[Intro]
Evil monkeys roam the land
[Chorus 1: Listener]
(I wanna be okay)
They say a penny saved is a penny earned
And if you play with fire, then you're gonna get burned
(And I'm gonna be okay)
They say an apple a day keeps the doctor away
It'll all give you cancer and kill you anyway
(And I'm gonna be okay)
[Verse 1: Sivion]
They say it's crunk, it's dope, it's hot
But nine times out of ten, it's not
Man, it's just a plot to get you to bow to their plan
To keep you from touching life with your own hands
They say your not hip-hop if you don't rock ice
You can spend the money but what's the real price
If you wear someone's hat then you're bound to get lice
I guess I don't gamble cause I won't roll the dice
I guess I'm not ripping if I don't rip a verse
I guess I'm not living if I don't spit a curse
I guess I'm not digging if I don't move the dirt
I guess I'm not a Christian if I don't go to church
But maybe what they say is really how it works
They gotta infrastructure with the big network
They say they gotta boss that's a big-head jerk
They told me I should work for that big-head jerk, no
[Chorus 2: Listener]
(I wanna be okay)
They say every single cloud has a silver lining
You can close your eyes but the sun won't stop shining
(I'm gonna be okay)
They say the bigger you are, the harder you thud
Sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes you're the bug
[Verse 2: Listener]
I'm a jack-of-all-trades, but a master of none
I hear time flies when you're having fun
That's what they say, what you see is what you get
There's an 'A' class sucker born every minute
They say it's not where you're from, it's where you're at
There's always more than one way to skin that cat
Any friend of yours is a friend of mine
Lord willing, if the creek don't rise
Imma [?] keep on 'til the sun done shine
Global warming is a part of my rhyming
I wear my seat belt and I won't eat meat
And I wear good shoes to protect my feet
Whatever don't kill ya makes you stronger
Money can't buy love or make your life longer
Don't put off till tomorrow what you can do today
Haste makes waste, at least, that's what they say
[Chorus 3: Listener]
(I wanna be okay)
Today's the first day of the rest of your life
Unless you run with scissors and especially knives
(I'm gonna be okay)
The lights are always on, but there's nobody home
You live in a glass house, you shouldn't throw stones
(And I'm gonna be okay)
[Verse 3: Sintax.the.terrific]
I don't care what they say
It's probably misquoted
Plagiarized, abridged or re-worded
They say rock the vote
I say vote in the way that rocks the boat, how they say
Something a hundred different ways
Like crime don't pay but the lottery's okay
My unborn daughter is the Potter's own clay
But they say she isn't a person in that way
I'm waiting for a day to burn what they say
To the ground, build the profound back in it's place
Spit nouns 'til the raw sounds up in your face
Lick a taste of the God found infinite grace
They say words that slay our worth
Yo, I've heard it's been said that what they say is cursed
But Yahweh say words that clay the earth
I've heard it's been said that what he say is birth
[Chorus 4: Listener]
(I wanna be okay)
They say you can't have your cake and eat it too
Just don't bite off more that you can chew
(And I'm gonna be okay)
If they said it once they've said it a thousand times
The grass is never greener on the other side
[Outro: Listener]
I'm gonna be okay
And I'm gonna be all right
I wanna be okay
And I'm gonna be all right
I'm gonna be okay
And I wanna be all right
I'm gonna be okay
And I wanna be okay
You know that they say that you should
You hear that they say that you should
I know that they say what they wanna say
And when you listen to them, that's not good
