[Chorus: Chris Patrick]
Used to feel like we'd drown if we strayed far
They kept us locked in our head
Used to feel we was bound for the graveyard
Always thought we be dead
And Momma said, don’t fret baby
You gon see some day
Even when you lost
You gon find the way
She said that “You gon be okay
You gon be okay”
[Verse 1: Chris Patrick]
It was dark out in the city but we always found the light
When the sirens of the cop car got real vibrant in the night
Use to pray for brighter futures where we'd change our way of life
But instead wе found more trauma and we greatly paid thе price
Armored with the scars in which the drugs were you use to numb down
Hard to show emotion in a culture where it's gunned down
Weakness on the battlefront exposing those who come ’round
Do or die, plotting for solutions til' the sun down
Disadvantaged but the panic made us see the lies
It's hard to fly with extra baggage draggin through the dirt
We always thought we'd live forever we could never die
But every year we addin niggas to another shirt
And it's insane
The bleakness of our outcome
Is allegor' for pain
Sometimes I think we meant for this
Sometimes I feel ashamed
But momma said don't worry now
Cos everything gon' change
[Chorus: Chris Patrick, Jahee Hunter, Leah Snow, Alesha Shorter]
Use to feel like we’d drown if we strayed far
They kept us locked in our head
Use to feel we was bound for the graveyard
Always thought we be dead
And Momma said, don’t fret baby
You gon see some day
Even when you lost
You gon find the way
She said “You gon be okay
You gon be okay” (Okay)
[Verse 2: Chris Patrick, Leah Snow, Alesha Shorter]
Some day we (Some day)
Gon make this work out (We can)
We gon make this move (Make it, through)
I don't want my (I don’t)
Life out wasting (Wanna)
We gon make it through (Through)
Some day we
Gon make this work out
We gon make this move
I don't want my
Life out wasting
We gon make it through
[Chorus: Chris Patrick, Jahee Hunter, Leah Snow, Alesha Shorter]
Use to feel like we'd drown if we strayed far
They kept us locked in our head
Use to feel we was bound for the graveyard
Always thought we be dead
And Momma said, don't fret baby
You gon see some day
Even when you lost
You gon’ find the way
She said that “You gon' be okay
You gon' be okay” (Okay)
[Bridge: Alesha Shorter]
Okay
Okay, Okay
Okay
Oh, Okay
Okay, Okay
Okay
[Chorus: Chris Patrick, Jahee Hunter, Leah Snow, Alesha Shorter]
Use to feel like we'd drown if we strayed far
They kept us locked in our head
Use to feel we was bound for the graveyard
Always thought we be dead
And Momma said, don't fret baby
You gon see some day
Even when you lost
You gon' find the way
She said that “You gon' be okay
You gon' be okay” (Okay)
