STRESSED OUT ft. Komplex Lyrics

Man I'm Stressed out Had it up to here I'm pulling my hair Told him in mirror yo keep it together

Find the best route pass fears Anxiety trying me with self doubt

Can't listen easier said

Fatigue bothering me on 5 hours of sleep to accomplish a dream Prolly in need of a whole lotta Zzzz

Rest when I'm dead Til then graveyard shifts So family lives without the stress

I don made sacrifices Roman noodle diets hungry for more

Stress level high as gas prices Skip the club life quick, It was making me bored

Been trying to find peace and quiet Need silence combine with guidance To survive this confinement

Come find me writing to hone my skills

Nothin' left but jail death or record deal

I go through all doelie My mind playing tricks on me

The top gets lonely same as the come up Bags under

My eyes feel pressure getting thick

It ain't suppose to be like this!

Feel guilty chillin with at the crib while pursing career Lost friends chasing inns it is what it is

Learn rules to bend Art over content

Since I don't fit in with a trend Even then I'm stress

Cause I don't fit In this oversaturated hiphop population Rappers sayin a whole lot of nathin Repeat what made the last lame famous

Throw that trash in the bag fast Cat in the hat raps

Call em Thing one and Thing two cause He do what he do

She do what she do but We do something new Preview why me you no equal cause

Living a verse

Feeling the heat

Record deal

Realer than ever

Living a verse

Feeling the heat

The stress is real

If overthinking was a sport I'm a first round draft pick

Drinking Hennessy to escape reality quick

The tension goes on and on didn't ya know?

Take me to a place where most people are afraid to go

Driving to the next lifetime who will I meet

After mama's gun leaves my brain on the window seat

Kinda morbid I know but that's where I'm at

Only thing left to do is take a permanent nap

Out of nowhere my inner voice is waking me up

Saying your story's not over I can you that much

In this life it's fight or flight when times get tough

Don't you go missing like the YouTube dislikes

There will be moments when everything seems bland

But you have the sauce to spice it up like Zatarain's

Use stress to your advantage and fly high

Listen to Kweli and go beyond just getting by

Living a verse

Feeling the heat

Record deal

Realer than ever

Living a verse

Feeling the heat

The stress is real
