O.k.lately,

I been watchin' people get lost

And lately,

People really don't know what they want

That's cause lately,

People out here lyin' to themselves

So lately,

Society got yo soul on they shelf

(some people need help)

Turn my back on society ,seventeen

Cause they told me that I couldn't

have a dream

And I got it dropped out of college, MTV

And I'm all ova the world on yo screen

Now I'm frontcover like girls on magazines

Now I'm tryna slap runner shut up OG run see

Now I'm on the radio in Seattle

Now I'm out in Belgium,I don't even travel

What happened? Been...

O.k.lately,

I been watchin' people get lost

And lately,

People really don't know what they want

That's cause lately,

People out here lyin' to themselves

So lately society got yo soul on they shelf

(some people need help)

I'm watchin' people give up

Contemplatin' suicide

Tryna tell my people we much smarter when we unify

Tryna move these units

Out here livin' like it's do or die

We be on MTV, often dreams is self belief

Got my confidence

My self esteem is shootin' thru the roof

I'mma stay inside my house,

Lock myself inside my booth

Got my Gena, got my juice

Got my family to balance me

I don't need new rules

I'm a boss, watch the world spin off

O.k.lately,

I been watchin' people get lost

And lately,

People really don't know what they want

That's cause lately,

People out here lyin' to themselves

So lately society got yo soul on they shelf

(some people need help)

O.k.lately,

I been on the block sellin' crazy

This 9 to 5 drop ain't gon' save me

I gotta keep a Glock for my safety

I almost **** around and had a baby

O.k.lately,

I been watchin' people get lost

And lately,

People really don't know what they want

That's cause lately,

People out here lyin' to themselves

So lately society got yo soul on they shelf
