Stressed Out (feat. Faith Evans) (Raphael Saadiq's Remix)

We're gonna make it, that's for sure

If you're stressed then let it go

We're gonna make it, that's for sure

If you're stressed then let it go

We're gonna make it, that's for sure

If you're stressed then let it go

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

And what's your name?

Consequence, I'm type burnt like flames

And why's that?

American dreams, they got the ghetto kid in a fiend

Don't stress that 'cause it's not in your bloodstream

Your whole being, comes from greatness, do remember

Shatan 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 actin brand new

I'm splurging on these Reebok joints for shorty boo

All of a sudden, I saw these two kids frontin'

Talking out they joints but they wasn't saying nuttin'

My hand was on my toolie, they was actin unruly

(Yo, say word) yo, word up, yo, I was type caught up

But I swallowed my pride and let that nonsense ride

Because the positive it sees that negative die

Yo, we was at the dice game making these cats look silly

Flamming, steady running off at my Willie

I had my cash mixed, my rent due, with my play-dough

I gotta see some loot so on my girls I blow

Shook them shits in my palm, let em hit the flo'

Kept my eyeballs scoping 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 doing it, till 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 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

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

When you're face to face with your adversity

We're gonna make it, that's for sure

If you're stressed then let it go

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

We're gonna make this thing work out eventually

You got the NWO (with low cash flow)

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

And crosstown killas trying to (bust at you)

Ayo they got me stressed out (and you don't know what to do)

Dunn-da-lie, dunn-da-lo, dunn-da-lie, dunn-da-lee

Me no look for trouble but trouble done follow me

All I wanted to be was a illa MC

Ever since me was small as a youth out in Queens

What did you mash on de dancehall (all a me)

Until my best friend caught two in him head (Right, scene)

And ever since that day (ya not hear me?) things been a mess

R.I. p Ghosta Rock, true ting, God bless

So nowadays I go see wifey just to cure me from stress

Lay my head on her breast

Sugar dumpling knows best

Explaining all my problems to her getting things off my chest

A little hook up, squeeze up, and no more am I vexed

Ayo son, without my peeps I'd be truly assed out

Make sure I have my medication so I wouldn't pass out

Native Tongues for believing in me, when everyone was fessing

Most of all Jah Mighty for the guidance and the blessings

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
