Everything Will Be Ok
G-Eazy Ft. Kehlani Lyrics

Even if I don't stay
Even if I choose to leave or go away

Everything will be okay
Everything will work out fine

Everything will be okay
Everything will turn out fine

Everything will be okay
Everything will be alright

Okay, okay
Affirming the previous statement

Contemplating just who I could've turned out to be
Reflecting on the potential outcomes of my life if things were different

If I'd stayed and weren’t heard, what would amount to me?
If I had remained in the same place and my voice wasn't listened to, what would my identity be?

If I had looked and ain't found, would I have founded me?
If I had searched but didn't discover myself, would I have established my true self?

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

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

Well then you would have stayed
Then you would have remained by her side

You could have made a perfect pair that people wouldn't trade'
You could have formed an ideal couple that nobody would exchange

Trade for nothing, I did though, I had to chase it
I disregarded their opinion, I pursued my dreams

Face it, I wasn’t born to live a life basic
Accept it, I was destined for a life beyond the ordinary

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

What's a promise anyway when someone breaks it?
Does a promise have any value when it is broken by someone?

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

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

And if he do it be too late, you gotta face it
And 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, there will be someone new who has taken your place

Old friends I grew up with, the girl I fell in love with
The friends I knew since childhood, the girl I had romantic feelings for

Love or hate me depending on how you judge it
Your perception of me determines 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 follow my own journey

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

The years pass it's crazy how they go fast
Time flies by, it's incredible how quickly it goes

Ask myself questions that you have but you won't ask
I question myself about things you're curious about but don't inquire

Like, 'you don’t even come home enough
Such as, 'you don't visit home frequently

Where were you when she was in the hospital, huh?
Where were you when she was hospitalized, 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 it affects you, then you're emotionally vulnerable

'Cause we were here and it ain't broken us
Because we were here and it hasn't shattered our relationship

Still as close and stayed by her side when no one was
We're still as close and I remained with her when nobody else was there

Like when she lost her job and everything, how broke we was
Like 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 required someone to take care of her

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

And when he was scared of
And when I was afraid of

The worst, I know that you stayed strong
During the most difficult times, I know that you remained resilient

Don’t say this enough
I don't express this sentiment often

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

Yeah, you got some anger but I don’t blame you at all
Yes, you have anger issues, but I don't hold it against you

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

In that first grade class they came and got me
In that first grade class, they came to fetch 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 what she could fit and take with her

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

Way too young to comprehend what was happening
Far too young to fully understand what was taking place

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

Little did I know that we were leaving him by himself
Little did I know that we were abandoning him alone

And ten years would pass before Mom sees anybody else
And it would take ten years before Mom enters into a new relationship

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 gender

Biased and confused they try to explain but nobody can
Biased and confused, they attempt to explain but nobody can fully clarify

Wanted what I thought was normal, she had another plan
I desired what I considered normal, but she had a different vision

Such is life, even if it took time for me to accept it
That's how life is, even if it took me a while to acknowledge it

No longer Dad now, but a woman with whom she slept with
He is no longer Dad, but a woman with whom she had a relationship

Or for the years when a secret was how she kept it
Or for the years when she kept it 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 can see that you have found happiness

And that's what's most important
And that's what matters the most

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

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

If she loves you, then that's all anybody needs maybe now
If she loves you, then that's all that matters, perhaps now you understand

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 dreadful curse

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

Becoming more reclusive and the pills should have been alerts
Becoming more isolated, and the medication should have acted as warnings

So the worse it got, I became more and more afraid
As the situation worsened, my fear grew stronger

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

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

Screamed, 'Melissa wake up' couldn't fathom that she was leaving
I shouted, '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 rushed downstairs, I yelled, 'somebody help'

Try pumping her chest, CPR, but it didn’t help
We attempted CPR, pumping her chest, but it didn't provide any assistance

Toughest pill to swallow, but we lost, that’s forced reflection
The most difficult truth to accept, but we lost her, which requires us to reflect

While in her life you made her happy, thank you for the blessing
Although she is no longer here, you brought happiness into her life, thank you for that blessing
