I’m Too Blessed to Be Stressed

By John Jones Jr.

Am I a product of my environment? No!
I'm different from the rest.
These people feed on negativity.
I'm too blessed to be stressed!

I see the devil makin' moves,
he's putting my faith to the test.
He wants me to hate my brother.
I'm too blessed to be stressed!

Drama is all around me.
It moves from one person to the next.
Everybody loves to whisper.
I'm too blessed to be stressed!

When you see me with a Bible
and a crucifix on my chest,
and you ask me how I'm doing,
I'm too blessed to be stressed!
