Overall Meaning

In Spice 1 Ft. E-40's song Can U Feel It, the lyrics paint a violent picture with the use of aggressive, gun-themed language. The opening lines of the song set the tone with Spice 1's declaration that he is the "murder weapon," equipped with a loaded gun and ready to take out anyone who crosses him. He uses the metaphor of Noah floating across the river to paint himself as a sort of savior or survivor in the dangerous world he inhabits. The chorus asks the listener if they can feel the intensity of the lyrics and if they can relate to the mindset of the artists.


In the second verse, E-40 continues the violent theme with references to guns and shootings. He boasts about his shooting skills and threatens anyone who tries to come at him or his crew. He also takes aim at those who underestimate him, declaring that they will be in for a surprise when they realize he is not to be messed with. The final verse, performed by Spice 1 again, continues the violent imagery, describing him taking out his enemies with a gun and leaving their brains on the couch.


The lyrics of this song reflect the harsh realities of gang life in the early 90s in the Bay Area, where both Spice 1 and E-40 come from. They offer a glimpse into the dangerous and violent world that these artists and their communities were living in. The song's title can be interpreted as a challenge to the listener - are you tough enough to handle this world and feel the intensity of these lyrics?
