Marlon Craft
Stressed With The Best
[Verse 1: Marlon Craft]
I let the vision expand, word to Lasik
They wish they could move with this love, word to hatred
When advanced get hard, most people return to basic
Get further from peace the moment you start to chase it
My past filled with strife and woe, I wouldn't erase it
For the right to blow, for hype and gold, to be crooked adjacent
Before the fight can close in my book of pages
The rules I wrote in it are the ones thеy gonna play with
Your energy a non-starter, word to Jamal Crawford
No disrеspect to Jamal Crawford
But dudes try to hop around behind my back like I don't see it all awkward
I get that you afraid, you talking to the godfather
Pound for pound I'm like if A.I. played in China
Dudes the type to act rookie but can't escape the minors
Dudes the type to act pussy and never ate vagina
Mwah, I'm chef's kissing it
Still hate a hypocrite more than somebody who doesn't give a shit
Yeah, searching for someone to be consistent with
Everybody switching up, take the script then rip it up
When it gets to scenes that they wrote but don't like living in
Far from fearless, but I'm peerless
If the real is back, then motherfucker, I'm the rearest
I'm past the point where their ignorance is endearing
I look you in the eye while I take the flame to this here bridge
Fuck validation at the cost of toxicity
Every second, that's how often thoughts get to me
'Bout to let 'em go though, finally got the drop mentally
So let me be, yeah
[Chorus: Marlon Craft]
I just wanna free my mind, yeah
I don't wanna think too hard, no
I just wanna live my life, yeah
But if you wanna play my card, yo
I could be stressed with the best of 'em
With the best of 'em
I could be stressed with the best of 'em
With the best of 'em (Look)

[Verse 2: Oswin Benjamin]
The God done put his heart in it
Mitchell & Ness with the punch-ins and by y'all swing, man, I can tell it ain't authentic
The art done been augmented, William Paul Mitchell
These lyrics hit like a lecture, still a professor at large with it
Still a n***a been spot on, dawg
Keep an eye on that inner circle, those ones'll get you targeted
Mm, it's a two-fold entendre but they won't all get it
"Spot", "dawg", "inner circle", "target", pfft, forget it
I'm back, listen, you lack vision, it's in a transition
Urkels turn Urquelle and start to act different
My reflection lacks fiction, I seen a Jekyl tryna hide
'Til I decided to see the good and the bad in him
Mm, I feel the type of stress that come with excellence
Impurity refinement through the fires in my regimen
Hey you, you know that I'm gold in my element
So periodically they check this alchemist's table for evidence
It's stressful
[Chorus: Marlon Craft]
I just wanna free my mind, yeah
I don't wanna think too hard, no
I just wanna live my life, yeah
But if you wanna play my card, yo
I could be stressed with the best of 'em
With the best of 'em
I could be stressed with the best of 'em
With the best of 'em

[Outro: Oswin Benjamin]
Yo, lemme, um
Lemme know what you think about that shit
That shit was too tough, bro, I had to write to that shit 'fore I went to sleep
I dead woke up and recorded that shit 'fore I brushed my teeth, n***a, that's how important you are
You understand what I'm saying?
Hear that? (*Water running*)
That's me getting ready to brush my teeth right now
Just wanted to let you know, alright?
Let me know how you feel about this shit, though
I mean if you fuck with it, if you don't
Any adjustments you need to make, my n***a
Let— Let me know, bro
