Why are you stressing when you can be straight flexing it
All the things that you have, need more but working with it
While ya thinking bout' it, you can be working on it
Never seen work that is done without doing it
Used to be stressed until I took another route to see my way out
I'm not worried about the way it's gonna turn out
I'm gon' keep on pushing till my mind give out
Slow lane riding, that's behind the crash
Stay ahead of the class that keeps on moving so fast
Tryna keep giving the gas while they're reliving the past
Once upon a time, making them sad might I add
It's sad, it's mapped to trap
Used to be a trap cause all I thought about is how to fill the gap
Not even knowing God had already worked it out
Kept speaking negativity right out my mouth without a doubt and I know
Stress is being paid and you're paying
Everything that you're saying that you should be obeying
Gotcha mind portraying as the mind that's playing
Keep saying that you're stressing cause of all the mess you're in
What about the blessings within
Why are you stressing when you can be straight flexing it
All the things that you have, need more but working with it
While ya thinking bout' it, you can be working on it
Never seen work that is done without doing it
Blessings within, still got a ring
Didn't have to fight for it
Still did ya thing
Stress'n and things, looking as what it seems
Pulled by the strings that bring down the self-esteem
But you never know how it may go, so ya betta pick ya feet up and head out the doe'
Cause you'll never get to pro, staying so low
Stress'n bout how it's gonna go
Moving so slow, knowing that cha know (that cha know)
Gotta getcha feet up off the ground
Gotta turn the frown around
Let the crown make the sound
Dress the stress as the clown
Don't even gown around
We don't want the stress to think it's time to get down
Have to pick yourself up to avoid all the pounds
The pounds that keeps you hidden
You don't wanna come around
Come on baby, yeah we gotta do better
Cause we gon' make it through the rainy, stormy weather
Why are you stressing when you can be straight flexing it
All the things that you have, need more but working with it
While ya thinking bout' it, you can be working on it
Never seen work that is done without doing it
You say that stress is caused by others, blame everybody
You really think that it's not at all you but I'm sorry
It's caused by letting your emotions have a party
Doing what they wanna do (doing what they wanna do) like they've been on Bacardi
Life is what you make it
But you can't always make it exactly how you want it, so you may as well not fake it
It only means to take it cause it's not gonna be given
You shouldn't stress
You should be chill'n like a villain
In reality you're facing hard dealings
In actuality your mind is straight chill'n
Can't make a change until you're made up as the change
That stress is gonna ruin thangs, ruin ya name
Change the game so you won't feel it's in vain
Rid the shame to aim and you won't be the same
You know you know what's best
Don't change ya mind for less
So rest ya mind and pass the test cause you are blessed
You know you could have less
You'll have a bigger mess
Unwrap your mind from flesh
And spiritually invest
Cause it's a war with flesh
So treat it as a pest
Everything's a test, so rest your mind and be at ya best
Why are you stressing when you can be straight flexing it
All the things that you have, need more but working with it
While ya thinking bout' it, you can be working on it
Never seen work that is done without doing it
