Lyrics
Had this good feelin' when I got up today
Expressing a positive feeling upon waking up.
Like everything was cool so I went on my way
Feeling everything is fine, proceeding with the day.
I guess I walk with a bop so then this profiling cop
Walking confidently, attracting attention from a profiling police officer.
Now wait a minute G ayo don't tell me to stop
Resisting instructions from the police officer to stop.
So then this profiling cop with his profiling ass
Emphasizing the officer's inclination to profile individuals.
Figured the best thing he could do was find a cat to harass
The officer decides to harass someone (the speaker) based on assumptions.
That little kitten was me, not that one in the tree
The speaker is metaphorically a "kitten" facing harassment, emphasizing vulnerability.
The black one with the promise and the wish to be free
Describing the speaker as someone seeking freedom and with aspirations.
I mean damn policeman can't you leave me alone?
Questioning why the police can't leave the speaker alone.
I'm a prince plus important plus there's business I'm on
Asserting personal importance and engagement in meaningful activities.
See this racking I'm in it need somebody like me
Expressing a shared struggle and need for support.
All of us is concentrating on the things that we see
People are focused on their own concerns and observations.
How much we make so you see and grate
Reflecting on the pursuit of wealth and success.
You not making a slate, 'cause it's just in our fate
Rejecting judgment, as fate determines outcomes.
I refuse to get booze so just handle your thang
Choosing not to indulge in vices, advising others to focus on their own matters.
Yo what's happenin' today, yo we gotta bring back that
Seeking a return to a positive and uplifting atmosphere.
Feelin', what happened to that feelin'?
Expressing a longing for a lost positive emotion or vibe.
Good, feelin' don't you go, don't go inside
Encouraging the positive feeling to stay and not fade away.
Feelin' don't you go girl, don't you hide
Urging the positive feeling not to hide or disappear.
Feelin' don't you go, don't go inside
Repeating the plea for the positive feeling to endure.
Feelin' don't you go girl, don't you hide, feelin' don't you go, don't go inside
Continuing the encouragement for the positive feeling to stay and not fade.
