Brother Ali - Well Okay lyrics

[Verse 1] Drowning in some kind of rut, grinding, trying to find a buck Time was up, was out of luck, I was kinda stuck Eyes wide swollen shut, it's when you're lucky enough To duck a s**er punch, slip up and catch a upper cut Crack heads, junkies, and drunks, mugger first Glad I'm up, come to run 'em up 'till the sun come up Kids don't run or jump, Hopscotch Double Dutch Corners of they mouth down, frowning, here come the bust My head is always up, I was told as such Cry forever and a day it won't be long enough Had to get my timing up, refine, shine it up Gotta find a diamond in the rough, mine's I can strut A rails solid up, I can bust, destruct Better get it right, 'fore the pipes decide to bust But the sun keep shining, the Earth keep turning And the beats keep banging away, so okay Married as a seventeen year old Nobody had the guts to tell me "you ain't even grown" She ain't love me, she just didn't want to be alone But I ain't love her, I just love feeling needed so I guess we're even, yo, turn out she was silly, though I'm talking messed up in the head like I ain't seen before Argued every single day, she was screaming flow Things around the crib with us that aren't leaving, ho We had a kid, he wasn't even three months old She would leave him home, alone, only God know how long she'd be gone Didn't know where we would go, you're coming with daddy now Happy now, leaving though we sleep on the floor Here she go, blew her top, 'round my baby boy watch She socked my in the eye, in the mosque But the sun keep shining, the birds keep chirping And the beats keep banging away, so okay
