[Verse 1: Ollie]
20 years old, and I don't really got a clue
Until about a year ago, see, playing football was all I knew
MVP. Star recruit
Thinking I was making moves
Then my Freshman year, I dropped out of school
Never felt so alone
Apparently was making it by
Sit in my room and I'd cry
Constantly wondering why?
Falling behind, losing my mind
Searching for something I never could find
Wasting my time. Working for dimes
Sick of me sitting and waiting in line
Picked up a pen, writing these songs in my head
Hoping my music would spread, but this is my pa**ion
Most of my songs and they laughing. Funny now
Who the one laughing? Look at what happened
Records they smashing. Riches and heights n' I couldn't imagine
Came a long way from the basement and rappin'
Giving my all just to make this happen
Night after night
Write and I write
Praying my story is saving a life
I've been there too
Been in those shoes
Listen to which, just to help me get though
See, it's more than just music;
More than my likes and my views
Its more than my pain and my bruises
Loving and losin'
More than a drink and consumin' and more than a dream I'm pursuin'. And that's real
[Chorus]
And we've all been up
And we've all been down
And we've all had days that we don't wanna talk about
But I know, that its okay. (That you're okay)
And we've all been hurt
And we've all felt pain
And we've all had days where we can barely restrain
But I know, that its okay. (That you're okay)
[Verse 2: Ollie]
May 21st, 2013
Me and my bro were driving home, in what seemed like a dream
I woke up to these people, tons of police on the scene
My car was in pieces, turn to my left, my brother was fighting to breathe
I stayed in my house, writing these songs while he up in the ICU
Sick of these fake friends and this fake love I could see right through
I knew I was crazy for dreaming but dreaming is just something I do and you better believe that 6 months later, he was saying good bye to the hospital room
Said "f** that, this ain't it
I refuse for my life to be this, sick of this sh**."
He worked and he worked, giving his all
Never called quits. So we all have a choice
A choice to be something we choose
Doing what I wanna do
f** what they say, I'm counting the lives that change not worried with money I make
I mean that for real
Everyone feels. Never alone cause everyone's fighting their hell. Everyone's searching for something thats more than these jobs and these bills
It's all about will
I'm reaching my hand, I'm hoping these people can see what I can
More than a product, more than a brand
I'd do this for us and I mean nobody's de-mands
[Chorus]
And we've all been up
And we've all been down
And we've all had days that we don't wanna talk about
But I know, that its okay. (That you're okay)
And we've all been hurt
And we've all felt pain
And we've all had days where we can barely restrain
But I know, that its okay. (That you're okay)
[Outro]
That its okay. That you're okay
