Don’t Worry Be Happy Lyrics

[Intro]
Troy Taylor, you da goat!

[Verse 1: Lil Duval]
Here's a song Bobby Ferrin wrote
You might wanna sing it note for note
Don't worry, be happy
It's 2020 and we having trouble
But when you sit and worry you make it double
Don't worry, be happy
Don't worry, be happy now

[Chorus: Lil Duval & T.I.]
Don't worry, be happy
Don't worry, be happy now
Don't worry, be happy (Yeah, I mean, it could always be worse, you know what I mean?
I mean, you worried about having no shoes when there people out here who ain't got no legs)

Don't worry, be happy now

[Verse 2: T.I.]
You should appreciate life
It could be over tonight
Ain't nothing going the way that you want
If you go with it, it gon' be alright
No stress and no pressure (uh uh)
Know that progression come after the pain (it do)
Stay solid whatever you go through
Just know every storm gon' run out of rain
Fix it or fuck it, no time to complain
There plenty folk out here who going through thangs
Worse than you so keep your head up about it
Been through so much that we made it up out it
This ain't gon' break me (no!), this just gon' make me
Bounce back again, look at God, he the greatest
Appreciate every day, living amazing for real, yeah
[Verse 3: Lil Duval]
Got no money and got no job (yeah)
Stores got burnt down by whole damn mobs
Don't worry, be happy (Black lives matter)
Don't worry, be happy
Don't worry, be happy now
Stuck inside, nowhere to go
You might be locked down but still go vote
Don't worry, be happy (Y'all see what's happening, right?)
Don't worry, be happy (Stay woke)
Don't worry, be happy now

[Outro: Lil Duval]
The moral of the song is, stop worrying! There's nothing to worry!
What's the worst gon' happen, you die? That's gon' happen anyway!
Don't worry, be happy now!
Tomorrow's never promised, so make sure you get entangled as much as you can! Be happy!
This is Lil Duval, and always remember: we in this together
But stay the fuck away from me!

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
