J Dilla - Stress lyrics

[Verse One]: 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 d** and don't make it back Like fiends, beggin' for free packs, now he in debt Pimps have s** 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 But if you broke, or got a meal ticket Stress is a motherf**er homie, deal with it [Hook]: 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 won'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 [Verse Two]: 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 doe? Like my baby girl feet don't grow I gotta provide and still puttin' money in bullsh** rides It's hard livin' when your hands is tied Behind your back So I ? I stress mine with gat 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 motherf**er homie, deal with it [Hook]: 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 won'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
