Betrayal and Resilience: The Emotional Journey in 'Ok Ok'

Kanye West's song 'Ok Ok,' featuring Lil Yachty and Rooga, delves deep into themes of betrayal, resilience, and self-identity. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of Kanye's experiences with disloyalty and the emotional toll it takes. The opening lines, 'Okay, now they got me, wanna rap again / Heal the wound and then you stab me in my back again,' set the tone for the song, highlighting the recurring theme of being hurt by those close to him. This sense of betrayal is further emphasized with lines like 'You the type to cut the grass and snake your bestest man,' suggesting that even those who seem trustworthy can turn out to be deceitful.

The chorus, 'Okay, okay, I'm not okay / Think they're good, it's not okay,' reflects Kanye's internal struggle and the facade he feels others put up. This repetition underscores the idea that while things may appear fine on the surface, there's a deeper, unresolved pain. The mention of 'angel investor' and 'price went up' hints at Kanye's rise in status and success, but it also suggests that with greater success comes greater scrutiny and betrayal.

Lil Yachty and Rooga's verses add layers to the narrative, with Lil Yachty expressing frustration over false friendships and Rooga emphasizing the importance of loyalty and the pain of being let down. The line 'Everything I do is solely for the broken youth' highlights a sense of purpose and resilience, suggesting that despite the betrayals, there's a drive to uplift and inspire others. The song concludes with a call to find faith and redemption, 'Find God 'fore it's too late,' indicating a search for deeper meaning and healing amidst the chaos.
