Cat Power Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What's happening?
The Hot Boys got some feelings
They like to get off they chest
And if these niggaz
Feel like we feel, then y'all niggaz real
Cause we feel like this here

I feel like niggaz can't fuck with me
I feel like someone wanna be B.G.
I feel Lil' Wayne will burn yo block so quick
I feel Turk will be quiet and take yo shit
I feel Juve will catch you
Slipping and unload the tech
I feel a big ass helicopter on the set
Sometimes I don't even know how I feel
But I feel if you hating shit goin' get real
I feel like goin' buy me a brand new car
I feel like the neighborhood superstar
I feel like goin' buy me a new rolex
I feel this album goin' bring a big royalty check
I feel this nigga mad cuz I fucked his bitch
I feel like this nigga could just suck my dick
I feel like we taking over the industry fo'' sho
I feel like this bitin'
Wannabe soldiers already know
I feel like Fresh is the best at beats
I feel like when you hear this shit
You goin' feel like me

Nigga fuck you
I feel just like you (3x)

You fucking with the B.G.
You fucking with the whole crew

I feel like niggaz trying to size me up
I feel like niggaz trying to bust me up
I feel like Look, I can't be stopped
I feel like me and my click too hot
I feel like hitting the block with four niggaz
I feel like the whole CMB made niggaz
I feel like hitting the ho after this ''cert
I feel like niggaz can't fuck with Juve
The B.G. and Turk
I feel like
We bout to blow up in this world
I feel like if I gotta hustle
I'mma sell some 'furl'
Sometimes I just feel like jumping shop
I feel if my rhyme got beat, I'mma ride
I feel if a nigga flex up I pop the 'tro'
I feel like I could a nigga ho if I want
I feel like just getting it how I live
I feel like respect my mind lemme feel how I feel

You fuck with Lil' Turk
You fucking with the whole crew

I feel like I'mma lose my life for this
I feel like I'mma have to fight for this
I feel motherfuckers they goin' say I'm wrong
I feel niggaz goin' get buck when they hear my song
I feel like puttin' 20's on up in my car
I feel like taking these bitch niggaz to war
I feel I deserve me a platinum plaque
I feel I shouldn't have to ask for that
I feel y'all hos know a nigga want here
I feel y'all bitches know I'm holding my dick
I feel y'all know I'm bout to hit me a lick
I feel like goin' to Texas for me some brick
I feel the policeman making me sick
I feel like the law don't wanna see a nigga with shit
I feel like walking on my judgment now
I feel like on a budget now

Nigga I feel like that everything
I write somebody else will bite
I really think it's the south fresh
Tracks they be tight
I just can't explain
I feel like when two thousand come it'll be out my way
I feel like the Hot Boys them should be the president
I feel like burning up yo body to leave no evidence
I feel like money
Is the most important thing next to my seater
I feel like I should have
No bald head tramp up in my beamer
And I also feel that I'm also real
Ain't no rollie like my rollie
Noone live like I live
And I, I feel that I'm one of a kind
I feel like niggaz call shot
But they ain't got bitches like mine
I feel like tonight I'm goin' ride, ride
And if you feel you goin' die, die




Now baby, baby, baby what the deal
Respect my mind I'm just telling you how I feel
