Somebody called me earlier
But I was still asleep
They let the phone ring
For a good second or two or three
Probably bill collectors
Looking for my money to keep
Oh well
I'm broke
They'll call back
Later this week
Am I okay
Yea
And are you okay
Yea
Guess we're okay
Yea we're okay
For now
And am I okay
Yea
And are you okay
Yea
Guess we're okay
Yea we're okay for now
Later on
I took the L
To find something to eat
I heard some young girl spittin'
Atop some funky new beat
On the corner she stood
A cup in her hands
Offering her words of struggles
Of peace
Well...
Am I okay?
Yea
And are you okay?
Yea
Guess we're okay
Yea we're okay
For now
And am I okay
Yea
And are you okay
Yea
Guess we're okay
Yea we're okay
For now
Yea thank God
We even beat the odds
We even beat the lies
We even beat the fear
Of what we internalize
I fight for him
I fight for her
I fight for all of mine
I'm in a place of no space and time
I know you tired of trying
Two jobs, two kids
Girl I see it in your eyes
You laugh
You love
Yet, you always tried to hide
But never budge even on a budget
Student loans you can't afford it
Tired of working hard
Hardly getting paid nothin'
Treat you wrong
They swear that minimum wage is something
But look at the way to freedom
The Star's the light to Eden
Let love be the reason if you ever feel it leaving
No handouts
So I know you'll never be defeated
And keep going
Cause you know you got a greater meaning
And keep fighting
Cause you know you gonna beat your demons
And live on
And don't forget to ask your people
Are you okay
Yea
And are you okay
Yea
Guess we're okay
Yea we're okay for now
And am I okay
Yea
And are you okay yea
Guess we're okay
Yea we're okay for now
Are you okay yea
So pass me that right there
Am I okay yea
Pass me that right there
