[Verse 1]
Who would have ever thought
I'd jump from you reading Velvetine Rabbit to me
To laughing at things that aren't even funny
I'm in the habit
Of being the loudest one in the room
Who's proudest of it?
Quiet covet
'Tween you and me about everything
But barely seen you 'round anyways
I ran away from home the other day
Like a renegade astray from his soul
Another mold on the potter's clay
What a day
Charcoal in the ashtray
Hope it don't start a fire
Hope I don't choke from their smoke
Only hang 'round the dope wise
Never bang with the no minds
I hope you heard me pray about changing lives
And changing ways
I hope you and God have heard it clear
And heard it straight
Mommy I need them to see me shine crystal
I ain't a fake
I ain't conceded
I just speak my mind simple
I hate how so many look down upon me
But don't decide to say it to my face
They got me pent up in a cage
[Break 1]
But Dad would always say I got it (You got it)
And you would always say its true
So I would listen to you tell The Tale
That I am trying to now tell you...
[Chorus]
It's alright
It's all fine
It's alright
It's okay
Alright?
All fine
Alright?
And you don't even gotta tell me alright?
It's okay
Just go on
You'll be fine
Alright?
And you don't even gotta tell me alright?
I feel you
[Bridge]
'Cuz I just wanna hopefully
Talk to you mostly
I just wanna hold you
Closely
I feel you
[Verse 2]
I wanna fly out
Text you, say I'm racing for a tryout
Just got your cellular and some music for us to try out only
(Like Always)
When communication dies
You got my full attention
Every time that I pry I swear there's good intentions behind it
(Damn)
I swear I'm reminded I'm blinded
By the fact that I want to take you out for the ride
When I find you
Wanna protect you
You got your own back
You got Erick - I know that
But you don't ever show that
Strong as a buck
But weakest in the league of hearts in the world
Can't leak our hearts when we're hurt
But hard as rock when attacked
'Tryna get my school to recognize a new tradition
The combination of talents
The triple threats
The new editions
You always knew I was ambitious
Well this is me tryna fulfill a vision
Close up the distance
Feels like you hate my persistence
I know you fear it
Been on the look for studios to fire up some tracks
But who in hell but me can keep it crisp Cook?
[Break 2]
I always say that you the greatest
I still don't feel you think its true
But 'til we meet again
You'll have The Tale I finally learned surrounds you too
[Chorus]
It's alright
It's all fine
It's alright
It's okay
Alright?
All fine
Alright?
And you don't even gotta tell me alright?
It's okay
Just go on
You'll be fine
Alright?
And you don't even gotta tell me alright?
I feel you
[Bridge] (2x)
'Cuz I just wanna hopefully
Talk to you mostly
I just wanna hold you
Closely
I feel you
[Outro]
And even though you're not here
I can still hear you...
I can still feel you...

You look at me and you see what? Young, black, funny, successful? What do I have left? Broken relationships with family. Broken relationships with friends. A few years ago I had a conversation with my best friend's sister. She saw potential in me before I even saw potential in myself. She said, 'When this thing blows up, you know you can never go back to being normal again right?' I looked at her and I said, 'I don't care. I want it all.' And I'm getting it...
