Marcelo D2 started his carrer as the lead singer of the band Planet Hemp, and now follows a solo career since 1998, but claiming that "I haven't given in yet, only joined a foe I can't beat". His first solo release was Eu tiro é onda (a Carioca slang that means "I'm the best"), recorded in his own studio by David Corcos and mixed in New York and Los Angeles by Carlos Bass. This release was very well accepted by the public and the Hip-hop movement of São Paulo, for being innovative and making big names of the scene, such as Black Alien & Speed ,Zé Gonzalez, DJ Nuts and B.Negão, known in Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo. The hit wasn't bigger due to the fact of "not feeling comfortable away from his hometown"; he would soon become father of a boy, Lucas, bringing his career to a short pause.
Other hits were: O Império Contra-ataca (The Empire Strikes Back), A Maldição do Samba (The Curse of Samba), Qual é? (What's Up?), Loadeando (raw translation of "Loading"), and Mantenha o Respeito (Keep Respect). Most of these songs are about his childhood life.
Marcelo D2 also appeared as a guest performer on two tracks of Sergio Mendes's album Timeless, as well as producing songs for the OST of the film A Taça do Mundo é Nossa (The World Cup is Ours).
Trivia: "D2", among drug users in Brazil, means "to smoke marijuana".
Feeling Good
Marcelo D2 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In your mind in your head here and there
Feeling good
É que esse é um bom motivo pra escrever canções
Sei que tem várias maneiras de tocar os corações
São milhões...
É sempre bom ter você aqui por perto
Fico afiado e mais sagaz na escrita
Mesmo tendo coisas que não precisam ser ditas
O que gosto é a maneira que cê me dá atenção
E quando preciso sempre me estende a mão
É que me faz bem falar com você
Sorrir com você, criar com você
E até discutir com você
Quero dividir com você o que penso
Se penso pode ser pensamento sem que o clima fique tenso
Gosto de te ver dichavando e apertando meus becks
Mas quando é preciso regulando minha bag
Quero você aqui do meu lado, então vem, então vem
Com você do meu lado eu me sinto bem
E você, hein?
Feeling good all right now
In your mind in your heart here and there
Feeling good all right now
In your mind, in your eyes, everywhere
E eu me sinto bem também sem precisar de muita explicação
As melhores coisas você sabe que vêm do coração
Adoro o jeito que cê fala o meu nome
E de formar uma dupla a la cheech and chong, chapadão
Ouvir o que cê pensa, falar o que pensa
Um pouco de courtney e kurt, só que ainda mais intenso
Se de dia é gostosa, a noite é maravilhosa
Mas seu jogo é na retranca e a área é perigosa
É que eu gosto da sua pele, seu cheiro, sorriso
Mesmo sabendo que com isso meus compromissos
Chá pra lá, comigo você pode falar o que quiser
E se quiser eu tô aqui pra o que der e vier
Você também tá do meu lado pra tomar uma cerveja
Falando sério ou brincando, pronto pra qualquer parada
Vou te mostrar uns raps mesmo não sendo a sua
É que cê sabe, eu cresci mas continuo da rua, né?
Feeling good all right now
In your mind in your heart here and there
Feeling good all right now
In your mind, in your eyes, everywhere
You're like the coolest of the last few boyfriend I had
When I get to act quite lady like you joke and you laugh
You make me feel wide open you the only who sees me
Even the of thought of your touch can give me the heebie-jeebies
Yeah, yeah, we both laugh and shit like that...
Sometimes we do our petty shit sometimes we kick right back
I love that talk smack with you I never let you win
Cause we already know that happens when we star off you win
We get to yelling and we both ack like we just mad
That one thing let to next passion leads to the last
We play fighting, I'm just busting you all up in your head
And see how quick it turns to rolling all around in the bed

sinto uma puta felicidade de crescer acompanhando o amadurecimento de um d2 mais moleque e explosivo, para um d2 mais tranquilo, pai de família, e isso reflete no som com certeza, não dá pra comparar esse trabalho dele com os anteriores, porque já se trata de um outro d2 "e eu me sinto bem também, sem precisar de muita explicação"
