The Feel
Mistah F.A.B. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Live your life in a crawl space
I'll help you out but you don't want a chance at a better life
You said you never took a ride and now you wanna play
Well, it's a big, big city let me show you around some time
Oh, some time
And now you crossed that line
Tell me how does it feel now
It's too late too much to forget about
Can't stop now
How does it feel now
I'm only asking because I wanna know
How...you...wanna...feel
Well, I'm a wreck
I'm a mess
I'm a spot on the pavement
I'm a number on your wall
I make you so tired
And I don't think I like this game no more
It goes around and round and round
I'll tell you one more time
Yeah, one more time
And now you crossed that line
You can't come back
Tell me how does it feel now
It's too late too much to forget about
Can't stop now
How does it feel now
I'm only asking because I wanna know
How...you...wanna...feel
How you wanna feel
And now you crossed that line
You can't come back
Tell me how does it feel now
It's too late too much to forget about
Can't stop now
How does it feel now
I'm only asking because I wanna know
How...you...wanna...feel
How...you...wanna...feel
How...you...wanna...feel
The Feel by Mistah F.A.B. is a song that talks about the consequences of one's actions leading to being cut off from a once familiar, comforting environment. The opening lines, "What you want, what you got, live your life in a crawl space, I'll help you out but you don't want a chance at a better life," voice the singer's willingness to assist someone, but they aren't willing to take a risk or make a change that can lead to a better life. The singer is willing to show them around the city but disheartened by their lack of motivation.
The chorus "tell me how does it feel now, it's too late too much to forget about, can't stop now, how does it feel now, I'm only asking because I wanna know, how you wanna feel," speaks of the consequences of your action that you cannot forget. A line that perhaps hits home the most "And now you crossed that line, you can't come back," implies that the person has gone too far and cannot return to their previous state of mind.
The second verse furthers this message, with the singer comparing themselves to a "spot on the pavement" and a "number on your wall." They have become insignificant and repetitive, leading them to grow tired of playing this game. Despite this, the singer still asks how the person wants to feel, showing their concern and perhaps hope for a better future. The instrumentals of the song play a significant role in conveying emotions as they switch between slow and fast-paced music, reflecting the feelings of hope and loss.
