I'm Not the Greatest (I'm the Okayest)
I'm not the greatest
I'm the okayest
But in fairness
I'm a sound head
I'm not the greatest
I'm the okayest
Yeah but in fairness
Sure I'm a sound head
Wake up in the morning and I give myself a hug
Because I'm worthy of love, need it from the toe to my top
And the only person that don't seem to give it to me is me
I'm placing faith in building up some of this feminine energy
Sick of all the manly, making moves to understand me
Not the greatest but I face it and embrace it, making space for it
If cleanliness to godliness then pass me the mop
Clean out me mind with soap and water
And stop wreckin' me own head so much
I'm not the greatest
I'm the okayest
But in fairness
I'm a sound head
Yeah I'm not the greatest
Yeah-yeah-yeah I'm the okayest
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah but in fairness
Yeah-yeah I'm a sound head
My pronouns are he him, ho-hum to you if you don't like it
If there's a chance to be kind I'm not going to question I'll just subscribe to it
I'm 36 years old now, gettin' long in the tooth
And I make involuntary moaning noises when I rise from my seat
But I'm learning from the youngers while respecting the elders
And I'm acknowledging all the privilege that's been tainting my mindset
White, cis, hetero male, tend to be complacent
Want to learn so much so bad sometimes it's hard to stay patient
Shout out to everyone out there tryin' to do their best
You know, just tryin' to do the right thing
It's not always easy to do the right thing
But you can always try and do the right thing
It might not be the best thing
It might not be the greatest thing
It might even have a bit of bad in it
There might be some good in it
But hopefully there's mostly good in it
All you can do is try your best, see what happens
Let's just try and do our best
And in the meantime, give me a hug
I want to give all of you a hug
Give me a hug right now
Give me a hug right now
I know I sound like a creep
But it's consensual, let's make it consensual
I want a hug
Yeah
Oh my god
Oh, yeah
I'm the okayest
But in fairness
I'm a sound head
I'm not the greatest
I'm the okayest
Yeah but in fairness
Sure I'm a sound head
Wake up in the morning and I give myself a hug
Because I'm worthy of love, need it from the toe to my top
And the only person that don't seem to give it to me is me
I'm placing faith in building up some of this feminine energy
Sick of all the manly, making moves to understand me
Not the greatest but I face it and embrace it, making space for it
If cleanliness to godliness then pass me the mop
Clean out me mind with soap and water
And stop wreckin' me own head so much
I'm not the greatest
I'm the okayest
But in fairness
I'm a sound head
Yeah I'm not the greatest
Yeah-yeah-yeah I'm the okayest
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah but in fairness
