pussy and Benjamin is the highlight
Now tell my mama I love her, but this what I like, Lord knows
Twenty of 'em in my Chevy, tell 'em all to come and get me
Reapin' everything I sow, so my karma comin' heavy
No preliminary hearings on my record
I'm a motherfuckin' gangster in silence for the record, uh
Tell the world I know it's too late
Boys and girls, I think I've gone cray
Drown inside my vices all day
Won't you please believe when I say
[Pre-Chorus: Kendrick Lamar]
Wouldn't you know
We been hurt, been down before, nigga
When our pride was low
Lookin' at the world like, "Where do we go?" Nigga
And we hate po-po
Wanna kill us dead in the street for sure, nigga
I'm at the preacher's door
My knees gettin' weak and my gun might blow
But we gon' be alright
[Chorus: Pharrell Williams]
Nigga, we gon' be alright
Nigga, we gon' be alright
We gon' be alright
Do you hear me, do you feel me? We gon' be alright
Nigga, we gon' be alright
Huh? We gon' be alright
Nigga, we gon' be alright
Do you hear me, do you feel me? We gon' be alright
[Verse 2: Kendrick Lamar]
What you want you, a house? You, a car?
Forty acres and a mule? A piano, a guitar?
Anything, see my name is Lucy, I'm your dog
Motherfucker, you can live at the mall
I can see the evil, I can tell it, I know it's illegal
I don't think about it, I deposit every other zero
Thinkin' of my partner, put the candy paintin' on the Regal
Diggin' in my pocket, ain't a profit big enough to feed you
Every day, my logic get another dollar just to keep you
In the presence of your chico, ah
I don't talk about it, be about it, every day, I sequel
If I got it, then you know you got it, Heaven, I can reach you
Pat Dawg, Pat Dawg, Pat Dawg, my dog, that's all
Bick back and Chad, I trap the bag for y'all
I rap, I black on track, so rest assured
My rights, my wrongs, I write 'til I'm right with God
[Pre-Chorus: Kendrick Lamar]
Wouldn't you know
We been hurt, been down before, nigga
When our pride was low
Lookin' at the world like, "Where do we go?" Nigga
And we hate po-po
Wanna kill us dead in the street for sure, nigga
I'm at the preacher's door
My knees gettin' weak, and my gun might blow
But we gon' be alright
[Chorus: Pharrell Williams]
Nigga, we gon' be alright
Nigga, we gon' be alright
We gon' be alright
Do you hear me, do you feel me? We gon' be alright
Nigga, we gon' be alright
Huh? We gon' be alright
Nigga, we gon' be alright
Do you hear me, do you feel me? We gon' be alright
[Outro: Kendrick Lamar & Thundercat]
I keep my head up high
I cross my heart and hope to die
Lovin' me is complicated
Too afraid of a lot of changes
I'm alright, and you're a favorite
Dark nights in my prayers
[Poem: Kendrick Lamar]
I remembered you was conflicted
Misusing your influence, sometimes I did the same
Abusing my power, full of resentment
Resentment that turned into a deep depression
Found myself screamin' in the hotel room
I didn't wanna self-destruct
The evils of Lucy was all around me
So I went runnin' for answers ||
