[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
