Even if I don't stay
Everything will be okay
Everything will be okay
Everything will be okay
(Okay, okay)
[Verse 1: G-Eazy]
Contemplating just who I could've turned out to be
If I'd stayed and weren’t heard, what would amount to me?
If I had looked and ain't found, would I have founded me?
I mean inside, would they love me?
Never looked down on me?
They say, "You know if you loved her
Well then you would have stayed
You could have made a perfect pair
That people wouldn't trade"
Trade for nothing, I did though, I had to chase it
Face it, I wasn’t born to live a life basic
They say, "you turned your back on us
Just to go and be an artist
What's a promise anyway when someone breaks it?
I bet he finally gets a shot and then he wastes it
I bet he don’t come back for us when he makes it
And if he do it be too late, you gotta face it
Cause by then there's someone new
You've been replaced with
Old friends I grew up with, the girl I fell in love with
Love or hate me depending on how you judge it
[Hook: Kehlani]
Even if I don't stay
Everything will be okay
Everything will be okay
(I promise it'll be okay)
Everything will be okay
(Okay, okay)
[Verse 2: G-Eazy]
I had to wander, I had to go tread my own path
If you don't step through no mud well then it won't last
The years pass it's crazy how they go fast
Ask myself questions that you have but you won't ask
Like, "you don’t even come home enough
Where were you when she was in the hospital, huh?
It was only us," and that’s deep and yeah I know it cuts
But if it gets you, then you’re weak
Because we were here and it ain’t broken us
Still as close and stayed by her side when no one was
Like when she lost her job and everything, how broke we was
When she was sick and she needed some taking care of
A fifteen year old shouldered the weight
And when he was scared of
The worst, I know that you stayed strong
Don’t say this enough
But you made me just as proud as you made Mom
Yeah, you got some anger but I don’t blame you at all
I know I don't call, but you're my brother, I love you
[Hook: Kehlani]
Even if I don't stay
Everything will be okay
Everything will be okay
(I promise it'll be okay)
Everything will be okay
(Okay, okay)
[Verse 3: G-Eazy]
In that first grade class they came and got me
"Your mom's outside, say goodbye now to everybody"
U-Haul was waiting with all of her things
At least what she could pack
In the time my dad's at work and before he came back
Way too young to comprehend what was happening
"Are we going to grandma's?
When are we coming back again?"
Little did I know that we were leaving him by himself
And ten years would pass before Mom sees anybody else
Just us, in middle school I ain't understand
Who Melissa was and why she wasn't another
Even if I don't stay
Everything will be okay
Everything will be okay
Everything will be okay
(Okay, okay)
