Okay Lyrics

[Verse 1: Apollo]
Yo, you see I'm posted in the corner like a stop sign
They used to call me names, now I'm in they fuckin' top five
You the one abusin' me, how the fuck it make sense
That when I push you back, you pussy out and call the hotline?
Nowadays, I sit and wonder why I'm even rappin'
People keep on tellin' me it's probably not gon' happen
My fanbase expanded when I dropped "I Lied"
I ain't lyin' when I tell you motherfuckers that I'm always snappin'
Goddamnit, I'm in a position to make a livin' I'm giving it tenfold
They tryna stop my grind, I'm standin' on my ten toes
I know you know my stories start to finish, yeah I been broke
And all the torture that I been through that only my pen knows

I used to do shows with no one except my fam in it
Used to look through windows, now I'm lookin' out them laminates
I just graduated in May, I couldn't handle it
Contemplated suicide daily but now I manage it
Now it's never smokin' and drinkin', it wasn't for me
My cousin died of heroin, he wasn't even forty

I been tryna talk to God, it feels like He ignores me
I guess you get abandonment issues when you live poorly
Lansing where I'm from and where I'm reppin', don't come near me
I'm workin' 'til I rather D-I-E, I'm never weary
You don't have to like the way I'm seem when I'm in purse of it
When I get in the booth, you motherfuckers gonna hear me!
[Chorus: PhourTheLove]
So we gon' be okay
Yeah, we gon' be okay
Sooner rather than later, hit that fastbreak and lay up
Made it off of shit we made of
Been basements, late nights, we stayed up
So we gon' be okay
Yeah, we gon' be okay
Sooner rather than later
Sooner rather than later

[Verse 2: Packy]
You see I'm posted in the corner like a stop sign
Every beat I touch is in the coroner, you cappin' when it's crunch time
I'ma be okay, I'm fine
I never dug myself in a hole that I can't climb
I'm calculated, y'all so thirsty
You fake the facade, you ashamed of your journey
This gon' be my greatest achievement
I'm goin' back to work to practice what I'm preachin'
Had my days in Ibiza, eatin' paella
God was blessin' me but I was skippin' my prayers and restin' on my laurels
Tellin' stories but they missin' morals
Livin' fantasies so why am I missin' normal? This backwards
We all do it for the look, we actors
We absurd, rather get the likes than the answers
Y'all keep the first take, I'ma have the last word
Apollo takin' off and ownin' all his masters
And never got his Bachelor's and writin' all of his chapters
And fuck anybody that feel a way about it
Y'all just some dudes that never made it
Y'all never sacrificed nothin'
Y'all 'bout to find out where we can take it
If you hatin', you better be innovatin'
Who the fuck is you if you ain't take your own advice?
How the hell did Packy do it? He must be playin' with loaded dice
All I ever hear is excuses, a bunch of losers
All I do is give it time and they go poltergeist
Been here for a decade, how am I the nicest in the city still?
People talkin' what they'd like to do, they never will
I'm real as they come, I just happen to rap
I put a couple people on and I got stabbed in the back
I shoulda known this industry is shady
I learned a lesson though, that lesson is to just remain me

I could be flippin' burgers, still be the same person
Still put the same work in, this how I know that we gon' be okay
[Chorus: PhourTheLove]
So we gon' be okay
Yeah, we gon' be okay
Sooner rather than later, hit that fastbreak and lay up
Made it off of shit we made of
Been basements, late nights, we stayed up
So we gon' be okay (Ooh)
Yeah, we gon' be okay (Ooh)
Sooner rather than later (Ooh)
Sooner rather than later (Ooh)

[Outro: PhourTheLove]
So we gon' be okay

About

Genius Annotation

“Okay” is the first single off of Apollo’s debut album. The song features PhourTheLove and labelmate Packy, and has artwork that seems to be a window and its shadow. This could pay ode to the following line that Apollo raps in the song: “Used to look through windows, now I’m lookin' out them laminates”

Apollo’s verse tackles a handful of different subjects, ranging from past relationships to his status in the rap game as an up-and-comer. On the other hand, Packy discusses his status as a more experienced and how he was able to accumulate a following, while also bringing up a recent (but notable) situation with former labelmates.

Though both Apollo and Packy have always featured intricate lyrical abilities, the eery beat produced by BeatsCraze and Moe-T matches perfectly with this rap-heavy track, while PhourTheLove’s melodic chorus serves as the perfect contrast.
