Quando Rondo has been everywhere over the past few months, despite being under scrutiny for his connection to the death of King Von. He wasn’t charged or arrested but he has been vocal about the issue, recently stating that King Von “got his self in that situation.” The backlash isn’t enough to take a step back from the game and he’s continued to make sure his fans are receiving a steady stream of content.
Earlier today, the rapper returned with his latest single, “Okay.” Bringing out the bluesy tones, the rapper reflects on gun violence as a product of the paranoia that comes from the street and the use of substances to cope with the hardships. However, the message of the song reflects on maintaining a strong sense of resilience and always bouncing back during the worst times.
[Intro]
(Justin with the dub again)
Okay, yeah, ayy
Quando Rondo, nigga
I’ma keep it real on this one, nigga
Uh, uh-huh (Okay), uh-huh (Okay), uh-huh (Okay), yeah
[Verse 1]
Ayy, I’m almost dead but shit, I’m really close to givin’ up
No need to tell them how I feel ’cause they don’t give a fuck
In this industry, to get some mills, you gotta kill your brother
But I’m way too solid for real to sacrifice my own
Had a talk with [?], she like, “Quan, I thought you kicked the cup?”
Lately, different shit been on my mind, I had to pick it up
No safety on that glizzy with the dick, run down like, “Give it up”
Like maybe if I drown inside a ditch, that’ll make them happier
[Chorus]
Say there lil’ woadie, I would stay up on your grind (Okay)
Make sure you on your Ps and Qs at all times (Okay)
Before you move, make sure you strapped with that iron (Okay)
If you gon’ shoot, gotta be prepared to do time (Okay)
Say there lil’ woadie, I would stay up on your grind (Okay)
Make sure you on your Ps and Qs at all times (Okay)
Before you move, make sure you strapped with that iron (Okay)
If you gon’ shoot, gotta be prepared to do time (Okay, yeah)
[Verse 2]
I’m like two million tears in but still don’t never show it
Made the label a few M’s, but still down at my lowest
My grandma told me, “Don’t you trip ’cause that’s how Jesus wrote it”
So much temptation in my life, I damn near feel like Otis
Live by the gun, die by the knife, Glock on my hip, no holster
Up by the sun, down by the night, I swear the street life bogus
Member of that gang, I ain’t never run, and this is [?]
‘Member I ain’t have change for a hundred, now I got plenty more shit
From the fact I really came from nothing, I gotta stay focused
November 6th, sick to my stomach, I seen three split open
Ever since that day, I keep it on me, protection, no Trojan
This just a message to the streets
[Chorus]
Say there lil’ woadie, I would stay up on your grind (Okay)
Make sure you on your Ps and Qs at all times (Okay)
Before you move, make sure you strapped with that iron (Okay)
If you gon’ shoot, gotta be prepared to do time (Okay)
Say there lil’ woadie, I would stay up on your grind (Okay)
Make sure you on your Ps and Qs at all times (Okay)
Before you move, make sure you strapped with that iron (Okay)
If you gon’ shoot, gotta be prepared to do time (Okay, yeah)
