[00:01.092][Hook 1: Maimouna Youssef]
[00:17.846]It don't feel right, it don't feel right
[00:20.604]Don't feel it, don't feel it, can't feel it no more
[00:23.113]It don't feel right, it don't feel right
[00:25.911]Don't feel it, don't feel it, can't feel it no more
[00:28.493]Seems to me nowadays things have changed
[00:31.023]I don't know if I feel the same
[00:31.796]
[00:32.599][Verse 1: Black Thought]
[00:32.957]Yo, in the land of the unseen hand that holds trouble
[00:36.235]Theorize your game, it's difficult to roll a double
[00:38.752]The struggle ain't right up in your face, it's more subtle
[00:41.327]But it's still coming across like the bridge and tunnel vision
[00:44.390]I try to school these bucks, but they don't wanna listen
[00:46.924]That's the reason the system making this paper from the prison
[00:49.689]And that's the reason we living where they don't wanna visit
[00:52.142]Where the dope slanging, keep swangin' like Sonny Liston
[00:54.910]The money missing and there's mouths to feed
[00:56.912]Get the brain kicking, thinking of a thousand things
[00:59.433]Remember back in the days, when the kitchen had eggs
[01:02.454]And pancakes, chicken and greens and Kool Aid?
[01:04.963]When the refrigerator naked and the cupboard is bare
[01:07.472]People got to strip naked, stick 'em up in the air
[01:09.987]Was it lies when they told you wasn't nothing to fear?
[01:12.489]Something don't feel right out here
[01:13.287]
[01:14.112][Hook 1: Maimouna Youssef]
[01:15.114]It don't feel right, it don't feel right
[01:17.894]Don't feel it, don't feel it, can't feel it no more
[01:20.651]It don't feel right, it don't feel right
[01:23.159]Don't feel it, don't feel it, can't feel it no more
[01:25.914]Seems to me nowadays things have changed
[01:28.421]I don't know if I feel the same
[01:29.427]
[01:29.929][Verse 2: Black Thought]
[01:30.932]Look, my eyes open 'cause I'm really a watchman
[01:33.686]And when I'm writing my thoughts out, really, I'm boxing
[01:36.204]My main adversary any silly concoction
[01:38.972]Freeze your face like botulinum toxin
[01:41.505]If you ain't trying to get popped, then give me a option
[01:44.025]Helicopters chopping from Philly to Compton
[01:46.854]The Jones, the Richardsons, the Smiths and the Johnsons
[01:49.360]If you ain't saying nothing, you the system's accomplice
[01:51.896]It should play with your conscience, do away with the nonsense
[01:54.658]I'm overseeing anything within my circumference
[01:57.168]This ain't a press junket, I ain't seeking responses
[01:59.671]I stand where the people got the heat in they pockets
[02:02.430]You mesmerized by the calm nonchalantness
[02:05.151]I spin a dark web on some John Hitchcock shit
[02:07.668]If you ain't speaking your life, your rhyme's adopted
[02:10.175]If it don't feel right, then stop it, you know what I'm saying?
[02:10.929]
[02:11.681][Hook 2: Maimouna Youssef]

[02:23.260]Things don't feel right over here
[02:25.766]Lately, I ain't been seeing it clear
[02:28.361]It don't feel right, it don't feel right
[02:30.895]Don't feel it, don't feel it, can't feel it no more

[02:43.240][Verse 3: Black Thought]
[02:43.990]Yo, children working, weapon-producing
[02:47.064]Natural disaster got the planet in a panic
[02:49.922]We all got to make that living
[02:52.037]Sex, drugs, murder, politics and religion
[02:54.554]Forms of hustling, watch who you put all your trust in
[02:57.313]Worldwide, we coincide with who suffering
[02:59.823]Who never had shit and ain't got nothing
[03:02.109]But more struggling, it makes you wanna run up in the mother****in'
[03:05.396]Hot zone for a piece of the cake back
[03:07.656]I can't work for it, I can certainly take that
[03:10.462]I'm fired up, thinking about the payback, ASAP
[03:12.973]You **** around, be a enemy of the state, black
[03:15.482]Ill, but that's too real for TV
[03:18.008]It's crazy when you too real to be free
[03:20.564]If you don't got no paper, then steal this CD
[03:23.159]Listen, man, I'll let you know how it feel to be me
[03:23.676]
