We're Okay

Twenty years old
And I don't really got a clue
Till about a year ago, see
Playing football was all I knew
MVP Star recruit
Thinking I was making moves
Then my Freshman year
I dropped out of school
Never felt so alone
Apparently was making it by
Sit in my room and I'd cry
Constantly wondering why
Falling behind? Losing my mind
Searching for something I never could find
Wasting my time, working for dimes
Sick of me sitting and waiting in line
Picked up a pen, writing these songs in my head
Hoping my music would spread
Like this is my passion, most of my songs and they laughing
Funny now who the one laughing?
Look at what happened, records they smashing
Riches and heights and I couldn't imagine
Came a long way from the basement and rapping
Giving my all just to make this happen
Night after night, write and I write
Praying my story is saving a life
I've been there too, been in those shoes
Listen to which, just to help me get though
See, it's more than just music, more than my likes and my views
It's more than my pain and my bruises
It's loving and losing, more than a drink and consuming
And more than a dream I'm pursuing, and that's real

And we've all been up, and we've all been down
And we've all had days that we don't wanna talk about
But I know (know-know-know, know-know-know, know)
That it's okay (know-know-know, know-know-know, know)
That you're okay
And we've all been hurt, and we've all felt pain
And we've all had days where we can barely restrain
But I know (know-know-know, know-know-know, know)
That it's okay (know-know-know, know-know-know, know)
That you're okay

May 21st, 2013
Me and my bro were driving home in what seemed like a dream
I woke up to these people, tons of police on the scene
My car was in pieces, turn to my left, my brother was fighting to breathe
I stayed in my house, writing these songs while he up in the ICU
Sick of these fake friends and this fake love I could see right through
I knew I was crazy for dreaming, but dreaming is just something I do
And you better believe that six months later, he was saying goodbye to the hospital room
Said "Fuck that, this ain't it, I refuse for my life to be this."
Sick of this shit, he worked and he worked
Giving his all, never called quits
So we all have a choice, a choice to be something we choose
I'm doing what I wanna do
Fuck what they say, I'm counting the lives that change
Not worried with money I make
I mean that for real, everyone feels
Never alone cause everyone's fighting their hell
Everyone's searching for something that's more than these jobs and these bills
It's all about will, I'm reaching my hand
I'm hoping these people can see what I can
More than a product, more than a brand
I'd do this for us and I mean nobody's demands

And we've all been up, and we've all been down
And we've all had days that we don't wanna talk about
But I know (know-know-know, know-know-know, know)
That it's okay (know-know-know, know-know-know, know)
That you're okay
And we've all been hurt, and we've all felt pain
And we've all had days where we can barely restrain
But I know (know-know-know, know-know-know, know)
That it's okay (know-know-know, know-know-know, know)
That you're okay

That it's okay
That you're okay
