text: Even if I dont stay
  Everything will be okay
  Everything will be okay
  Everything will be okay
  Contemplatin just who I coulda turned out to be
  If Ida stayed and weren’t heard, what would amount to me?
  If I had looked and ain’t found what I have found in 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 wouldnt 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, whats 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 itd be too late, you gotta face it
  Cause by then theres someone new you 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
  Even if I dont stay
  Everything will be okay
  Everything will be okay
  Everything will be okay
  I had to wander, I had to go tread my own path
  If you dont step through no mud, well then it wont last
  The years pass, its crazy how they go fast
  Ask myself questions you have, but that you wont 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 that gets you, then you’re weak cause 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 what he was scared of
  The worst, I know that you stayed strong
  I 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 dont call, but youre my brother
  I love ya
  Even if I dont stay
  Everything will be okay
  Everything will be okay
  Everything will be okay
  Yeah, in that first grade class they came and got me
  Your moms 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 dads at work and before he came back
  Way too young to comprehend what was happenin
  Are we going to grandmas? 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 aint understand
  Who Melissa was and why she wasnt another man
  Biased and confused, they try explain, but nobody can
  Wanted what I thought was normal, she had another plan
  Such is life, even if it took time for me to accept it
  No longer Dad now, but a woman with whom she slept with
  Over the years when a secret was how she kept it
  I aint get it, admittedly I was skeptic
  I came around, happiness I sees what you may have found
  And thats whats most important, I don’t wanna see you breaking down
  I wanna see you smile, I dont wanna see you make a frown
  If she loves you, then thats all anybody needs maybe now
  By 05 things had gotten worse
  Moved to the basement, deep depressions a rotten curse
  Hidin in a dark space, her mind and her body hurts
  Becomin more reclusive and the pills should have been alerts
  So the worse it got, I became more and more afraid
  Until one night, I went into that room, on the floor she laid
  I shook her, she was blue, her skin was cold and she wasnt breathin
  Screamed, Melissa wake up, couldnt fathom that she was leavin
  Mom and Bro was runnin down, I screamed Somebody help
  Try pumping her chest, CPR, but it didn’t help
  Toughest pill to swallow, but we lost, that’s forced reflection
  While in her life you made her happy, thank you for the blessin
  Even if I dont stay
  Everything will be okay
  Everything will be okay
  Everything will be okay
