[Hook]

Don't take it so serious

Don’t take it so serious

A lot pressure, weighing down

But don't take it so serious

[Verse 1]

Listen I'm livin in a time where I can’t

Always act so serious and take it like a man

Comedy's the remedy to not take it so heavily

Other than my money I just make it sound so funny

I just know, too formal, it's weird, not normal

Might call it professional, but that just seems fake to me though

I know there's a time, I know there's a place

But why act like I'm someone else and put my energy to waste

[Hook]

Don't take it so serious

Don't take it so serious

A lot pressure, weighing down

But don’t take it so serious

[Verse 2]

I don’t take all the happy memories I have for granted

All these fakes are always actin, yeah you know, I just can't stand it

I never forget, the classmates that I played with

I’m tryna get a check, but I don't do that snake shit

Girls be on my line, but I curve em all the time

Not cause I don't like em, but because I'm paralyzed

I know that you miss all the shots that you don’t take

I gotta take it lightly, cause my whole life's on the brakes

[Hook]

Don't take it so serious

Don't take it so serious

A lot pressure, weighing down

But don't take it so serious

[Verse 3]

There are three things that I don't joke about

The first thing is my money, respect the bank account

The next would be my safety, I gotta be careful

Honestly, I just don't want AIDS cause that's a handful

Last but not least, most important to me

I'm not gonna play, with a girl's feelings

That just might sound cheesy, but it's actually not easy

When your going up to college, and these girls are all up on ya

[Hook]

Don't take it so serious

Don't take it so serious

A lot pressure, weighing down

But don't take it so serious

Don't take it so serious

Don't take it so serious

A lot pressure, weighing down

But don't take it so serious

[Verse 4]

Don't fall in the trap, Don't fall in the trap

It's okay to sit back, kick ya feet up and relax

If your working hard enough, you can't work all the time

Take a break and have some patience, trust me you'll be fine

But never get complacent, life is still a race man

Other people want it too, pass you by, they can

This is what it all comes down to now

Bottom line is that you've gotta balance it out

[Hook]

Don't take it so serious

Don't take it so serious

A lot pressure, weighing down

But don't take it so serious

[Verse 5]

Take it lightly, just like snow

Take it lightly, I might go

Might go to do anything that's anywhere at anytime

That is because new experiences are what shape your mind

Take a chance, take it lightly, you'll grow from it, that is likely

I was looking at myself and I saw a big problem

I was serious too often, I felt like I had just fallen

Out of having fun, I was always on the run

Tryna grow a ton, when I only needed some

Well, I said how come, I started to feel dumb

Chilling in my dorm, it all seemed pretty norm

I was with my guys, we were having a good time

That's when I heard girls were coming, and I changed it was so sudden

I would get so quiet, and I'd sit off to the side

Afterwards, I'd ask myself, c'mon man, why

This turned into a pattern, I said what is the matter

Finally, I realized, I was scared of life

I was way too serious, I didn't take it light

Find the fun in everything you do

In the end that is what will drive you through
