Allen Anthony - Alright

[miket262001]

why ?

[555Dragoon]

underrated song. very beautiful

[jamirosparro]

Thanks to TheCalebson for sending me this.... This track makes me fly

[sheldonp13918]

There could never be a better beat than this straight up message yet under rated big time

[mrlif305]

Freeway ruined the song and the message. I'm always going to love this original version better.

[dagr8rylz]

@mrlif305 yeah this beat deserves better lyrics then "crush the club tonight with a watch from the robb report" but what you expect this came out when all the rappers were trying to be thugs

[drsc]

While that old dude drinks that "Exploitation", my man Allen drinks Poland Spring. LMAO.

[757CitiesReppa]

this was a unrespected classic...this some REAL shit....shot out my B-more...and Philly niggas

[muzikluvr1231]

where is this dude now? He made good music.....

[dagr8rylz]

@muzikluvr1231 Unfortunately last time I saw Rell one of Rocafella R&B artists he was riding the train. Alot of them that were on da Roc arent doing to good.

[ceecup]

this song does NOT need Freeway.....great tune, strong message.

[vstarr89]

This track is so real and it actually has a meaning people from all walks of life can relate to. I love it.

[visornet24]

money won't change your life ?

[MrJones42574]

2 people ain't alright!!!!!!!!!

[JF211ify]

if only more songs where like this 1

[UnfundedLiabilitiesM]

Lyrics, Voice, Instrumental, Video - All Good

[Lebron23825]

He is the real exampleof keepin it real and this is agoodsong to listen to when you're feelin down

[attmv5]

Real

[bcayce2003]

I love this song! For some reason it was just in my head...

[MsTantalize]

omg i been looking for this song every where. I finally find the song through a tribe called quest electric relaxation.

[mikemusica]

Temporarily go back to the 90's:

i.mixcloud(dot)com/C7KWd

Please thumbs up if you enjoyed it!

[mikemusica]

Real music!!!

[OSixx]

ha i didnt know they had a version without Freeway

[3BuckHead]

underated song

[JoshuaAetherAlston]

Damn man i almost cried to this version..especially when i first saw the autistic kid. Reminds me of my brother.

[TheCalebson]

This is a really cool song! Great message!

[4TheLoveofMichael]

I like this song. I loved Full of Smoke by Christion too

[GrandRuffian]

What if I sang this on the VOICE friday?? (thinking out loud)

[mrlif305]

Man, freeway did this song no justice at all.

[sisterdred]

Mean PLAY

[sisterdred]

I place this song every morning to work. Love it, can't get more real than this

[cfgoodygoody]

i hope Allen Anthony makes a comeback! i've been missing music like this! there's not enough positive, conscious music like this in mainstream music today.

[robdaswinga]

I dont know why this version didnt go mainstream. It seems like ther's no room for conscious R$B or hip hop anymore.

[1trl2]

This is my shit. I still play this when i'm a lil depressed. The freeway version is cool but this is better!

[geechieboysc]

good song....when im down and out, this is my theme music and makes me think positive

[antgerm21]

I love this song, I use to listen to this all the time

[Starocean980]

"Money won't change my life, but it will make things better, sometimes we need a struggle, to reach for something better" Nothing more inspirational.

[MsDjDevine]

this song reminds me of my uncle even when i was 5 and 6 when he died

I Love you uncle RIP

[peacheslovesjesus]

The song is nice for the beat and hook alone.

[chakazulu87]

@peacheslovesjesus  That's the only part you like?

[urlgravy]

this song gets me choked up in a ggod way. Very inspiratioal

[HoneyDippedPromo]

the is one of my favorite songs!! this version with freeway is much better!!! and it was soooooooooooooo underrated!!

[croland0071]

This is one of my favorite songs ever!!!!!

[AsghedomHaben]

How come there aren't lyrics for this? I only get the one ft. Freeway?? 

[SuperNumber777]

I can't believe I'm sayin' this... But---thank you Vevo for having the Original version of this song without Freeway.

[kuntere]

thats my man

[SummerBaby1984]

The 2 ppl that dislike this video & song must definitely not be alright. So sad. SMH.

[diamondd83]

Vevo doesn't not show up on my blkbry :-(

[kedordu]

very spiritual music . 

[kay77764]

THIS IS DEFINITELY MOTIVATION MUSIC!

[kay77764]

OMG!!! I LOVE LOVE THIS SONG!!!! I PLAY THIS SONG ALL THE TIME THANK YOU SO MUCH ALLEN ANTHONY FOR SUCH A BEAUTIFUL & INSPIRING SONG=)

[keishabeamon]

@kay77764 ,,,we definately need more like it now days!!!!!!

