In the Air
Beanie Sigel feat. Melissa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My Spidey-Senses is tinglin'
(Feel somethin') Got my radars up
I can feel it in the air
Somethin' goin' on, I feel funny
Can't tell me nothin' different, my nose twitchin'
Intuition settin' in like Steve vision
Still hear that voice in the back of my mind
So what I do? I still take heed, I still listen
I still paint that perfect picture
I still shine bright like a prism
My words still skippin' through air
I know you can't, don't, won't get it
You niggas chose to ride that ship, sunk with it
I'm still afloat
I ain't the captain of the yacht but I'm on the boat
I ain't actin' what I'm not knowin' that I don't
You niggas acting like you will, but I know you won't
I read between the lines of the eyes and your brows
Your handshake ain't matchin' your smile, uh-uh, you niggas foul
I can feel it in the air
I can feel it in the air
I can feel it in the air
I can hear it in your voice
I can feel it in the air
I sit alone in my four-cornered room staring at hammers
Ready to go bananas
Two vests on me, two TECs, extra clips on me
I know my mind ain't playin' tricks on me
I ain't schiz', homie
Ain't nobody dropped a mick on me
Its like they tryna plot or sit on me
I hear this voice in the back of my mind
Like, "Mack, tighten up your circle before they hurt you"
Read they body language
Eighty-five percent communication non-verbal
Eighty-five percent swear they know you
Ten percent, you know they stories
Man, the other five, time'll show you, just know you
Then pull they strings, you the puppet-master
Fuck them other bastards, man, watch who you puffin' after
Play your cards, go against all odds
Shoot for the moon, if you miss, you still amongst those stars
I can feel it in the air
I can feel it in the air
I can feel it in the air (I ain't scared, nigga, I ain't goin' nowhere)
I can hear it in your voice (can you feel it?)
I can feel it in the air (can you feel me?)
Can you feel the grim reaper floatin'?
Foul preacher quotin' scriptures from Revelation
To talk shit and got the devil waitin'
Body gettin' stiff, soul levitatin'
Why do I speak blasphemy?
Knowing one day they will ask for me
As for my sins, no one will feel his wrath for me
I go through it so you wouldn't do it after me
As for me, I'm still circlin' the block before I'm parkin'
Not bitchin', I'm just still cautious
Same black parka
Same Uzi, extra clip, still clappin' with that same Lorcin
Damn, I feel it in the air, you not sincere
Nigga, it ain't a "us" or "we" or "I'ma" thing
It's a good-bad karma thing, this a song men of honor sing
I swear I feel something, honestly
I can feel it in the air (I can feel it, I can feel it)
I can feel it in the air (I can feel it, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
I can feel it in the air (ooh, yeah)
I can hear it in your voice (ooh)
I can feel it in the air (I can)
I can feel it in the air
I can feel it in the air (I can feel it)
I can hear it in your voice (in your voice, in your voice)
I can feel it in the air

Most of our communication is not through words, but through actions and expressions
85 percent swear they know you, 10 percent you know they stories
Most people think they know you, but really you only know a fraction of their true motives
Man, tha other 5 time to show you, just know you

Play ya cards, go against all odds
Be strategic and take risks, even when the odds are against you
Shoot for tha moon, if you miss you still amongst those stars
Aim high and don't be afraid to fail, because even if you don't succeed, you will still achieve great things
Can you feel it, can you feel it floatin'?
Can you sense the unease that is present?
Foul picture quotin', scriptures from Revelation
I am referencing biblical texts to describe the dire situation at hand
Just talk shit an' got tha devil waitin'
People who talk recklessly are inviting danger and negative energy into their lives
Body get stiff, so levitate
The situation is tense and requires a careful approach
Why do I speak blasphemy?
Why do I say things that go against my religious beliefs?
Knowin' one day that He'll ask for me
I am aware that I will have to answer for my actions and words eventually
Ask for my sins, no one to feel His wrath for me
I will have to atone for my own sins, and no one else can do it for me
I go through it, so you wouldn't do it after me
I am going through this difficult situation so that others won't have to experience it
I'm still circlin' tha block before I'm parkin'
I am being cautious and surveying the situation before committing to a course of action
Not bitchin', I'm just still cautious
I am not complaining, I am just being sensible and patient
Same black parka, same Uzi
I am preparing to defend myself with the same weapons as before
Extra clips, still clappin' wit that same larkin'
I have more ammunition and am still prepared to defend myself with force
Damn, I feel it in tha air, you not sincere
I can sense that people around me are not genuine or trustworthy
Nigga it ain't an us, or we, or I'ma thing
This situation is not about loyalty or camaraderie, it is an individual matter
It's a good bad karma thing, this a song man
The situation is a balance of both good and bad karma, and this song is a reflection of that
I'ma say, I swear I feel somethin' honestly
I am being truthful and sincere when I say that I sense something is happening

This song takes me back to one of darkest periods in my life. I was in my 20's sitting in the Penitentiary the first time I heard this song come from like what seemed out of nowhere playing soothingly through the speakers of my old jailhouse radio. If only for one brief moment that eerie beat and those lyrics which spoke of the pain I was living in that very moment brought a wind of change to my circumstance. I've cherished this song ever since. I'm sorry for this long ass paragraph y'all just wanted to share that memory.
