Watsky - Strong As An Oak Lyrics






Everything is A.O.K. (yep)
Because I'm strong as an O.A.K. (an oak)
But money don't grow on trees
And I'm B.R.O.K.E. (broke)

Everything is A.O.K. (yep)
Because I'm strong as an O.A.K. (an oak)
But money don't grow on trees
And I'm B.R.O.K.E. (I'm fuckin broke y'all)

Them rims, them rings, them things
You can bring 'em out.
I just had my debit card declined at IN'N'OUT.
The line is flippin' out, givin me evil eyes.
Fuck the soda,
Rerun it with just the cheesy fries.

Cause' I don't think money is THE devil.
I'm not sinkin' I'm just kickin' it at sea level.
I got my floaties on.
I'm focusing on all the wonderful stuff
With the force of obi wan
Kanobi bro, I'm broke.
Although I won't be woe-be-gone.
Cause' even though my bank account is low or overdrawn, I'm down to mow your lawn.

I'm getting open, I'm soakin up every moment
And so we should make a toast.
We won't be sober 'til the broke of dawn.

Because beer is cheap, and because love is free.
I'm buzzin',
Feelin' like every friend is a cousin g.
And someday we’ll be reminiscent
On some wasn’t we.
Just so down and out.
But we were happy then cause',

Everything is A.O.K. (yep)
Because I'm strong as an O.A.K. (an oak)
But money don't grow on trees
And I'm B.R.O.K.E. (broke)

Everything is A.O.K. (yep)
Because I'm strong as an O.A.K. (an oak)
But money don't grow on trees
And I'm B.R.O.K.E. (I'm hella broke bro)

Why should I sit on my ass on the couch
Be askin' why love isn't equal
With lesser possessions I'm light as a feather
And so I can fly like an eagle
Cause' everyone dies
And I wonder why leaders in power
Would lie to their people.

Be planning like they could be fitting a camel up into the eye of a needle.
But dammit id settle for fitting a
94' Camry inside of my driveway
I'm sick of the image,
I'm livin' my life, and I'm doin' it my way.
I'd rather be makin' the choices I'm proud of
Than chasing the mountain of money.

But if that mountain comes,
To me, I'm climbin' it.

Got a brick and I'm laying it down,
Gotta shovel, now I'm breakin' this ground.
Because I'm in the red
But it's only a color that I will be
Paintin' this town.
Because when I make it,
Then I dedicate it to the friends that stood with,
Who would do me favors.
Even lend me paper, when I couldn't pay for
A little take-out.

And to the fact,
That whatever you think that it means,
I'll be here and be livin' my dreams.
And it's cause of the people I leaned
On when I came apart at the seams.
So give me the moon, and give me the spoon,
I'm lickin' it clean
Until there just ain't nothing left
But who would lend a hand, cause

Everything's A.O.
Everything's A.O.

So when I say dey oh,
Say everything's A.O.

When I say dey oh,
You say everything's A.O.

When I say dey oh,
You say everything's A.O.

Everything is A.O.K. (yep)
Because I'm strong as an O.A.K. (an oak)
But money don't grow on trees
And I'm B.R.O.K.E. (broke)

Everything is A.O.K. (yep)
Because I'm strong as an O.A.K. (an oak)
But money don't grow on trees
And I'm B.R.O.K.E. (I'm extra broke yo)

Everything is A.O.K. (yep)
Because I'm strong as an O.A.K. (an oak)
But money don't grow on trees
And I'm B.R.O.K.E. (broke)

Everything is A.O.K. (yep)
Because I'm strong as an O.A.K. (an oak)
But money don't grow on trees
And I'm B.R.O.K.E. (I'm fuckin' broke y'all)

    Hey George. Just a heads up that I wanted to say thank you for the music. This song means a lot to me and belive it or not, my daughter loves it too, I think she gets it that Daddy isn't rich. I'm down right struggling right now and have been for awhile.
    I'm back studying to get myself out of this hole so hopefully I can live a better life and provide for those around me.

    My little girl calls this the "happy song" because the way I explained it was, it's all about staying positive and making the most of what you've got when you don't have a lot.

