I never knew how to hurry, I don’t know how to be quick
Always fighting with the hours and the last one to come in and I’m
Aways in a struggle, the rushed, the settled
Be stressing me out
And I’m always tryna meddle, my pace, my credits
Keeping up with the race, but now
I see where it takes ya, the rushing, it breaks ya
I’m changing my way
It’s been a long time coming
That I see what’s really going (on)
We will keep running (no pause)
I see many cracking, under pressure
Too much stressing, and aggression
So much hating, and depression
This ain’t even, ‘bout a passion
No more, this is some behavior far beyond that point
This’ a way to get insomnia accumulated
And the headache gone be right there waiting, now
As I look and witness, I make it my business, to keep my pace diminished, I’ll
Value ease on my mind over saving my time
(I ain’t gonna stress no more)
I see many tryna find a life that’s satisfying
(I ain’t gonna stress no more)
Thinking the only way is faster living, slowly dying
(It ain’t gonna help at all)
They tryna keep it running, all their lives and multiplying
(See, I ain’t gonna stress no more)
Ain’t no way off the train that they can see, it’s terrifying
Will you slow it down with me
Slow it way down, way down
I might be moving slow motion, I might be doing soul roaming
I might be taking baby steps, while everybody at it, forgetting to rest
But nah, nah, nah, nah, I won’t let me go crazy no more
I choose not to, ‘cause until you say you’re done
The pressure, the pressure is on, the pressure is always, it’s always it’s gonna be there
Up until you make it stop, the pressure is gonna be on, telling you to hurry up

(See, I ain’t gonna stress no more)
Ain’t no way off the train that they can see, it’s terrifying
