I close my eyes, pictured for a second
Wasn't long ago that I was second guessing
Had a choice, had to work for better things
Hustled hard, ended up with a degree
Now I open my eyes, and I see all the blessings
My dreams multiply, with every learned lesson
But I gotta be careful, the devil keep testing
Oh I gotta be careful, he know I'm relentless
Ya, ya
No longer tripping
No longer bugging, yeah
Ya, ya
Don't second guess it
Recognize yo blessings, yeah
Lately I'm not feeling crazy
I'm not fucking lazy
I'm not wasting no time
Lately I'm not feeling crazy
I'm not fucking lazy
I'm just taking my time
So I recognize that I got (all the power)
If I bitch or whine, (that don't mean I'm a coward)
Its alright, it's okay there gon be days
When I struggle to, power thru the pain
Born on the westside, so I'm forever high (the westside, so I'm forever high)
I can't even deny, sometimes it's hard to cry
But I gotta (be careful, the devil keep testing)
Oh I gotta (be careful, he know that I'm relentless, yeah)
Ya, ya
No longer tripping
No longer bugging, yeah
Ya, ya
Don't second guess it
Recognize yo blessings, yeah
Lately I'm not feeling crazy
I'm not fucking lazy
I'm not wasting no time
Lately I'm not feeling crazy
I'm not fucking lazy
I'm just taking my time
Lately I'm not feeling crazy
I'm not fucking lazy
I'm not wasting no time
Lately I'm not feeling crazy
I'm not fucking lazy
I'm just taking my time
