[Intro]
We bring the realness
Feel this
We bring the realness
Feel this
We bring the realness

[Verse 1]
Voices in my head be telling me not to worry
To go all out and grab what I can get in a hurry
But past experiences scoop me on consequences
For instance, to use my senses
So that when I get tempted I make sure to steer clear
Always peep the rear
It's a fast operation
N***as are chasing
Forced to face them obstacles
One sign of figurelick[? 0:42] like popsicles
But my head is kept well
I'm alive in '96
I got the strategy
And I'll be out for longevity
Heads better be on their P's and Q's
Competition is vicious
We refuse to lose
Or fall victim to impulses
But my pulse is, beating steady
I'll burn out you like a cigarette
In '96 n***as stress the petty
But serious business should be handled gently
You gotta simmer down because you're moving too fast
"Simmer down, baby, yeah"
You gotta slow down
But that's lifestress, I guess

You gotta simmer down because you're moving too fast
"Simmer down, baby, yeah"
You gotta slow down
But that's lifestress, I guess

[Verse 2]
Nowadays people stress and don't think straight
I stay sharper in order to fly straight
But pigs fly crooked
And pork is disgusting
I know n***as rushin'
And women mistrustin'
Gettin' conflicts heated over untamed desire
To take it higher
Baby boo's a live wire
And you and her together is bound to go haywire
Yeah I be talkin' mess
'N', the n***a still stressin'
Life teaches lessons
Spoke the left guessin'
Like chickens with they heads cut off
Run in circles then fall off
I like my eggs boiled soft
See what I'm sayin'?
You gotta learn from your everyday
'N' if you wanna go far in the race that's long
If you wanna come off in the fuckin' marathon
You gotta simmer down because you're moving too fast
"Simmer down, baby, yeah"
You gotta slow down
But that's lifestress, I guess

You gotta simmer down because you're moving too fast
"Simmer down, baby, yeah"
You gotta slow down
But that's lifestress, I guess

You gotta simmer down because you're moving too fast
"Simmer down, baby, yeah"
You gotta slow down
But that's lifestress, I guess

You gotta simmer down because you're moving too fast
"Slow it down, down, down"
You gotta slow down
But that's lifestress, I guess

[Verse 3]
I got one girl that's jealous
And one out for action
Plus, there be my ex-girl
But, but, she be slackin'
And homeboy next to me be tryna mack it
Gettin' close to me to gain opportunity
But you ain't doin' me
With that fake friend act
I could tell by the smell of the trouble
You attract
So detach yourself
From my interest
Step up in the mess
And I'll put your true skills to the test
You could lead your life in many different ways
And someways or pace, um, will destroy ya
It's all up in the mix
And the wisdom to choose it
Tighten your grip and slow down before you lose it
Lose it
You gotta simmer down because you're moving too fast
"Simmer down, baby, yeah"
You gotta slow down
But that's lifestress, I guess

You gotta simmer down because you're moving too fast
"Simmer down, baby, yeah"
You gotta slow down
But that's lifestress, I guess

You gotta simmer down because you're moving too fast
"Simmer down, baby, yeah"
You gotta slow down
But that's lifestress, I guess

You gotta simmer down because you're moving too fast
"Simmer down, baby, yeah"
You gotta slow down
But that's lifestress, I guess

You gotta simmer down because you're moving too fast
"Simmer down, baby, yeah"
You gotta slow down
But that's lifestress, I guess

You gotta simmer down because you're moving too fast
"Slow it down, down, down"
You gotta slow down
But that's lifestress, I guess
