Stressed Out

A G C

[Chorus]
A                                 
I really know how it feels to be, 
G
stressed out, stressed out
 C
When you're face to face with your 
adversity
 A                               
I really know how it feels to be, 
  G
stressed out, stressed out
 C
We're gonna make this thing work out
 eventually


[Verse 1: Consequence, (Q-Tip)]
A
Yo I ain't one to complain but 
there's things in the game
G
(What's your name?)

Consequence, I'm tight, burnt like 
flames

(And why's that?)
C
American dreams, they got this 
ghetto kid in a fiend

(Don't stress that cause it's not in
 your bloodstream)
A
(Your whole being, comes from 
greatness, d'you remember)
G
(Shaytan got you caught in the 
storms of December)
C
(And brothers on the block packing 
nines like September)

(Crazy situations keeps pockets on 
slender)
A
Yo I be on the avenue where they be 
actin brand new
G
I'm splurging on these Reebok joints
 for shorty boo
C
All of a sudden, I saw these two 
kids frontin'

Talking out they joints but they 
wasn't saying nuttin'
A
My hand was on my toolie they was 
actin unruly
G
(Say word) Yo word up, yo I was 
tight caught up
C
But I swallowed my pride and let 
that nonsense ride

Because I'm positive it seems that 
negative dies
A
Yo we was at the dice game making 
these cats look silly
G
Flamming, steady running off at the 
Willie
C
I had my cash mixed, my rent due, 
with my play-dough

I gotta see some loot so on my girls
 I blow
A
Shook them shits in my palm let em 
hit the flo'
G
Kept my eyeballs scoping for them 
pigs po-po
C
I got to go on the ave see my parole
 by fo'

But I gotta steady freak these boys 
like JoJo
Continues after the ad
A
And I was doing it, 'til I met Ike, 
Spike, and Mike
G
One roll, they had my pockets 
thirstier than Sprite
C
Yo I know the feeling, when you 
feeling like a villain

You be having good thoughts but the 
evils be revealin'
A
And the stresses of life can take 
you off the right path (no doubt)
G
Jealousy and envy tends to 
infiltrate your staff
C
We gotta hold it down so we can move
 on past

All adversities, so we can get 
through fast, like that


[Chorus]
A                                 
I really know how it feels to be, 
G
stressed out, stressed out
 C
When you're face to face with your 
adversity
 A                               
I really know how it feels to be, 
  G
stressed out, stressed out
 C
We're gonna make this thing work out
 eventually



[Verse 2: Consequence]
A
You got the N.W.O. (low cash flow)
G
Your baby's on the way (and you 
don't know who)
C
And crosstown niggas trying to (bust
 at you)

Aiyyo they got me stressed out (and 
you don't know what to do)
A
So frame this Kodak black, and 
vision to my contact
G
With a poultry scrap, workers get 
pistol smacked
C
The switch-hitting Queens, niggas 
liquid sword spittin

With raw poppy, and now your first 
love is krill
A
Your vision of the mil got crept 
like Hey Lover
G
Tried to rise to the top, you just 
couldn't recover
C
And all I want is my laceration of 
the pie

To get this whipped cream before the
 water runs dry
A
Niggas flash dancing, yo, I don't 
know why
G
You're sick of snitching, she got 
you cruising to the pokey
C
Like Smokey, the stress be trying to
 squeeze out a homey

While I'll be trying to get star 
status like Shinobi
A
So we can build a dynasty, just like
 the Toby's
G
And all I want is the world to know 
my steez
C
These money hungry niggas is seven 
thirty

And got me stressed out like these 
frog emcees


[Chorus]
A                                 
I really know how it feels to be, 
G
stressed out, stressed out
 C
When you're face to face with your 
adversity
 A                               
I really know how it feels to be, 
  G
stressed out, stressed out
 C
We're gonna make this thing work out
 eventually
