(Verse 1)
Aight check it
Here I am again spilling my heart on a record
Like my pen just exploded, ink’s all over I messed up
Coz now there’s an ocean of emotions gonna crash on the coast and
Ima need Moses to come over so I don’t drown from the pressure
All this coz I couldn’t keep the ink bottled up inside
Why? This is like any other problem I would hide
In plain sight, I could laugh while there was a cage fight
Happening in me, the real me always had stage fright
He never surfaced, and the show carried on
Look, he was nice and talented but he was barely on
He was just added baggage, an extra carry on
So I cut him off the roster and thought “there, he’s gone.”
But then he sneaked back in, kidnapped me to replace me
We look exactly alike and his demeanor had changed, see
He chained me to a rock in an underground dungeon, alone
And so nobody noticed that he has been running the show
(Chorus)
Is everything ok?
Ya mom, i’m good
Hey, what’s wrong babe?
Nothing, i’m good
Hey, man you aight?
Ya bro, i’m good
Look, don’t worry about me, even though you should
Is everything ok?
Ya mom, i’m good
Hey, what’s wrong babe?
Nothing, i’m good
Hey, man you aight?
Ya bro, i’m good
Look, don’t worry about me, even though you should
Look, don’t worry about me, even though you should
Look, don’t worry about me, even though you should
(Verse 2)
You guys really don’t know the real big U yet
Fuck, close friends and fam barely know the real Youssef
And you’d know less if he never even released music
Don’t take it personal, that’s just the way U is
Future’s bright but the light’s covered by my silhouette
That has a tendency to partake in Russian Roulette
The bullet is depression, and I’d play every day
Yet I’ve had half a mind to let it spray at my head and pray
To take all the stress away, get the surprise out the way
So when I wake, I’ll know that I won’t leave the house today
Ya it’d be every day, but this is how shit’s bound to be
Like it’s my destiny to live like im always sound asleep
I wanna get up to a crowd of mes and a standing ovation
But they just boo and jeer, man I wish that the mansion was vacant
Stuck in the back of the basement, can’t let sadness and rage win
This a losing battle im facing, tune in after my brain splits
(Chorus)
Is everything ok?
Ya mom, i’m good
Hey, what’s wrong babe?
Nothing, i’m good
Hey, man you aight?
Ya bro, i’m good
Look, don’t worry about me, even though you should
Is everything ok?
Ya mom, i’m good
Hey, what’s wrong babe?
Nothing, i’m good
Hey, man you aight?
Ya bro, i’m good
Look, don’t worry about me, even though you should
Look, don’t worry about me, even though you should
Look, don’t worry about me, even though you should
(Verse 3)
Third verse and I’m done filling this poem all up with riddles
It honestly can’t hurt that much to open up just a little
Damn, allow some amount of ink to get passed the dam
Wish I could forever live young like Im always in Amsterdam
Even though life filled with regrets since I started life as a Rugrat
You say I shouldn’t have that mindset but honestly fuck that
If it’s true, you think being positive is gonna make it change bruh?
I hate it when all is good and then it starts to suck bad
So you tell yourself that tomorrow’s another day but
You wake up, your life’s still littered with the same stuff
They can tell something’s off, they ask you just play dumb
Keep your defenses, can’t have any cards shown face up
“Yu-gi-oh really? Tell me, why you such a child?
Bitching about this shit, with all your cries running wild
Depression’s no higher than mild,” this not my mind in denial but look
Im not gonna stop saying that im good, even though I should
(Chorus)
Is everything ok?
Ya mom, i’m good
Hey, what’s wrong babe?
Nothing, i’m good
Hey, man you aight?
Ya bro, i’m good
Look, don’t worry about me, even though you should
Is everything ok?
Ya mom, i’m good
Hey, what’s wrong babe?
Nothing, i’m good
Hey, man you aight?
Ya bro, i’m good
Look, don’t worry about me, even though you should
