You've got me stressed out and my heart is beating blue
You've got me stressed out and I had enough of you
I'm strugglin' just to maintain my monthly payments
On top of that they got my brotha on arraignment
It's kinda strange the way the stress of everyday
Creeps up on you like you feel that you just gotta get away
Today, for instance, couldn't make it outta bed
Before my girl got pissy f*ckin' with my head
Which led to arguing and now she's got me runnin'
Late for my job I hit the highway traffic and start gunnin'
I juke and jive and bob and weave just to get through
I'm ragin', shit the light's behind me flashin' blue
"Where's the fire", "What's the problem" "Where you headed"
I said I'm late for work and that your eyes might end up threaded
Just write the ticket, let me be upon my travels
My pressure pot is poundin', I'm starting to unravel
Everyday it ain't the same thing, but somethin' or other that trips me out
That's how I'm livin' when I'm feelin' stressed out
You've got me stressed out and my heart is beating blue
You've got me stressed out and I had enough of you
Damn! I'm walkin' in work late
And to my credit I forget it and set straight
It's time for me to sit down and get at my job
I ain't been here 20 minutes and there's problems in mobs
I get into it, start perusing paper stacks
Prioritize my day, I plan my work and work my act
I'm still reviewing electronical messages
When I realize what a blessin' it'd be
Not to have people messin' with me
But still I get down and go for mine
Peak performin' under pressure when I'm meeting deadlines
I'm sublime and somewhat inclined to give up praise
But reconsider when I figure my raise
I'm underpaid, overworked beginning to feel jerked
Cuz my position will not allow me to flower freely
Everyday it ain't the same thing, but somethin' or other that trips me out
That's how I'm livin' when I'm feelin' stressed out
You've got me stressed out and my heart is beating blue
You've got me stressed out and I had enough of you
I'm strugglin' just to maintain my nightly rituals
On top of that my kickin' it's become habitual
It's kinda strange the way I'm out late everyday
Throwin' back 3 shots of jag
Tryin' to wash my stress away
Last night, for instance, couldn't make it to my ride
Before I started trippin', sippin' on some wine
Which led to stumblin', and for my keys I'm fumblin'
I ran into this girl drunker than me and steady mumblin'
I dip and dive and duck and slide to let her know
I'm headed for the bar, ayo I gots to go
Arrive in minutes start to swallow down my sorrow
Straight livin' for today cuz I ain't thinkin' 'bout tomorrow
Whoever said the greatest things in life are free
Had no idea what it's like to live they life like me
Everyday it ain't the same thing, but somethin' or other that trips me out
That's how I'm livin' when I'm feelin' stressed out
You've got me stressed out and my heart is beating blue
You've got me stressed out and I had enough of you
You've got me stressed out and my heart is beating blue
You've got me stressed out and I had enough of you
