lyrics

[Intro - Phelix]
To keep it real
I ain't been feelin ..
To keep it real, I ain't been feelin too strong lately
I ain't been feelin too strong lately
Yea

[Verse - Phelix]
To keep it real, I ain't been feelin too strong lately
Might see me flexin, but this weight got me close to breakin
I'm in a underworld, playin a game of tug-of-war
My eyes watering, trying to weather this thunderstorm
Got enemies takin shots at me to up the score
But bullets can't graze when your aim is amateur
Immature, uniformed, outdated dinosaurs
Frontin like they really know the know but they so uninformed
Let me break it down for you and catch you up to speed
The closest to ya, is gon hurt ya, the first cut is deep
Watch for the slight of hands, the truth ain't always what it seems
They pass the joint but I pass, that ain't my cup of tea
I'd rather pour a cup of whiskey with some ginger ale
Exceed my limits till I'm tipsy off the Richter scale
Life ain't no wishing well, this life is gonna give you hell
And break your back for this cash like it's the NFL
Been thinkin bout all of my nieces
They growin oh so fast, it's gettin hard to believe it
I love all of 'em dearly, hope they hear it sincerely
I know that home get quiet, we get lost in the TV
I'm guilty
The block ain't been the same since the recession hit
My cousin was a house away, he'd offer mentorship
Used to visit all the time to talk music and politics
He the first Felix to graduate off a scholarship
For that I'm proud of him .. congratulations!
You made yourself quite a life to reflect on
Viva La Presa! No matter where we go from here
Skies the limit, fuck a ceiling, break a chandelier
I could've been another victim in the system
Had friends who had names, now they callin 'em statistics
Where the love at? Cuz in the hood it's often missin
Gangs shootin and killin, got cemeteries in business
Cops doin the same, there ain't really much difference
They say it's self-defense, but who you kiddin?
These eyes don't lie, but these laws do bind
In favor of politicians who can profit off crime
So why ask why when the truth is right in front of you?
The best teacher is love and ain't no substitute
World gone mad, but my fam keep me humble though
"Cada mente es un mundo", that's my mother's quote
She said the truest wealth is knowledge of self
And heavy is the crown so I pass it around
If I eat, you eat, we all sharing the throne
Cuz what's a king without a team? I can't do it alone
NOOO! It don't work like that
My pops would be ashamed if I didn't act with class
He a true OG, always got your back
Who else you know water grass in some creased up slacks?
Holla at 'em Joe!
Peace sign, home-run like I'm Sam Sosa
Turn on the grill, let's invite the whole fam over
Let's connect and show love to see what we about
Cuz clicking "likes" on a picture don't fuckin count
Flashbacks to my childhood back in '94
A passenger in an Acura with my big bro
Cruisin the city, listenin to Biggie
My mind blown up the first time I heard "Juicy"
"Baby-babyyy"
Now who fuckin with that?
Cuz it was that exact day Phelix wanted to rap
Now look where I'm at
What a marvelous thing
You can say I dreamed BIG since BIG had a dream
And R.I.P to the beloved cuz we miss ya
And though we distant, it's your essence that's within us
We wouldn't be us if it weren't for your blessings
A shame planes can't fly to heaven
I can feel your presence

[Chorus - Parrish]
All I, all I, all I, all I
All I
All I, all I ever needed, needed, need
Was your presence
All I, all I
All I
All I, all I ever needed, needed, need
Was your presence

[Outro - Phelix]
In loving memory of Briana
May the heavens protect you and keep you happy
Till we meet again
Love you Bri Bri
