The Stress

I try to shed a little light, but the darks in the way
I prolly shoulda took a right but that's okay
Imma ride it out, press my luck and see what happen
Imma light it up, burn it down then see what's popping
I'm the type of dude that had it rough, growing up
Bullied by these jokers, Call me Bruce Wayne mayne
I know the 2-faced game, like I was rolling with bane
We just a bunch of hoodlums rolling around celebrating, pop champagne
It's time to party, so get the molly
Say night to mommy
Your uncle Ronnie, and cousin Tommy
They couldn't handle this shit
I know they losing they shit
They prolly call the cops, acting like they dying and shit
It's so pathetic, get a medic
Help these babies get back into theirs cribs
And get their bibs if they make a mess, toss em some Sid
They'll be alright
All they gotta do is make it tonight
The stress is real for the moment, but they'll be alright

You got the stress, the work, the effort
The burden of not knowing if you gonna get the lessor
Did it ever cross your mind to never rush the measure
Just count to 4 and tap your foot you'll prolly do much better
You'll prolly do much better if you listen while you cruise
You burn one in the air like a pilot on the move
You re-evaluate your problems like you thought yourself was doomed
It's easy to get overwhelmed and not know what to do
I try to step back and flash back and go back on all that
The dream life, is all mine, I got time, and I know
That I'm the man with the power that they'd kill to devour
Master plan of this flower got me feeling less sour
It helps consider my options
While I jam out to Hopsin
Keep a level-head and understand exactly what's plotting
There's a bigger picture, larger scheme, happening see
You gotta wake up your mind before it's too late to be

We all got problems, just gotta solve em
It's pretty simple
Stop with all the hooting and hollering, like you gone mental
There's bigger fish to fry in the sea, you know the drill
Don't act like I ain't been around the block, I know the deal
My single mom stayed strong, independently made me who I am
And I ain't about to let her be forgotten in the end
It's honestly comedy thinking you harming me
Imma force to be reckoned ain't nobody stopping me
I'm in harmony, calming the storm before karma can hit
A lotta homies who I thought would be here, ain't shit
Gotta live for one another and take what you get
You never know when you own life will cease to exist
The little things that we think are such a big deal
Seem so minuscule and never even mattered, chill
The stress is real, the way that you feel
You gotta own the situation till da end or your killed, damn
