The pressure, dealin' with the peer pressure(You gotta find a way to deal with) |
|
The pressure, dealin' with the peer pressure(You gotta find a way to deal with) |
|
The pressure, dealin' with the peer pressure(You gotta find a way to deal with) |
|
The pressure, dealin' with the peer pressure(You gotta find a way to deal with) |
|
As a young black teen, everyday |
|
I dealWith the pressure and mixed up is how |
|
I feelI walk the streets with a fuck you attitude |
|
And when it comes to my peoples you ain't half as rude |
|
Follow the crowd or be a leader, take your pick |
|
Now I'm smokin' |
|
Buddha Philly blunt style |
|
A frustrated and confused young juvenile |
|
King of the project blues so |
|
I chooseTo take a piece of the action |
|
But my sober state of mind won't let it happen |
|
So twenty-four-seven it's the number one stresser |
|
Dealin' with the peer pressure |
|
The pressure, dealin' with the peer pressure(You gotta find a way to deal with) |
|
The pressure, dealin' with the peer pressure(You gotta find a way to deal with) |
|
The pressure, dealin' with the peer pressure(You gotta find a way to deal with) |
|
The pressure, dealin' with the peer pressure(You gotta find a way to deal with) |
|
Most don't understand how it is |
|
In the world of today growin' up as a young black teen |
|
I used to dream, of bein' a architect |
|
Easier said than done, believe me it's hard to get |
|
Out of the projects, without forgettin' where you came from |
|
My parents told me from day one |
|
Finish school and avoid all obstacles |
|
But my environment, makes it so impossible |
|
For instance, build a strong social life |
|
Without messing up still trying to live right |
|
Like in junior high, |
|
I used to wonder why |
|
Certain females went out with certain guys |
|
Then one day, it all dawned on me yo |
|
You gotta be down, and have it goin' on see |
|
I wasn't down with the mainstream or |
|
Should I say their team, now |
|
I'm gettin' steamed |
|
Gotta find a way, to get accepted by my peers |
|
So now I'm sippin' on beers |
|
Buyin' new gear, nothin' but the best |
|
Forget Levi's strictly |
|
Polo and Guess |
|
But how would |
|
I make the cash? |
|
It gotta be easy and it gotta be fast |
|
Thinkin' to myself does that make me lesser |
|
Just, dealin' with the peer pressure |
|
The pressure, dealin' with the peer pressure(You gotta find a way to deal with) |
|
The pressure, dealin' with the peer pressure(You gotta find a way to deal with) |
|
The pressure, dealin' with the peer pressure(You gotta find a way to deal with) |
|
The pressure, dealin' with the peer pressure(You gotta find a way to deal with) |
|
The pressure, dealin' with the peer pressure(You gotta find a way to deal with) |
|
The pressure, dealin' with the peer pressure(You gotta find a way to deal with) |
|
The pressure, dealin' with the peer pressure(You gotta find a way to deal with) |
|
The pressure, dealin' with the peer pressure(You gotta find a way to deal with) |
|
Around my way there's a kid that most don't understand |
|
How he lives, |
|
Is it negative or positive? |
|
He has a grade |
|
A averageBut when he's on the streets, with his friends, he's a savage |
|
A freshman of high school, daily attendant |
|
He never got in trouble never did he get suspended |
|
Good little |
|
Kenny who would believe |
|
He dropped out of school to start to smoke weed |
|
I saw the signs but |
|
I didn't pay attention |
|
Because he got offended every time that |
|
I would mention |
|
The drinkin', the smokin', the low school grades |
|
And sleepin' in class laid back with his black shades |
|
Nowadays you catch |
|
Kenny hangin' in the hallways |
|
With his crew findin' more ways |
|
To break out of school, and hit the block and get buck wild |
|
Stay out of the way of a mad child' |
|
Cause he's a product of, hell |
|
Kenny never fell but he's gonna fall overall |
|
So let's take a trip to the ghetto |
|
Where Kenny got drunk and bought a burner off his man |
|
So he pulled the trigger and the suicide note read"I'm glad it's finally over and I'm finally dead" |
|
And no more, do |
|
I have to feel, lesser, or |
|
Deal with the peer pressure |
|
The pressure, dealin' with the peer pressure(You gotta find a way to deal with) |
|
The pressure, dealin' with the peer pressure(You gotta find a way to deal with) |
|
The pressure, dealin' with the peer pressure(You gotta find a way to deal with) |
|
The pressure, dealin' with the peer pressure(You gotta find a way to deal with) |
|
The pressure, dealin' with the peer pressure(You gotta find a way to deal with) |
|
The pressure, dealin' with the peer pressure(You gotta find a way to deal with) |
