A-O-K [Explicit] by Tai Verdes (2024)

Doesn't this guitar sound so good?
Mm, mm, mm
So sweet

Living in this big blue world
With my head up in outer space
I know I'll be A-O, A-O-K
I know I'll be A-O, A-O-K

When I see trouble come my way
I be makin' lemonade
I know I'll be A-O, A-O-K
I know I'll be A-O, A-O-K

Hey little lady, I know you're feelin' crazy
All your other friends are busy makin' them babies
Been out in the real world, don't like how it's tasting
Let me change your mind with my little old saying
Two-four-six-eight, who do we appreciate?
Put some sugar in my water, 'cause we makin' Minute Maid
f*ck to all the hate, do a shimmy-shay
Throw a middle finger up down the inner state

Living in this big blue world (word)
With my head up in outer space (outer space)
I know I'll be A-O, A-O-K (A-O-K)
I know I'll be A-O, A-O-K
When I see trouble come my way (my way)
I be makin' lemonade (lemonade)
I know I'll be A-O, A-O-K
I know I'll be A-O, A-O-K

Na-na-na-na-na-na (A-O, A-O-K)
Na-na-na-na-na-na (A-O, A-O-K)

I be lyin' if I said I knew the way
I just eat sh*t and pretend that it's gourmet
I've had terrible, horrible, no-good, very bad days
But I'm a G, can't you see that I will always be all A-O-K

All A-O-K
I'm gon' be all A-O-K
You gon' be all A-O-K
We gon' be all A-O-K
Sugar, sugar

Living in this big blue world (word)
With my head up in outer space (outer space)
I know I'll be A-O, A-O-K (A-O-K)
I know I'll be A-O, A-O-K
When I see trouble come my way (my way)
I be makin' lemonade (lemonade)
I know I'll be A-O, A-O-K
I know I'll be A-O, A-O-K

Na-na-na-na-na-na (A-O, A-O-K)
Na-na-na-na-na-na (A-O, A-O-K)

In the song A-O-K, Tai Verdes sings about finding happiness in the midst of life's challenges. Verdes begins the song by appreciating the beautiful sound of the guitar before launching into the main message of the song. He acknowledges that the world can be a big and daunting place, but he chooses to keep his head up in outer space and remain optimistic. Verdes repeats the phrase "I know I'll be A-O, A-O-K" throughout the song to emphasize that everything will work out in the end. He explains that when he encounters trouble in life, he makes lemonade out of lemons and remains positive.

In the second verse, Verdes addresses a "little lady" who may be feeling overwhelmed and discouraged by life's challenges. He encourages her to take a different perspective and find joy in the little things. Verdes suggests that putting sugar in your water can make it taste better, even if life is bitter. He also uses a playful rhyme scheme to encourage the listener to brush off negativity and embrace positivity.
