Be Okay

(album: Just Listen E.P. - 2005)

[Asher Roth:]
Dear ma, your baby boy's grown up, he's [?] now
And they say I'm gonna blow up at any minute now
Wait a minute, I'll admit it, nothing's really perfect
So much to learn in this earth, I'm only at the surface
So first I feel sick and weak with responsibility
Honestly why is it that people respond to me differently
Still a kid, if I cop a nice new whip
I'm still the Asher Roth they went to high school with
And back in high school, shit, all those kids I used to rap with
Coming right at me, saying "I got your back, kid"
Actually I can tell if they true friends of mine
On the side in their eyes they be seeing dollar signs
After [?] all my homework and repping Philly though
Girls stay asking me "Can I be in your video?"
I don't know, questions need to be answered that can't be
I can't stand it, as a man I came to the [?]

[Tavii:]
Just drive and drive (Just drive and drive)
Know I'm on your side (Know I'm on your side)
Life is hard sometimes (Life is hard)
Just realize
It'll be okay, it'll be okay, oh
It'll be okay, it'll be okay

[Asher Roth:]
I know you told me this would happen, I remember what you said about it
"If you make it Asher, you best have a level head about it"
Don't matter I'm always me, never gonna change up
Even if my boys complain that I don't hang up
Strange enough girls want their virginity taken fast
Saying they be feeling me even if I didn't rap
Is that a fact? Why these people saying "Hi" to me?
Take away my privacy, still it seems honorable
Obviously there ain't nothing wrong with that
I just laugh when they ask for an autograph
I just pass the dick riders and the gold diggers too
Since the truth's what's there before the money was too
So when that dust settles and I'm through being the man, see
I'm back to square one, just me and the family

[Tavii:]
Just drive and drive (Just drive and drive)
Know I'm on your side (Know I'm on your side)
Life is hard sometimes (Life is hard)
Just realize
It'll be okay, it'll be okay, oh
It'll be okay, it'll be okay

[?] the break of down
Momma never knew when I was coming home
See her eyes would swell from all the tears
And her mind stayed scared from all the fears
"Baby boy's not home, must be doing wrong
Lord, keep him safe 'cause he ain't full grown"
You made me everything I am today
I hope you realize it'll be okay (That's right)
