“Feelin'” is the opening track on Q-Tip’s Kamaal/The Abstract album. It’s one of not many tracks on the album proper that are driven by a drum machine. The song features an extended organ solo by Kelvin Sholar.
One might consider it a “pseudo-single” as prior to the planned release of the album in...
[Verse: Q-Tip]
Had this good feelin' when I got up today
Like everything was cool so I went on my way
I guess I walk with a bop so then this profiling cop
Now wait a minute G ayo don't tell me to stop
So then this profiling cop with his profiling ass
Figured the best thing he could do was find a cat to harass
That little kitten was me, not that one in the tree
The black one with the promise and the wish to be free
I mean damn policeman can't you leave me alone?
I'm a prince plus important plus there's business I'm on
See this racking I'm in it need somebody like me
All of us is concentrating on the things that we see
How much we make so you see and grate
You not making a slate, cause it's just in our fate
I refuse to get booze so just handle your thang
Yo what's happenin' today, yo we gotta bring back that
[Hook]
Feelin, what happened to that feelin?
Good, Feelin dont you go, dont go inside
Feelin dont you go girl, dont you hide
Feelin dont you go, dont go inside
Feelin dont you go girl, dont you hide
