Lyrics
[Verse 1]
And this is what it feels like
And this is what it feels like
[Verse 2]
Look, the only reason I survive 'cause a **** is special
First, you get successful then it get stressful
Thirst, **** gone test you see what your texture's worth
Diamonds and pipes, one of em' pressure bursts
Street ****, still I get checks in spurts
I'm for peace, but before I get pressed I murk
Better days prayed for but expecting worse
At this level, bullshit I'm just less concerned
Cruising in the six, looking at the proceeds of rap music on my wrist
Drop another mixtape, my shit boomin' out this bitch
Young Malcom, I'm the leader of the movement out this bitch
Look, and this is what it feels like
Reach a level, make you question is it real life?
All the weed good, all the pussy real tight
And the only rule keep your dollar bills right
[Verse 3]
And this is what it feels like
And this is what it feels like
And this is what it feels like
And this is what it feels like
[Verse 4]
Scorpion bricks, way before Aubrey's double discs
40 on my lap, clap
Sound like 40 did the mix
Feel the bass, sniff coke like a Michelin Star chef
Chef kiss, I go dumby with my left
IRS on my dick, try to audit all my checks
Too late, you know they hate when you become more than what they expect
You let them crackas storm your Capitol
Put they feet out on your desk and yet you talking tough to me?
I lost all my little respect
I'm selling weed in the open, bringing folks home from the feds
I know the payback gon' be mean, I'm saving all my little bread
Pray for me y'all, one day ima' have to pay for these thoughts
Real **** is extinct, it ain't safe for me my dawg
They killing **** in their own hood, that make sense to you at all?
You burnt your bridge to the other side, you know you can't swim across
Y'all know **** can't swim, they found Mike after he died
Y'all know **** can't win
You'll never land, all jokes aside
I arrived on the day Fred Hampton got mur-, hold up
Assassinated just to clarify it further
What y'all gave birth is the Chairman mixed with Jeff Fort
Big stepper on the jet with my legs crossed
Black stones on my neck, y'all can't kill Christ
Black Messiah is what I feel like
Shit ain't gon' stop cuz y'all spilled blood
We gon' turn up even more since y'all killed cuh
[Verse 5]
And this is what it feels like
And this is what it feels like
And this is what it feels like
[Verse 6]
(And this is what it feels like)
(And this is what it feels like) As it fucking should
(And this is what it feels like) Feels so fucking good
(And this is what it feels like)
(And this is what it feels like)
Feels so fucking good
(And this is what it feels like)
(And this is what it feels like)
