How I Feel (feat. Eric Bellinger & Killer Mike)

If you could only know my feelings

Then you would know how much

Look, fuck all that protesting and marching peacefully

They still gon' find a way to handle us egregiously

Legally, if I may get this shit up off my mind now

We born in the battlefield, can't call no timeout

Every time now it's another one of us lying out

Crying out, "I can't breathe," until he dies out

Make me ask myself, what would you die about?

I doubt if **** been banging since junior high

Letting 'em fly on opposition resembling you and I

Racist cracker give a fuck about it

They never will till they start picking up a couple bodies

When we got killed, within some hours scattered rain showers

The pain hurt, but the cold, hard fact of the matter, it's getting worse

Damn

If I could wish upon a star

I'd send a special bullet everywhere you hateful bastards are

Pull a string like a Gibson guitar, way from afar

Slow motion, watch it enter your temple and exit your jaw

Hmmm

Send you all to Hell with a scar, a conversation piece

Hope it maybe leads to a joke when you and Satan speak

Yeah, you were patronizing us, we waited patiently

Well, you would probably give your life to trade a day with me

Call that shit a eye for an eye, my ****, by any means

Sheesh! Had extended clip before skinny jeans

Now bow and arrows at cops cars with kerosene, that's how I'm feeling

(How it feel for me

To be all alone, all alone

How it feel for me

To be all alone, all alone)

Now fuck that shit, that's how I'm feeling

I had a dream me and King saw Zimmerman

We laid low, masked up in a rental van

He killed a child, body was stiff and twisted, man

A mother cried, only one way to fix it, man

How long 'fore the people in the street

Get tired of the evil, say "Fuck that!"? (Fuck that!)

How long will they kneel to the heel of the state

With a foot in they face 'fore they bust back? (Bust back!)

Won't be long 'fore agents of the state get ate like steak

'Cause the people too strong (Too strong!)

Rebels coming one Sunday, it's blood by Monday

I promise I won't be long (It won't be long)

Lame ****

Same **** found out crackers had money on his head

Lame ****

Same **** calling me like, "Michael, I'm scared!"

I hug that **** like Michael did Fredo

Kept it G like my K though

Excessive force leave a **** no choice

But a **** better shoot his shot fatal

Bad boy, bad boy, tell me what you gonna do

When the police kill your mama?

Fuck that, I'll follow Obama when he kill the crackers that killed Breonna

I'd take that charge, stick out my chest, confess to judge, "Your honor"

I'm the truth, my ancestors pray for your honor and fuck your mama

(How it feel for me

To be all alone, all alone

How it feel for me

To be all alone, all alone)

Till the brawl finish

But we all been in need of superheroes

Can you call it in?

It a now problem, never solved any

But we got to work down to Albany

Keep a long order, it's a tall order

Murder after murder, people y'all killing's

Our aunts, uncles, our grandchildren

Can't ask for it, gotta take that shit

Ain't no repentance

Eye for an eye, we want our vengeance

Life for a life, he kill your fiancée, kill his wife

Same for his father, generations of sons and daughters

It's hard to stomach, they say I sound like Ali Mohammed

I say you got me, we living under these fucking Nazis

What you expected? People riot, then you respect it?

In a split decision, gotta pick a side with this division

But we ain't fit for living, we can't protect our women and children

Man, we get sick, they just gon' give us some Clorox and Penicillin

Experimenting in Tuskegee showed me you would deceive me

As the city burned down and the nightfall

'96 Impala, we just bouncing like it's roundball

This ain't the 90s, and the youngins, I ain't scared, y'all

The water boys, they might shoot back at the red dawgs

I tell 'em, "Plot, plan, strategize, organize

And mobilize a secret army and stay unified

(How it feel for me

To be all alone, all alone

How it feel for me

To be all alone, all alone)

Now fuck that shit, that's how I'm feeling

I mean the truth is, I'm a human, you a human

Skin color aside, riddle me this

How dare I speak peace to a maniac

The fuck does that make me?

I mean, you motherfuckers can bend your knees, man

Fold your hands on your Bibles

And pray as much as you motherfucking want, but

The art of not fighting back was brought to us by Christianity

That was given to us by our oppressor

So you continue to follow that, you continue to follow them

I be goddamned

I tell you what, ****, you see me down bad

Motherfucker, on my ass

****, don't fail me, ****, help me, ****

I'm telling you that, ****, while I'm right here, ****

****, I'd do the same for you

No cap, ****

That bullshit ain't 'bout nothing
