A Tribe Called Quest, Consequence, Faith Evans - Stressed Out (Baby Phife Version) lyrics

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
D'you remember, Shaytan 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 (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
Flamming, steady running off at the 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 shit's 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, '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 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
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 niggas 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 nah hear me?) things been a mess
RIP 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 hookup, squeeze up
And no more am I vexed ayo son
Without my peeps I'd be truly assed out
Making 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
