Jonathan
Joel Mercado-See Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We've come too far to start-over
Just keep going no stressing

I don't wanna stress but I aim for success
Look at my life been a mess wouldn't guess
Still gotta live it but I aim for success
Keeping faith in the Word and the past in the rear
So I keep on, these girls wanna stare
When my hustle wasn't right they never really cared
Boys wanna holla but I kick it with the same
Pump pump pump pump pump! where my people at
Everybody hold belief look where we level at
Started from the bottom everyday we get to level up
Things that we never had, we ain't even stressing now
Buy my momma a benz with bars I'll be wrecking now
I don't want her stressing, imma get the best things
Starting from the world to the diamond pearl necklace
Murder every rapper that be coming on my checklist
Talk my talk cause I'm feeling kinda reckless
What you goin' say now? I'm the next best thing?
I ain't never sold dreams, I'll be living like a black king
No stressing, all flexing I'll be living on these dreams like a blessing
I'll be gunning for the top like I'm racing
And I ain't never goin' stop, I'm amazing

Moving to the top and I ain't goin' stop
Never giving up and I ain't goin' fall
Moving to the top and I ain't goin' stop
Never giving up and I ain't goin' fall
No stressing, no stressing, no stressing
No Stressing, no stressing, no stressing
No stressing, no stressing

I be looking back at life at things that I never had
Things that I never was, and dreams that I never bought
And bonds like a double O, serve em when you take a loan
Boss boy? You know when I make a call
Living with the pressure, with the dreams I deliver it
They ain't never seen but they think I ain't getting it
So I put in work, in the drama and the hurt
Find the motivation when I'm crafting with the word
No stressing (No Stressing) I get the lesson
Every day we get to struggle for the best things
Give your best, and never rest and never race them
I take it back-back to the basics
I finna say right now 'cause I ace it
And I take my time as I blaze this
Everybody finna talk but it ain't me
I be grinding on the block trying to be MG
I ain't stressing (No stressing) I be flexing
Trying to get that cash as I blaze hits, from the L to the B
I be the emcee, what you looking at G, I be the emcee
Relatively, homie you can't see! I be killing on you cats like EMPs
Seriously, you dead wrong: B.I.G - you dead wrong: B.I.G

Moving to the top and I ain't goin' stop
Never giving up and I ain't goin' fall
Moving to the top and I ain't goin' stop
Never giving up and I ain't goin' fall
No stressing, no stressing, no stressing




No Stressing, no stressing, no stressing
No stressing, no stressing
