They Say Songtext
von Deepspace5

Evil monkeys
Rode the line

I wanna be okay
They say a penny saved is a penny earned
And if you play with fire then you′re gonna get burned

And I'm gonna be okay
They say an apple a day keeps the doctor away
It′ll all give you cancer and kill you anyway
And I'm gonna be okay

They say it's crunk, it′s dope, it′s hot
But nine times out of ten it's not
Man it′s just a plot to get you to bow to their plan
To keep you from touching life with your own hands
They say you're not hip hop if you don′t rock ice


You can spend the money but what's the real price?
If you wear someone′s hat then you're bound to get lice
I guess I don't gamble ′cause I won′t roll the dice
I guess I'm not rippin′ if I don't rip a verse
I guess I′m not livin' if I don′t spit a curse
I guess I'm not diggin' if I don′t move the dirt
I guess I′m not a Christian if I don't go to church
But maybe what they say is really how it works
They got an infrastructure with a big network

They say they got a boss that′s a big head jerk
They told me I should work for that big head jerk, no

I wanna be okay
They say every single cloud has a silver lining
You can close your eyes but the sun won't stop shining

I′m gonna be okay
They say the bigger you are, the harder you thud
Sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes you′re the bug

I'm a jack of all trades but a master of none
I hear time flies when you're having fun
That′s what they say and what you see is what you get
There′s an A-class sucker born every minute
They say it's not where you′re from, it's where you′re at
There's always more than one way to skin that cat
Any friend of yours is a friend of mine


Lord willing and the creek don′t rise
I'ma gon' keep on ′til the sun don′t shine and
Global warming is a part of my rhyming
I'll wear my seatbelt and I won′t eat meat
And I'll wear good shoes to protect my feet
Whatever don′t kill you makes you stronger
Money can't buy love or make your life longer
Don′t put off 'til tomorrow what you can do today
Haste makes waste, at least that's what they say

I wanna be okay
Today′s the first day of the rest of your life
Unless you run with scissors and especially knives
I′m gonna be okay

The lights are always on but there's nobody home
You live in a glass house you shouldn′t throw stones

And I'm gonna be okay

I don′t care what they say, it's probably misquoted
Plagiarized, abridged or rewrote it
They say rock the boat, I say boat in the way
That rocks the boat how they say

Something a hundred different ways
Like crime don′t pay but the lottery's okay
My unborn daughter is the potter's own clay
But they say she isn′t a person in that way
I′m waiting for the day to burn what they say
To the ground, feel the profound back in its place
Spit nouns to the raw sounds up in your face
Lick a taste of the God-found infinite grace

They say words that slay our worth
Yo, I heard it's been said that what they say is cursed
But Yahweh say words that clay the earth
I′ve heard it's been said that what He say is birth

I wanna be okay
They say you can′t have your cake and eat it too
Just don't bite off more than you can chew
And I′m gonna be okay

If they've said it once they've said it a thousand times
The grass is never greener on the other side
I′m gonna be okay
And I′m gonna be alright
I wanna be okay
And I'm gonna be alright
I′m gonna be okay
And I wanna be alright
I'm gonna be okay
And I wanna be okay

You know that they say that you shouldn′t
You hear that they say that you should
I know that they say what they wanna say
And when you listen to it that's not good
