It’ll Be OK

Lyrics

[Intro] Mic check, one, two, one, two Um, dim them lights or turn 'em off if you can't dim 'em I would prefer to have 'em dimmed, but If that's-the only option is off, then we'll go off Listen [Verse 1] By the second story on the news, I've had enough I'm on my way into the game, but dudes are shootin' at my bus And I'm starvin' for success, but no one cares enough to sponsor me The fire's on its way and I'm preparin' all my property It's terrible, but honestly, my self-worth is American economy 'Cause I'm constantly scared it's gonna drop on me I never won the lottery, therefore, I didn't break free It takes more than nine-hundred dollars to stimulate me But I happily accept it and with it, do exactly what's expected I never had to practise bein' reckless (nah) It wouldn't make me rich though and that's for sure Though I still love that I'm havin' more than I've ever had before Regardless of this money shit, I don't wanna dwell on no stores What the fuck do I need shell toes for? If nothin' left for any one o' them to sell no more I've never had so much, but I've never felt so poor And in case you couldn't read between the lines when I was spellin' it I meant like personal, the finance is irrelevant That's when I comprehend it a lot The money doesn't make you happy, (nah) it just makes you forget that you're not Yeah, and even then, it's barely temporary I mean it's no surprise, the shit is sedentary, still, yet it's scary So until I'm dead and buried in the cemetery I'm gonna be gettin' there by any means necessary [Chorus] This isn't meant to be a sad song or gettin' to complain I'm tryna be the man, Tom, let me just explain This isn't somethin' that a rough week brought about I just wanna talk about the things that need sortin' out I just wanna get across a few things I usually don't say Save your tears, I don't need no shame Don't want no one to feel pity over me, no way I just want someone to tell me it'll be OK, OK? [Post-Chorus] This ain't a negative song, this ain't a sad song This just a song that sometimes that Life ain't a fairytale and sometimes the motherfucker in the mirror isn't Prince Charmin' So take it how you wanna take it But just feel what I'm sayin' because it's straightforward honesty right here [Verse 2] They say, "Why ain't he goin' out much? Why ain't he got a girl?" "If he's so damn smart, why ain't he takin' on the world?" "Why'd he fuck up school? Why'd he never go to uni?" Fuck that, first try to comprehend what's goin' through me I would love to explain it 'cause people deserve it I would love to shut the fuck up, succeed and be perfect When you're swimmin' for your life and the bein' is worthless The sharks swim deeper than what people see on the surface My close friends can't properly see Our mix is more like a solution, (nah) except it's now a problem for me So when they tell me not to act so confidently I'm so insecure inside that it's ironic to me So if my punches are hard, I can give you songs to pump in the car Pick somethin' apart, spit hundreds of bars But sometimes I go deep and feel every letter 'Cause punchlines'd never made me feel any better Plus there's time on my side, I'm privately tryin' to seek attention (what?) But publicly, I'm tryna hide Plus now, I go online and I find A million Facebook friends whose lives seem more excitin' than mine And it's rare for me to ever see that jealousy Especially when every person on the shit is there because they're friends with me A new chance is comin' next for me If I fuck it up enough, eventually this shit will be a pregnancy [Chorus] This isn't meant to be a sad song or gettin' to complain I'm tryna be the man, Tom, let me just explain This isn't somethin' that a rough week brought about I just wanna talk about the things that need sortin' out I just wanna get across a few things I usually don't say Save your tears, I don't need no shame Don't want no one to feel pity over me, no way I just want someone to tell me it'll be OK, OK? This isn't meant to be a sad song or gettin' to complain I'm tryna be the man, Tom, let me just explain This isn't somethin' that a rough week brought about I just wanna talk about the things that need sortin' out I just wanna get across a few things I usually don't say Save your tears, I don't need no shame Don't want no one to feel pity over me, no way I just want someone to tell me it'll be OK, OK?
