“Low Stress Diet” by Mission Man

From the album "31" likely to be released in the spring of 2009

Family, friends, music and love
Are all that I need because they’re truly enough
I’m on a low stress diet
I won’t guess I’ll try it
I’ll go just buy it
Because oh yes I fit

Chorus:            I’m on a low stress diet
                        Yo just try it X3
                        Yo just try it, yo just try it

It’s curious where my heart is
I’m worriless when I start this
Wordiness in the darkness
There’s no nervousness since I’ve lost stress
I won’t hurry this ‘cause I’ve got less
Weight on my mind and my shoulders
I’ve slowed time and I’m older
But I feel younger than I was at 16
When it seemed
That the sky was a little more gray
Back in those days
Now the air is cooler
Like Ferris Bueller
Every day seems like it’s my day off
I finally found a way to make things stay soft
Instead of being hard constantly
It’s simple smart honesty
To tell you that I’ve cut back on my stress intake
As I make my best mistakes
Oh yes it takes
A certain peace inside
As my shirts increase in size
To not feel hurt when she just spies
And flirts with decent eyes
To work in recent lies
To steal what you’ve earned this week and cries
To mentally manipulate my magnificent benevolence
And display it in high def as wicked malevolence
She tries stripping my innocence
Only to find she no longer knows what it looks like
She threw it away the first time she shook tights
For cash
And she’s made quite a stash
I could be artificial
And get superficial
But I want something special
So I dress up in just real
Clothes when I’m at the bar
Not looking for hoes to make feel like a star
But it’s not my place to judge
I just live my life through love
That’s why
Yo I…

Chorus:

I don’t care if my ex talks
And tells me that sex rocks
I’m hanging out with my homeboys playing the x-box
Because video games don’t give me STDs
Let me please
Your eardrums
As my fears come
To fruition
Only to find they cannot afford the tuition
Required to steal my knowledge
Acquired in real life’s college
With desires to feel lies fall in
To the depths of the abyss they were created in
I feel the breaths from the kiss that was made in sin
My love for truth makes me grin
And I’ll never be paid to win
Because my mission’s
Not about competition
It’s about being me
Being free
And seeing the
Best parts of my life
I’ll step up and grab the mic
I know that it’s a magic night
I reach out to the world and I grab it tight
Make love to my words as I have it right
I tell you it’s pure as I gladly write
I’ll always use my pen if I have to fight
I’ll never resort to fist-a-cuffs
Because my wrist is tough
As I find freedom in expression
And my mind sees some thin impression
Of the truth
I’ve let go of age and gained my youth
I turn the page and it’s plainly proof
That as long as I hang on to my dream it’s reality
As my eyes gleam with no fallacy

Chorus:
Ending:
