CHORUS
I'm okay
I'm not going to strive for the things in this life
Coz it really ain't nothing but hype
I'm okay
With living by the promises of God for me
No matter what the world believes
VERSE 1
I'm okay with who I am, You may not understand
The picture's not perfect, it's Still a work in progress
These Scars and wounds are still part this man
The painter's not finisheD, his work is so relentless
I'm content with my lot in life, no looking back like lot's wife
Enjoying the moments of time with the wife he will provide
They say keep looking up, that's the secret of life
"THE LORDS GOT ME WHERE I AM FOR A TIME AND A REASON
AND WHEN I FEEL LONELY, I KNOW HE'LL GIVE ME THE
STRENGTH WHEN I PRAY"
Take pleasure in life and yes its so sweet
Oh yes but it's just a taste of his kingdom
Take heart when you go through all those hard times
He'll give you all the strength all the comfort and the wisdom
CHORUS
I'm okay
I'm not going to strive for the things in this life
Coz it really ain't nothing but hype
I'm okay
With living by the promises of God for me
No matter what the world believes
VERSE 2
I know we want to leave a mark on this earth
Like the impact of an asteroid or thoughts from Freud
We search for significance and mainstream acceptance
We find it but there's still a hole from the asteroid
It's deeper than eternity, realer than you'll ever see
Search your heart and then you'll see, all we have is vanity
Front covers and these chart toppers - never fill the hole
We're searching for something that brings healing to the soul
And when you find it, you'll surely understand it
You don't have to be famous, it's okay to be nameless
I know it sounds crazy Let's chill while I explain this
The life you have to live is more than acquiring things
To be known is to be loved and To be loved is to be known
And when you're fully known and fully loved You'll feel so content
It comes from one person, one place n' one event
The love that he showed was so significant
CHORUS
I'm okay
I'm not going to strive for the things in this life
Coz it really ain't nothing but hype
I'm okay
With living by the promises of God for me
No matter what the world believes
VERSE 3 - Mista Taylor
Somebody said get all you can
But they don't realise life is a flash in a pan
Put all their stock in the imagination of man
And end up shipwrecked because they have the wrong pan
I think it's that sand they trying to build on
It keeps shifting coz they ain't no solid foundation they standing on
They're really bankrupt
The lord see them bu*t naked all they way down to the marrow
Of the essence of the flesh erupts
It's a b**by trap with the same old tactics
You ask who be that with the same old antics
It be that one that fell from heaven
Trying to get us all caught up
So we can't experience God's love
I'm okay tho. I learned to live in simplicity in this life so
When you stick the cheese in front of my nostrils
I see the hammer before it drops, So I'ma stay low
Low low

“To be loved but not known is comforting but superficial. To be known and not loved is our greatest fear. But to be fully known and truly loved is, well, a lot like being loved by God. It is what we need more than anything. It liberates us from pretense, humbles us out of our self-righteousness, and fortifies us for any difficulty life can throw at us.”
