Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You've got me feeling emotions, ayy
Higher, ahh
You've got me feeling emotions
[Verse 2]
Don't link me
Don't hit me when your hear this
And tell me your favorite song
Don't tell me how you knew it would be
Like this all along
I know the truth is
You won't love me until I'm gone
And even then, the thing that comes after is moving on
I can't even capture the feeling I had at first
Meeting all my heroes
Like seeing how magic works
The people I look up to
Are going from bad to worse
Their actions out of character
Even when they rehearse
[Verse 3]
Working in the "Land of the Free"
"The Home of the Brave"
I gotta bring my brothers
Or else I feel out of place
Breakin' speed records
On roads that these **** paved
And they don't like that
It's written all on they face
I don't know how I'ma make it out of here clean
Can't even keep track of who plays for the other team
Iconic duos ripped and split at the seams
Good-hearted people are takin' it to extremes
Leavin' me in limbo to question what I believe
Leavin' me to ask what's their motive in makin' peace?
Leavin' me to not trust anybody I meet
Leavin' me to ask, "Is there anybody like me?"
[Verse 4]
You've got me feeling emotions
You've got me feeling emotions, ayy
[Verse 5]
Missing out on my years
There's times when I wish I was where I was
Back when I used to wish I was here
Missing out on my days
Scrolling through life and fishing for praise
Opinions from total strangers
Take me out of my ways
I try and see who's there
On the other end of the shade
Most times, it's just somebody
That's underage, that's prolly just alone and afraid
And lashin' out so that someone else can feel they pain
[Verse 6]
I always hear people complain
About the place that they live
That all the people here are fake
And they got nothin' to give
'Cause they been starin' at
Somebody else's version of shit
That makes another city seem more exciting than it is
I know a girl whose one goal was to visit Rome
Then she finally got to Rome
And all she did was post pictures for people at home
'Cause all that mattered
Was impressing everybody she's known
I know another girl that's crying out for help
But her latest caption is, "Leave me alone"
I know a girl happily married
Till she puts down her phone
I know a girl that saves pictures
From places she's flown to post later
And make it look like she still on the go
[Verse 7]
Look at the way we live
I wasn't hiding my kid from the world
I was hiding the world from my kid
From empty souls who just wake up and look to debate
Until you starin' at your seed
You could never relate
Breaking news in my life, I don't run to the blogs
The only ones I wanna tell are the ones I can call
They always ask, "Why let the story run, if it's false?"
You know a wise man once said nothin' at all
I'm exhausted and drained, I can't even pretend
All these people takin' miles when you give 'em a inch
All these followers, but who gon' follow me to the end?
I guess I'll make it to the end and I'ma find out then
[Verse 8]
You've got me feeling emotions, ayy
Higher, higher
You've got me feeling emotions, ayy
Higher, higher