[nelsonvashawn]

this is what keep me goin

[kay77764]

@nelsonvashawn i feel ya on that:)

[JRyaBoi]

I've felt so shity had to move out muh apartment lost my job fam ain't tryna look out for me like i did them but..... it's songs like this that u hear and make u think that thing's will be alright with faith and beleive change can happen for you

[serrribral]

Still don't understand why Roc-A-Fella Records never put "Alright" out as a single. It's a powerful record and easy to listen to. Would've easily gone platinum if they did, in my opinion.

[geeman856]

Did the album ever came out? This is one of the songs that get me thru da hardtimes.. Like freeway said on his version "this is that feelin music ya know? We make music you can feel.... Early"! Lol

[lisaray101]

This song always got me through HARD times.

[topik627]

REALITY!

[effmunee]

Who is the 1 person who doesn't like this! It must be his ex partner from Christion!

[kinstube]

NO CHOICE GOTTA LOVE THIS !!!!!!!

[kinstube]

NO CHOICE, GOTTA LOVE THIS !!!!!!!

[KiidBamBam515]

omg ...in 2003 was the best year for music i swear becuase back then music just had that effect like this song does. thank god for lettin me find this song finally

[232dallas]

This is my sh*t! Everything Gonna Be ALRIGHT!!!

[ThaTrillMagician]

The beginning shall be the end and the end shall be the beginning.

[misslittlemomma]

This song is so underrated

[keesimo]

@misslittlemomma I believe because it's not a dumbed down song.

[ClintonPlace9]

Powerful Song Here

[MrYouzamiou]

conrddddddddd!!§

[KiDKeYz1000]

Did JustBlaze Produced This?

[bigbaybee87]

@KiDKeYz1000 Yea

[lonerurouni287]

MAN this song was hard for me to find. Been searching everywhere since I didn't know the artist and barely knew the lyrics.....very good song.

[kedordu]

this is a classic rnb song . sometimes it makes me cry . some times it makes me wanna break shit , some times it makes me wanna love .thru this song god speaks to me crystal clear . its like the new millenium human nature , or under the bridge .

[DW1014]

This kind of song don't exist anymore instint classic when I first heard this song I knew I would always like this song it don't get old

[beycity]

**SOMETIME WE HAVE TO STRUGGLE IN ORDER TO REACH FOR SOMETHING BETTER**

[allensarchive]

Lyrics by Allen Anthony this worlds a crazy place filled with such misery I wipe teardrops from my face my wife's mama's having problems my child is having problems don't know how I can solve em now money won't change my life but it will make it better sometimes we need a struggle to reach for something better take charge of your own life you may not understand me but I'm trying to save my family

[Lebron23825]

WHENEVA IM FEELIIN DOWN AND FEEL LIKE GIVING UP I PLAY THIS SONG TO REMIND ME THAT EVERYTHING IS GOIN TO B ALRIGHT. THIS SONG SHOULD'VE CAME OUT THIS YEAR AND DEDICATED TO THE PEOPLE WHO FEEL LIKE THEY HAVE NO1 ELSE TO TURN TO.

[lisaray101]

I love this its so positive with a good message. I really need to hear this right now cuz my situations make feel like imma cry X::(

[Poullard78]

@lisaray101 Don't cry, keep your head up, and never give up. No matter what you're going through, always tell yourself, it 'he' can bring you too it, he can bring you through it.

[dubzero15]

this song makes me ball in tears... i thank God for this song

[Lebron23825]

@dubzero15 JUS LIKE THA SONG SAY EVERYTHYNG IS GONE B ALRIIGGGHT

[xploara]

What happened 2 this cat?! This song inspired the God in me to RISE UP!!!!!!

[MsPradaLady]

@xploara he is now a band called "a band called pain" ...its a hard rock group...they are very good...you should check it out. =)

[bossjack]

what cd is the song on

[nillawafers96]

Oh, now I remember why this song was so underrated...it's positive. Tsk, tsk, tsk, what is this world coming to????

[nillawafers96]

I finally found the version without freeway...Yay! This song was so underrated. :(

[TheKarizmaticOne]

@nillawafers96 yes!!!! when he borrowed allen's song to use it was nice, but i loved the original. was waiting for this dude to come out with more music. clearly that's not gonna happen cus i have been waiting since before myspace was hot :|

[Bachirali]

Let's get back to the basics, Allah (GOD), Family, Employment, and Ummah (community). To all my love ones, RISE.......

[TEEYEASCHOOLS]

Contemporary R&B. Got a Hip Hop Structure to it.

[Theblonko]

This song is so inspirational,so motivational and so morally backed up.This is what I'd consider as soul music.This is so hype.Never heard anything like it.This is indeed one of a kind.Everyone out there,just keep on keeping it real.Life is too deep and could only be understand thru experience.This shit is real,open ur ears people of the world.

[TheJourneyalone]

I was a teenager and this was a hood anthem to us Youngins!

