"It's O.K."
“
Caught up in bouts with the root of all evil
I've seen it turn beautiful people crude and deceitful
And make them do shit illegal for these Grants and Jacksons
These transactions explain a man's actions
But in the midst of this insanity, I found my Christianity
Through God and there's a wish He granted me
He showed me how to cope with the stress and hope for the best
— Eminem
What It Means
This is a placeholder explanation generated by the low-overhead model. It interprets "Caught up in bouts with the root of all evil
I've seen it turn beautiful people crude and deceitful
And make them do shit illegal for these Grants and Jacksons
These transactions explain a man's actions
But in the midst of this insanity, I found my Christianity
Through God and there's a wish He granted me
He showed me how to cope with the stress and hope for the best" in the context of ""It's O.K."" to mean that wisdom is timeless.
