Stressed Out (feat. Faith Evans) [LP Version]

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

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

Do you remember?

Takes long, got you caught in the storms of December

And brothers on the block packing nines like September

Crazy situations keeps pockets on slender

Yo, I be on the avenue where they be acting brand new

I'm splurging on these Reebok joints for shorty boo

All of a sudden I saw these two kids fronting

Talking out they joints but they wasn't saying nothing

My hand was on my tooly

They was acting 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 making these cats look silly

Flaming steady running 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 floor

Kept my eyeballs scoping for them pigs po-po

I got to go on the ave see my parole by four

But I gotta steady freak these boys like Jo-Jo

And I was doing it 'til I met Ike, Spike and Mike

One roll, they had my pockets thirstier than Sprite

Yo, I know the feeling when you feeling like a villain

You be having good thoughts but the evils be revealing

And the stresses of life can take you off the right path

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

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

You got the N W O

Low cash flow

Your baby's on the way and you don't know who

And crosstown **** trying to bust at you

Hey oh, 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 hitting Queens

**** liquid sword spitting

With raw poppy and now your first love is krill

Your vision of the mils got corrupt 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

**** flash dancing, yo I don't know why

You're sick of snitching

She got you cruising to the pokey like smokey

The stress be trying three second hold me

While I be trying to get star status like Shin-obi

So we can build a dynasty just like the Colby

And all I want is the world to know my steam

These money hungry **** is seven-thirty

And got me stressed out like these frog MCs

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

Don't worry, we gonna make it

Don't worry, we gonna make it

Don't worry, we gonna make it

We gonna make it

Don't worry, we gonna make it

I know we gonna make it

Don't worry, we gonna make it

We gonna make it

Don't worry, we gonna make it

Don't worry, we gonna make it

Don't worry, we gonna make it

We gonna make it

Don't worry, we gonna make it

I know we gonna make it

Come on, baby, we gonna make it

We gonna make it

Don't worry, we gonna make it

We gonna make it

We gonna make it

I know we gonna make it

We gonna make it

Gonna make it

We gonna make it

I know we gonna make it

We gonna make it
