What I Feel/Issues
R. Kelly Lyrics

I'm sick and tired of the games you played
I'm fed up with you playing games with me.

Every move I make your ass got something to say
You always have something negative to say about everything I do.

Scandalize my name when you see it in the paper
You spread rumors and lies about me when you see my name in the paper.

Trying to turn it all around when it wasn't that way
You try to twist the truth to make it seem like I did something wrong when I didn't.

Everybody is trying to figure me out
Everyone is trying to understand who I am and what I'm about.

What the hell is wrong with y'all just let me live my life
Why can't you just let me live my life without judging or trying to control me?

I can't go one day without y'all in my face
I can't get any peace or privacy because people are always bothering me.

Y'all done lost y'all minds if you don't hear what I say
You're crazy if you can't understand or listen to me.

Cops chase me when I'm standing still
The police are after me even when I'm not doing anything wrong.

You know I ain't done shit wrong so why you want me in your cell
You know I'm innocent, so why are you trying to put me in jail?

You don't like my songs well it pays the bills
You may not like my music, but it makes me money.

And you cut me down 'cause I keep it real
You criticize me for being honest and true to myself.

Sometimes I want to fly far away from here
Sometimes I wish I could escape from all of this and start over somewhere else.

To another place it ain't worth these tears
I don't want to cry anymore, and leaving would be worth it.

Sometimes at night when I close my eyes
When I'm alone at night and I close my eyes...

I know the haters are busy making up hater lies
I know that people who hate me are spreading lies about me.

Sometimes I laugh trying to keep from crying
Sometimes I force myself to laugh because crying would only make things worse.

If I was plain out of love then tell me who could I trust
If I ever lost the ability to love, I wouldn't know who to trust.

See I work so hard just to get ahead
I have to work extremely hard in order to succeed.

If it wasn't for God I'd probably be dead
I owe my life to God, and I wouldn't have made it this far without Him.

Sometimes I think y'all trying to pull me down
Sometimes I feel like you're all trying to bring me down.

But y'all wasting your time I got you haters figured out
You haters are wasting your time because I know who you are and what you're trying to do.

If you had your way it'd be lock and key
If it were up to you, I would be locked up and my life would be over.

Everywhere I go trouble follows me
Trouble seems to follow me everywhere I go.

Where the hell is my father shit it hurts sometimes
I don't know where my father is, and it hurts me deeply sometimes.

There's a hole in me and it rocks my mind
There's a void inside of me that keeps causing me a great deal of pain.

Forgive me father for I have sinned
I'm asking God for forgiveness because I've done something wrong.

When was your last confession
When did you last confess your sins to God?

His true fears he left without a care
He left his true fears behind without even caring about them.

And that was more than I could bare
That hurt me more than I can express.

When you need my help I never tell you no
I'm always there for you when you need me, and I never say no.

When I need your love you got somewhere to go
But when I need your love and support, you're nowhere to be found.

I'm getting sick of this shit but I'm not gonna quit
I'm fed up with all of this, but I'm not going to give up.

I've come too far gotta keep my pockets thick
I've worked too hard to get where I am, and I need to keep making money.

I get mad as hell but that's ok
I get really angry sometimes, but that's okay.

Kick off these shoes 'cause I'm here to stay
I'm not going anywhere, so I might as well get comfortable.

I gotta let you know got no time to play
I need to tell you that I don't have time to waste on games.

So feel me and all that you hear me say
Listen to me and understand everything I'm saying to you.

What I'm building up you can't tear it down
You can't break down what I'm building up.

'cause it's built on solid Rockland ground
Because what I'm building is strong and solid.

We don't die, we multiply, hit after hit, living platinum style
We're not going anywhere, we're only getting bigger and better with each hit song.

Keep my head up high, looking toward the sky
I keep my head held high and stay positive.

Nothing in my view, hey I can fly
There's nothing stopping me from achieving my dreams.

Y'all just hate, I can't take no more
You all just hate me, and I can't deal with it anymore.

And if you feel me raise your hand and show
If you understand me and what I'm going through, show your support.

This is what I feel, ooh, this is what I feel
This is how I'm feeling right now.

Feel me, feel me, feel me, hey, hey feel, woo
Listen to me, really feel what I'm saying.

Westside tell me can you feel me, hey, oh
Westside do you understand me and what I'm going through?

Eastside tell me can you feel me, whoa, oh south
Eastside and South, do you feel me?

Southside tell me can you feel me
Southside, do you understand what I'm feeling?

Feel me, feel me
Listen to me, really feel what I'm saying.
