[Verse 1]
Uh, every little n***a got a rap dream
Every little n***a gotta pack heat
Every little n***a sold a little bit of everything
And now they feelin' trapped, yup, that's me
Raised in the middle of the ghetto ride
Where my n***as multiply and we don't ever die
Murder, murder, kill, kill, never tell a guy
Whatever you saw, when they ask about it, tell a lie
Revolution never will be televised
But they wanna be up on the television tellin' lies
Oh my, my time, I'm ahead of mine
Devil on my shoulder tryna get into this head of mine
And lately I've been prayin' for some better times
Everybody always givin' up on me instead of tryin'
Sick of tryna get it with them petty crimes
'Cause I know it's gonna catch up to a n***a every time
I don't wanna take a medication
I'ma tell 'em I'm ready to be home
And I'ma tell them that I'm hella fine
Even though I'm feeling like I wanna kill myself
But now I'm getting discharged and it's check out time
They don't give a fuck if I am dead alive
They just want their money 'cause they're getting by
My neighborhood ain't healthy, there was nobody to help me
So I load up a Beretta then I let it fly
[Chorus]
But you tell me it's okay
But you tell me it's okay
But you tell me it's okay
But you tell me it's okay
Even though it's not true
Tell me it's okay
Even though it's not true
Tell me it's okay
Even though it's not true
Tell me it's okay
Even though it's not true
Tell me it's okay
Even though it's not true

[Verse 2]
And every little woman got a dad, peep
Every little woman in the ghetto is a black queen
But every little woman never get to have a father
And that's really fucked up if you ask me
Raised in the middle of the ghetto ride
Comin' out the projects, beautiful with hella pride
Low self esteem, so a n***a take advantage
When he tell her that he love her
Now she down for whatever right?
Tryna be grown, she was hella fly
Only 13 but she started to develop thighs
Hanging in the club gettin' hella high
Promoter fuckin' her, so they gon' let her ride
Check her ID, but they never wile
Mama never there, she be out there fuckin' hella guys
Now she wanna go and be a stripper
When you n***as out there throwin' money at her pro'bly every night
Telling her to pop that pussy for a real n***a
Tryna mack a lost chick for a bill n***a
Make her sniff a little coke and pop a pill n***a
Homie that could be your daughter, how you feel n***a?
Still a slave in the mind, fuck a field n***a
Be alive, free your mind, keep it real wit ya?
Still a slave in the mind, fuck a field n***a
Be alive, free your mind, keep it real wit ya?
[Chorus]
She said, "Tell me it's okay"
She said,"Tell me it's okay"
She said,"Tell me it's okay"
She said,"Tell me it's okay"
Even though it's not true
Tell me it's okay
Even though it's not true
Tell me it's okay
Even though it's not true
Tell me it's okay
Even though it's not true
Tell me it's okay
Even though it's not true
