Everything Will Be Ok
G‐Eazy feat. Kehlani Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

Even if I don't stay
Everything will be okay
Everything will be okay
Everything will be okay
(Okay, okay)

Contemplating 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've 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 when 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
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's waiting with all of our 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 happening
"Are we going to grandma's? 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 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
Or for 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
Becoming 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, she wasn't breathing
Screamed, "Melissa wake up" couldn't fathom that she was leaving
Mom and bro was running 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 blessing

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)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Everything Will Be OK" by G-Eazy featuring Kehlani explore themes of personal growth, self-discovery, and the complexities of family relationships.


In the first verse, G-Eazy reflects on the choices and sacrifices he's made in pursuit of his artistic career. He contemplates the potential outcomes if he had chosen a different path and stayed in his hometown. Despite facing criticism and judgment from those who feel he abandoned them, G-Eazy acknowledges that he had to chase his dreams and live a life that wasn't "basic." The lyrics illustrate G-Eazy's awareness that success may come at the expense of certain relationships, but he remains determined to follow his chosen path.


The second verse delves into G-Eazy's family dynamics and personal struggles. He recounts moments of emotional hardship, such as his absence during his loved ones' times of need. G-Eazy addresses his sibling, expressing love and acknowledging his brother's strength in shouldering responsibilities when their family faced financial difficulties and his mother fell ill. Despite their differences and occasional anger, G-Eazy reaffirms his brother's importance in his life and his pride in their bond.


The third verse reveals a deeply personal story from G-Eazy's childhood, involving his parents' separation and his mother's transgender journey. G-Eazy recalls the confusion and emotional turmoil he experienced during this period, highlighting his struggles to understand his mother's transition. He eventually comes to accept and support her, emphasizing the importance of her happiness and well-being. The lyrics also touch upon his mother's battles with mental health, culminating in a devastating moment where G-Eazy finds her lifeless. This tragic event forces G-Eazy to confront the fragility of life and the impact he had on his mother during her time on Earth.


Throughout the song, the repeated phrase "Everything will be okay" serves as a reassurance and affirmation to himself and those closest to him. It reflects G-Eazy's resilience in the face of challenges, his belief in finding happiness and acceptance, and his attempt to console those who may doubt or question his choices. Ultimately, the lyrics convey a message of hope and healing, acknowledging the complexities of life but emphasizing the power of love and perseverance.
