PaigeStarMusic - TIDAL WAVE

{chorus 1}
It's never okay to just be okay
Cuz this life has pressure like a tidal wave
You're irreplaceable
It hurts, i know
But please have hope
I don't wanna hear say you're alone
Tidal waves crash, you're safe at home

{verse 1}
It's never okay to just be okay
You deserve to be great. you need to have strength
Cuz the problem is, weather you feel like you can or not
You need to help yourself
The world is not gonna stop to help you and that's sad
But until i change it
Heaven and hell will still be stuck adjacent
With earth inbetween. i'm not even religous
But you could blink and miss the "good times"
If you wait on them

{verse 2}
Cherish the moments in this one life
Keep it real, be honest
Selfishness is refusing to help if you don't profit
Cuz i make this music to be dragged, hated and kicked
But i know it helps someone somewhere so i don't quit

{verse 3}
This music is supposed to bring help if you need it
To know i'm walking through
The same hell you keep a secret
And that if you've lost it all
That shit wasn't worth keeping
I brought a lamp to find the light
Balanced between angels and demons

{verse 4}
And i mean it
That's why i reach out and talk to all my fans
And answer dm's
I appreciate the people who see me for me and
Don't ask me to change
Don't change with the seasons
They're in this car until i run outta gas or crash and burn

{chorus 2}
It's never okay to just be okay
Cuz this life has pressure like a tidal wave
You're irreplaceable
It hurts, i know
You're lost and found
I'll help you get up off the ground
Tidal waves crash, but i won't let you drown

{post-chorus}
It's okay to struggle and need a second alone
I'm just tryna reach out and give you hope
It's okay when you've been thrown down
To cry out for help
But don't rely on people who watched it happen
To be that help

{verse 5}
If someone wants to walk out
Shake their hand and wish them well
When they decide it's time to go, they meant that
And they're on their own
Losing people is hard to do
It leaves a lot of questions unanswered
It takes time to heal and process
There's not really an answer

{verse 6}
You might avoid some things
To save yourself embarrassment
But if you have a dream, why let that stop you?
Go after it
Failure is the way you learn
Mistakes mean you're on the right path
What's stopping you? get back up. try again

{verse 7}
If doing it for me is not enough, do it for yourself
Prove some people wrong
Get that promotion
You don't need their help
Slipping and falling and getting back up
Eventually you'll figure it out
But there's nothing i can say, no solution
You'll find that comfort yourself

{verse 8}
Giving up is easy
That's not how we do stuff here
Remember as a kid, you thought you'd live 100 years?
Well you're gonna get damn near close
If i have something to do with it
Clocking out is not okay, you're here. you're here to stay

{chorus 3}
It's never okay to just be okay
Cuz this live has pressure like a tidal wave
You're irreplaceable
I know, it hurts
But here's your sign
Tidal waves are rough, but i know you can fight

{verse 9}
Last verse, last try
Listen to these words please
Fans reach out every day. they beg and pleed like
Please make it better, let me talk, please help
I don't know all the answers i just rap and try to help
Someone
And to think my music has saved lives
And save many more. it could save one tonight
Or put a smile on a face. a tear, a laugh. anything
It's a crazy goal but i wanna make people feel okay

{bridge}
I'm just a rapper
I'm a kid who writes songs a lot
People telling me i'm awesome
I'm thankful for what i've got
On the days it gets hard
And i wanna give up this job
I remember people depend on me
I ain't leaving 'till my heart stops

{verse 10}
I hope that i can help someone
That's all i wanna do
I know that i'm gonna get hate
But i know that i'll get love too
I try to practice what i preach
For real i get it. life is hard
I just wanna give you hope
You don't need a new life for a fresh start

{chorus 4}
It's never okay to just be okay
You're gonna make it out this place
Everybody's almost drowned
When they let the tidal wave roll

{outro}
Tidal wave roll
Tidal wave roll
