Uh, uh

Sometimes I'm not okay and that's okay (and that's okay)
Same shit new day, I'll wear that crown
I'll bear that pain, I'll be okay (I'll bear that)
My money long, my people straight, or so they say
I'll wear that smile, I'll be okay
I'll be holdin' me down solo, holdin' me down solo
Holdin' me down solo, holdin' me down solo

Wake up, wake up, wake up, say a prayer and counting blessing, I
Look inside the mirror see a face that I don't recognize
Airways too polluted revolution will be televised
Still can't watch the news, the politics feel like a pantomime
Agents all around me, tryna take my soul and weaponize
Still can't trust a soul 'cause they might take the truth and improvise
Burned so many bridges, reason I can't even see the sky
Careful of the compliments the Devil come in new disguise
Nowadays it's do or die, unity mean you and I
Hit the 'Gram and do the most, act like everything is fine
Act like a brother don't bleed and a brother don't feel
And a brother don't cry sometimes
Won't go back, nah, can't go back to the feeling
That I really wanna die sometimes
Get some pussy, penetrate
Blow a stem and medicate
If that don't work I meditate
If that don't work I hit repeat
If that don't work I work on me
If that don't work well time will tell
If they won't say I tell myself

Sometimes I'm not okay and that's okay (and that's okay)
Same shit new day, I'll wear that crown
I'll bear that pain, I'll be okay (I'll bear that)
My money long, my people straight, or so they say
I'll wear that smile, I'll be okay
I'll be holdin' me down solo, holdin' me down solo
Holdin' me down solo, holdin' me down solo

I know I won't have no regrets
I can live at peace knowing I gave it my best (gave it my best)
So many nights in my head
Lonely nights in my bed
Fighting demons 'til we both were at rest (both were at rest)
Nobody told me it would be easy, it was a challenge
Nobody showed me the ropes, I had to learn a balance on my own
Put in that hard work with the talent and grow
Learn and let love cleanse the palate and soul
I know my skin tone make the news, we bend and break the rules
We see through smoke and mirrors, it feel like April Fool's
Visit Ronny in that level four prison, can't play it cool
Survivor's guilt be on my back when I sit in that waiting room
I wonder (I wonder)
Why is luck on my side?
Am I covered? (Covered, covered)
I don't question it, I just
I just, I just notice the patters around me
Feeling like the rings of Saturn around me orbit, hmm, yeah
All this chatter around me
Falling deep in the abyss but it don't matter

Sometimes I'm not okay and that's okay
Same shit new day, I'll wear that crown
I'll bear that pain, I'll be okay (I'll bear that pain)
My money long, my people straight, or so they say (my money long, ooh)
I'll wear that smile, I'll be okay
I'll be holdin' me down solo, holdin' me down solo
Holdin' me down solo, holdin' me down solo

My mother's voice always felt like home
But eventually you're alone, solo
Finding a reason to smile
When I was a boy, I looked for examples of men
Then I realized
