Verse 1
Pardon me / so rude to not introduce / my name is Lif / I'm raw, and I be gettin' loose / on the M. I. / the "C". is just a sickle I use / to perforate the neck, and pop the head with a noose / beheaded rappers / usually indebted rappers / factors they miscalculated left them all annihilated / I'm over sk**ed and under stated / often under rated / overlooked because the market's over saturated / I'm fascinated with this fabricated / reality / we're living in / so imprisoning / a far cry / from what I was envisioning / they took freedom / and made it limiting / imminent / doom awaits / hardships accumulate / a**uming you relate to this glimpse of human fate / open your eyes / be wise and stay true / vivid with expression when you're representing you
Chorus
Stress levels like you wouldn't believe / yo I need some relief / everybody just breathe / Stress levels like you wouldn't believe / yo I need some relief / so I've gotta just breathe / Stress levels like you wouldn't believe / yo I need some relief / everybody just breathe Stress levels like you wouldn't believe / yo I need some relief / everybody
[Verse 2: Bahamadia]
What's good? / I'm Baham from the West side of Philly / the woman know for globally transmitting / rediculous syllable flipping for the last decade and some change for a living / all about cultivating "A alike" energy and building / borderline backpack / but I still stack cash / I'm an entrepreneur / I don't rap just to rap / don't get me twisted or confused with the average indie artist who be singing the blues / I'm not that / shrewd in fact when it pertains to my business / I have paid my dues / I am in this game to win it / all the false humility I've been witnessing is sickening / it clashes with a broad like me / one of the realest / most qualified to expose what the deal is / call it how I see it in a minute / can't be fearful or timid in a leadership position / aspire to advance / anything other than that is bullsh**tin'
Chorus
Stress levels like you wouldn't believe / yo I need some relief / everybody just breathe / Stress levels like you wouldn't believe / yo I need some relief / so I've gotta just breathe / Stress levels like you wouldn't believe / yo I need some relief / everybody just breathe Stress levels like you wouldn't believe / yo I need some relief / everybody
