Feelin' Alright
Len Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Its early in the morning and I'm feeling kind of dumb
I'm tryin' real hard but I'm having no fun
I'm looking all around and everything looks the same
It's like being the smartest kid in class and having no brain.

Sharon's right beside me
Yeah I feel it too. and if you weren't my little brother I'll take it out on you
And d rock and moves just lost their fat mad flow
It's just a matter of time before my brains all broke.

My brains all broken, but I'm feelin' alright,
I feel like I'm chokin', but I'm feelin' alright,
I'm goin' down fast, but I'm feelin' alright,
I'm not gonna last, but I'm feelin' alright.
Feelin' alright.

Bad days are givin' me the creeps,
And when I have them all I want to do is freak,
And sometimes I don't feel really strong
Enough to deal with bad days cause they last too long.

We've been thinking hard and figuring out what to make
Of all this stupid shit that makes you not think straight,
So should we just quit?
No, its not cool to run,
Well you know, I think she's right,
Let's show em how it's done.

'Cause it's not just a matter of straight up holding your ground,
It's all about your crew and the vibe you put down,
So if we're all here, what's this about a bad day?
We're not going to take it sitting down, no way.

My brains all broken, but I'm feelin' alright,
I feel like I'm chokin', but I'm feelin' alright,
I'm goin' down fast, but I'm feelin' alright,
I'm not gonna last, but I'm feelin' alright.
Feelin alright.

Bad days are givin me the creeps,
And when I have them all I want to do is freak,




And sometimes I don't feel really strong
Enough to deal with bad days cause they last too long.
