Chorus: repeat 4x
The pressure...
(you gotta find a way to deal with) dealin with the peer pressure
Verse one: havoc
As a young black teen, everyday i, deal
With the pressure and mixed up is how I feel
I walk the streets with a fuck you attitude
And when it comes to my peoples you aint half as rude
Follow the crowd or be a leader, take your pick
Now Im smokin buddha philly blunt style
A frustrated and confused young juvenile
King of the project blues so I choose
To take a piece of the action
But my sober state of mind wont let it happen
So twenty-four-seven its the number one stresser
Dealin with the peer pressure
Chorus
Verse two: prodigy
Most dont 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 its 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 wasnt down with the mainstream or
Should I say their team, now Im gettin steamed
Gotta find a way, to get accepted by my peers
So now Im sippin on beers
Buyin new gear, nuthin but the best
Forget levis 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
Chorus 2x
Verse three: havoc
Around my way theres a kid that most dont understand
How he lives is it negative or positive
He has a grade a average
But when hes on the streets, with his friends, hes 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 didnt pay attention
Because he got offended everytime 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 ha
