1
Chorus: repeat 4X
2
The pressure...
3
(you gotta find a way to deal with) dealin with the peer pressure
4
Verse One: Havoc
5
As a young black teen everyday I deal
6
with the pressure and mixed up is how I feel
7
I walk the streets with a fuck you attitude
8
And when it comes to my peoples you ain't half as rude
9
Follow the crowd or be a leader take your pick
10
Now I'm smokin buddha philly blunt style
11
A frustrated and confused young juvenile
12
King of the project blues so I choose
13
To take a piece of the action
14
But my sober state of mind won't let it happen
15
So twenty-four-seven it's the number one stresser
16
Dealin with the peer pressure
17
Chorus
18
Verse Two: Prodigy
19
Most don't understand how it is
20
in the world of today growin up as a young black teen
21
I used to dream, of bein a architect
22
Easier said than done, believe me it's hard to get
23
out of the projects, without forgettin where you came from
24
My parents told me from day one
25
Finish school and avoid all obstacles
26
But my environment, makes it so impossible
27
For instance, build a strong social life
28
Without messing up still trying to live right
29
Like in junior high, I used to wonder why
30
Certain females went out with certain guys
31
Then one day, it all dawned on me yo
32
You gotta be down, and have it goin on see
33
I wasn't down with the mainstream or
34
should I say their team, now I'm gettin steamed
35
Gotta find a way, to get accepted by my peers
36
So now I'm sippin on beers
37
Buyin new gear, nuthin but the best
38
Forget Levi's strictly Polo and Guess
39
But how would I make the cash
40
It gotta be easy and it gotta be fast
41
Thinkin to myself does that make me lesser
42
Just, dealin with the peer pressure
43
Chorus 2X
44
Verse Three: Havoc
45
Around my way there's a kid that most don't understand
46
how he lives is it negative or positive
47
He has a grade A average
48
But when he's on the streets, with his friends, he's a savage
49
A freshman of high school, daily attendant
50
He never got in trouble never did he get suspended
51
Good little Kenny who would believe
52
He dropped out of school to start to smoke weed
53
I saw the signs but I didn't pay attention
54
Because he got offended everytime that I would mention
55
The drinkin, the smokin, the low school grades
56
And sleepin in class laid back with his black shades
57
Nowadays you catch Kenny hangin in the hallways
58
With his crew findin more ways
59
To break out of school, and hit the block and get buckwild
60
Stay out of the way of a mad child
61
Cause he's a product of, hell
62
Kenny never fell but he's gonna fall overall
63
So let's take a trip to the ghetto
64
Where Kenny got drunk and bought a burner off his man so
65
He pulled the trigger and the suicide note right
66
"I'm glad it's finally over and I'm finally dead
67
And no more, do I have to feel, lesser, or
68
deal with the peer pressure"
69
Chorus 2X
