Lyrics

I'm addicted to these beats, a slave to the rhythm
Sometimes my home studio becomes my own prison
I'm thankful I've been given this crazy life I'm living
But the walls get closer when you constantly within 'em
I get driven insane, my brain gets a little blurry
Groundhog Day, I start to feel like Bill Murray
I still worry about my own mental health
But when I'm on tour, man, I check myself
I did a show last week in a town called Houston
Met a young fan who told me that my songs moved him
Said that when he listens to 'em that they talk to him
'Cause the same problems that he's going though I've gone through 'em
I guess we're all human, and not that different
And compared to myself my music is more significant
So when he asked me how I feel
I kept it real when I told him the deal
I said it feels good
Yeah, that's that right there
And it feels so good to be around
You know the high when you walking in the sky, both feet on a cloud
It just feels so good, feels so good, feels so good
Can't be mad about it
This rat race'll make you move at such a hurried pace
You'll forget to stop and appreciate your current place
Man, I'm tryna look around more
Treasure the sound more when I hear the crowd roar
I know talented musicians on the ground floor
Looking up at me like "What the fuck you feeling down for?
How come compared to smiling you always frown more?
Pussy, I'm at UPS, working, wearing these brown shorts"
So now I take it to heart
And come from a different angle when I'm making my art
My shit might never make it to a chart
But of this rap game that ain't never been my favorite part
So every new day that I start off by bitchin'
I think of all the dishes in the restaurant kitchen that I used to wash to get a meal
And re-evaluate how I feel and it feels good
Yeah, that's that right there
And it feels so good to be around
You know the high when you walking in the sky, both feet on a cloud
It just feels so good, feels so good, feels so good
Can't be mad about it
I count my blessings like a salad chef counts his dressings
And always find the smallest are the best things
A song that takes away the shit that stress brings
With my man E, greatest on the boards like chess kings
Tell the dudes from the label I'll have food on my table regardless
Thick skin, you can't scar this
You harmless, you ain't the reason that I started this
You ask me how I feel, I say I'm motherfucking marvelous
Everything that I build, all home grown
IKEA, we assembling our own thrones
Glass jaws gon' fall when they throw stones
We crush rocks with titanium nose bones
You ain't gonna fuckin' take out Mike Jones, holmes
And when they put me in the old folks home
And ask me how I feel there
I pop a wheelie on my wheelchair and tell 'em that it feels good
Yeah, that's that right there
And it feels so good to be around
You know the high when you walking in the sky, both feet on a cloud
It just feels so good, feels so good, feels so good
Can't be mad about it
Yeah
So back in 2008
I did an album with my man EOM called Liquid Courage
EOM is responsible as well for the track you're hearing right now
Anyway, on that album, on the first song
I said that if that album failed I would move to Hawaii and drink 'til I die
Well, it's five years later
And I've never even been to Hawaii, I'd love to go there
I'm, I've always dreamed of going there, I'm sure it's a beautiful place
But that album wasn't a failure
And nothing I've ever done has been a failure
It's just some shit I did
And the next thing I do
Will just be another thing that adds on to that pile of shit
So I'd like to end this album appropriately
By proposing another toast
To all my people listening
All my people who helped me along the way
My friends, my families, my fellow musicians, cheers
Cheers to failure
Drink up
And be safe out there
