Everything Will Be OK
G-Eazy Lyrics

Even if I don't stay
Even if I leave, things will be fine.

Everything will be okay
Everything will be fine.

Contemplating just who I could've turned out to be
Thinking about the kind of person I could have been.

If I'd stayed and weren't heard, what would amount to me?
If I had stayed and not been heard, what would I have amounted to?

If I had looked and ain't found, would I have founded me?
If I had searched and not found, would I have found myself?

I mean inside, would they loved me, never looked down on me?
I mean, would they have loved me inside and never looked down on me?

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

Well then you would have stayed
Then you would have stayed.

You could have made a perfect pair that people wouldn't trade'
You could have made a perfect couple that people wouldn't trade.

What's a promise worth when someone breaks it?

I bet he finally gets a shot and then he wastes it
I bet he finally gets a chance and then wastes it.

I bet he don't come back for us when he makes it
I bet he won't come back for us when he succeeds.

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

'Cause by then there's someone new you've been replaced with
Because by then there is someone else who has replaced you.

Old friends I grew up with, the girl I fell in love with
Old friends I grew up with, the girl I fell in love with.

Love or hate me depending on how you judge it
Love or hate me depending on how you perceive me.

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

If you don't step through no mud well then it won't last
If you don't go through tough times, it won't last.

The years pass it's crazy how they go fast
It's crazy how fast the years go by.

Ask myself questions that you have but you won't ask
I ask myself questions that you have but won't ask.

Like, 'you don't even come home enough
Like, 'You don't come home often enough.

But if it gets you, then you're weak
But if it gets to you, then you're weak.

'Cause we were here and it ain't broken us
Because we were here and it hasn't broken us.

Still as close and stayed by her side when no one was

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

The worst, I know that you stayed strong.

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

But you made me just as proud as you made Mom