[iamsimplyjames]

To strong for the masses.

Best slept on song of 03.

This is a movie in vocal.

[MsMJfanforever]

This video is the TRUTH! THIS is the type of song/music that BET,etc... needs to be PROMOTING, not all that fake, wack-ass rap.... they call "music."

STAND UP FOR "SOMETHING", OR YOU'LL FALL FOR ANYTHING.

[aiwal13]

You may NOT understand me! But im trying to save my FAMILY! This song holds so much weight with me as it inspired me through a moment in 2003. And as i listen to it now it becomes so much more relevant. Lets be better yall. Not do or hope for better. "BE" better.

[TheKobieChronicles]

This amazing song and video are in line with the spirit of Black music. It is better for 100k people to receive, be inspired and share such a great song, than for 2M to be corrupted with that which promotes destruction. Thanks for sharing.

[calantray]

He the lead singer of a rock group named a band called pain. But this is the joint

[jlemaire22]

I think many of you didn't listen to Freeway's words. It may not have been for you but it was for someone "secular" in need. The message comes in many forms my people. Both versions are powerful.

[DontFlatterUrselfSon]

This is good WATER....

[GraffitiSlammer]

@DontFlatterUrselfSon Lmao

[NvrSettle]

This was a great song. Still is. He and the bro need to make music again!

[Dang64]

Thank you peacheslovesjesus for the message. I needed this because I feel like the weight of the world on my shoulders is going to kill me. I'm working a dead-end job taking care of my mother and it feels like it's not enough, that I should do more. But thank you for this encouraging message. God be with me and with us all!!

[1983rahzee]

iam always alrite...east coast bannga....

[dartangan73]

solid joint. The backgroung Synthesiser sounds like a cut by another neo soul cat. It's on the tip of my tongue. F!

[MzMeanE]

@dartangan73 This guy was 1/2 of the duo Cristión back in '96.

[dartangan73]

@MzMeanE Those cats j-zay was reppin?

[dartangan73]

@dartangan73 ooops jay z

[dartangan73]

@MzMeanE I see he switched speeds.... Christion had a few decent cuts, but it was more gimmicky----the pimped out slick shyt music. This is more meat and potatoes----songs that stick to the soul.

[MzMeanE]

@dartangan73 You is so crazy: "slick shyt music" LOL

[dcee2368]

i always loved this track from the moment i heard it, even the Freeway version, but this track by Allen Anthony is the bomb!

[peacheslovesjesus]

"ALRIGHT... Baby dont you cry...ALRIGHT....everything is gonna be alright" Thats the LORD talking to me now.....JESUS IS LORD NO mATTER WHAT!

[cirethgr8]

Great song !  Favors Malcolm X too ! lol

[djghorizon]

Deep Track.. Its Funny How radio wont play this..... But get a song that gloryfies ,greed,killing,pride.,and sex,, and they are all over it..... Sad..... Lord Help Us All ...

[peacheslovesjesus]

@djghorizon so sad...pray for them...hollywood/jayz needs help.

[renee092281]

@djghorizon I def agree with you on that !!!!!!

[iamsofly08]

wish they added the harmony part from the end of the track on the video. the best part

[ChicagoStar1]

I dedicate this to all those out there in a struggle...Things shall get better for us and those around. Be cool

[nddot]

dope song indeed. Does anybody knows the name of the synth used in the hook?

[kaymeena]

i was searching for this song too. i couldn't think of the singer's name. i love it. great message!!!

[Super13k]

true true guud music!

[Reggaefusionlives]

same damn thing with me ... i always type anthony anderson ... finally found this shit! 2003 back in da days

[ladyraven30]

So strengthening! I love this!

[peacheslovesjesus]

I asked GOD to help me find this song, and HE did...good message, except faith w/out works is dead...EVERYTHING WILL BE ALRIGHT WHEN YOU TAKE A STEP AND GOD LEADING YOU AND YOU OBEYING HIM>>>JUST LEAVE IT UP TO JESUS...GOTTA REACH FOR JESUS...HOLY SPIRIT WILL GUIDE YOU...GOD has mighty plans for all of us, just open yourself to HIM...if you receive this, than great,because I am not t rying to preach, but GOD/JESUS has been good to me, and HE can/will be good to you, If you dont feel this, than..

[Bahamianbully]

@peacheslovesjesus THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT. You touched me today.

[peacheslovesjesus]

@Bahamianbully Receive it and run with it, in JESUS name....and the only "bully" you be is a bully against the enemy...i cover you in the blood of JESUS CHRIST as you fight the enemy, led by GOD in the name of JESUS thru the power of the HOLY GHOST...GOD IS WITH YOU....Deut.32:30 How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, except their Rock had sold them, and the LORD had shut them up? AMEN! To GOD be the GLORY FOREVER! ALLELEUIA!

