[Intro]
You know they say history repeats itself
So, right now it’s like 1959
I’m in the booth I’m just
Feeling like Miles Davis
Feeling like Miles Davis
Yeah, kinda blue, so what
[Verse 1]
Feeling like Miles Davis, they don’t want to see me evolve
Tryna box me in 'cause they don’t want to see me go far
Making music, tryna let my people know who we are
Institutionalized thinking got’em frozen
Feeling like Miles Davis, victim of a stereotype
Yeah, I’m young and black with dreadlocks
But you don’t know my life
Not a pistol packing, crack slanging, gang banging
Set claiming corner hanging, youngin don’t get caught in the hype
Feeling like Miles Davis, they love my style and flavas
I match my Mission Vision hoodie with crocodile gators
I got that New Orleans in me, they love when I say "Baby"
Don’t need a clique, I’m a one man army, better yet a navy
Feeling like Miles Davis. music is my gift and my curse
'Cause my verses blessing people everywhere on this Earth
But the only thing I ever think about is my work
It drives me crazy, wonder how much is my sanity worth
[Chorus]
Feeling like Miles Davis
Feeling like Miles Davis
Feeling like Miles Davis
Feeling like Miles Davis
(Feeling like, feeling like)
Feeling like Miles Davis
(Feeling like, feeling like) I promise
Feeling like Miles Davis
How much is my sanity worth?
Feeling like, feeling like
[Verse 2]
Feeling like Miles Davis, I be rocking these stages
It don’t matter they races, it don’t matter they ages
But I don’t do it for approval, so keep your praises
Just praise the Savior, thank Him daily for His heavenly graces
Feeling like Miles Davis 'cause I be going through it
Got friends who do me dirty after I keep it the truest
Feel like I got my opportunity and then I blew it
Some nights I cry, I’m not gone lie I... Look
[Verse 3]
Feeling like Miles Davis, master my methods homie
Ask Kendrick, Cole, Lupe, Lecrae, I’m well-respected homie
Got fans from Cali to New York and they be checking for me
Chicago, DC, New Orleans, and down in Texas homie
Feeling like Miles Davis, they gon' miss me when I’m gone
I post up on couches anywhere, boy, I ain’t got no home
Uno is a rolling stone, married to this microphone
How the whole world love you but you still feel alone?
Damn
[Chorus]
Feeling like Miles Davis
Feeling like Miles Davis
Feeling like Miles Davis
Feeling like Miles Davis
(Feeling like, feeling like)
Feeling like Miles Davis
(Feeling like, feeling like) I promise
Feeling like Miles Davis
How much is my sanity worth?
Feeling like, feeling like
