Feel So Alive
Skepta N-Dubz Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah
Skepta
Boy Betterknow
N-Dubz

I never have a dream when I go to sleep at night
My dream begins when I walk outside
Now I'm on stage and I feel like I'm looking through Michael Jacksons eyes
Stories, rumours and accusations
So I gotta stay self conscious of my hand gestures
Before they call me a Mason or say that I'm working with Satan
But even a blind man could see
I would never sell my soul for the P
When you're looking at Skepta, you're looking at grime
So the only thing I gotta stay true to is me
I don't need a helping hand
Stand up tall, I'm my own man
Find me on the tallest building in the country singing as loud as I can

I-I feel so alive, so alive
(S-K-E-P-T-A)
Got my two feet on the ground
But it feels like I'm in the sky
It's time to enjoy the sun
'Cause we made it through the rain
Put your hands up in the sky
Like you're tryna touch a plane
I-I feel so alive, so alive

(Boy Better Know oh-oh, yeah)

Shit what have I done
Raa, everyone singing along to my bars man
Went triple platinum, see me I'm trying to do what Elvis done
And the stage is way too big for me
Labels never thought this guy from the ghetto could make all these girls sing for me
Nana, nana, nana, na ee
I got a big NANA chain hanging down to my navel
Tell the bartender "take a fat bottle of champagne to Polydor's table"
Big men acting like school kids
Say there gonna run up on me with a full clip
So I pull down the two flaps on my hat
'Cause I didn't want to hear that bullshit

I-I feel so alive, so alive
(D-A-Double P-to-the-Z)
Got my two feet on the ground
But it feels like I'm in the sky
It's time to enjoy the sun
'Cause we made it through the rain
Put your hands up in the sky
Like you're tryna touch a plane
I-I feel so alive, so alive (nana, nana, nana, na ee)

It's time to get dark, blacker than Cilla
Fazer aka 6 figure nigga
Man said I got robbed for my chain
Until I put a picture on Skepta's twitter
When I go to the Gucci store I dress rags
Security think that I ain't gonna buy shit
Then I pull out my card, swipe it, bowl out with 20 bags
If I like them, cop them
Fuck the hater, can't stop them
Mc's wanna diss N-Dubz, but they can't get a top twenty let alone a top ten
So if it weren't for the fans
I woulda had a haters blood on my hands
I'm a mastermind behind the keyboard
So I'm a carry on stacking up these grands

I-I feel so alive, so alive
(D-A-Double P-to-the-Z)
Got my two feet on the ground
But it feels like I'm in the sky
It's time to enjoy the sun
'Cause we made it through the rain
Put your hands up in the sky




Like you're tryna touch a plane
I feel so alive, so alive (nana, nana, nana, na ee)

Overall Meaning

The song "Feel So Alive" by Skepta and N-Dubz is a reflection on the artists' experience of achieving success and fame in the music industry. Skepta begins his verse by confessing that he never dreams at night, but his dreams come true when he walks outside. He feels that he is in Michael Jackson's shoes when he performs on stage. However, he also acknowledges that fame comes with rumors, accusations, and scrutiny. He must be self-conscious of his every move to maintain his reputation, as people might question his intentions or label him as a Masonic disciple.


Skepta also speaks about his pride in being a grime artist and how he strives to remain true to himself. He does not need anyone's help and stands tall as an individual, singing confidently on top of a tall building. He feels that he has come a long way from the ghetto and has achieved more than he ever thought possible. He even talks about his flamboyant lifestyle, telling the bartender to send a bottle of champagne to Polydor's table. He doesn't care about the haters and is confident that he can buy anything he wants, even if he dresses in rags while doing so.


The chorus of the song ("I feel so alive, so alive. Got my two feet on the ground, but it feels like I'm in the sky. It's time to enjoy the sun 'cause we made it through the rain") talks about the joy of achieving success and the freedom it brings. Despite all the challenges, the artists celebrate their achievements and encourage their fans to join in by raising their hands in the sky.

lets analyse the nonsense /lies many amongst you believe in:
lie: schools are of use (fact. schools keep slavery alive and stands for dumbing down the population of mankind)
lie: moon and mars landings, (fact: even masons know they cannot leave)
lie: news channels share truth (fact: these are for politic propaganda)
lie: money has a value of its own (fact: it is just a tool of this world, which value has been agreed upon world wide)
lie: NASA lies (globe and all....) (fact: NASA stands for to deceive) - you havnΒ΄t searched - have you?
lie: the lgbtq++++ propaganda (fact: it is a part of masonry depopulation agenda, 500 000 000 souls, thats their goal.)
lie: Evolution and the dinosaurs. (fact: mankind is not hybrid kind)
to keep stating that there was an evolution, then we ainΒ΄t humans, we aint then mankind, we are then hybrids.
Lie: holidays (xmas, halloween, new year eve and so on) (fact: PAGAN HOLIDAYS, to praise BAAL, the god of this world)
lie: U.F.Os (fact: they are demons/evil spirits in high places, against whom we fight daily = spiritual warfare)
lie: rules and laws rule the world (fact: signs and symbols of masonry do)

10 lies, should i go on?
