Might Not Be OK - Kenneth Whalum, Big K.R.I.T.

I won’t tell you that it’s gon' be ok

And I can’t see the sun through all the darkened rays

I don’t claim to have the answer, it’s more than some can say

I won’t tell you that it’s gon' be ok

It might not be ok

Mommas been cryin' and they gon' keep cryin'

Black folk been dyin' and they gon' keep dyin'

Police been firin' and they gon' keep firin'

The government been lyin' and they gon' keep lyin'

Propaganda news channels, that shit is all for show

Camera phone videos is like all we know

Diluting what an eye witness might really say

Because the whole world saw a murder yesterday

Now your account ain’t what it used to be

According to them your eyes can’t adjust to the violence you ain’t used to see

Police brutality is all in your mind

And the tactics that they use only look worse in rewind

And people die everyday, you should get used to it

Hands behind yo' back, face down, and still say you shootin'

Can’t breathe

Knee where your neck be like why you movin'?

Kids in your car, headed home like what you doin'?

Like why you chillin'?

Fuck yo' feelin’s

Why you smilin' when I’m so serious?

I hate patrolling your space, like why you livin'?

Stop asking questions, why you filmin'?

You look suspicious, I think you dealin'

Step out the car, fit the description

Someone I fear, I need to kill it

Blood on the curb, I need it spillin'

'Nother civilian, 'nother not guilty

'Nother T-shirt, 'nother rap lyric

'Nother life gone, I can’t forgive it

I won’t tell you that it’s gon' be ok

And I can’t see the sun through all the darkened rays

I don’t claim to have the answer, it’s more than some can say

I won’t tell you that it’s gon' be ok

It might not be ok