    I wish you could have read this back in 2013. That is if your eyes ever glance over this.

    Thank you Watsky.

  34. K.... S....

  37. D.... ....

    Yo George. I need to thank you man. 10 years of me against the world, just trying to get anyone to actually listen, not just hear, to me about the support i needed for pure mental health issues. Well, i was finally heard. Thanks to your messeges, and all the other tunes i listen to (like medicine for the people) i never gave up, even for a few years when i was truly alone. I actually tried to kill myself a few times, and this song reminded me of who i really am in those moments. Thank you.

  38. x.... ....

    The beginning of this sounds like "never get naked in your shower" by Julian Smith.

  39. L.... R....

  45. I.... ....

    Still a gem- I think this was the first song I listened to of his back in high school. Totally underrated message he's spilling here and he does it beautifully. Long live Watsky!

  46. R.... H....

    This right here will never get old.

  47. W.... ....

    This song taught me that life goes on. and on. and on. If you didn't get lucky this time, Keep positive and keep trying!!!

  48. R.... P....

    Another reason to like Watsky: showing the subie crowd some love 👌

  51. T.... ....

    Am i alone here ??? 2019 please thumbs up !

  52. h.... ....

    every shitty day I had working internationally poor as fuck, I cranked this song. I scrubbed toilets, changed sheets, broke my back working, but it was the most fun I've ever had because of the people I met and the shit we got up to being poor dickheads. this song rings truer and truer every time I listen to it.

  53. M.... ....

    As a kid on international student visa. This is my anthem. I worked all spring break 12hours 7 days a week in ocean city. Once I make it I am going to try lsd and shrooma.

  54. C.... W....

    Favorite song ♡

  55. M.... T....

    This is my favorite of all his songs, I miss the city! It encapsulates all of that living in Northern CA. This should be the Northern Californian anthem. I really could have used this song when it came out at the time, my life was hell in California.

  56. E.... P....

    Get a job.

  57. P.... J....

    Get it, George. :)
    This song has been getting me through a divorce, an auto immune disease ( started having seizures in December. Woo.) the government shut down screwed up my insurance, the loss of my Aunt, and two hospitalizations...
    But damn it, if that mountain comes to me, I'm climbin it.
    Everything's aaay ohhh. :)

  73. E.... S....

    This song literally brought me out of the darkest time of my life. I was 27, beyond broke, about to be kicked out on the street with my roomie. I woke up sweating, already dope sick, landlord already calling. My fiance (had been with over 7 years) had passed away about 3 and a half months before that, despite my attempts at cpr on his cold body when I found him, and I'd taken up slammming diesel, popping downers, and drinking hard and acting totally insane in an attempt to 'deal', and my roomie (an old, old friend, first bf but we'd been broken up for 8 years at that point). He picked up the same shit, and we were wrecked. It was summer in the west side of Chicago-- August, but I still thought it was April. Anyways, my roomie, he'd recently discovered Watsky, and had this song on a playlist, and it kept repeating for some reason that morning... the night before had been a long one and between the fevers and seizures and just....trauma... I was close to done, and I knew it. But this song, this song, reminds me of when we were so fucking down and out, in our dirt shit apartment, and even though I was terrified because I didn't have 2 pennies to rub together to get dope-- disregard the mental and physical health crisis and, you know, no food and teetering on homelessness, and while we weren't lovin' it, I kicked him awake. "Dope song. Who is this?" This was back in the summer of 2014, and I gotta say, the songs on Cardboard Castles got me through some very, very dark times for ... shit, til this day. And to this day some of his verses are the sickest and most meaningful I have ever heard them, and can barely repeat them without getting goosebumps. Anyways, thanks to this song for, whatever reason, pulling me back into something called ... now. It's going to be 5 years since my former fiance's death in April, and while I did start dating someone (and love him so dearly) a year and a half ago, I still miss him and always will. But I'm strong, and it's going to be ok... <3

    E.... S....

    thank you for sharing, the power of music is incredible. so glad to hear you are okay now. you are amazing! keep it up and know that this stranger has your back! <3

  74. H.... F....

    2019 and forever...
