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
