No Stress

things, have been looking up I can’t really complain

though I still couldn’t write for weeks I wasnt feeling the same

every time I banged a beat, I would get in daze

overthinking what I wanted to say, can you relate?

I wanted to address all the madness I hear,

how I had my ups & downs, we proper balancing here,

how people love chatting shit till you starting making moves

and go back to chatting shit when they ain’t moving with you

how I skipped out on another, year in my thoughts

but that poetry helps me talk and that’s what therapies for

feeling so alone in a room full of the man dem

how artists always close to quitting, and winning in tandem

all of your support reminds me what I rap for

I try to give it back to you through honesty & platforms

and when another, person buys, a certain size

I’m smiling when I’m sending my merchandise

wonder how they know my tracks and how the grass grow

in the lands I got fans in, Houston to Glasgow

I won’t stop being me in this crazy world

on a daily hip hop is what saves me

makes me imagine my life as I want it

I started doing positive and doubts fully rotted

coz hip hop is that rebel music, tryna change the devil music,

on another level music, this is how we really use it

I’m just tryna do my best

tryna live out my dreams with no stress

some people left, some still in a mess

me, I’m just tryna do my best

I’m just tryna do my best

tryna live out my dreams with no stress

some people left, some still in a mess

me, I’m just tryna to do my best

I picture holding mics all over the planet,

and I can’t shake the want of it like a bad habit

makes me panic, coz my mum didn’t get to see much

I want to return her pretty wings that she gave me with love

so much barriers, yeh they come, and we derail

investing all our time and what if we fail

but this life is in your blood and your empty if you stop

and people asking when your next project will drop

you see I’m writing my bars on tube, man I’m writing my bars on trains,

I’m writing my bars at lunch and writing them on my break

and I’m rapping dem in the shower till I get to record

then I’m spitting them on the stage till I get an applause

this is for the 9 to 5ivers, life survivors,

night shift to the cab drivers

doctors, speakers, artists, teachers

poets, writers, travellers, dreamers

so much stress that can chuck you back

never doubt your success, my cuzzy told me that

I learnt there’s a voice in empowering you

but also moving silent is a powerful tool

true I’m just tryna do my best

and every time I speak out I know it to say it with my chest,

hip hop is that rebel music, tryna change the devil music,

on another level music, this is how we really use it

I’m just tryna do my best

tryna live out my dreams with no stress

some people left, some still in a mess

me, I’m just tryna do my best

I’m just tryna do my best

tryna live out my dreams with no stress

some people left, some still in a mess

me, I’m just tryna to do my best

we only live once and won’t live forever

so how much better is it, if we dream together

no stress no stress
