Okay...For Now... by Rob Lyrics
[Verse 1: Rob]
What's the deal?
I heard that Rob was ill
Rhymes cold as ice-cream
About the dollar-dollar bills
But for real
I could really do without the currency
Y'all put me on a pedestal
They feeling like they under me
Honestly, what do you people really want from me
I'm not even signed yet
It seems like an eternity
Since I dropped my first tape
Sent my first demos out
Are you gonna join the cool club?
You're either in or out
I guess I'm gonna be the other guy
I was never cool enough
They told me come another time
I told 'em nevermind
I got my own agenda
It's a battlefield
And I won't surrender
Outta Brooklyn
But a nigga living down south
Young Dracula, I'm not the one to Count out
This is me, you already know what I'm 'bout
I'm here to kick it
Something like a roundhouse
[Chorus: Rob]
Can't believe they really tried to shut me down
They won't make a sound when it all comes around
They know they could never hold me down
It's okay for now
It's okay for now
[Verse 2: Rob]
I think I'm better
Than the Lenos and the Kimmels
And the Lettermans
Only 19 a nigga already a veteran
Rapping is a sport
Guess I am a gold medalist
Even if you're paralyzed
I know that you'll be feeling this
Up all night
Never getting any sleep
Then I ball the next day
Every game, MVP
I'm who they wanna see
Never have an empty seat
So don't be surprised when I'm on MTV
Got the haters on lockjaw
Time is money and that shit is gonna cost y'all
Get ya pockets tight
Get ya watches right
You can't see me dog
Rob is outta sight
'Bout to be on tour
Going coast to coast
Music is my drug
I always overdose
You acting like you saw a ghost
Hotter than the devil
I guess you better call the pope
[Chorus: Rob]
Can't believe they really tried to shut me down
They won't make a sound when it all comes around
They know they could never hold me down
It's okay for now
It's okay for now
[Verse 3: Niko Da Don]
They like
"Nik Da Don, keep gunnin'"
In pursuit of a dream
I'm feeling my feet numbin'
Goal line in my vision
But it's feeling like I'm stuck on the 20
Fourth down, "Nik Da Don, is you ready?"
Ain't got a choice
Only one shot to reach
Every goal that I worked for
Fuck all the glamour and glitz
Just tryna create music
That makes sense
Like candles, when lit
Bring the fire
With every line that I spit
Step in my way and feel the raffle and riffs
Straight rhymin'
The child is great
Tryna stop me
It take time
We ain't tryna wait
I'm holdin' my weight
When it's dinner time
Eating these rappers quick
And I'm on a mission
To fit the description
Of being sick and I
Go crazy on tracks
Full attack
Spitting crack
Ain't no stoppin' that
The lord created a black
Little Haitian that really rap
So, how dare you come try to play me?
Can't hold me down
Cause God made me
[Chorus: Rob]
Can't believe they really tried to shut me down
They won't make a sound when it all comes around
They know they could never hold me down
It's okay for now
It's okay for now
What's the deal?
