[Verse 1]
There's always been those times when I needed a breather
When I might need a quick break from being the leader
Cause I’m just human, you gotta feel that
We're all just here to learn and everyday we are put up to bat
If you feeling down, no you ain't alone
And if you feeling all confused, no you are not on your own
Don’t stress, yeah we're too blessed

[Pre-Chorus]
Someone once told me
Babe, when the tide gets high, you just get low
Hold your breath and take it slow
Yes I might get wet, I might get thrown
But I'll resurface all on my own

[Chorus]
I'll be alright, be alright
Just go with the tide
I'll be alright, be alright
I'll be doing fine
Be alright, be alright
Just go with the tide

[Pre-Chorus]
With the tide, I'll be alright
With the tide, I'll be alright
Be alright
I’ll be doing fine
I’ll be doing fine

[Verse 2]
I always have those days when I feel unworthy
When I sit back and ask God why he chose me
Cause I'm just human, just like you are
We see the same ol’ sky, at night we see the same stars
So if you feeling down, no you not alone
And if you feeling all confused
No, you are not on your own
Don't trip, baby just live

[Pre-Chorus]
Someone once told me
Babe, when the tide gets high, you just get low
Hold your breath and take it slow
Yes, I might get wet, I might get thrown
But I'll resurface all on my own

[Chorus]
I'll be alright, be alright
Just go with the tide
I’ll be alright, be alright
I'll be doing fine
Be alright, be alright
Just go with the tide

[Pre-Chorus]
With the tide, I'll be alright
With the tide, I'll be alright
Be alright
I'll be doing fine
I'll be doing fine

[Outro]
Be alright
Just go with the tide
I'll be alright, be alright
I'll be doing fine
Be alright, be alright
Just go with the tide

Oakland R&B singer Kehlani Parrish, better known as just Kehlani, first found fame on America’s Got Talent in 2011. Her group Poplyfe reached the final, losing to Landau Murphy.

Kehlani left Poplyfe after the show, but her solo career stalled for contractual reasons. She finally released her début solo project, Cloud 19, in 2014. A breezy, poppy mixtape, Cloud 19 flew largely under the radar, although Complex described it as “outstanding.”

2015 was Kehlani’s break-out year. Her sophomore mixtape, You Should Be Here, featured Chance The Rapper and BJ The Chicago Kid. It earned her national attention and even a Grammy nomination for Best Urban Contemporary, although it ultimately lost out to Beauty Behind the Madness by The Weeknd.
