How It Feels
Tripping Through Life: Joey Flats' Raw Emotion in 'How It Feels'
Lyrics
I'll tell you how it feels
Describing the act of explaining the emotional experience
When you tripping off them pills
Being under the influence of pills and experiencing the effects
And you living sitting real real low
Living in a challenging and harsh reality, possibly due to drug use
Gotta get a meal
Struggling to secure basic needs, emphasizing the importance of getting a meal
I been sitting in the field
Sitting in a metaphorical field, reflecting on life and its challenges
On a mission it's been real real cold
Being on a challenging mission or journey in life, enduring harsh conditions
I'll tell you how it feels
Repeating the description of the emotional experience for emphasis
When you tripping off them pills
Reiteration of being under the influence of pills and its impact
And you living sitting real real low
Re-emphasizing the difficult living conditions due to drug use
Gotta get a meal
Reinforcing the struggle to obtain a meal
I been sitting in the field
Continuation of reflection in a metaphorical field
On a mission it's been real real cold
Persisting on a challenging life journey under difficult circumstances
I'll tell you how it feels
Repeating the act of describing the emotional experience
When you tripping off them pills
Reiterating the impact of being under the influence of pills
And you living sitting real real low
Re-emphasizing the tough living conditions due to drug use
Gotta get a meal
Stressing the importance of securing a meal in challenging circumstances
I been sitting in the field
Continuation of the reflection in a metaphorical field
On a mission it's been real real cold
Perseverance on a challenging life journey despite harsh conditions
I owe it to my family for keeping me up
Acknowledging gratitude to family for support and encouragement
I owe so many people now for holding me down
Expressing indebtedness to various people for standing by during tough times
Every time I thought I'd crash you help me over the rut
Recalling instances where support helped overcome challenges
If only I could feel a thing I might just be proud
Reflecting on an emotional numbness that prevents feeling pride
I know my people always ride for me when I go to war
Acknowledging the loyalty of people during difficult situations
Carbon 9 with extendo boy we blow right through your door
Referencing a powerful weapon and readiness for confrontation
They know I'm back on my bully
Asserting a return to a more aggressive and assertive attitude
So dog if you moving my people gon pull it
Warning that there will be consequences if someone threatens the speaker
They know I'm back on my bully
Reiterating the return to a more assertive and aggressive demeanor
So dog if you moving my people gon pull it, I'm pulling it
Stressing the readiness of the speaker's associates to take action
I'll tell you how it feels
Repeating the act of describing the emotional experience
When you tripping off them pills
Reiteration of the impact of being under the influence of pills
And you living sitting real real low
Re-emphasizing the tough living conditions due to drug use
Gotta get a meal
Stressing the importance of securing a meal in challenging circumstances
I been sitting in the field
Continuation of the reflection in a metaphorical field
On a mission it's been real real cold
Perseverance on a challenging life journey despite harsh conditions
I'll tell you how it feels
Repeating the act of describing the emotional experience
When you tripping off them pills
Reiterating the impact of being under the influence of pills
And you living sitting real real low
Re-emphasizing the tough living conditions due to drug use
Gotta get a meal
Stressing the importance of securing a meal in challenging circumstances
I been sitting in the field
Continuation of the reflection in a metaphorical field
On a mission it's been real real cold
Perseverance on a challenging life journey despite harsh conditions
