Felt
Emotional Echoes: Wu-Tang's Felt Resonance
Lyrics
I never gave a fuck on how the next nigga felt
I didn't care about how others felt about me.
I rocked a heavyweight belt cause that's the way I felt
I wore a heavyweight belt to reflect my confidence and self-perceived status.
Still feel, so inspired to write a rhyme that's ultimately
I continue to feel inspired to write rhymes that set me apart from other emcees.
No other emcee could get with me, is way I felt
No other emcee could match my skills, reinforcing my self-confidence.
Don't forget the first time you heard me rhyme the way
Recall the impact of hearing me rhyme for the first time.
The first time you heard "Protect Ya Neck", the way you felt
Reflecting on the impact of the first time "Protect Ya Neck" was heard.
Like no other hip hop record ever made you felt
No hip-hop record had a comparable impact on you.
Cards dealt, played my handle, when no matter how I felt
I played my cards regardless of my emotional state.
Every time we touch the mic, you know our lyrics is felt
Every time we perform, our lyrics resonate strongly.
Worldwide, live, polaroid shit, all my homies is
Our impact is felt worldwide through our authentic music.
And we ride out to all of our music is
We ride out to our own music, emphasizing its significance.
Yeah, we gets busy, teach the youth because we know how it felt
We engage with and educate the youth because we understand their experiences.
Give em Knowledge of self expressing in a way that it's felt
We provide knowledge in a way that deeply resonates with people.
So each and every person to recognize what they felt
Encouraging individuals to recognize and understand their own feelings.
Watch your mind state because the evil could be felt
Cautioning to be aware of one's mindset as negativity can be sensed.
You never know, how when I first came out, how my brothers felt
Reflecting on the reactions of others when I first entered the scene.
I've been going through it, plus a lot of deep pain was felt
Expressing personal struggles and the deep pain experienced.
We would last for a night, but a better tomorrow
Hope for a better future despite current challenges.
I felt the angel of death breathe
Feeling the presence of death.
When I felt the four fifths something told me squeeze
Sensing danger and acting instinctively with a firearm.
I felt like it was the end of a dynasty
Feeling as if a significant era is coming to an end.
Like I was fighting a clique of five Chinese thieves
Facing a formidable adversary, likened to a group of thieves.
Karate slippers with slip on's so I kept slippin'
Describing the difficulty in maintaining control, symbolized by slipping.
The floor was too smooth felt like I couldn't catch a grip in
Continuing to struggle, feeling unable to gain traction.
Felt like Dragonfly Jones, was dragonfly toned
Feeling vulnerable and reminiscent of a comedic character, Dragonfly Jones.
So I kept spitting, woke up when I heard the phone
Persisting despite challenges, waking up to reality.
I never gave a what on how the next rapper felt
Similar to line 1, emphasizing indifference to others' opinions.
I take that rapper's belt myself, I feel how Cappa felt
Taking the title from another rapper to assert dominance, akin to Cappadonna.
I don't really need help, use a sharpie, don't need the felt
Self-reliance, not needing assistance, using a marker instead of felt.
Marker, walk on water, I see how Jesus felt
Drawing parallels to miraculous feats, understanding the pressure.
No rhyme or reason, just bleeding, my every breathing's felt
Expressing raw emotion without a specific cause, the impact is tangible.
This about a thesis that even paraplegics felt
Discussing a profound idea that even those facing extreme challenges can understand.
These boys ain't needing, they barely breathing, believe it, seen it
Highlighting the struggles of others who are barely surviving.
Till you got cheated, you couldn't tell me how cheating felt
Reflecting on the emotional impact of betrayal and deceit.
I'm not a failure, I couldn't tell ya how losing felt
Asserting success and a lack of understanding of failure.
Might not have nailed her, but I can tell ya how spooning felt
Not achieving certain goals but understanding the comfort of closeness.
Remember when you first heard the rap and the way it felt
Revisiting the impact of hearing rap for the first time.
I burned the track with a murder rap and I know it's felt
Ending with a powerful statement about leaving a lasting impression through impactful rap.
