Jacob Nash - It'll Be Okay lyrics

[verse 1] My whole family would probably look at me as if I were crazy If I were to tell them that I maybe feel like I should try rapping So I haven't even told either of my parents about How I'm rapping, because they might even pa** out if they found out I'll probably never actually tell everybody about me rapping Unless I sign to a label or put out an album or something Because look at me; I'm just a white kid from North Dakota This is a farming community. Maybe I should move to Minnesota I'd like to go to Minneapolis, but I couldn't justify moving yet Unless I'm going back to college or finding a deal I might get My situation seems hopeless, because I don't know anything about this I don't know the first thing about how to become a professional recording artist Am I supposed to keep working on it and taking time to practice? Or do I start showing my music to labels and trying to get noticed? I just don't know how I'm supposed to pursue this. I need some advice I've got to find some way to get through with this and move on with my life This song isn't about my life though. This song is about hope You can never give up hope even if you're at the end of your rope And I'm at the end of mine right now. I've got to figure out how To move forward from this situation that I'm stuck in right now When you're at your lowest and your life is at its hardest; When everything seems hopeless is when you need to be strongest You need to do your best not to notice any of your problems Try shifting your focus to each of your blessings [hook] No matter how hopeless it may seem today Just keep doing your best and it'll be okay Don't listen to the negativity that anybody may say God can get you through anything, so don't be afraid to pray [verse 2] To all of you who don't want to have to live another day Because you're sick of life and all of the problems that won't go away Maybe you've been angry for so long that you no longer feel anything It must be like some kind of self defense mechanism or something You felt so bad for so long that you quit feeling anything at all And now you're cutting your wrists and banging your head into the wall You'd rather feel pain than nothing. It reminds you that you're living So you've resorted to practicing self mutilation You're bleeding and it's hurting, but at the same time it feels good They'd think you're a freak, but you're just misunderstood The only reason you're cutting is because you need an escape It seems like it's either that or unleashing a heart full of hate I guess there is one other option, but that one is turning to d** What you really need is a hug. You've forgotten what it's like to be loved You'd ask someone for a hug, but you'd feel like less of a man But it isn't manly to cut and you don't have any other plan To heal yourself from your pain. You might cry yourself to sleep tonight You've got to keep your head up and muster up your might Your life might be messed up, but you can never give up Life doesn't get better on its own. You've got to make your own luck You can't k** yourself or let yourself doing anything drastic Tomorrow can't get any worse than today, so don't worry or panic Just look forward to the future. Relax, be patient And do whatever it'll takes for you to improve your situation [hook] [verse 3] This song goes out to everybody who's unemployed or homeless This goes out to every drug addict and victim of divorce This goes out to everybody who's ever been abused by a rapist This goes out to everybody diagnosed with a terminal illness It's only natural for us to have all kinds of questions about this Like why doesn't God intervene and do something about this? Well, there are so many questions and I don't have many answers But I do know that we should be thankful. Things could always be worse People are always quick to ask why bad things happen to good people But what about all the good things that happen to bad people? Good things happen to everybody too and if you haven't been thankful Then what right do you have to be upset when your life isn't well? According to the Bible, we're all deserving of hell So even though we may be miserable, we should see the cup as half full So I'm going to take the time to count every blessing of mine I'm going to keep a positive attitude, even when I'm not feeling fine It's so easy for everybody to complain about everything and whine But that kind of an attitude isn't a good state of mind Instead of focusing on what's bad, focus on how you can improve it It's pathetic to just throw a fit, instead of trying to fix it It's only natural to be upset, but you need to push on and live Make the most out of whatever situation you're in And even if you're hopeless and nobody else cares about you Just know that even if that is true, God does care and he loves you too [hook]
