Byron Henderson - It’s Ok lyrics

Coming from a city where the
Bullets just don’t miss
Innocent or not dawg, every one is gon hit
Never needed rationality to melt your brain
But don’t trip though if this rubber grip
Will dead trouble, listen
That’s just what you gon get

Sometimes I feel as I’m all alone (that’s ok)
It’s getting harder every day I grow
(that’s ok)
Maybe it’s me, maybe I’m living wrong
(that’s ok)
Why can’t we all just learn to get along
(that’s ok)

Just smile for me smile for me
Hey, smile for me smile for me
Wait, smile for me smile for me
Please, smile for me smile for me

The room darkened
I start thinking that it’s too late
Forever destined to best fate
Spit in the Devil’s face
Ain’t got no time to explain to
Y’all how it’s not about me
Or how the world is better off without me
Peddling these thoughts
Like how can y’all just doubt me
Probably thinking
"He’ll never get far without me"
Child please, just do me a solid
Tell my people in case I bleed fast
That I’ll breathe, and that’s before I took
This dream and shot for the sun
Like Steve Nash

Marina used to say that one day
We would probably go crazy (crazy)
We used to laugh every day about this
But I don’t know lately (lately)
Sometimes we feel like we’re alone
It’s like nobody really wants to see us grow
We know that one day we’ll
All reap what we sow
So we’re wondering if this world
Will let us go, Ohhhh

They only watch us just to see us fall
(that’s ok)
They listen but they don’t believe at all
(that’s ok)
My life’s in danger every single day
(that’s ok)
I want to help, but all they see is prey
(that’s ok)

If I told you I was tired
Would you judge me?
Keep count of disappearances
Put everything above me?
Joke about how I’m feeling
Like where we live isn’t ugly?
Or think you can break my spirit
And kill me but never touch me?
See, I look at my babies and wonder if
We’ll be anything more than a couple victims
Of course, it’s another prison
But more important decisions await me
Like maybe I’m too different
The hood’s over my eyes, but the wool isn’t
Dog, you know that ish goes

Marina used to say that one day
We would probably go crazy (crazy)
We used to laugh every day about this
But I don’t know lately (lately)
Sometimes we feel like we’re alone
It’s like there’s no love in this
Place that we call home
We know that one day we’ll
All reap what we sow
So we’re wondering if this world
Will let us go, Ohhhh


Sometimes we feel like we’re alone
It’s like there’s no love in this
Place that we call home
We know that one day we’ll
All reap what we sow
So we’re wondering if this world
Will let us go, Ohhhh

We often wonder why we try
But for Aaliyah, I’ve been keeping hope alive
See they just met, and with that said
It kind of helps we seem to know a lot
But do we know ourselves? Ohhhh

Do you want to be happy?
Do you want to be free from pain?
Free from scars, free from chains
Free from all your fears?
Don’t leave me alone in this cruel
Cruel world
Don’t leave me alone in this cruel
Cruel world tell them it's okay
Tell them it's okay
I feel I could just die right now
And you’ll be fine
Marina told me look alive
I replied show me how
Tell them why I won’t apologize
Tell them why college ain’t for me
Tell them all why I’m traumatized
Tell them all freedom ain’t for free
Tell them all that it’s okay
Tell them all that it’s okay
Tell them all that I’ll never give in
Till the day I don’t have you
We both have a story to tell
You and I were never dripping in gold
Love a lot until you notice it
Fails and you become empty
Then I become empty
The day I took your blade from you
Was the day you saved me
It made something come alive
Maybe I was dying tears swelling up
Dampening navy blue hoodies
So what do we do
Should we go through with this?
Or do we continue with music
You met Aaliyah a week ago
And I don’t see myself leaving
The thought creeping slow
Like I don’t think I can do it
I love her too much, I love you too much
This is all too much I won’t lose it, dawg
It’s all useless call me when
You clear your mind up
If I’m to meet your father home girl
Then times up
Tell them it's okay, or maybe it’s too late
You were teaching me how to love me
And I F it
It’s probably time for me to say my goodbyes
Love & Peace to the loves of my life
Maybe I’m indecisive
Maybe I can’t turn my back on this Earth
Maybe as long as we’re alive together
That’s what it's worth
Maybe I have to stick it out with
You to show them this reality
Or maybe that it’s not okay
And it’s all static
