OK
Izzie Gibbs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
"Ok, ok, ok"
So i can put a stack in my mother′s hands
"Ok, ok, ok"
"Ok, ok, ok"
If I can do it then my brothers can
Realise I′m the fucking man
Izz, let's get some tunes and watch our money grow
My momma thinks ain't coming home
I do this shit so my brothers wont
I′m on the block, and I love the road
Trust where I′m from, the summers cold
The block's hot it′s got me feeling Phillipino
Talk trap, but baby we're bringing kilos
The fuck boys, they? we know
I′m still winning with my people
Torch jabs ayyy, you don't clap iron
Damn liars. You ain′t bad, you rap violent
In "Ok" by Izzie Gibbs, the rapper seems to be talking about his past struggles of being broke and going through hardships. The first line, "I was in the cold for the rubber bands" could mean that he had to work hard and endure harsh conditions just to earn enough money to provide for himself and his family. The repetition of "ok, ok, ok" in each line of the chorus almost sounds like a mantra, signifying the affirmation of his determination to make it out of his struggles. In the second verse, he talks about his love for his block and the road, which could represent his connection to his roots and where he came from.
Another noticeable theme that arises throughout the song is brotherhood. He talks about how he wants to succeed not just for himself, but for his brothers too. He wants to help his mom and make sure that his family is taken care of. He mentions how he and his friend Torch are together in their journey to make money and watch their money grow. In the lines "The fuck boys, they? we know. I′m still winning with my people", Gibbs could be referring to people that try to bring him down and hate on his success, but he's still going to be successful and come out on top with the support of his friends.
Overall, "Ok" is a story of rising above poverty and making something of oneself despite the hardships. Gibbs sounds determined and confident in his abilities, and the repetition of the affirming "ok, ok, ok" only solidifies that mentality.

Let's create music and generate income together, my mother thinks I'll never return but I do this so my siblings are not placed in similar circumstances. I'm in the streets but treasure that environment, and the location I'm from is challenging during summer months.
The block's hot it′s got me feeling Phillipino
Talk trap, but baby we're bringing kilos
The fuck boys, they? we know
I′m still winning with my people
The neighborhood is unsafe, making me hyper-aware of my surroundings. We discuss the drug trade, but truly we're making huge strides economically. False friends are aware of us and our reputation, but we remain victorious with our true associates.
Torch jabs ayyy, you don't clap iron
Damn liars. You ain′t bad, you rap violent
I mock opponents, who don't actually carry weapons, that portray themselves as tough. They are deceitful, as they don't actually live the lifestyles they rap about.
