Verse 1
I remember the days…..when everything was really really good
At least that’s what I saw from my neck of the woods
My dad was in the navy, my mama had a business
A hair and nail salon, at that time it was the bomb
We never lacked the paper cos my dad a steady chaser
Yeah he running to the money even when it wasn’t sunny
Talking first class trips, the latest in fly whips
And yeah he rode a beemer never had to get a nina
A martial arts champ, fighting in all arenas
Murking all opponents with kicks like Benzema
From Japan to France, all the way to Amsterdam
The first man to bring a Sensei to the Motherland
He always thought me never trust a man but shake his hands
Cos when worst comes to worst, the same man can split your hand
So live for your family and do what’s right
Cos the haters stay lurking, hungry, ready to bite
Hook
Yeah my dad always said
Don’t worry, everything will be okay
Kay, kay, be okay
Whatever comes running our way, way way,
Running our way
Everything will be okay,
Kay, kay, Be okay
Verse 2
I remember the days….when we didn’t have a place to stay
From 1-1-2, straight up to Mile 2
To 24 Road with my homie Lokoson
Times was hard, way colder than Cole’s shoulders
But looking bummy man was never really funny
Plus I never had a job, so I didn’t have the money
The bread winner never came home with the dinner
He was out there living his life, the Born Sinner
The newspapers said he was a big deal
Got a big ole contract worth 70 mill
But can’t show nothing for it, he prolly spent it all
Splurge around the world with them silly little girls
Rocked the latest trends like the diamonds and the pearls
And while his fam suffered, man, can’t even find supper
Shit….can’t blame my mom for leaving his ass
Should have been way more responsible by being a real dad
Hook
Yeah my mom always said
Don’t worry, everything will be okay
Kay, kay, be okay
Whatever comes running out way
Way, way, running our way
Everything will be okay
Kay, kay, be okay
Verse 3
Steady chasing this dream ever since I was a teen
Living life by the motto of get it by any means
So I…stopped going to college to get a freaking degree
I simply risked it and skipped it cos this life ain’t just for me
Of working a 9 to 5 and rocking a suit and tie
Where every day is a struggle, you’re hustling to get by
All of your frame of mind is working until you die
Just so your friends and your fam could call you the fucking man
Rather keep making music, regret it if I don’t use a
Talent given by God, you see it, it’s no mirage
Put my life in my rhymes, I live it, its no façade
Trying to live out my dreams by quitting this dead end job
But as….much as I hate it I’m still at this 9 to 5
Rocking this suit and tie, just hustling to get by
Just trying to help my fam see I can’t slave for Uncle Sam
So I’ll….just keep on rocking, no stopping, til’ I get popping
Hook
Just living life day by day
Knowing that everything will be okay,
Kay, kay, be okay
Whatever comes running my way
Way, way, running my way
I know everything will be okay
Kay, kay, be okay
