Chorus: repeat 4xThe pressure...(you gotta find a way to deal with) dealin with the peer pressureVerse one: havocAs a young black teen, everyday i, dealWith the pressure and mixed up is how I feelI walk the streets with a ***** you attitudeAnd when it comes to my peoples you aint half as rudeFollow the crowd or be a leader, take your pickNow Im smokin buddha philly blunt styleA frustrated and confused young juvenileKing of the project blues so I chooseTo take a piece of the actionBut my sober state of mind wont let it happenSo twenty-four-seven its the number one stresserDealin with the peer pressureChorusVerse two: prodigyMost dont understand how it isIn the world of today growin up as a young black teenI used to dream, of bein a architectEasier said than done, believe me its hard to getOut of the projects, without forgettin where you came fromMy parents told me from day oneFinish school and avoid all obstaclesBut my environment, makes it so impossibleFor instance, build a strong social lifeWithout messing up still trying to live rightLike in junior high, I used to wonder whyCertain females went out with certain guysThen one day, it all dawned on me yoYou gotta be down, and have it goin on seeI wasnt down with the mainstream orShould I say their team, now Im gettin steamedGotta find a way, to get accepted by my peersSo now Im sippin on beersBuyin new gear, nuthin but the bestForget levis strictly polo and guessBut how would I make the cashIt gotta be easy and it gotta be fastThinkin to myself does that make me lesserJust, dealin with the peer pressureChorus 2xVerse three: havocAround my way theres a kid that most dont understandHow he lives is it negative or positiveHe has a grade a averageBut when hes on the streets, with his friends, hes a savageA freshman of high school, daily attendantHe never got in trouble never did he get suspendedGood little kenny who would believeHe dropped out of school to start to smoke weedI saw the signs but I didnt pay attentionBecause he got offended everytime that I would mentionThe drinkin, the smokin, the low school gradesAnd sleepin in class laid back with his black shadesNowadays you catch kenny hangin in the hallwaysWith his crew findin more waysTo break out of school, and hit the block and get buckwildStay out of the way of a mad childCause hes a product of, hellKenny never fell but hes gonna fall overallSo lets take a trip to the ghettoWhere kenny got drunk and bought a burner off his man soHe pulled the trigger and the suicide note rightIm glad its finally over and Im finally deadAnd no more, do I have to feel, lesser, orDeal with the peer pressureChorus 2x
