Song language: English
It's O.K. |
When brothers who was once real get a record deal |
Their poetry and prose start switching like hoes |
Those who was once skilled try to go commercial |
While other imbeciles attempt to immerse you |
In fictional narratives that ain’t that imperative |
About things they never done and ways that they’ll never live |
While I work hard to keep my 9 to the 5 |
Cause I never relied on kickin' rhymes to survive |
Cause rappers start thinking about selling units |
That’s when they fall victim to stale influence |
Niggas be lying, cause they too lazy |
To do for theyself, relying on true shady |
Scheme for wealth, and plus they got a baby |
Can’t even help self, their seed, or their lady |
It’s crazy cause the same nigga chasing the dollar |
Won’t even consider the lifestyle of a scholar |
But to escape the squalor he’ll sell lala and wallabees |
And open up his block’s 20th beauty parlor |
He’s a sucker, infatuated with America |
For Lucci all my children play theyself like Erica |
I lyrically box brothers, who be on the box cutters |
Can’t even nick, when I kick the one two |
And a, son it’s magic, but tragic |
The way you ride the Johnson |
Like Bailey on the mic I’mma dust you with the daily |
See a rhyme should be designed to make a brother use his mental |
And force hip-hop to reach its fullest potential |
So dummies come simple like Langston Hughes |
I watch em kneel like Zora, and Tom like Cruise |
It’s OK, you ain’t got to live the life of a thug |
It’s OK, you ain’t got to rhyme about selling drugs |
It’s OK, you ain’t got to fit a commercial niche |
It’s OK, you ain’t got to call your sister no bitch |
It’s OK, you ain’t got to play the role of the fool |
It’s OK, you can be dope and still finish school |
It’s OK, you ain’t got to glorify what’s wrong |
It’s OK, you ain’t got to sample RnB songs |
All these half-pint niggas is followers |
They could never measure up to a liter, they be the |
Same sorry negros who try to convey |
That it’s all good, nah brother, it’s just OK |
Now on the mic like a leper I leave people petrified |
Rip a rappers rep and pride, and tell him step aside |
Brothers running while we rushing like Pushkin |
Attack like a push pin, I push pins cross the paper |
But D be dodging the dotted, making grants |
But holding off at the hancock |
Getting grants and building up a fan block |
Of hardcore heads who gotta see their man rock |
So should a sucker their step to oppose us |
The crowd might stone him to death like Moses |
Crew’ll kick a nigga smack dead in the ass crack |
For trying to attack with weakass wisecracks |
But me I just battle back with lyrical technique |
More deadly than ass kick and letting a tech speak |
The Capital, can’t cap Capital’s capital |
So Capital gains and maintains a rapid flow |
Of currency changing hands within the community |
Now currently Polygram and Sony are suing me |
But I passed the polygraph, these labels ain’t screwing me |
D ain’t polygamous to polemic for politics |
A sodomist’s gonorrhea would burn like Sodom and Gomorrah |
So we ain’t a whore to companies for a quarter |
Underground and independent, I’m a direct descendant |
Of the first pioneer while suckers perspire fear |
Hoping that they get re-signed for the next year |
I stay at least a leg up on em like a pap-smear |
Don’t even rap near, Capital D, you best stand clear |
It’s OK, you ain’t got to live a life a crime |
It’s OK, you ain’t got to be a sucker to rhyme |
It’s OK, you ain’t got to dance in your videos |
It’s OK, you ain’t got to chill with 2 dollar hoes |
It’s OK, you ain’t got to holler out keep it real |
It’s OK, you can be dope and kick what you feel |
It’s OK, you ain’t got to wish that you was a star |
It’s OK, all you got to do is be who you are |
It’s OK, ya’ll |
It’s OK |
It’s OK, you ain’t got to live the life of a thug |
You ain’t got to rhyme about selling drugs |
You ain’t got to fit a commercial niche |
And you ain’t got to call your sister no bitch |
You ain’t got to play the role of the fool |
You can be dope and still finish school |
You ain’t got to glorify what’s wrong |
And you ain’t got to sample RnB songs |
