Stressed Out |
| I really know how it feels to be, stressed out, stressed out |
| When you’re face to face with your adversity |
| I really know how it feels to be, stressed out, stressed out |
| We’re gonna make this thing work out eventually |
| Verse One: Consequence, Q-Tip |
| Yo I ain’t one to complain but there’s things in the game |
| (What's your name?) Consequence, I’m tight, burnt like flames |
| (And why’s that?) American dreams, they got this ghetto kid in a fiend |
| Don’t stress that cause it’s not in your bloodstream |
| Your whole being, comes from greatness, d’you remember |
| Shatan got you caught in the storms of December |
| And brothers on the block packin nines like September |
| Crazy situations keeps pockets on slender |
| Yo I be on the avenue where they be actin brand new |
| I’m splurgin on these Reebok joints for shorty boo |
| All of a sudden, I saw these two kids frontin |
| Talkin out they joints but they wasn’t sayin nuttin |
| My hand was on my toolie they was actin unruly |
| (Say word) Yo word up, yo I was tight caught up But I swallowed my pride and let that nonsense ride |
| Because I’m positive it seems that negative dies |
| Yo we was at the dice game makin these cats look silly |
| Flamin, steady runnin off at the Willie |
| I had my cash mixed, my rent due, with my play-dough |
| I gotta see some loot so all my girls I blow |
| Shook them shits in my palm let em hit the flo' |
| Kept my eyeballs scopin for them pigs po-po |
| I got to go on the ave see my parole by fo' |
| But I gotta steady freak these boys like JoJo |
| And I was doin it, til I met Ike, Spike, and Mike |
| One roll, they had my pockets thirstier than Sprite |
| Yo I know the feelin, when you feelin like a villain |
| You be havin good thoughts but the evils be revealin |
| and the stresses of life can take you off the right path (no doubt) |
| Jealousy and envy tends to infiltrate your staff |
| We gotta hold it down so we can move on past |
| all adversities, so we can get through fast, like that |
| Verse Two: Consequence |
| You got the N.W.O. |
| (low cash flow) |
| Your baby’s on the way (and you don’t know who) |
| And crosstown niggaz tryin to (bust at you) |
| Aiyyo they got me stressed out (and you don’t know what to do) |
| So frame this Kodak black, and vision to my contact |
| with a poultry scrap, workers get pistol smacked |
| The switch hittin Queens, niggaz liquid sword spittin |
| with raw poppy, and now your first love is krill |
| Your vision of the mil got crept like Hey Lover |
| Tried to rise to the top, you just couldn’t recover |
| And all I want is my laceration of the pie |
| to get this whip cream before the water runs dry |
| Niggaz flashdancin yo I don’t know why |
| You’re sick of snitchin, she got you cruisin to the pokey |
| like Smokey, the stress be tryin to squeeze out a homey |
| While I be tryin to get star status like Shinobi |
| So we can build a dynasty, just like the Toby’s |
| And all I want, is the world to know my steez |
| These money hungry niggaz is seven thirty |
| And got me stressed out like these frog MC’s |
