Feel Good
N.O.B.A. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Intro]
Oh whoa
They say life's for livin'
Well I don't feel so good today
I guess I'll drift away
I just get this feelin'
Because this system is a cage
Like the prison gates
And if you don't feel it
Then how come Independence Day
Is just a holiday

[Chorus]
I get the feeling that this boat (I feel this boat)
Is a type of sink, cause it can't float (it can not float)
And I get the feeling that we're close (I feel we're close)
To the end of the thing that we all know (that we all know)

[Verse 1]
Well excuse my expression
But I don't give a fuck today
So there's not much to say
Hey
Well I went to my bed
But crazy thoughts kept running through my head
I need some Sudafed
Well if you were my mirror
Then you would see a very sad look on my face
The life of Bobby Ray
Hey

[Chorus]
I get the feeling that this boat (I feel this boat)
Is a type of sink, cause it can't float (it can not float)
And I get the feeling that we're close (I feel we're close)
To the end of the thing that we all know (that we all know)

[Verse 2]
Well if I gave you a few words to show my most genuine emotion
They would not describe the way I feel inside
Actually you would have to experience an explosion
So I, just learn to control 'em
Keep my spirit high to keep my gundilini flowin'
Through the the 7-point chakra system
From my toes to the top of my head
And in between my shoulders
If ya don't know than you probably can't focus
On nothin' but it's easy, so your mind ain't yours
You're getting lied to and you don't even know it! (Damn)
The youths so blind but they eyes wide open

[Chorus]
I get the feeling that this boat (I feel this boat)
Is a type of sink, cause it can't float (it can not float)




And I get the feeling that we're close (I feel we're close)
To the end of the thing that we all know (that we all know)
