A Tribe Called Quest F- Faith Evans Stressed Out Lyrics

Stressed Out Lyrics

Intro/Chorus: Faith Evans 

 

 I really know how it feels to be, stressed out, stressed out 

 When youre face to face with your adversity 

 I really know how it feels to be, stressed out, stressed out 

 Were gonna make this thing work out eventually 

 

 Verse One: Consequence, Q-Tip 

 

 Yo I aint one to complain but theres things in the game 

 (Whats your name?) Consequence, Im tight, burnt like flames 

 (And whys that?) American dreams, they got this ghetto kid in a fiend 

 

 Dont stress that cause its not in your bloodstream 

 Your whole being, comes from greatness, dyou 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 

 Im splurgin on these Reebok joints for shorty boo 

 

 All of a sudden, I saw these two kids frontin 

 Talkin out they joints but they wasnt 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 Im 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 

 

 Chorus 

 

 Verse Two: Consequence 

 

 You got the N.W.O. (low cash flow) 

 Your babys on the way (and you dont know who) 

 And crosstown niggaz tryin to (bust at you) 

 Aiyyo they got me stressed out (and you dont 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 couldnt 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 dont know why 

 Youre 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 Tobys 

 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 MCs 

 

 Chorus