[MzMeanE]

@peacheslovesjesus Girl, this song is what I need in my current situation!!

[peacheslovesjesus]

@MzMeanE You are not the only one...trust...Just beleive when you pray...I learned that today in church.

[sentidocomunve]

@peacheslovesjesus Harder than finding this song in a decent quality, is finding the full lyrics for it. But this is one of the BEST themes I've heard in my entire life. Too bad is so overlooked. =<

[cutemama007]

@peacheslovesjesus shut up. 

[openmind1812]

@peacheslovesjesus.... i think the song is just trying to tell people not to give up and work to be good people and live good lives, that concept is universal not religious

[peacheslovesjesus]

@openmind1812 NOOOOO!!! I THINK YOU ARE WRONG AND I AM RIGHT; I AM ALWAYS RIGHT!!!! (lol) Just kidding; to each his own when it comes to songs and how they affect us. I just love JESUS so much that anything good and inspiring, I am going to give HIM all the GLORY---HE is just that glorious and gangsta at the same time!!! 'YALL DON'T HEAR ME!'

[kimmdenson09]

@peacheslovesjesus i agree

[snoopdog44144]

@peacheslovesjesus ..hey i feel you.. it always had a soulful feel as well

[Poullard78]

@peacheslovesjesus This song helped me get through some trying times while living in Maryland active duty in the U.S. Navy. This honestly become my theme song. And still is to this day.

[kay77764]

@peacheslovesjesus AAAAMEN! WELL SAID! i tried to thumb up and i couldnt for sum reason but I FEEL YA!=)

[anotherfunkydrummer]

Conceptually Beautiful! What a great track! The example of positive music!! Alright Allen Anthony!

[poet215]

i remember bumping this on the paid in full soundtrack...such an amazing song and the best jus blaze beat next to hovi baby

[Vortex4001]

MAN I REALLY LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!!!!!!

[neugent101]

Damn man what happened to this dude yo, he was the truth

[DrZaius007]

where they hell can i get this single???

[reamallday]

This has to be one of Just Blaze best beats ever.

[lifestraight]

Good R&B with a nice message.

[dlj798]

I always thought this song was classic and never understood the necessity for the Freeway version.

[BermudaEntrepreneur]

probably over commercialism.

[MzMeanE]

@dlj798 That other version is a M.E.S.S!! It destroys the beauty of the track and the message in the song...

[peacheslovesjesus]

@MzMeanE yeah...every song doesnt need a rap version....I listen to this song for the message, I dont listen to secular for the most part anymore...personal prefernce in my walk, not to condemn anyone...BUT, when I did listen to secular, I rememeber the first 112 cut...it was ok by itself, didntneed big

[TuTu99o]

@dlj798 i knOw right

[StoneyStarks]

@dlj798 l Feel like Slappin you for Saying that Both Versions are great

[dartangan73]

@dlj798 agreed.

[Theblonko]

@dlj798 The freeway version is equally as hype my dear friend.It's talks about the same things but from another perspective.Get with the program homie.Cheers.

[ROBADON21]

@dlj798 THEY BOTH STILL WENT HARD...

[Djknocka85]

@dlj798 me either the original is much better

[pumagear]

@dlj798 did you buy the CD?

[thakozhani]

@dlj798 right..freeways verse totally contridicts the songs msg

[jmood88]

Man, Freeway just ruined this song. The only reason I kept the Freeway version is cause I can't find Allen Anthony's version anywhere.

[biko49]

correction song is called "full of smoke"

[biko49]

this dude use 2 be on rocafella records in a group called "christion" him an another dude song called "watching my life go down"

[Blackdon04]

SON! Do u know how LONG i have been lookin for this song!!??!?!

[3Dimensional3]

A lot of people don't know that this was the original track, then they put Freeway on and fucked it up. I love the ROC, but they messed it up putting Free on there. Allen Anthony could have brought much more business to the ROC with this as a lead single.

[MasterJace]

Jesus, I've been trying to find out what this song is called for almost three years.

[lildancinbaby527]

OMG YOU TOO?!?!? i've been going crazy searching Alright, but for the life of me i could not figure out who sang this song!! i'm so fricken happy right now!!! :)

[AHOT123]

yeah this song was hard i didnt to much care for jay z but he had good people on the label this cat didnt get much recognition

[corantmil]

Bingo u hit nail on the head..thats y beans left..Jay is shady

[bluryflury]

i love this song i'm surprised i did not hear this song until last year.

[epifani12]

My favorite song ever....so deep.

[markalisman]

man, first time i heard this song, i had to cop it.. dis song deep.

[mrpostman730]

To me, this is the GREATEST SONG in my LIFETIME........I want this played @ my Funeral....Real Talk......Will all gotta go, this is want I to be send off to........
