Don’t Stress

[Josiah Williams - Intro:]
Yeah!
(Don't give up now, no, don't give up now)
Shoutout to DeLon
Keep your head up
This one's for you

[Klassik - Chorus:]
Getting up can be the hardest thing
When you've been knocked down
Trying to do the honest thing
Knowing you're a queen, you're a king
Not crowned

But don't stress, don't stress
Don't let it get you down
Don't stress, don't stress
Don't let up now

[Josiah Williams - Verse 1:]
Rockin' that "Church Clothes" in my church clothes
I live what I take in
Reppin' that new nation, like Dewayne Franklin
I love it
Workin' for the next day
Gotta watch my next move
And I'm giving my best praise
It's all because I love Him

Glory to the Father, cause my dad's King
I ain't got the belt, but I'm reaching for that brass ring
I thank God that He's not like Vince
And wanted me when I was not like this
Now I love it when I give it away
When I don't take credit
When I try to pay otherwise, and they don't take debit
When I wake up, and I'm still here
Inhale, still breathe
Right foot, I still walk
Both eyes, I still see -- (got it)

I've gotta be so thankful
You gave me this blessed life
Honestly, I'm thankful
I know I ain't worthy
So, modestly, I'm grateful
You are my reserve, so I'll always have a tank full
Start it up!
I accelerate --- towards the better days
Towards your promise, and I let that music resonate

See, I was dirt low, I held tight, but then let go
I take flight for the Son now
Guard me like Eric Bledsoe

My enemies wanna kill and destroy
But You turn it all around, so I count it all joy
I've got a reason to love, and You're the one I come to
Cause You gon' shut it down when that garbage comes thru
Let it ride

[Klassik - Chorus:]
Getting up can be the hardest thing
When you've been knocked down
Trying to do the honest thing
Knowing you're a queen, you're a king
Not crowned

But don't stress, don't stress
Don't let it get you down
Don't stress, don't stress
Don't let up now

[Josiah Williams - Verse 2:]
I'm rockin' that "Anomaly" feelin like an anomaly
Thinkin' bout my past ways, tryna get 'em outta me
Praying for my sanity and hoping things are gon' change
I avoid the cold world by listening to Coltrane
Just for the Love

I just let go, and I let Him develop me
I trust Him when I'm stuck and feeling unsettling
Take me to what I've never seen
Do it on Your time
Cause I believe that I'm Yours, and I know You would cosign

I've got love and I want it not for the moment
It's open enrollment, I'm guarded from all of my opponents
And I'm coming to you constantly, open door policy
And they gon' see Your name
When they lookin' at my biography

I remember I used to rage like blown tires
But You told me
"that's not what I have planned for Josiah"
You've got me locked down like I needed
And I encourage others 'cause I know I believe it

I've been thinkin' 'bout a couple years out
And what it's gon' be like
Like growing up to Mineo and lookin back on C-Lite
This rap stuff ain't easy, kinda took me for a twirl
Never thought about the young boys and girls

I used to tell the world
"I be goin crazy with the words!"
"I be goin crazy with the words!"

But now I tell the world
"I be goin crazy with the words!
Cause I've been goin crazy in the Word."

Let that music ride out

[Klassik - Chorus:]
Getting up can be the hardest thing
When you've been knocked down
Trying to do the honest thing
Knowing you're a queen, you're a king
Not crowned

But don't stress, don't stress
Don't let it get you down
Don't stress, don't stress
Don't let up now

Don't let up now
