Chorus: Erykah Badu (repeat 2X)

If you were worried ’bout where
I been or who I saw or
what club I went to with my homies
baby don’t worry you know that you got me

(Black Thought)
Somebody told me that this planet was small
we use to live in the same building on the same floor
and never met before
until I’m overseas on tour
and peep this ethiopian queen from philly
taking classes abroad
she studying film and photo flash focus record
said she workin on a flick and
could my click do the score
she said she loved my show in paris
at Elysee Montmartre
and that I stepped off the stage
and took a piece of her heart
we knew from the start that
things fall apart, intentions shatter
she like that shit don’t matter
when I get home get at her
through letter, phone, whatever
let’s link, let’s get together
shit you think not, think the Thought went home and forgot
time passed, we back in philly now she up in my spa
tellin me the things I’m tellin her is makin her hot
startin buildin with her constantly round the clock
now she in my world like hip-hop
and keep tellin me

Chorus

[Black Thought]
Yo, I’m the type that’s always catchin a flight
and sometimes I gotta be out at the height of the night
and that’s when she flip and get on some ’ol

[Eve]
Another lonely night
seems like I’m on the side you only loving your mic
I know you gotta get that paper daddy keep that shit tight
but yo I need some sort of love in my life, you dig me
while politicin with my sister from new york city
she said she know this ball player and he think I’m pretty
Psych, I’m playin boo, you know it’s just wit you I’m stayin boo
and when cats be poppin game I don’t hear what they sayin boo
when you out there in the world, I’m still your girl
with all my classes I don’t have the time for life’s thrills
so when you sweatin on stage think of me when you rhyme
and don’t be listenin to your homies they be leavin you blind

[Black] Yeah, so what you sayin I can trust you?
[Eve] Is you crazy, you my king for real
[Both] But sometimes relationships get ill
[Eve] No doubt

Chorus

[Black Thought]
Thet snake could be that chick
and that rat could be that cool cat
that’s whispering ″she tryin to play you for the fool Black″
if something’s on your chest then let it be known
see I’m not your every five minutes all on the phone
and on the topic of trust, it’s just a matter of fact
that people bite back and fracture what’s intact
and they’ll forever be I ain’t on some ″oh I’m a celebrity″
I deal with the real so if it’s artificial let it be
I’ve seen people caught in love like whirlwinds
listening to they squads and listening to girlfriends
that’s exactly the point where they whole world ends
lies come in, that’s where that drama begins, she like

Chorus: repeat until fade

[Chorus:]
It Don't Feel Right, it Don't Feel Right
It Don't Feel, it Don't Feel, I can't feel it no more
It Don't Feel Right, it Don't Feel Right
It Don't Feel, It Don't Feel, I don't feel it no more
Seems to me now a days things have changed
I don't know if I feel the same.

[Verse 1: Black Thought]
Yo, in the land of the unseen hand that hold trouble
Theorize your game - it's difficult to roll a double
The struggle ain't right up in your face, it's more subtle
But it's still comin' across like the bridge & tunnel vision
I try to school these bucks, but they don't wanna listen
That's the reason the system makin' it's paper from the prison
And that's the reason we livin' where they don't wanna visit
Where the dope slang & keep swayin' like Sonny Liston
The money missin' & it's mouths to feed
Get the brain kickin' thinkin' of a thousand things
Remember back in the days, when the kitchen had eggs
And pancakes, thickenin', greens and Kool Aid
When the ‘fridgerator naked then the cupboard is bare
People got to strip naked, stick ‘em up in the air
Was it lies when they told you wasn't nothin' to fear?
Somethin' Don't Feel Right out here. You know what I'm sayin'? Check it out.

[Chorus:]
It Don't Feel Right, it Don't Feel Right
It Don't Feel, it Don't Feel, I can't feel it no more
It Don't Feel Right, it Don't Feel Right
It Don't Feel, it Don't Feel, I can't feel it no more
Seems to me now a days things have changed
I don't know if I feel the same.

[Verse 2: Black Thought]
Look, my eyes open ‘cause I'm really a watchman
And when I'm writin' my thoughts out, really I'm boxin'
My main adversary in this silly concoction
Freeze your face like bosilium toxin'
If you ain't tryin' to get popped, then give me a option
Helicopters choppin' from Philly to Compton
The Jones' the Richardsons, the Smith's & the Johnson's
If you ain't sayin' nothin' you the system's accomplice
It should play with your conscience, do away with the nonsense
I'm overseein' anything within' my circumference
This ain't a press junket, I ain't seekin' responses
I stand where the people got the heat in they pocket
You mezmerized by the calm nonchalant-ness
I spit a dark web, on some John Hitchcock shit
If you ain't speakin' your life, your rhyme's adopted
If it Don't Feel Right, then stop it. You know what I'm sayin'?

It Don't Feel Right, it Don't Feel Right
It Don't Feel, it Don't Feel, I can't feel it no more
It Don't Feel Right, it Don't Feel Right
It Don't Feel, it Don't Feel, I don't feel it no more
Things don't feel right over here
Lately I ain't been seein' clear
It Don't Feel Right, it Don't Feel Right
It Don't Feel, it Don't Feel, I can't feel it no more
It Don't Feel Right, it Don't Feel Right
It Don't Feel, it Don't Feel, I can't feel it no more
Seems to me now a days things have changed
I don't know if I feel the same.

[Verse 3: Black Thought]
Yo' children workin' weapon producin'
Natural disaster got the planet in a panic yo
We all gots to make that livin'
Sex, drugs, murder, politics & religion
Forms of hustlin' watch who you put all your trust in
Worldwide, we coincide with who sufferin'
Who never had shit & ain't got nothin'
But most strugglin' & make you wanna run up in the muh' fuckin'
Hot zone for a piece of the cake back
I can't work for it, I can certainly take that
I'm fired up, thinkin' about the payback, except
You fuck around & be a enemy of the state, black
Ill, but that'd be too real for TV
It's crazy when you too real to be free
If you don't got no paper then steal this CD
Listen man, I'll let you know how it feel to be me, it Don't Feel.

It Don't Feel Right, it Don't Feel Right
It Don't Feel, it Don't Feel, I can't feel it no more
It Don't Feel Right, it Don't Feel Right
It Don't Feel, it Don't Feel, I don't feel it no more
Things don't feel right over here
Lately I ain't been seein' clear
It Don't Feel Right, it Don't Feel Right
It Don't Feel, it Don't Feel, I can't feel it no more
It Don't Feel Right, it Don't Feel Right
It Don't Feel, it Don't Feel, I can't feel it no more
Seems to me now a days things have changed
I don't know if I feel the same.
