Everything Will Be Ok
G-Eazy; Kehlani Lyrics

Even if I don't stay
Regardless of whether or not I stay

Everything will be okay
Everything will turn out fine

Everything will be okay
Everything will be alright

Everything will be okay
Everything will be alright

(Okay, okay)
(Alright, alright)

Contemplating just who I could've turned out to be
Reflecting on the person I could have become

If I'd stayed and weren't heard, what would amount to me?
If I had stayed and my voice wasn't heard, what would define my existence?

If I had looked and ain't found, would I have founded me?
If I had searched but couldn't find, would I have discovered my true self?

I mean inside, would they loved me, never looked down on me?
Would they have loved me genuinely, without judgment?

They say, 'You know if you loved her
People say, 'If you truly loved her'

Well then you would have stayed
Then you would have remained

You could have made a perfect pair that people wouldn't trade'
You could have formed an ideal couple that others wouldn't exchange for anything

Trade for nothing, I did though, I had to chase it
But I chose to trade it for nothing, I had to pursue my dreams

Face it, I wasn't born to live a life basic
Accept it, I wasn't meant to live an ordinary life

They say, 'you turned your back on us just to go and be an artist
They accuse me of betraying them to pursue a career as an artist

What's a promise anyway when someone breaks it?
What value does a promise hold when someone breaks it?

I bet he finally gets a shot and then he wastes it
I bet he finally gets an opportunity and then squanders it

I bet he don't come back for us when he makes it
I bet he won't return for us when he achieves success

And if he do it be too late, you gotta face it
And even if he does, it will be too late, you have to accept it

'Cause by then there's someone new you've been replaced with
Because by then, someone new has taken your place

Old friends I grew up with, the girl I fell in love with
The friends I've known for a long time, the girl I once loved

Love or hate me depending on how you judge it
Evaluate me and form your opinion based on whether you love or hate me

I had to wander, I had to go tread my own path
I had to explore, I had to forge my own way

If you don't step through no mud well then it won't last
If you don't face challenges and difficulties, it won't endure

The years pass it's crazy how they go fast
Time flies, it's astonishing how quickly it passes

Ask myself questions that you have but you won't ask
I ask myself the questions that you have but are afraid to ask

Like, 'you don't even come home enough
For example, 'You don't even visit home frequently

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

It was only us,' and that's deep and yeah I know it cuts
It was just the two of us,' and that's profound and yes, I know it hurts

But if it gets you, then you're weak
But if that affects you deeply, then you are emotionally vulnerable

'Cause we were here and it ain't broken us
Because we were here and our bond remains strong

Still as close and stayed by her side when no one was
We are still close and I remained by her side when no one else was there

Like when she lost her job and everything, how broke we was
For example, when she lost her job and we were financially struggling

When she was sick and she needed some taking care of
When she was ill and needed someone to take care of her

A fifteen year old shouldered the weight
I, a fifteen-year-old, bore the burden

And when he was scared of the worst, I know that you stayed strong
And when I was scared of the worst, I know that you remained resilient

Don't say this enough
I don't say this often

But you made me just as proud as you made Mom
But you made me equally as proud as you made Mom

Yeah, you got some anger but I don't blame you at all
Yes, you have some anger, but I don't hold it against you in any way

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

In that first grade class they came and got me
In my first-grade class, they came and took me

'Your mom's outside, say goodbye now to everybody'
'Your mom is waiting outside, say goodbye to everyone now'

U-Haul's waiting with all of our things
A U-Haul truck is waiting with all of our belongings

At least what she could pack
At least the things she was able to pack

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

Way too young to comprehend what was happening
Far too young to understand what was occurring

'Are we going to grandma's? When are we coming back again?'
'Are we going to grandma's? When will we return?'

Little did I know that we were leaving him by himself
Little did I know that we were abandoning him on his own

And ten years would pass before Mom sees anybody else
And ten years would elapse before Mom enters into a relationship with someone else

Just us, in middle school I ain't understand
Just the two of us, in middle school I didn't comprehend

Who Melissa was and why she wasn't another man
Who Melissa was and why she wasn't a different man

Biased and confused they try to explain but nobody can
Biased and confused, they try to explain but nobody can

Wanted what I thought was normal, she had another plan
I desired what I believed to be conventional, but she had a different plan

Such is life, even if it took time for me to accept it
That's life, even though it took time for me to embrace it

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

Or for the years when a secret was how she kept it
Or for the years when she kept it as a secret

I ain't get it, admittedly I was skeptic
I didn't understand it, I must admit I was doubtful

I came around, happiness I see's what you may have found
I eventually accepted it, and I see the happiness you may have discovered

And that's what's most important
And that's the most crucial thing

I don't wanna see you breaking down
I don't want to see you falling apart

I wanna see you smile, I don't wanna see you make a frown
I want to see you smile, I don't want to see you be sad

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

By '05 things had gotten worse
By 2005, things had deteriorated

Moved to the basement, deep depressions a rotten curse
We moved to the basement, deep depression became a destructive curse

Hiding in a dark space, her mind and her body hurts
Concealed in a dark place, her mind and body were in pain

Becoming more reclusive and the pills should have been alerts
Becoming more withdrawn, and the pills should have served as warning signs

So the worse it got, I became more and more afraid
As it worsened, my fear increased

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

I shook her she was blue, her skin was cold, she wasn't breathing
I shook her, she was pale, her skin was cold, she wasn't breathing

Screamed, 'Melissa wake up' couldn't fathom that she was leaving
I screamed, 'Melissa, wake up' unable to comprehend that she was passing away

Mom and bro was running down, I screamed 'somebody help'
Mom and my brother came running downstairs, and I screamed 'somebody help'

Try pumping her chest, CPR, but it didn't help
Tried performing CPR, chest compressions, but it didn't help

Toughest pill to swallow, but we lost, that's forced reflection
The most difficult truth to accept, but we lost, and it requires deep introspection

While in her life you made her happy, thank you for the blessing
During her life, you brought her happiness, thank you for being a blessing

Even if I don't stay (even if I don't stay)
Regardless of whether or not I stay

Everything will be okay
Everything will turn out fine

Everything will be okay
Everything will be alright

(I promise it'll be okay)
(I promise everything will be alright)

Everything will be okay
Everything will be alright

(Okay, okay)
(Alright, alright)
