Byron Henderson - It's Ok lyrics

[Part 1: Produced by Uncle Dez] [Intro: Byron] 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 [Hook 1: Byron] 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) [Bridge: Byron] 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 [Verse: Byron] 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 [Pre-Hook: Byron] 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 [Hook 2: Byron] 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) [Bridge: Byron] [Verse: Byron] 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 k** 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… [Pre-Hook: Byron] 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 [Hook 2: Byron] [Bridge: Byron] [Outro: Byron] 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… [Part 2: Produced By Demitrean] [Verse: Byron] 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 its okay Tell them its 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 its 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 its 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}
