Lighten Up

Uh
Uh, yeah yeah yeah

How's it going, baby?
What's eating you, girl?
Get it off your chest
Take comfort from my words now
I'll save you from a lot of stress
What happened to you? Spit it out
Can I do some to help you ease the pain?
But you know, I'm taking it for granted
that maybe you won't even need my brains
Step back from it, right?
Don't even get stuck with
Lighten up
If the shit is bugging, let's just face up to that
Pluck up the courage to stay strong
so you'll see what drives you up the wall
We all have feet of clay
Go easy
It's like a game of whack-a-mole
To say the least, you are in good company
We put on a brave face
Your smile is what I'm looking for
Keep your nose clean
Play it safe
Remember you gotta take trouble to
clear the air with good grace
But, I'll be happy to support
So get your act together for new days
Enjoy listening to this
But stop dancing to the crook's tune
You can make booboos
Fly high
Your future looks good
So Don't jump the gun
Time is a great healer
You are on the right track
See my trouble is way bigger
But you know? I don't wave the white flag

Hatred is infectiously killing people
My energy ditches envy and jealousy
You need my love
Stay woke

But... Don't take my kindness for weakness
How about some Hennessy?
You've been doing great
Hold my hand
It's a pep talk

Hatred is infectiously killing people
My energy ditches envy and jealousy
You need my love
Stay woke

But... Don't take my kindness for weakness
How about some Hennessy?
You've been doing great
Hold my hand
It's a pep talk

We gotta carry emotional baggage
So, keep that in proportion
It's a fact of life
But wake up
You should stop going through the motions
And in a positive frame of mind, make headway
Play it safe and grind
I see your life take a turn for the better
Leave all the bigots behind
You've been putting effort to raise your game, right?
Make the grade
I think we gotta do our people a world of good
Face the fate
Dignity, wealth, and loyalty...
Let's keep it cool and classic
Love, peace, and autonomy
You know what it takes to grab the brass ring
Haters always gripe about you
But, so what?! It's all sour grapes
Harassment is a sign of weakness
from bad losers in the game
So, don't get too frustrated, baby
It's nothing but earthbound
Convert negativity
Rise up
You'll see you've been on firm ground
Say your piece
Change oppressive rules
But, don't lose sight of the original aim
Embrace objective views
Know-it-alls taking a leap of faith will
end up playing the fool
So, stay loose
It's a piece of cake, coz there is a grain of truth

Coz there is a grain of truth
You know what I'm saying
Keep it up

Hatred is infectiously killing people
My energy ditches envy and jealousy
You need my love
Stay woke

But... Don't take my kindness for weakness
How about some Hennessy?
You've been doing great
Hold my hand
It's a pep talk

Hatred is infectiously killing people
My energy ditches envy and jealousy
You need my love
Stay woke

But... Don't take my kindness for weakness
How about some Hennessy?
You've been doing great
Hold my hand
It's a pep talk
