​little suzy (be okay)

[Intro: sample and Bishop Nehru]
Umm, does anybody else see a little girl standing there, or is it just me? (studio audience laughing)
That's Suzy!
Okay, well... Hey, little Suzy, how are you feeling?
She don’t talk. Not since the fire. (more laughter)
Uhh...

Yeah
Little Suzy it'll be okay
Little Suzy it'll be okay
Be okay, be okay

[Chorus]
Little Suzy just be okay
Just try to keep your head high every day
Little Suzy just be okay
Just try to keep your head high every day
Little Suzy just be okay, just be okay
Little Suzy just be okay, just be okay

[Verse 1]
I knew a lost soul lookin’ for a place to call home
No, literally, she was alone and she was homeless
Close to hopeless, just hopin' to keep her focus
Even her B.O. won't let her be with those closest
So she's full of emotions, try and find a way for copin'
Remember that we'll get back in a moment
Anyway, her head was strong, but her thoughts control it
And the negative seem to be what she always go with
So it's reflected, and that's what she don’t even know
It’s keepin' her feelin’ bogus, she's delicate like a lotus
Feelin' like she reached the lowest, waitin' for a high
To finally rise her into the sky like a jet floatin’
But it's takin' long, and she's low on devotion
So she found another high to help the commotion
And the worst kind: with a needle and a pokin'
She just so thick but her skin, oh so thin

[Chorus]
Little Suzy just be okay
Just try to keep your head high every day
Little Suzy just be okay
Just try to keep your head high every day
Little Suzy just be okay, just be okay
Little Suzy just be okay, just be okay

[Verse 2]
So now she deep in a hole, wondering, "where do I go?"
Her body tellin' her "yes", but mind is telling her "no"
She tried takin' it slow, but it don't work anymo'
So while she thinkin' of winnin', she think of slittin' her throat
And I be tellin' her, "Don't, you gotta think of your pride
Even though we get them same kind of feelings inside"
And they be sayin' pride hold you back most of the time
Rewind: pride hold your back most of the time
If it didn't, you'd kick it with a nigga who did you slime
So I told her keep her head up, she rightfully declined
Now her head down often, 'cause shorty was doin' lines
And not the kind you memorize, I mean her demise
If she let it be, but now her mental is gettin' weak
So it's hard to find a release when all the demons speak
Her eyes were wide open, now she don't even peek
Seems she would rather tweak than be livin' unique
But please

[Chorus]
Little Suzy just be okay
Just try to keep your head high every day
Little Suzy just be okay
Just try to keep your head high every day
Little Suzy just be okay, just be okay
Little Suzy just be okay, just be okay
