I'm Okay
J.R. & Ph 7 Lyrics

After all this time I
Despite the passage of time, I am still experiencing the same persistent pain.

Can't escape from my only pain
I cannot find relief from the sole source of my suffering.

Still can't escape from my brain
The root of my pain is within my own mind, and I cannot shake it.

Don't look at me babe
I do not want you to see the pain that I am carrying inside.

Cause you know all you're gonna see is pain
My agony is all-consuming and would be apparent in my expression.

Please stay away
I need to be alone in order to try to cope with my inner turmoil.

I've been down before, and I've been at the top
My life has had highs and lows, but my current pain is worse than anything I have experienced before.

But what I'm feeling right now, I just want it to stop
The current intensity of my emotional pain is overwhelming, and I do not know how to make it go away.

Every day, after night, I'm waking up feeling every bruise from the fight
I am living with the aftermath of a constant battle against my own mind, and it is taking a physical and emotional toll on me.

Ever wonder why, why one who saves lives would still want to die
It is perplexing that someone who appears to be living for others' wellbeing would still desire their own death.

Waiting for that day
I am holding out hope for eventual relief from my pain.

Waiting for the day that I feel okay
I am hoping for a future in which I can experience true happiness and contentment once again.

But I feel okay, I just hope you don't see my face.
Despite my pain, I am trying to present a composed facade to others, hoping they do not see through it.

I just wanna be that guy, made it my way, that's DIY
I want to be seen as someone who has carved out their own unique path to success, rather than following a prescribed formula.

Went from rap to rock, ballads, traps, and pseudo-pop
I have explored various genres of music in order to find my own sound and expression.

Like a soda pop, overflow with sweet Ciroc
When I create, I want it to be abundantly flavorful and enjoyable to partake in.

Win the game like Ooh-la-la, my Hakuna Matata
I want to succeed with ease and without worrying about the potential negative repercussions.

Money and the fame in a moonlit mosh
I am attracted to the idea of wealth and recognition, but also feel like an outsider in the process of attaining it.

Grammy for Grammy, that's who I got
I prize the recognition of my peers and audiences, as evidenced by my awards.

What's my name Oh-na-na-na, me Imma steal king Kanye's spot
I have lofty aspirations of reaching the level of fame and recognition that Kanye West possesses.

Caroselli, Jack, J-Doc, best song that's written bout a culture shock
I am proud of my songwriting abilities and feel that my work offers a unique perspective on contemporary culture.

Lot's of people left today, too many gone when it's not their day
I am mourning the loss of many loved ones and wonder why some are taken from us prematurely.

Every 30 seconds, someone left, help was too far away
The frequent and sudden nature of death is difficult to process, and the lack of available aid is troubling.

If you were thinking bout it but you didn't do it
If you were contemplating some difficult decision, but chose not to follow through with it...

What made you say no
...what internal or external factors led you to abstain from that course of action?

Was it a passion for a craft, friends and family that you have
Did you choose not to proceed with that decision out of a desire to pursue a particular hobby, or to be with loved ones?

Not tryna second guess it, just make sure every day, harness that
I am not judging your decision, but encouraging you to seize each day and commit to your passions and relationships.

After all this time, I'm okay
Despite my suffering, I am hanging on and doing my best to maintain a sense of okayness.

I just wanna die
However, lurking in the background is a deep desire to end my pain and escape this world.
