[Chorus: Kehlani]
~#**************#~

Everything will be okay

~#**************#~
Everything will be okay
~#**************#~
(Okay, okay)
~#**************#~
[Verse 1: G-Eazy]
~#**************#~
Contemplatin just who I coulda turned out to be
~#**************#~
If Ida stayed and weren’t heard, what would amount to me?
~#**************#~
If I had looked and ain’t found what I have found in me
~#**************#~
I mean inside, would they love 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 wouldnt 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, whats 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 itd be too late, you gotta face it
~#**************#~
‘Cause by then theres 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
~#**************#~
[Chorus: Kehlani]
~#**************#~
Even if I dont stay
~#**************#~
(Even if I dont stay)
~#**************#~
Everything will be okay
~#**************#~
Everything will be okay
~#**************#~
(I promise itll be okay)
~#**************#~
Everything will be okay
~#**************#~
(Okay, okay)
~#**************#~
[Verse 2: G-Eazy]
~#**************#~
I had to wander, I had to go tread my own path
~#**************#~
If you dont step through no mud, well then it wont last
~#**************#~
The years pass, its crazy how they go fast
~#**************#~
Ask myself questions you have, but that you wont 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 that 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
~#**************#~
I 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 dont call, but youre my brother
~#**************#~
I love ya
~#**************#~
[Chorus: Kehlani]
~#**************#~
Even if I dont stay
~#**************#~
(Even if I dont stay)
~#**************#~
Everything will be okay
~#**************#~
(It’ll be, itll be okay)
~#**************#~
Everything will be okay
~#**************#~
(I promise itll be okay)
~#**************#~
Everything will be okay
~#**************#~
(Okay, okay)
~#**************#~
[Verse 3: G-Eazy]
~#**************#~
Yeah, in that first grade class they came and got me
~#**************#~
“Your moms 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 dads at work and before he came back
~#**************#~
Way too young to comprehend what was happenin
~#**************#~
“Are we going to grandmas? When are we coming back again?”
~#**************#~
Little did I know that we were leaving him by himself
~#**************#~
And ten years would pass before Mom sees anybody else
~#**************#~
Just us, in middle school, I aint understand
~#**************#~
Who Melissa was and why she wasnt another man
~#**************#~
Biased and confused, they try 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 aint get it, admittedly I was skeptic
~#**************#~
I came around, happiness I sees what you may have found
~#**************#~
And thats whats most important, I don’t wanna see you breaking down
~#**************#~
I wanna see you smile, I dont wanna see you make a frown
~#**************#~
If she loves you, then thats all anybody needs maybe now
~#**************#~
By 05 things had gotten worse
~#**************#~
Moved to the basement, deep depressions a rotten curse
~#**************#~
Hidin 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 her, she was blue, her skin was cold and she wasnt breathin
~#**************#~
Screamed, “Melissa wake up,” couldnt fathom that she was leavin
~#**************#~
Mom and Bro was runnin down, I screamed “Somebody help”
~#**************#~
Try pumping 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
~#**************#~
[Chorus: Kehlani]
~#**************#~
Even if I dont stay
~#**************#~
(Even if I dont stay)
~#**************#~
Everything will be okay
~#**************#~
(It’ll be, itll be okay)
~#**************#~
Everything will be okay
~#**************#~
(I promise itll be okay)
~#**************#~
Everything will be okay
~#**************#~
(Okay, okay)
