Be Ok (feat. will.i.am) Lyrics


I'm take my Lexus to the mall
Get a little black dress just because
Me and my boo just broke it off
I'm a stay fly although he's gone
I don't really care about who he's with
I'm get mine and he'll get his
Even though I was in love with him, I really hope the best for themVery sentimental
And my cryings detrimental,
Tell me what I'm getting into,
I can't lose my mind.
I think its time for me to let go cause my heart can't take it no mo,
You were all I lived for but I leave you behind.I'm a be OK,
I'm a be OK,
I'll survive, I'll be fine, I won't cry, no way
I'm a be OK,
I'm a be OK,
Don't you talk, I'll move on,
Baby walk awayAll I gave to you, I'm so broke and blue

Make believe its cool I'm so over you.I'm a keep my head up hold it high,
Really did my best God knows you try
Even though it hurts I will survive,
I'll wipe my eyes, I'll say it loud
Take a deep breath and count to 10,
Today's a new day I'll start again,
I'm a find myself so deep within,
I'm a survivor I'll winkVery sentimental
And my cryings detrimental,
Tell me what I'm getting into,
I can't lose my mind.
I think its time for me to let go cause my heart can't take it no mo,
You were all I lived for but I leave you behind.I'm a be OK,
I'm a be OK,
I'll survive, I'll be fine, I won't cry no way
I'm a be OK,
I'm a be OK,
Don't you talk, I'll move on
Baby walk awayI gotta rock the mic I'll be right back,
Gotta catch a flight, my Samsonite's packed,
Three months rapping all around the map,
Girl I see you on the internet on Ichat,
Cyberspace is the place to see my lady,
Baby we can instant message on the daily
Half way you could met me out in Asia
Cause ninety days without seeing you is crazy.
We got three days banging up in Shang Hi
Last day I see the water hanging in yo eye
I know my mama told me not to make a lady cry
But that's impossible when all I gotta say is bye
But I'm a, I'm aI'm a be OK,
I'm a be OK,
I'll survive, I'll be fine, I won't cry no way
I'm a be OK,
I'm a be OK,
Don't you talk, I'll move on baby walk awayAll I gave to you, I'm so broke and blue
Make believe its cool I'm so over you.
I'm so broke and blue
Make believe its cool I'm so over you.

Grammy award-winning Chrisette Michele Payne (born c. 1982), known professionally as Chrisette Michele, is an American R&B singer on the Def Jam Recordings record label. She has been featured on such popular hiphop albums as Jay-Z's Kingdom Come and Nas' Hip Hop Is Dead. She sings in a jazz style reminiscent of past singers such as Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald.

Surrounded by music since she was a small child, singer, songwriter and composer Chrisette Michele has been blessed with an old soul and this Long Island bred vocalist has a deep appreciation for the harmonic foundations that includes gospel and jazz. “I did my first solo when I was four years old,” Chrisette remembers.

Currently putting the finishing touches on her soulful debut album, an artistic exploration that fuses Chrisette’s diverse musical interest into a wonderland, the young artist couldn’t be more pleased. “I realize that I’m new to the music world, but I’ve been preparing for this moment for long time.”

Even before signing on the dotted line of her Def Jam contract last year, the multitalented soul sister had toured with more established artists like Kem and India Arie. “India saw me singing at the Village Underground in New York City. She came backstage that first night and graciously offered me a gig as her opening act.”

Working hard in the studio writing songs and recording demos, Chrisette finished an album worth of material before even trying to get signed. “I’ve been creating songs since I was twelve, so I knew I needed the right musical blend in order to stand-out from the many other performers trying to get a deal.”

While not hung-up on genre labels, Chrisette Michele says, “I’m excited about finding my place amongst young composers like Alicia Keys and Jill Scott. My goal from the moment I was signed by Antonio “LA” Reid, Chairman and CEO, Island Def Jam Music Group, was to create a seamless album that mixes soul and pop in a way that will have people coming back to again and again.” Favorite contemporary artists that are in high rotation include, Beyonce, Kanye West and NAS.

Days after giving LA “goose bumps” during the audition, the young singer found herself in a California studio called Brandon’s Way having a creative conversation with Babyface.

Over the course of a few days, the duo recorded seven tracks, four of which will be heard on her upcoming release. “Babyface and I got into a conversation about the love he has for his children,” she says. “So, the first song I penned was called ‘My Joy.’ It’s a song about a child speaking to his or her father, and I think it’s quite special. Observing the artistry that Babyface possesses has hopefully made me a better performer as well.”

Having grown-up in the suburbs of Long Island, Chrisette didn’t spend much time planted in front of the television. “My parents had me in girl scouts, tap class and piano lessons,” Chrisette says. “It wasn’t like I was cut off from the world, but there just wasn’t a lot of media influence in my life during those early years.”

Chrisette Michele has always been true to herself. “I don’t feel as though I was the typical deacon’s kid, because I was taught early on to speak my mind and not be afraid to think,” she says. “To me, that is one of things that helped keep me focused as an artist who is trying to do something different in music.”

A self-described “girly girl” Chrisette says, “I have definite older child syndrome. I helped my mom raise my brothers like they were my own children, but I also had the pleasure of being daddy’s little princess.”

In addition to her own relatives, Chrisette was blessed with an extended family that included the many folks that her mother allowed to room in their house. “If my mother saw a homeless pregnant woman on the street, chances are they would soon be staying with us,” Chrisette laughs. “I learned so much about the world listening to these folk’s stories, and to this day their experiences can be heard in my material.”

Though already a fan of gospel and classical, it wasn’t until Chrisette Michele was seventeen that she also developed a passion for jazz. “When I was still in high school a teacher introduced me to jazz singer Astrud Gilberto, and afterwards my life was all about jazz,” she remembers.

Majoring in music at 5 Towns College in Long Island, Chrisette cites the nurturing sway of her teachers for where she is today. “Although I did have talent, often that is not enough,” she says. “My professors taught me how to be a professional and to be serious about my music. They taught me how to put the music that I dream about at night on paper in the morning.”

With the release of her debut album, Chrisette Michele will soon be sharing those musical dreams with the rest of the world.
