We'll Be Okay

I done seen a lot I'm recounting the days
Can't 'member last time I actually felt safe
I've been stuck in the pit and I'm in my own way
I had to tell myself that we gon' be okay
Now if you can't make sense of it then make some change
See the sunshine right after it rains
Doesn't mean that it's gon' dry out the stains
I had to myself that we gon' be okay

Yo, yo, you can't sleep at night when you hearing gunshots
Bloodshot eyes thinking 'bout if all the fun stop
A stray bullet claimed another victim, man he was innocent
Killed by their inflictions
What it isn't just some coincidence
They were fighting for weeks on end, right out of my residence
To the point he had to speak his piece man he was hesitant
All these words of hate are
Filling their brain with all this pestilance
Barely know they niggas why they slandered his name?
They whip the straps all out
Damn! No change in the game
He had to keep it on lock there wasn't no phasing his face
He thought about all the times he lost chasing the fame
Just to end up shot praying when they spray
Man fuck that!
C'mon you know we all brothers (we all brothers and sisters)
Growing up broke so we felt the struggle
What would your mother say? (what would she say?)
And as they thought about it
Had to grab the Glock hoping it'll be okay, huh

I done seen a lot I'm recounting the days
Can't 'member last time I actually felt safe
I've been stuck in the pit and I'm in my own way
I had to tell myself that we gon' be okay
Now if you can't make sense of it then make some change
See the sunshine right after it rains
Doesn't mean that it's gon' dry out the stains
I had to myself that we gon' be okay

Well I've had to come to terms with the present that we living in
Getting kicked out of households and losing close relationships
Looking for stability, I'm willing to go the distance
The world's ending, so priorities have shifted
The planet's fucked, and politicians keep the panic up
Feeling close to fall out, feeling like the world could erupt
So, we transition to pandemic
Hard not to give up and not to feel indifferent
It's hard enough to even go about living
When they scapegoat religion just to normalize the system
Modern day fascists led to culture clashes
1% classes left the problem for the masses
Tyrant in the office led to riots in the street
Violence all they offer so the peace is hard to keep
Resolution hard to reach
When it ends yo it's hard to say
But deep down it'll be okay

We'll be okay, we'll be okay, we'll be ok
We'll be okay, we'll be okay, we'll be ok
We'll be okay, we'll be okay, we'll be ok
We'll be okay, we'll be okay, we'll be ok
