It's Okay lyrics

[Verse]I used to think that things would be okay ifMaybe I just pray and play my partI'd start to build a rapportWith more MCs, but see it's not asEasy as it seems, it seems I needA little more practiceMy measures was drasticBut what would you doIf food eluded you andYou were much too poor to affordA cordless phone to phone for helpWhat else is left? I guess theBest solution is to pay your dues...I had hella problemsProb'ly gotta drop up outta collegeKnowledge is the key, the lock was in my walletCall it a hunch, but once I bunched my plans togetherSeverin' ties, creatin' new onesI knew somebody'd prob'ly hear what I had to sayMy patience payin' off, I'm off to better daysBut hey I promise I'll be back, but packed with platinum plaquesI'll see you at the Grammys...
