I'll Be OK

[Intro: Slug]

Burn it down...

[Verse 1: Slug & Aesop Rock]

Pad the circles 'round your life

To capture all the sides you sight

Magic tricks where skeptics sink

The ice is thin, stay off the lake

Waiting for a clock to punch

Wish I could breathe and stop for lunch

If I stop to count the leaves on only one of these here trees

Not sure that I know what's pure

Born to kill the insecure

Some respect, some resent, some remain from start to end

Wear my heart on my short sleeves

I'm stuck out here, I lost my keys

From the roof I watch the street

And pray for those that's caught beneath

As long as I know right from wrong

I'll be ok, I'll sing my songs

As long as I know right from wrong

I'll be ok, I'll sing my songs

I dunno what I have left

To give other than truth and breath

Angel when she shuts her eyes

Like we will leave to my demise

Between my time is short

About to start my last resort

Wake me up when it's time to make babies

Talkin planet earthquakes

Tied the laces, touch the ground

Let emotions ruptured now

As long as I know right from wrong

I'll be ok I'll sing my songs

[Chorus: Aesop Rock, Slug]

As long as I know right from wrong

I'll be ok, I'll sing my songs

Well as long as I know right from wrong

I'll be ok, I'll sing my songs

As long as I know right from wrong

I'll be ok, I'll sing my songs

Well as long as I know right from wrong

I'll be ok, I'll sing my songs

[Verse 2: Aesop Rock]

I wanna lift every yellowbrick

I've never felt pressure to have to justify my selfishness

At least not to you and yours

Maybe just my friends and fellowships

As long as the mood is somehow linked to my enhanced development

I swear they'll understand!!!

There's a storm outside my tenement

Beats upon my windows with Mother Nature's adrenaline

I guess that's why my homie Blockhead stays glued to the television

Now I look less intelligent

Cuz I'm the one that tried to bear the elements and lost

Well it's warm by the filament

Huddled up close in the company of all my relatives

Stories, laughs, black coffee and honest-to-God sentiment

Cocooned inside the unified efforts to all get settled in

Away from where the rain pours!

Well count your delegates

Weed out the bums who practice migration other than elegant

Of course I realize the filtering procedure's delicate

But let devils inside to collide with your overzealousness

And fall to rock bottom

Spot 'em with their carelessness

The urge could burst to turn even those pacifist to militant

You can't even have half of free second

To become jealous in

You gotta aim, fire and aspire to be model veteran

Buried in merit badges

I'm stuck in the center and could care less

About the eye of the storm and its monstrous measurements

I got a defense that I call coolin' with my brethren

Sometimes I get wet

But it's better than risking life and limb to me, don't you agree?

[Chorus: Slug, Aesop Rock]

As long as I know right from wrong

I'll be ok, I'll sing my songs

As long as I know right from wrong

I'll be ok, I'll sing my songs

As long as I know right from wrong

I'll be ok, I'll sing my songs

As long as I know right from wrong

I'll be ok, I'll sing

[Outro: Aesop Rock] *repeat to fade*

If you wanna push

Then I'm ready to push

But if you pulling while I'm pushin'

Then why did you ask me to push?
