Jamieson feat. Joell Ortiz chasing this dream

Select language to translate this lyric

The stress of life got me nervous,
Hide it with a smile on the surface.
I feel so worthless, is not worth it,
Have to try and find a remedy to stop the hurtin'.
They speak with negligence,
Plus my visuals say I'm irrelevant,
Me with this mic' in my hand I'm in my element.
It's evident, sentences I speak, peak intelligence,
The way I speak, it make you think I speak with speech impediment.
Destined to feed us, pride to be a fetus,
I was probably writing bars, stuck in my father's penis.
My father had to urge with a surge, quickly splurge
Short, weak and naked, nine months later I emerged.
A scrawny looking white kid, gone hyperactive
The fact is that I'm from two different breeds
So that I can flip that Spanglish.
Mira mis ojos! They used to laugh when I had poco,
Left London Town for these dreams and now they call me loco!
Message and missin', they never used to listen,
Or give me the time of day, but I found another way
Between the smile and the grindin', and the cryin' and the rhymin',
Puttin' all that time in
They'll soon say sign him
The stress of life got me nervous,
Hide it with a smile on the surface.
I feel so worthless, is not worth it,
Have try and find a remedy to stop the hurtin'.
And sometimes I fell like to give up,
Chasing this dream makes me sicker
I feel so worthless, is not worth it,
Have try and find a remedy to stop the hurtin'.
I'm chasing this dream, I can't plan between,
Had a couple record deals, O.K., what did it mean?
Its just a little more guap in an album thats going to drop
And a model bitch on top, but a lot its gonna stop!
You won't keep your a pencil sharpened
So I constantly keep my mental carving aware of the beat
Yea I eat, for my mens are starving,
That ain't good in my book,
So I rhyme like I got the whole hood on my hook.
You're all food and I walk around looking to cook,
I ain't a bully but man, I couldn't pull it together, pulling a pulley up.
Fixin to bring a drop to the chop, chop,
I'm gone! Had the block, locked after I chopped rock with horns.
Till the cop stop by I got the spot pop cmon',
It ain't the life for a nigger that write
Like he's born of another plannet
Aint got to like me, but respect it,
If you understand it, this aint my life
I'm taking dumb advantage
The stress of life caught me nervous,
Hide it with a smile on the surface.
I feel so worthless, is not worth it,
Have try and find a remedy to stop the hurtin'.
And sometimes I fell like to give up,
Chasing this dream makes me sicker
I feel so worthless, is not worth it,
Have try and find a remedy to stop the hurtin'.
More bad days than good,
And more than one way I should.
Get away from this, I promise I wish I could,
The green on my face barely shows I'm lying.
And these 12 hour shifts clearly show that I'm trying,
She wants more money, so we keep on fighting.
He bears witness to this, So he wants to cry
Big man, don't be sad, I hate seeing you cry!
You're the only reason I haven't contemplated suicide.
I used to do this for me, but ever since you arrived,
I've been alone on focus so with everything I strived,
He huggs me tighter, I felt his tears on my shoulder,
Now run to your mother little man, I have to go now!
The look in his eyes, asked me why I had to leave,
And the look in my eyes said I have to chase those dreams.
Our broke self-esteem, makes these dreams seem forever
But it means the world to me
So it's better late than never.
The stress of life got me nervous,
Hide it with a smile on the surface.
I feel so worthless, is not worth it,
Have try and find a remedy to stop the hurtin'.
And sometimes I fell like to give up,
Chasing this dream makes me sicker
I feel so worthless, is not worth it,
Have try and find a remedy to stop the hurtin'.
Yo Joel, how did you do it?
Shit, I put my head down,
Ran my own race,
Look at me now.
Yea your'e right man,
Say it.
