Lyrics How I Feel - Nappy Roots

How I Feel

I’m feeling good
I’m living pimpin
We still alive
Shout out my folks in Clemson
South Carolina Trippin
Folks dying in church
I stop going to church
Like fuck is it worth
I stop messing wit drugs
Seen how it was doing us
We trying to raise families
This shit gone ruining us
You rolling wit Jesus
I’m rolling wit Neil
You popping a pill
I smoke weed for my ills
I’m tire of the lies
You the man disguised
You keep looking for God
I just look to survive
I be smoking a black
She be smoking her crack
We both stuck in the trap
We’ll both kill for a stack
How you feel I’m lit
Where I live it’s lit
We talk shit on the porch
While we killing a fifth
20 years he gone
Paperwork he back home
I write lyrics for y’all
Hope you loving the songs
If you wonder who I am then truth is what I’ll give
Let me take you to my world and show you how I live
The sun don’t always shine on us and that’s just how it is
But I’m here to stay another day and that’s just how I feel
I’ll take an 8 to explain
Where I’m coming from my aim
Like a pointed gun, I ain’t
The one to up and run
I put that on my daughter
And a couple sons
Until I’m gone, forever hustle-un
I do it just because it’s fun
If not then fuck it
I’m at a juncture in my life
If you can’t take the truth then tough shit
I made it out the bucket but some will say I’m lucky
Louisvillian til my death
You can find me at Atlantucky…
Lobby call lebm check out at da Travelodge
Really can’t complain hell I done beat a lotta odds
The result the same incompetent or Sabotage
Do ya thang tho, It’s all good like Rally’s fries
Chess not Checkers
I bless hot records
My horoscope told me say less not extra
I’m good in the blackest spots, put that on deez freckles
Age no longer thirty-eight but ya boy’s still special…
How you doin?
If you wonder who I am then truth is what I’ll give
Let me take you to my world and show how I live
The sun don’t always shine on us and that’s just how it is
But I’m here to stay another day and that’s just how I feel
They asking me how I’m doing
I can’t complain a bit
I feel so alive and no my life ain’t a bitch
I took out the rearview
I’m better than yesterday
I’m moving downfield
I’m making better plays
Made me some money but then I blew all that
Looked in the mirror like why don’t you fall back
I Got in control and then I fucked up again
Ain’t nobody perfect, every second I sin
These here mistakes don’t define a man
I embrace a loss and make the mind expand
A wise woman told me not to jump off the bridge
And that the wagon ain’t no better never ride the band
As a kid it was tough to make my own decisions
Probably why I’m practicing my own religion
But it’s all to the good, I don’t judge nobody
I’m just tryna show some love dap and hug somebody
If you wonder who I am then truth is what I’ll give
Let me take you to my world and show how I live
The sun don’t always shine on us and that’s just how it is
But I’m here to stay another day and that’s just how I feel
