I started at the beginning
Hold 'em off until I'm done
Then I got things to do, places left to run
I was born into a storm, a heartache miles wide
Mama kicking down burning crosses on the westside
Oh, my daddy was the greatest
They tried dragging him to hell
You can't break that man in a cell
He ain't the one
On his knees, begging Jesus, while they tore him down to pieces
Not begging for himself, just for his son

I won't trade my story, I won't trade my pain
This fire that builds inside the battle
If you're here to rescue me, you're too late
I'm alright, I'm alright, I'm alright
I'm alright, I'm alright, I'm alright

I'm alright
I'm alright

Oh, life is coming at you, throwing hatchets out in batches
If you're gonna live your stand you'll never run
I thought you knew you can't choose what trouble's coming after you
And can't you see, oh boy, that's half the fun

I won't trade my story, I won't trade my pain
This fire that builds inside the battle
If you're here to rescue me, you're too late
I'm alright, I'm alright, I'm alright
I'm alright, I'm alright, I'm alright

I'm alright (I'm alright)
I'm alright
I'm alright (ooh, yeah)

Traigo conmigo historia
Mis luchas comuna bandera
Enterada mi alma mi corazon
Pero traigo conmigo candela
Traigo conmigo candela

I won't trade my story, I won't trade my pain
This fire that builds inside the battle
If you're here to rescue me, you're too late
I'm alright, I'm alright, I'm alright
I'm alright, I'm alright, I'm alright

I'm alright, I'm alright
I'm alright
Can't you see I'm like my daddy
I'm alright, I'm alright, I'm alright
