J.Nolan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Uh, wooh, yeah
Uh, this feel good right? Right?
Uh, this feel good right? Yeah (Oh)
Yo, yo-yo-yo, yo, uh
Yeah, this for my college students that got too much homework to go
This for my single mothers trying to raise they kids on they own
This for my drug dealers stuck out here moving that dope
This for my broken-hearted people that need someone to hold, you know
You've got purpose, Lord knows you on a mission
And you still got the drive like the mini van I've been whipping
You just need you some keys, keys like a George Winston
So I had to Michael Bivins and give them that New Edition, listen
To plant my seeds I had to dig deeper in me, uh
Practice what I preach, but I reap what I sow
Follow the yellow brick road, keep my heart in the dream
I grew up watching Wiz Khalifa rapping on the TV
So I walked to school with snap backs and chains round my belt
Until I realized I was chained up from being myself
I ain't a cool kid, but now my mind is set free
That's like a cool summer breeze to make my cypher complete, see
Ooh, when I feel I'm falling
I pick my feet up, keep on balling
Feeling good, feeling good, feeling great
Like I should ain't nobody gonna bring me down
Feeling good, feeling good, feeling great
Like I should ain't nobody gonna bring me down
Yeah, this for my rich folks tryna buy themselves new friends
This for my poor people still working on meeting them ends
This for my starving hungry artists that ain't got no fans
So I had to bring the band out to make y'all dance
You feel good now? Prob'ly not the old geezers
They don't like that ratchet rappity rap the youngins kicking
My music ain't hitting, they don't feel it, that slim pickings
Girl is tripping, nah she don't hit my line it got me simping like
I hate seeing you like this baby
When you're feeling down it drive me crazy
Baby no this ain't a diss track
This a song letting you know I always got your back
My cousin getting cash now, my aunt vibing at the jazz club (Wooh)
Fire-K on the boards, he the master (What up, Matt?)
As for me, catch me chilling down on Peebles Street
I let Sunday hit the chorus now the cypher complete, peace
Ooh (Yeah) when I feel I'm falling (Uh, yeah)
I pick my feet up, keep on balling (Keep balling, uh)
Finally I'm in love with me
Yeah, I'm one of a kind
Finally I've got a peace of mind
Feeling good, feeling good, feeling great (Feeling great, uh)
Like I should ain't nobody gonna bring me down, oh yeah, yeah (Yeah, uh)
Feeling good, feeling good, feeling great (Feeling great)
Like I should ain't nobody gonna bring me down (No, uh)
Feeling good, feeling good, feeling great (Oh!)
Like I should ain't nobody gonna bring me down (Yeah, lets go)
Wooh! Yeah, wooh, c'mon
Feeling great, uh, feeling good, feeling good, feeling great like
Wooh! Yeah-ha, uh-huh
You feel good right? Uh, yeah
You feel good right? Yeah




Feeling good, feeling good, feeling great
Yeah, uh-huh

Incredible. Think of you everyday, Nolan.

Brooklyn EnglishBulldog

I just discovered this amazing taleted young man while watching Acapop. I went to find the individual singers I noticed him right off the bat by the personality that popped through the screne and googled His name.
Was shocked to find out he had passed.
The world has definitely lost a truely special young man.
Thanks Mom and Dadfor continuing to release his songs and showcase his God given talent.
Hugs from a Gran of 5

I cannot express how full my heart feels hearing him sing ❤️

xlilcoffin

it's amazing

We were both in the same theatre group called Break A Leg. The way he sang moved me. He inspired me to be a better person, and he was truly an amazing, genuine, and generous person, and friend. Every time he sang, I remember getting the chills, and that is something I will never forget. The incredible time I spent with him acting, and singing is something I will truly cherish forever. He had an amazing talent, and I looked up to him a lot. My goal is to remember his legacy, and keep his talent alive. I can tell he will do wonderful things even though he is no longer with us. His legacy will live on.
