Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Man, what does it take for a brother
To make it around here nowadays?
[Verse 2]
Stop the presses, let me introduce the newcomer
That's guaranteed to leave you speechless
Peep this, way back in the days
When I was waitin' for my turn to get on stage and get paid
I done a lot of high school shows and turned crowds out
Fellas yellin', "Ho," while the ladies scream my name out
I tell you that it wasn't enough, cuz
Kickin' it with my music every day was my first love
And as the time went on like a break of dawn
I got strong and now my word is bond
Some didn't think I had it in me
And when I said I wanted to become a star, they laughed at me
Well, the summer is here, and here I am, see
Kickin' a funky track 'cause I'm born into the 90's
[Verse 3]
(In the 90's) Make it feel good, come on
Make it feel good, yeah, come on
(He must be a star) Make it feel good
Yeah, make it feel good (He must be a star)
I'm born into the 90's
(In the 90's) Make it feel good, come on, yeah
Make it feel good, ladies (90's)
(He must be a star) Wait a minute, wait a minute
Yeah, that was hardcore
Let me get a little bit of this second verse (He must be a star)
[Verse 4]
I took my tape door to door, tryna get a contract
But they be like (Man, we ain't tryna hear that)
Boy, I tell you, it ain't easy bein' cheesy
When you're dealin' with the industry, you get faded, G
Unless you know somebody that knows somebody
That knows somebody, him or her that knows somebody
And then they wanna front like straight
Oh, you know my cousin from A&R Santa Fe?
Well, I be like, yeah, and they be like, swell
Can we have all of your publishin'? And I say, "Go to hell"
I'm not sellin' myself to be sold out
So I'll just hold out until I get the right clout
Some spreadin' rumors sayin' R. Kelly's trippin'
But I'm not, I'm vacationin' in the 90's
[Verse 5]
(In the 90's) Make it feel good, come on
Make it feel good, come on
(He must be a star) Make it feel good
(He must be a star) Make it feel good
I'm born into the 90's
(In the 90's) Make it feel good, come on, yeah
(In the 90's, yeah) Make it feel good
(He must be a star) Make it feel good
Anybody know what time it is? (He must be a star)
[Verse 6]
Yo, I feel it's time to get mine, rise and shine
Instead of fallin' to the back of the line
So fee-fi-fo-fum, here I come to get some
While others bite they tongue
In and out of contracts with scumbuckets
Makes me almost wanna say blah, blah, blah
But the R. is cool and will remain the same
As I collect my fame and fear no pain
Yeah, it couldn't have happened at a better time
A nice beat, strong sample, and a funky rhyme
And ever since I hooked up with the Midwest
I've been proper poppin' like Orville Redenbacher in the 90's
This track goes out to the public
Like Bartles & Jaymes would say, thanks for your support
In the 90's
[Verse 7]
(In the 90's) Make it feel good, yeah
Make it feel good
(He must be a star) Make it feel good, yeah, come on
(He must be a star) Make it feel good
(In the 90's) Make it feel good (90's)
(He must be a star)
(He must be a star) Make it feel good
Make it feel good, come on
Make it feel good, yeah
Make it feel good, ah
Make it feel good
Make it feel good
Yeah, make it feel good
And make it feel good
Make it feel good
[Verse 8]
(In the 90's) Make it feel good
Make it feel good
(He must be a star)
(He must be a star)
(In the 90's) Come on, make it feel good
Make it feel good
Yeah, make it feel good (He must be a star)
(He must be a star) Make it feel good
(In the 90's) Make it feel good, yeah
Make it feel good
Yeah, make it feel good (He must be a star)
(He must be a star)
(In the 90's) Make it feel good
Make it feel good
(He must be a star) Make it feel good
(He must be a star) Make it feel good
[Verse 9]
(In the 90's) Make it feel good, yeah
And make it feel good
All the ladies, make it feel good (He must be a star)
(He must be a star)
(In the 90's) Make it feel good
And make it feel good
Make it funky, make it feel good (He must be a star)
(He must be a star)
(In the 90's) Make it funky, make it feel good
Make it feel good, come on
Yeah, make it feel good (He must be a star)
Come on (He must be a star)
(In the 90's) All the ladies, make it feel good
All the ladies, make it feel good
