How Does It Feel - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

Yeah, lot of you miss the old me

The one who couldn't think for himself 'cause now you cannot control me (Can't control me)

And the big lights feel lonely

I just wanna drop songs, tell people what I'm on while keepin' low-key

[Pre-Chorus]

Yeah, 'cause this is bigger than they ever thought

Yeah, I'm on my way to the top

I done heard this is what everyone want

Yeah, buy it all, fuck all the cost

But I been worrying 'bout things that I lost

Worried 'bout brother, my sister and moms

Ever since she been away from my pops

[Chorus]

Yeah, like how do you feel?

When the fake love comes out, know it's real

And you scared to face the truth, don't wanna deal with it

Don't wanna be something

Just to keep running

When it won't heal nothing

[Verse 2]

Told my mama I'd be something

And I would never lie

During COVID, I was buried alive

And now everybody think that I'm fine

Only feel good when on the mic

I ain't even worried bout all the lights

I would be better off in the shade

I would be better out of the way

But this the shit that God made

Yeah, I wish you could feel the shit that I feel

It never feels real, oh, nah, nah, nah

Yeah, you like how it feels to grow up and build

When everything all starts, it's all falling down
