No Stress

As of late I been reminiscin

Way back when we had the time

Parents talked but we never listened

Knew it all we were masterminds

Every class tryna stay awake

Afternoons when we rode the bus

Finding out that your friend is fake

And the day that you had enough Yuh

Back with the crew they were holding me down

Get on the bikes and we riding around

There was a pack of us tearing it up

We pulling up all over town, Yeah

Shoveling jumps, we sending it high

Finally Friday, spending the night

Eleven PM and we all sneaking out

Everybody get down, it's better to hide

Young rebels, we taking a stand

Good idea, we should play in a band

Make some music, express yourself

Before it was all about chasing the bands

Way Back we were chasin the girls

Back when we all had Faith in the world

Middle school, they try to keep us straight

While Knowing that most would be taking a whirl

Learn shit that we never should of

Gonna find out, it was only time

Learn to fail when we said we could've

Taking risks, we Rollin dice

Thinking back I'm envious of the days I wouldn't listen

Kinda wish I had a mission, Right about now I'm really missing

All the days, that were care free

All the moments we used to have

No one knew what their plans be

But somehow knew we could use a laugh

Life came like a stampede

All of us goin through a test

So far back we can't see

Cause they gone, but I guess I miss no stress

Godamn I miss no stress

Godamn I miss no stress

Godamn I miss no stress

Godamn I miss no

High school with the same story

Thick head kid that would hate to lose

Not good at shit, all the games bore me

But never cared about making moves

Getting jobs we all need a check

Fifteen tryna get a brand new bike

No one told me I could be with the best

And as for the squad, we thinking alike

Fuck everything we just wanna go ride

Butting the heads and you know we collide

Hit up the pool and we all on the slide

They kicking us out while we laugh till we cry ha!

Acting dum like that

Next week weee gonna come right back

You know what I mean man the summer time free

Not a care in the world till the fun go flat... Yuh

We just fucking around

Friends come and go man they up and they down

Some of them, are never coming back

Either by choice, or they stuck in the ground

Not the case, for the rest of us

Keep it pinned while you count your blessings

Every loss that we take is ruff

And the times are tough, all throughout recession

That didn't matter to me tho

Never cared about getting paid

Long as I could go get to race

And not worry bout life, to forget the strain

Your hindsight 20/20 work with a different stare

Way back, no limits there

Afterall of that, I still didn't care through

All the days, that were care free

All the moments we used to have

No one knew what their plans be

But somehow knew we could use a laugh

Life came like a stampede

All of us goin through a test

So far back we can't see

Cause they gone, but I guess I miss no stress

Godamn I miss no stress

Godamn I miss no stress

Godamn I miss no stress

Godamn I miss no

Spending hours gazing back

Here and now I lay these tracks

My power for gaining racks

And how to scour eighty plaques

No time to be chillin

Theres dope rhymes to be killing

But God damn, I wish I could go back

Sometimes to the life I was living

And that's no stress, no bills

Back 'fore I had those flow skills

Had to move up my growth real

Now I travel the world how the globe feel yeah

But I wouldn't trade that for shit I got me in return

Even times I'm getting burned

25 years of live and learn
