[Hook: Genesis Renji & Flora]
I'm stressed out
Wondering what's happening
What's next now
Got a couple things I need to figure out
What's left now
They telling me gon vent
Get it off my chest now
Get it off my chest now
Nah, n***a
I'm stressed out
Wondering what's happening
What's next now
Got a couple things I need to figure out
What's left now
They telling me gon vent
Get it off my chest now
Get it off my chest now
[Bridge: Genesis Renji & Flora]
Mama forgive me
Know you don't want me in the city
But I got business
And I got my brothers with me
[Verse 1: Genesis Renji]
At least AK is
I don't really know where Zae is
Probably wherever poetry or his bae is
Where the day went
Remember days when
Me, Qu and Dolo was locked in that basement
Now that Dolo died
I ain't really been the same since
Nothing here really makes sense
Nothing here really changed since
Last I left
And last I checked
My family still doing the sa,e sh**
They on the same blocks
In the same houses
Different buildings
But the same projects
Different jobs
But the same problems
Different hustles
But the same outcomes
And I'm trying to change it
Swear to God I am
Why you think I missed all them family plans
Giving my all to Uncle Sam
And Sallie Mae want the rest of that
That's a fact
Gotta keep ya head down
They pressed for that
Keep the bank low
They check for that
Run a check on that
Hit you with a tax
Let's see you flex on that
Damn near impossible ain't it
Somewhat illogical ain't it
You really think I'm pressing
Over what they be saying, man
f** out my face then
I'm more focused on making sure I'm stacking this paper
So next time that Dre is
Ever locked up
Jaya ain't gotta worry bout waiting
We actually bail him
[Hook: Genesis Renji & Flora]
I'm stressed out
Wondering what's happening
What's next now

Get it off my chest now
Get it off my chest now
Nah, n***a
I'm stressed out
Wondering what's happening
What's next now
Got a couple things I need to figure out
What's left now
They telling me gon vent
Get it off my chest now
Get it off my chest now

Lately
This rap sh** driving me crazy
Some days I don't know if we'll make it
To them I'm like Jay Z
I know I can't say it
Been convincing myself we'll be good
And believing it
But seeing my peers achieving sh**
Is really frustrating as f**
I be watching them
Thinking
Like when's it our season b**h
Little envious
Of all the n***as that's
In positions that let keep them pursue the rap
Trying to figure out how they be doing that
LES with Gerald
He be proving that
If you believe in your dream it'll get you paid
But I been plotting on this since about '08
Rapping in cla**room and computers
Before I even ever had a studio to maneuver
I would sit in front of my notepad in my room
Headphones on until the world's out of tune
Music beating until I run out of tunes
Knowing this is something I could pursue
I could take this feeling straight to the tomb
Naykol asking me what I would do
To live this lifestyle
That I want now
I know that I ain't can't lose but
