[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.
