OKAY
SHOW-GO Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Alone
But it's okay
Gotta learn independence
Rely on nobody
Can't lie to my face
If they don't have the opportunity
Can't let no one know where I lay
Preachin no violence
Expandin my mind but don't make a mistake
Cause the four five spray if it got too
Now ya mama she wishin it's not you
Took my kindness for weakness it's somethin I'm used to
Shouldn't have to prove that you a real gangsta
Real niggas notice it's unspoken
Had to learn to forgive old anger
Heart cold threw my heart to the sun
Thaw it out I thought you the one
Reminiscing bout days that are gone
I seen yo red flags I ignored em
Cause you was so bad an yo eyes I adored em
I loved you so deep never leave I assured you
But I was so blinded you knew that I wouldn't hurt you
So you took advantage
Played wit my mind had me thinking I'm crazy
All truths come to light immature shit outdated
Just tell me the real we can work on it baby
Addicted to you like some drugs you my favorite
My feelings on shuffle like a rod wave playlist
Bipolar one day thinkin I saved it
Next day you trippin an sayin I ain't shit
Damn
Keep this bitch going TJ
Listen
Mind racing
Heart aching
Thinking what I'm gon do to save this
What I'm gon do
Alone
But it's okay
Gotta learn independence
Rely on nobody
Can't lie to my face
If they don't have the opportunity
Can't let no one know where I lay
Preachin no violence
Expandin my mind but don't make a mistake
Cause the four five spray if it got too
Now ya mama she wishin it's not you
Took my kindness for weakness it's somethin I'm used to
Shouldn't have to prove that you a real gangsta
Real niggas notice it's unspoken
Had to learn to forgive old anger
Take me outta my character
Hot headed nigga wit switches on blicks
I promise you don't want that side of me
I been tryna change even took down some disses
Young nigga had a lot of issues
Tryna grown a soft spot grab me a tissue
Mama always ask me why the fuck I keep a gun on me I don't wanna have to miss you
Ridin strategic
Keep yo head on a swivel ski mask in the whip no speedin
So the the police don't flick me cause I got a strap wit no cpl but I need this
Rather be judged by twelve than carried by six for a dumb ass reason
All ask is you pray for me while on this road to them riches
Face people who change like the seasons
Alone
But it's okay
Gotta learn independence
Rely on nobody
Can't lie to my face
If they don't have the opportunity
Can't let no one know where I lay
I'm preachin no violence
Expandin my mind but don't make a mistake
Cause the four five spray if it got too
Now ya mama she wishin it's not you
Took my kindness for weakness it's somethin I'm used to
Shouldn't have to prove that you a real gangsta




Real niggas notice it's unspoken
Had to learn to forgive old anger
