Elijah Jamal - I'm NOT Okay

Today I'm not okay
Another mother whose child is gone
Now she'll never see them graduate
I'm worn down from this hate
God if you're listening
I could really use your help today

Now normally I'd say I'm fine
And just put on a smile
But I'm in so much pain
I'm looking for the sun to shine
But in these cloudy skies
All I see is rain

I'm not okay, I'm not alright
If I had a tear for every senseless loss
I wouldn't stop crying
No, Today I'm not okay
I'm not okay, I'm not alright
When is enough, enough
For them to care about our lives
No, Today I'm not okay

Today I'm not alright
I wonder would he still have the dream
If Martin Luther King was alive
They shot down another light
Another family is fatherless
Just because of what he looked like

Now normally I'd say I'm fine
And just put on a smile
But I'm in so much pain
I'm looking for the sun to shine
But in these cloudy skies
All I see is rain

I'm not okay, I'm not alright
If I had a tear for every senseless loss
I wouldn't stop crying
No, Today I'm not okay
I'm not okay, I'm not alright
When is enough, enough
For them to care about our lives
No, Today I'm not okay

Today I'm not okay
I woke up this morning with the same problems from yesterday
