Worry Not Lyrics


CHORUS
Worry not, keep your stress in check
Anxiety's a disease, you gotta learn to live with it
Cancer spreads, it'll eat right through
There oughtta be a quarantine for people like you
(x2)
VERSE 1
I keep clenching my jaw while I sleep
I ain't got no dental insurance, so I purchased a mouth piece
It helps me collect all my teeth, coz they keep falling out in my dreams
Repeating each step till I'm knee deep in sweat
Till you need deeper sleep between sheets who need sex
If you need to eat meat then just feed on the flesh
If your will power's weak seekin' ye shall find death
It'll rent, it'll lease, it'll own you
You can't teach new tricks to no old fool
I've been banned from the bible
But I stand on my own two

Runnin' from something my legs have no clue
Burnin' through every last nerve that I got
This condition is more than deserved but I'm not
Killing the time I'm ringin' it's neck
Chokin' it out and I'm stealin' its breath
Sucking it in and then blowing a kiss
To the caution I tossed to the wind like this
CHORUS
Oh you're scared of the dark? then sleep in the light
You came for the bark but then leave when I bite?
Breakin' a sweat,
You faint and awake with a fang in your neck
And a pain in your chest
Losing your power, your drained and your wet
When you threw in the towel I caught it like rent
That was well played - you ain't self made
You went from daycare to preschool from K-12 grade
And that's hardwiring in your brain
Not to mention the rules or the house where you stayed
Synagogue, mosque, or the church where you prayed
As a child, tamed like your wild!
Reprogram - DEPROGRAM
There ain't nothin they say we don't know man
They been preyin' on vulnerable people
And claimin' that everything in us is evil
I see them in hell then - but until then
You should chill friend (Just chill!)
Play pretend with the forces of organized
Superstition and get played in the end
We were killing the time I was ringin' it's neck
Chokin' it out and then stealin' its breath
Sucking it in and then blowing a kiss
To the caution I tossed to the wind like this
CHORUS

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Paul "Sage" Francis (born November 18, 1976 in Miami, Florida) is a hip-hop artist based in Providence, Rhode Island.

Noted for his intense flow and sharp wit, Francis has won acclaim both as a freestyle battler and as an unapologetic, intellectual lyricist. Francis uses a broad emotional palette to address a wide range of personal, cultural, and political issues. His unconventional style and persona have given him crossover appeal, but at the same time alienated some hip-hop listeners.

Prior to embarking on a full-time career as an MC, Francis displayed his skills in slam poetry. During the late 1990s, he recorded his first demo tape (1996), fronted the now defunct Providence hip-hop band Art Official Intelligence, and hosted a weekly slot on independent radio station WRIU (the "True School Session"). He also formed the Non-Prophets and released a 12” (Drop Bass/Bounce/I Keep Calling, Emerge Records, 1999), following up in 2003 with their first full-length offering, Hope. Francis is a contemporary of underground hip-hop artists such as SLuG, Eyedea, Sole and the anticon. collective. He is also loosely affiliated with the vague underground hip-hop super-group The Orphanage.

As a solo performer, Francis won the MC battle at the 2000 Scribble Jam, and in 2001 he came close to repeating as champion (semi-finalist) while performing as his "metal" alter ego, "Xaul Zan". Francis released his first proper solo album, Personal Journals, on Anticon. in 2002. He toured with a live band on the Live Band Dead Poet Tour to support it. Francis subsequently became the first hip-hop artist to sign with punk label Epitaph, agreeing to a three-album deal. His first album for Epitaph, A Healthy Distrust, was released in early 2005 and was followed up with Human the Death Dance in 2007.

One of Francis' best-known tracks is "Makeshift Patriot", a commentary on the American media recorded one month after the September 11, 2001 attacks which he released on the internet as an MP3 as well as a limited edition 7" single.

In February 2005 Sage dropped his second full length album on the originally punk label Epitaph, it was widely regarded as the best underground hip hop album of the year by critics and fans alike and featured heavily political tracks such as "The Buzz Kill" and "Slow Down Gandhi" and more personal material like that more similar to that of his debut 'Personal Journals' such as 'Bridle' and a few heavily satirical comments on the modern day rap and urban scene such as the satirical comment on youth gun culture 'Gunz Yo'.

Sage has helped to set up the Wiki KnowMore.org which is described as a 'way to keep tabs on the some of the biggest and most dangerous businesses in the world'. He is a vegetarian and also chooses to abstain from drugs and drinking, though doesn't label himself as "straight-edge" because he believes "you shouldn't define yourself by what you don't do."

Sage has set up his own label and signed some of who he claims to be his favorite artists of the moment such as Buck 65 and Proplyphic and Reanimator named Strange Famous (which shares his initials) with which he released his most recent work 'Human the Death Dance'

This album was released in May 2007 and takes a step away from the heavily political 'Healthy Distrust' and heads back to the more personal lyrics of 'Personal Journals' and comments on modern culture. The album features cameos from many Strange Famous artists such as Buddy Wakefield, Buck 65 and Reanimator.

In 2010 Sage released his fourth full length album Li(f)e (the title coming from the famous quote from 'The Cure' on the Non-Prophets album Hope "Life is just a lie with an f in it and death is definite"). The album was extremely well received and one particular single off of the album 'The Best Of Times' received extensive air play on the popular British radio station Radio 1. After Sages Li(f)e tour Sage has stated that he will no longer be doing tours but will still be releasing albums and other materials, instead he will be doing select gigs throughout each year.
