It's Okay [French translation]

[Intro: Proof & Eminem]

Check it out!

Hey, Kyu!

[Hook: Eye-Kyu]

It's a broke day, but everything is okay

I'm up all night, but everything is alright

It's a rough week, and I don't get enough sleep

It's a long year, pretendin' I belong here

It's a broke day, but everything is okay

I'm up all night, but everything is alright

It's a rough week, and I don't get enough sleep

It's a long year, pretendin' I belong here

[Verse 1: Eminem]

One day I plan to be a family man, happily married

I want to grow to be so old that I have to be carried

'Til I'm glad to be buried, and leave this crazy world

And have at least a half a million for my baby girl

It may be early to be plannin' this stuff

'Cause I'm still strugglin' hard to be the man, and it's tough

'Cause man, it's been rough, but still I manage enough

I've been taken advantage of

Damaged and scuffed, my hands have been cuffed

But I don't panic and huff, frantic and puff, or plan to give up

The minute shit hits the fan, it erupts

I'm antein' up, double or nothin'

I've been troubled enough and

I'm sick of strugglin' and sufferin'

See, my destiny's to rest at ease

'Til I'm impressed and pleased

With my progress I won't settle for less than cheese

I'm on a quest to seize all, my own label to call

Way before my baby is able to crawl

I'm too stable to fall, the pressure motivates

To know I hold the weight of boulders on my shoulder blades

I see the golden gates to Heaven on Earth

Where they don't pull a weapon on you

When you're steppin' on turf, Kyu

[Hook: Eye-Kyu]

It's a broke day, but everything is okay

I'm up all night, but everything is alright

It's a rough week, and I don't get enough sleep

It's a long year, pretendin' I belong here

[Verse 2: Eminem]

I'm goin' for broke, gamblin' and playin' for keeps

Every day in the streets, scramblin' and payin' for cheap

Prayin' for sleep, dreamin' with a waterin' mouth

Wishin' for a better life for my daughter and spouse

In this slaughterin' house

Caught up in bouts with the root of all evil

I've seen it turn beautiful people crude and deceitful

And make them do shit illegal for these Grants and Jacksons

These transactions explain a man's actions

But in the midst of this insanity, I found my Christianity

Through God and there's a wish he granted me

He showed me how to cope with the stress

And hope for the best, instead of mope and depressed

Always gropin' a mess of flyin' over the nest

To sellin' dope with the rest

I quit smokin' cess to open my chest

Life is stressful inside this cesspool

Tryin' to wrestle, I almost bust a blood vessel

My little brother's tryin' to learn his mathematics

He's asthmatic, runnin' home from school away from crack addicts

Kids attract static, children with automatics

Takin' target practice on teens for Starter jackets

I'm usin' smarter tactics to overcome this slum

I won't become as dumb as some and succumb to scum

It's cumbersome, I'm tryin' to do well on this Earth

But it's been hell on this Earth since I fell on this Earth

[Hook: Eye-Kyu]

It's a broke day, but everything is okay

I'm up all night, but everything is alright

It's a rough week, and I don't get enough sleep

It's a long year, pretendin' I belong here
