Stress - Guilty Simpson

Some people relieve stress with violence, police sirens

Or maybe isolated in silence

Or maybe on a tropical island overlookin' the ocean

Maybe in your new car coastin'

Some write lyrics

Some visit the priest to fight spirits

And some don’t quite get it

And go insane

Staring down the neck of a rifle

And squeeze cause they went psycho

Fade to black

Some use drugs and don’t make it back

Like fiends, beggin' for free packs, now he in debt

Some have sex to sweat it out

Some let anger build up and let it out suddenly

Some hit the bars and split cigars

Steal a set of wheels and go and strip your car

Whether you broke, or got a meal ticket

Stress is a motherfucker homie, deal with it

My mind is gone away

You can try to hide but you can’t deny it

I still see it all on your face homeboy, you stressed out

When the stress don’t go away

You can try to hide but you can’t deny it

I still see it all on your face homeboy, you stressed out

To survive nowadays takes a lot of endurance

No pay day, no income, no insurance

This enough to make a man feel hopeless

So every other month another shut off notice, damn

What you mean I can’t reap no dough?

Like my baby girl feet don’t grow

I gotta provide and still puttin' money in bullshit rides

It’s hard livin' when your hands is tied

Behind your back

So I calm my stressed mind with 'gnac

Contemplatin' pushin' dimes of crack, it’s that crucial

I’m sick of prayin' over Ramen Noodles

This ain’t the lifestyle brother tryin' to get used to

Some hit the bars and split cigars

Steal a set of wheels and go and strip your car

Whether you’re broke, or got a meal ticket

Stress is a motherfucker homie, deal with it

My mind is gone away

You can try to hide but you can’t deny it

I still see it all on your face homeboy, you stressed out

When the stress don’t go away

You can try to hide but you can’t deny it

I still see it all on your face homeboy, you stressed out
