Badi: Be Ok

back for the first time and I ain't leaving again
without fam I'll lose before I even begin
home at last and I'm breathing it in
you see the surface value I know the hidden secrets within
so I gotta represent for the people on the ave
where status ain't measured by how much you have
and I know that this world will come to pass
but the goal of the game, I'm still running past
or it's like I'm hiding behind a mask
and ain't coming out until enough time has passed
but na I can't ignore the signs
I need to start looking out for more than mine
but I stop at the borderline cause I'm in fear of losing
what I hold dear but what do I have here
all I got is my fellow man, they outside
I belong by their side, we fight to stay alive
CHORUS:
come around my way
I ain't got nothin but a ball and a chain
tell me mister man do still wanna play
my people stand up just say
it's gon be OK
and at the end of the day
It's hard to hold back trying to place all the blame
living in a struggle but I stay in the game
my people stand up just say
it's gon be OK
sincere people keep putting in work
cause change is dependent on what we each do
trust I'm here with you, and they wonder how
I'ma reach the masses but the last thing that I could do is down it down
cause that would just add insult to the injury
this mindset has been injecting into me
so you have got to be kidding me
I could care less what the majority of the upper class considers interesting
that's all irrelevant and I can't even tell if it's
what we really feel is right or what is on the television
made to forget the honor of wisdom intelligence
look my peoples road of life ain't made out of yellow bricks
I've said it before, this day is like never before
today we settle the score for what we stand for
and demand more out of each other as one
when we discover we're one, and then the struggle is won
CHORUS:
come around my way
I ain't got nothin but a ball and a chain
tell me mister man do still wanna play
my people stand up just say
it's gon be OK
and at the end of the day
It's hard to hold back trying to place all the blame
living in a struggle but I stay in the game
my people stand up just say
it's gon be OK
