Stressed out, stressed out, I lost it
Back down, back down, what it costing?
Work hard, work hard, no profit
I swear I got holes in my pockets
Stressed out, stressed out, I got this
Back down, back down, not an option
Work hard, work hard, no profit
I swear I got dreams in my pockets
Motivation is fading, but I'm still chasing
Aware that I'm aging, I feel my body changing
I don't want to take another thing from my parents
I don't want to post on Instagram for appearance
I just wanna tell you real life shit
I've been chasing this thing since a lil old kid
Since sixteen I had a dream, and I ain't giving up
Twenty-four ain't got no more, my goals ain't living up
So what the fuck am I supposed to do?
I've given everything and my dreams still ain't come true
But I'm stubborn, I'm not budging
My Mother calls and I dodge discussions
I tell her that I'm so close and my dreams are coming
But lately I don't know for sure
'Cause I swear I been so close so many times before
Should I grow up and face reality?
I might never be everything I wanna be
Stressed out, stressed out, I lost it
Back down, back down, what it costing?
Work hard, work hard, no profit
I swear I got holes in my pockets
Stressed out, stressed out, I got this
Back down, back down, not an option
Work hard, work hard, no profit
I swear I got dreams in my pockets
Dedication can be isolating
I make music that you'll party to
And I ain't never getting faded
See my dream was to bring us together
But the further I get I feel more alone than ever
Bridges burnt, lessons learnt, now I work alone
I take my turn I take my earnings I don't leave my home
My lady got me but I honestly don't have no friends
I won't pretend, nobody checking in
If you don't ever bend on a vision
That never might kick in
You never might get it
That leaves you unsettled
Living in limbo, should I let it go?
Are these sacrifices worth it? I really don't know
I really hope so, I really work for it
But nothing's ever promised
I'm no more important
Than anybody, I'm just a nobody
Is it worth it to be a somebody? (yeah)
Stressed out, stressed out, I lost it
Back down, back down, what it costing?
Work hard, work hard, no profit
I swear I got holes in my pockets
Stressed out, stressed out, I got this
Back down, back down, not an option
Work hard, work hard, no profit
I swear I got dreams in my pockets
In my pockets (in my pockets)
In my pockets (in my pockets, in my pockets)
Yeah, yeah
I swear I got dreams in my pockets
(Stressed out)
There's no stopping (there's no stopping)
(Back down)
There's no stopping (there's no stopping, there's no stopping)
(Work hard) (yeah, yeah)
Chasing dreams and there ain't no stopping
Stressed out (stressed out), stressed out, I lost it
Back down (back down), back down, what it costing?
Work hard (work hard), work hard, no profit
I swear I got holes in my pockets
Stressed out (stressed out), stressed out, I got this
Back down (back down), back down, not an option
Work hard (work hard), work hard, no profit
I swear I got dreams in my pockets
