G-Eazy - Everything Will Be Ok

Even if I don't stay

Everything will be okay

Everything will be okayEverything will be okay (Okay, okay)

Contemplatin' just who I could've turned out to be

If I'd stayed and weren't heard

What would amount to me?

If I had looked and ain't found

Would I have founded me?

I mean inside, would they loved me

Never looked down on me?

They say, you know if you loved her

Well then you would have stayed

You could have made a perfect pair

That people wouldn't trade

Trade for nothing, I did though, I had to chase it

Face it, I wasn't born to live a life basic

They say, you turned your back on us

Just to go and be an artist

What's a promise anyway when someone breaks it?

I bet he finally gets a shot and then he wastes it

I bet he don't come back for us when he makes it

And if he do it be too late, you gotta face it

'Cause by then there's someone new you been replaced with

Old friends I grew up with, the girl I fell in love with

Love or hate me depending on how you judge it

Even if I don't stay (Even if I don't stay)

Everything will be okay

Everything will be okay

(I promise it'll be okay)

Everything will be okay

(Okay, okay)

I had to wander, I had to go tread my own path

If you don't step through no mud well then it won't last

The years pass it's crazy how they go fast

Ask myself questions that you have but you won't ask

Like, you don't even come home enough

Where were you when she was in the hospital, huh?

It was only us, and that's deep, and yeah, I know it cuts

But if it gets you, then you're weak

'Cause we were here and it ain't broken us

Still as close and stayed by her side when no one was

Like when she lost her job and everything, how broke we was

When she was sick and she needed some taking care of

A fifteen year old shouldered the weight

And what he was scared of

The worst, I know that you stayed strong

Don't say this enough

But you made me just as proud as you made Mom

Yeah, you got some anger but I don't blame you at all

I know I don't call, but you're my brother, I love you

Even if I don't stay (Even if I don't stay)

Everything will be okay (It'll be, it'll be okay)

Everything will be okay

(I promise it'll be okay)

Everything will be okay

(Okay, okay)

In that first grade class they came and got me

Your mom's outside, say goodbye now to everybody

U-Haul was waiting with all of her things

At least what she could pack

In the time my dad's at work and before he came back

Way too young to comprehend what was happenin'

Are we going to grandma's?

When are we comin' back again?

Little did I know that we were leaving him by himself

And 10 years would pass before Mom sees anybody else

Just us, in middle school I ain't understand

Who Melissa was and why she wasn't another man

Biased and confused they try to explain but nobody can

Wanted what I thought was normal, she had another plan

Such is life, even if it took time for me to accept it

No longer Dad now, but a woman with whom she slept with

Over the years when a secret was how she kept it

I ain't get it, admittedly I was skeptic

I came around, happiness I see's what you may have found

And that's what's most important

I don't wanna see you breaking down

I wanna see you smile, I don't wanna see you make a frown

If she loves you, then that's all anybody needs maybe now

By '05 things had gotten worse

Moved to the basement, deep depressions a rotten curse

Hiding in a dark space, her mind and her body hurts

Becomin; more reclusive and the pills should have been alerts

So the worse it got, I became more and more afraid

Until one night, I went into that room, on the floor she laid

I shook, she was blue, her skin was cold and she wasn't breathin'

Screamed, Melissa wake up, couldn't fathom that she was leavin'

Mom and Bro was runnin' down, I screamed, somebody help

Try pumpin' her chest, CPR, but it didn't help

Toughest pill to swallow, but we lost, that's forced reflection

While in her life you made her happy, thank you for the blessin'

Even if I don't stay (Even if I don't stay)

Everything will be okay

(It'll be, it'll be okay)

Everything will be okay

(I promise it'll be okay)

Everything will be okay

(Okay, okay)
