[Verse 1: Wax]

I'm addicted to these beats, a slave to the rhythm

Sometimes my home studio becomes my own prison

I'm thankful I've been given this crazy life I'm living

But the walls get closer when you constantly within 'em

I get driven insane, my brain gets a little blurry

Groundhog Day, I start to feel like Bill Murray

I still worry about my own mental health

But when I'm on tour, man, I check myself

I did a show last week in a town called Houston

Met a young fan who told me that my songs moved him

Said that when he listens to 'em that they talk to him

'Cause the same problems that he's going though I've gone through 'em

I guess we're all human, and not that different

And compared to myself my music is more significant

So when he asked me how I feel

I kept it real when I told him the deal

I said it feels good


[Chorus: Breezy Lovejoy]

Yeah, that's that right there

And it feels so good to be around

You know the high when you walking in the sky, both feet on a cloud

It just feels so good, feels so good, feels so good

Can't be mad about it


[Verse 2: Wax]

This rat race'll make you move at such a hurried pace

You'll forget to stop and appreciate your current place

Man, I'm tryna look around more

Treasure the sound more when I hear the crowd roar

I know talented musicians on the ground floor

Looking up at me like "What the fuck you feeling down for?

How come compared to smiling you always frown more?

Pussy, I'm at UPS, working, wearing these brown shorts"

So now I take it to heart

And come from a different angle when I'm making my art

My shit might never make it to a chart

But of this rap game that ain't never been my favorite part

So every new day that I start off by bitchin'

I think of all the dishes in the restaurant kitchen that I used to wash to get a meal

And re-evaluate how I feel and it feels good


[Chorus: Breezy Lovejoy]

Yeah, that's that right there

And it feels so good to be around

You know the high when you walking in the sky, both feet on a cloud

It just feels so good, feels so good, feels so good

Can't be mad about it


[Verse 3: Wax]

I count my blessings like a salad chef counts his dressings

And always find the smallest are the best things

A song that takes away the shit that stress brings

With my man E, greatest on the boards like chess kings

Tell the dudes from the label I'll have food on my table regardless

Thick skin, you can't scar this

You harmless, you ain't the reason that I started this

You ask me how I feel, I say I'm motherfucking marvelous

Everything that I build, all home grown

IKEA, we assembling our own thrones

Glass jaws gon' fall when they throw stones

We crush rocks with titanium nose bones

You ain't gonna fuckin' take out Mike Jones, holmes

And when they put me in the old folks home

And ask me how I feel there

I pop a wheelie on my wheelchair and tell 'em that it feels good


[Chorus: Breezy Lovejoy]

Yeah, that's that right there

And it feels so good to be around

You know the high when you walking in the sky, both feet on a cloud

It just feels so good, feels so good, feels so good

Can't be mad about it


[Outro]

Yeah

So back in 2008

I did an album with my man EOM called Liquid Courage

EOM is responsible as well for the track you're hearing right now

Anyway, on that album, on the first song

I said that if that album failed I would move to Hawaii and drink 'til I die

Well, it's five years later

And I've never even been to Hawaii, I'd love to go there

I'm, I've always dreamed of going there, I'm sure it's a beautiful place

But that album wasn't a failure

And nothing I've ever done has been a failure

It's just some shit I did

And the next thing I do

Will just be another thing that adds on to that pile of shit

So I'd like to end this album appropriately

By proposing another toast

To all my people listening

All my people who helped me along the way

My friends, my families, my fellow musicians, cheers

Cheers to failure

Drink up

And be safe out there
