Be Ok

Before we see the sun, we gotta see the rain

And they say when we stride up they come better than we are

Take a walk with me

Everything around us becomes better too

Keep smiling

Just gotta keep going

We all make it to our destination one day

One day

Everything will be ok

We'll make it through the day

We gon' be ok-ay-ay-ay-ay

We gonna be ok

Get on your knees and pray and you gon' be ok-ay-ay-ay-ay

Everything will be ok

We'll make it through the day

We gon' be ok-ay-ay-ay-ay

We gonna be ok

Get on your knees and pray and you gon' be ok-ay-ay-ay-ay

Uh, we'll be ok if we just stick together

I left you in the past and it hurt me looking at our pics together

I sent a letter telling you to keep your head up

Why wasn't I brave enough to face you head up

I knew way back when you and sister was playing dress up

That's probably why I'm wishing you the best luck

Remember you told me about your problems that one night in the summer

Said you at war with your daddy, you at odds with your momma

Ain't had no family support when you was going to college

So you got on drugs, now that'll turn a good girl violent, uh

Said you wanna be away, started pushing me away

Made our love relocate

Yeah, I heard you got a son now, I hope he take the right road

A lot of us get gunned down

I hope I run into him so I can give him the run down

And tell him what I know now we all lost souls in this ghost town

But everything will be ok

Everything will be ok

We'll make it through the day

We gon' be ok-ay-ay-ay-ay (We'll be ok if we just)

We gonna be ok

Get on your knees and pray and you gon' be ok-ay-ay-ay-ay (Just keep our head up)

Everything will be ok

We'll make it through the day

We gon' be ok-ay-ay-ay-ay (The world get so dark sometimes but)

You gonna be ok

Get on your knees and pray and you gon' be ok-ay-ay-ay-ay (You shine so bright)

Uh, sometimes you feel like don't nobody love you

But even when you go through hell you gotta know that heaven right above you

I pray that one day you live a life a of luxury

So you can see that money signs ain't everything, you need to hug your loved ones

If you got kids, you got to love your little ones

They grow so fast and we only live once

And son, I pray for days that you don't have to have a gun

But I also pray you make it around the sun, so what's done is done

And we got people starving all across the globe

We got money for wars but we at war at home

But I'm scared to call this house a home, 'cause I don't really own it

Even when I get my credit right, they still won't loan shit

They tell me I need more, shit, they tell me all this bullshit

The truth is that I'm still a black man, just a rich black man

So mothafuck that plan

Back in the trap again, but that's another trap again, damn

Everything will be ok (And as the world turns)

We'll make it through the day

We gon' be ok-ay-ay-ay-ay

We gonna be ok (I hope you never lose sight of what's right)

Get on your knees and pray and you gon be ok-ay-ay-ay-ay

Everything will be ok (Ok)

We'll make it through the day

We gon' be ok-ay-ay-ay-ay (I'm always here whenever you need me)

We gonna be ok

Get on your knees and pray and you gon be ok-ay-ay-ay-ay

My head under the water

And my eyes are towards the clouds

Let's take a swim right now

Oh, take me deeper in your ocean

Show me where no one's allowed

But don't let me drown

Everything will be ok

We'll make it through the day

We gon' be ok-ay-ay-ay-ay

We gonna be ok

Get on your knees and pray and you gon' be ok-ay-ay-ay-ay

Everything will be ok

We'll make it through the day

We gon' be ok-ay-ay-ay-ay

We gonna be ok

Get on your knees and pray, you gon' be ok-ay-ay-ay-ay
