Stressed
Young Thug with J. Cole & T‐Shyne Lyrics

Got me stressed (oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa)
I'm feeling extremely anxious and overwhelmed

I don't wanna rest (oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa)
I can't relax or take a break from my problems

Smokin' cigarettes (oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa)
I'm using smoking as a coping mechanism for my stress

Get it off my chest (oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa)
I need to express my worries and relieve some of my tension

I don't wanna stress (whoa)
I don't want to feel overwhelmed and anxious

But I can't help it thinkin' if I lose the rest (oh, whoa)
I can't help but worry that if I don't push myself, I'll fall behind

And I can't help it, I don't wanna stress (oh, whoa)
Even though I want to avoid stress, I can't control my feelings

But I can't help it, yeah (oh, oh)
I'm unable to change the way I feel

No, no, no
I emphatically don't want to deal with any more stress

Rocky Balboa, I'm boxin' with ya, yeah (whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa)
I'm fighting a difficult challenge just like Rocky did in the movies

I don't know if I wanna sock it to ya, hey (whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa)
I'm uncertain if I want to fight this challenge head-on or avoid it

I told her buy Huaraches for me (whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa)
I asked a woman to buy me a pair of shoes

Skeletons out the closet for me, hey (whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa)
I'm revealing my past secrets and mistakes to someone

I don't know if I wanna expose this to you (oh, you)
I'm unsure if I want to share this information with you

I don't know if I wanna caress you (oh, oh)
I'm unsure if I want to be physically or emotionally intimate with you

I don't know what I wanna do with you, girl (oh, whoa)
I'm uncertain about my feelings and intentions toward this woman

It's that gat totin', pistol holdin' nigga on your damn street
I'm a dangerous person in possession of weapons

Pussy nigga usually pop a trigger if the hand speak
Cowards use guns to solve their problems

Lackluster, I'ma smack suckers this year
I'm going to be more assertive and aggressive this year

I'ma make a hundred thousand racks off of this here
I'm going to earn a lot of money from this endeavor

Do the math, hunnid million for the slow ones in the class
This is an easy and obvious way to make a lot of money

Type of bags I be gettin' be too big to pay in cash
I earn so much money that I can't carry it all in paper cash

Send the wire, send it fast, 'fore I might just change my mind
Send me the money transfer quickly or I may change my decision

Nowadays a million dollars barely worth a nigga time
Making only a million dollars is not worth my time and effort

I ain't sayin' I'm the richest nigga that's in this shit (but I'm one of them)
I'm acknowledging that I'm wealthy, but not the wealthiest person in my field

Barely check my account, nigga, I'm admittin' it (I don't give a fuck)
I rarely check my bank account and I don't care about my finances

Fuck around with my bread, bet you I'ma find out (I'ma catch you, nigga)
If you mess with my money, I'll find out and retaliate

Couple niggas I deaded, know what I'm talkin' about
I've killed a few people and I'm willing to do it again

Nigga, don't play with me, I got a wife, I got a baby to feed
Don't mess with me because I have a family to support

I got a mama to spoil, I got a brother, got a few legal fees
I have other financial obligations to attend to

I got a daddy and shit, medical bills, credit to fix
I also have expenses related to my father and personal financial issues

People to pay, label to run
I have many people to support and oversee in my business

You play with your life if you play with my funds, nigga
If you mess with my money, you are putting your life on the line

Old sweats, road, jets, tote TECs, no flex
I wear old clothes and travel a lot, sometimes with weapons

Bad bitches, no let's, on deck, broke, next
I have many attractive women around me, but I'm not interested in them

Pill popper, square niggas bare witness (oh)
I use drugs and people who are not part of my lifestyle are watching

Blunt twisters, fuck niggas (oh, got me stressed, oh)
I smoke marijuana and am frustrated with people who act stupid

I've been stressin' 'cause I still ain't buy my dad a house (stressin')
I'm anxious because I haven't fulfilled my promise to purchase a home for my father

I've been stressin' 'cause my girl said, "We can't work it out" (got me stressed)
I'm upset and worried because my girlfriend has given up on our relationship

I know some people that start sinnin' soon as church get out (church get out)
I know people who behave badly and sin as soon as they leave church

And I don't think like I used to think, 'cause I'm older now (older now)
As I've grown older, my thoughts, opinions, and beliefs have changed

When you broke, you doin' more for less (yeah)
When you're poor, you're doing more work for less money

You ain't findin' no success (no success)
Financial success is difficult to achieve when you're poor

Sad to say my girl just left, and I really love her to death (I do)
It's unfortunate that my girlfriend has just ended our relationship, even though I still love her deeply

Told her I can't call her my ex
I'm still considering her as my girlfriend, not my ex

'Cause I feel like we ain't finished yet (we not done)
I think there's potential for our relationship to continue

I just text her phone and I said, "Are you out your feelings yet?"
I've messaged her and asked if she's willing to reconcile

And my brother, he just called, he need that lawyer money (that lawyer money)
My brother requires financial assistance to pay for a lawyer

They said he did it, but I know he didn't (nah)
Although my brother is accused of a crime, I believe he's innocent

But you need O.J. money when you tryna get acquitted (yeah)
You need a lot of money to hire a good lawyer and get acquitted like O.J. Simpson

This shit is sickenin', nobody listen when you in prison (prison)
The justice system is flawed, and people ignore those who are incarcerated

I was hangin' on the corner, with some Jordan's on, no designer (no designer)
I was standing on the street corner, wearing Air Jordan sneakers but not any expensive clothing

Servin' up that white girl, back then we called her "Fine China" (yeah)
I used to sell cocaine, which was nicknamed 'fine china' at the time

I was lookin' for a bad bitch
I was searching for an attractive and desirable woman

But I didn't know where to find her (where to find her)
I was unsure of where to find the kind of woman I was seeking

All this pressure and this stress made me a diamond (diamond)
Despite the difficulties and challenges, I've become strong and resilient like a diamond

I'm just tryna show love, some people never grow up
I'm attempting to spread love and positivity, but some individuals refuse to mature

Sometimes I wish I could trust, but that's how feelings get crushed
I yearn to trust others, but trust often leads to disappointment and heartbreak

I used to ride on the train, I used to ride on the bus
I used to rely on public transportation to get around

They wanna hang with the gang, but no, they not one of us
People desire to be part of our group, but they don't meet the requirements or have the right attitude
