Lyrics

(Chorus)
It don't feel right
It don't feel right
I don't feel it
Don't feel it
Can't feel it no more

It don't feel right
It don't feel right
I don't feel it
Don't feel it
Can't feel it no more

Seems to me nowadays things have changed
I don't know if I feel the same

(Verse)
Yo, in the land of the unseen hand, and hold trouble
Theorize your game it's difficult to roll a double
The struggle ain't right up in your face, it's more subtle
But it still comin' across like, the bridge and tunnel vision
I try to school these bucks, but they don't wanna listen
That's the reason the system makin' its paper from the prison
And that's the reason we livin' where they don't wanna visit
Where the dope slangin', keep swangin' like sonny liston
The money missin' and there's mouths to feed
Get the brain kickin', thinkin' of a thousand things
Remember back in the days, when the kitchen had eggs
And pancakes, chicken, and greens, and kool aid?
When the 'frigerator naked and the cupboard is bare
People got to strip naked, stick 'em up in the air
Was it lies when they told ya wasn't nuthin' to fear?
Somethin' don't feel right out here, nahmsayin'?
Check it out

(Chorus)

(Verse)
Look, my eyes open 'cause I'm really a watchman
And when inviting my thoughts out, really I'm boxin'
My main adversary in this silly concoction
Freeze your face like botulinum toxin
If you ain't tryin' to get popped, then give me an option
Helicopters choppin', from philly to compton
The jones' the richest since dismissin' the johnsons
If you ain't sayin' nuthin', you the system's accomplice
Does it play with your conscience-do away with the nonsense?
I'm overseeing anything within my circumference
This ain't a press junket-i ain't seekin' responses
I stand where the people got the heat in their pockets
They mesmerized by the calm nonchalantness
I spit a dart, rub on, some john hitchcock shit
If you ain't speakin' your life, your rhyme's adopted
If it don't feel right, just stop it, yanahmsayin'?

(Extended chorus)
It don't feel right
It don't feel right
I don't feel it
Don't feel it
Can't feel it no more

It don't feel right
It don't feel right
I don't feel it
Don't feel it
Can't feel it no more

Things don't feel right over here
Lately I ain't been seein' clear

It don't feel right
It don't feel right
I don't feel it
Don't feel it
Can't feel it no more

It don't feel right
It don't feel right
I don't feel it
Don't feel it
Can't feel it no more

Seems to me nowadays things have changed
I don't know if I feel the same

(Verse)
Yo, children workin', weapon producin'
Natural disaster, got the planet in a panic
Y'all gots to make that livin'
Sex, drugs, murder, politics, and religion
Forms of hustlin', watch who you put all your trust in
Worldwide we coincide with who's sufferin'
Who never had shit and ain't got nuthin'?
But most strugglin', it make you wanna run up in the motherfuckin'..
With hots on for a piece of the cake back
I can't work for it, I can certainly take that
I'm fired up thinkin' 'bout the payback asap
You fuck around
Be an enemy of the state, black
Ill, but that ill be too real for tv
It's crazy when you too real to be free
If you don't got no paper then steal this cd
Listen, man I'll letcha know how it feel to be me
It don't feel..

(Extended chorus out)
