One of the terrible things about being in a cappella is that when you have a hammer, everything looks like a nail. Luckily, one of the great things about being in a cappella is that when you have a hammer, everything is a nail.
Alright is a modern R+B song by John Legend, off an album (Get Lifted) where — and I shit you not — basically every single song is about cheating in one way or another. Alright is about tempting other girls to cheat on their boyfriends with him. She Don't Have To Know is John Legend singing about cheating on his girlfriend. So is Used To Love U. Number One, Ordinary People, and Stay With You are all, promising not to cheat on his girlfriend any more. In I Can Change, it takes Snoop Dogg to convince John Legend not to cheat on his girlfriend.
Phenomenally, Number One guest stars Kanye West, who has perhaps my favorite verse of all time: a short interlude in which he talks to his penis and discovers it has a mind of its own and that it, not he, is responsible for cheating.
I suppose you was told by them hoes I was cheatin'
Thinkin' my heart don't got nothing to do with my penis
He got a mind of his own and he just be seeing shit
And I don't wanna cheat but I don't be saying shit
I try to jack off he ask me who is you playin' wit?
But I know he love you he told me you was his favorite
Oh. My. God.
