[Kehlani, G-Eazy - Everything Will Be Ok lyrics]
Everything will be okay
Everything will be okay
Everything will be okay (Okay, okay)
Contemplating just who I coulda
Turned out to be
If I'da stayed and weren't heard
What would amount to me?
If I had looked and ain't found
What I have found in me i mean inside
Would they love me? Never looked down on me?
They say, "You know
If you loved her well then
You would have stayed
You could have made a perfect
Pair that people wouldn't trade"
Trade for nothing, I did though
I had to chase it
Face it, I wasn't born to live a life basic
They say, "You turned your back on us
Just to go and be an artist
What's a promise anyway when
Someone breaks it?
I bet he finally gets a shot
And then he wastes it
I bet he don't come back for
Us when he makes it
And if he do it'd be too late
You gotta face it
'Cause by then there's someone new
You been replaced with
Old friends I grew up with
The girl I fell in love with
Love or hate me depending on how you judge it
Even if I don't stay
(Even if I don't stay)
Everything will be okay
Everything will be okay
(I promise it'll be okay)
Everything will be okay (Okay, okay)
I had to wander
I had to go tread my own path
If you don't step through no mud
Well then it won't last
The years pass, it's crazy how they go fast
Ask myself questions you have
But that you won't ask
Like, "You don't even come home enough
Where were you when she was in the hospital
Huh? It was only us"
And that's deep and yeah, I know it cuts
But if that gets you
Then you're weak 'cause we were here
And it ain't broken us
Still as close and stayed by her
Side when no one was
Like when she lost her job and everything
How broke we was when she was sick and she
Needed some taking care of
A fifteen year old shouldered the weight
And what he was scared of
The worst, I know that you stayed strong
I don't say this enough
But you made me just as proud as you made Mom
Yeah, you got some anger
But I don't blame you at all
I know I don't call, but you're my brother
I love you
Even if I don't stay
(Even if I don't stay)
Everything will be okay
(It'll be, it'll be okay)
Everything will be okay
(I promise it'll be okay)
Everything will be okay (Okay, okay)
Yeah, in that first grade class
They came and got me "Your mom's outside
Say goodbye now to everybody"
U-Haul was waiting with all of her things
At least what she could pack
In the time my dad's at work
And before he came back
Way too young to comprehend
What was happening
"Are we going to grandma's? When
Are we coming back again?"
Little did I know that we
Were leaving him by himself
And ten years would pass before
Mom sees anybody else
Just us, in middle school
I ain't understand who Melissa was and why
She wasn't another man
Biased and confused, they try explain
But nobody can
Wanted what I thought was normal
She had another plan such is life
Even if it took time for me to accept it
No longer Dad now
But a woman with whom she slept with
Over the years when a secret
Was how she kept it
I ain't get it, admittedly I was skeptic
I came around
Happiness I see's what you may have found
And that's what's most important
I don't wanna see you breaking down
I wanna see you smile
I don't wanna see you make a frown
If she loves you
Then that's all anybody needs maybe now
By '05 things had gotten worse
Moved to the basement
Deep depression's a rotten curse
Hiding in a dark space
Her mind and her body hurts
Becoming more reclusive and the pills
Should have been alerts so the worse it got
I became more and more afraid
Until one night, I went into that room
On the floor she laid
I shook her, she was blue
Her skin was cold and she wasn't breathing
Screamed, "Melissa wake up"
Couldn't fathom that she was leaving
Mom and Bro was running down
I screamed "Somebody help"
Try pumping her chest, CPR
But it didn't help
Toughest pill to swallow, but we lost
That's forced reflection
While in her life you made her happy
Thank you for the blessing
Even if I don't stay
(Even if I don't stay)
Everything will be okay
(It'll be, it'll be okay)
Everything will be okay
(I promise it'll be okay)
Everything will be okay (Okay, okay)
