"I'll Be Alright" is an unreleased Kanye West song that was created during the Good Ass Job sessions. The song features a lot of Kanye West mumbling and singing.[1]
In this track, Kanye raps about how he is going to be fine when he is alone and other relationship problems. He also raps about his love for god.
Background[]
This song was recorded near/or on April 7, 2009, as the file that was leaked was originally dated April 7, 2009.[2] This tune was leaked March 3, 2023. The track has singing and production very similar to Kanye West's 808s & Heartbreak yet, that album was released on November 24, 2008. According to trusted sources, the version of the track that was leaked was less than half of the full song. It is unknown if this song was cut or if it was a bounce.[3]
Rumor[]
On March 5, 2023 (Two days after "I'll Be Alright" leaked) an article by William Mullally on EsquireMe.com was released.[4] This article stated that Good Ass Job was replaced with 808s & Heartbreak which is not true as Good Ass Job was mainly being made after 808s & Heartbreak. Anyway, the article also talks about how this song resembles 808s & Heartbreak's aesthetic rather than Graduation and how the song was recorded in 2007-2008, which based on the leaked file it might not be. The article's title: ""I’ll Be Alright”: Lost Kanye West 808s & Heartbreak-era song surfaces online" also directs the reader into thinking that the song was intended for 808s & Heartbreak or made during the 808s & Heartbreak era, which it most likely wasn't.[5] A few other untrusted sources have stated that the song was intended for 808s & Heartbreak as well.[4][6]
Lyrics[]
[Intro: Kanye West]
Na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na
Na, alright
[Verse 1: Kanye West]
Alright, alright
I don’t know if you love the na-na-na-na
But I been on my own
And now I’ll be alright
Sit down, I’ll grow distant, distant
Fa-fa-falling, all them listen
Did I mention my love for God?
Did I take too long to love you
Fall-fall on the ball
I’m not God
Maybe it’s not nothing for them both
[Chorus: Kanye West]
I’ll be alright
Alright, hey *harmonizing*
I’ll be alright
Alright, hey-hey
And I’ll be alright, hey
[Verse 2: Kanye West]
Lovers, sisters
Society told ’em don’t love nobody
All you get older in loving time
You have enough time to be in love, be in love
So we’ll just run, facing
Time is on your side
Young lovers, don’t give up
Don’t got ’em, I’m on my
Um, lovin’ lover boy
You got enough timе to fall in love
[Chorus: Kanye West]
Alright, hey-aye
I’ll bе alright
Alright, hey-aye
Na-na-na-na
I don’t know if you care enough
But I’ll be alright
Alright
[Verse 3: Kanye West]
Loving, facing
Boredom, boredom, morrow, come through
Something, so soon, so far, I’m gone
Dum, dum, dum
They’ve seen, battle, battle
Bom, bom
