How It Feel / ICU

[Intro]
Searching for something pure
Seeking clarity from this reflection
Staring back in the mirror
Hmmmm yeah
I’ve been told before
Don’t lose yourself

[Verse 1]
Don’t lose yourself
Stay rooted where you’re grounded
You reap what you sew but my plant is always dying
Man I’d repent and do it all again
Feeling so unworthy for him to come and forgive my sins
But you never too far for him to reach down pick you up
Love grace and mercy more than enough
My father told me boy get your lyrics up
Cause when people tired of hearing 808's
When they turn up
Man my eyes are leaking while I’m writing this
Cause I finally opened up man this is how I feel
No legend I gotta give 'em all of me
I gotta do it for the ones that had doubted me
The best promotion come from when them haters talk
Haters make you famous thank you for supporting me this far
They told my mom to abort the kid
But I’m grateful that she didn’t now she proud of the kid

[Hook]
You only see the surface but my inside is hurting
You don’t really know how it feel, how it feel, how it feel
And try to show me that you love me somehow I got numb to it
Can somebody show me how to feel how it feel, how it feel, how to feel

[Verse 2]
It’s a hard knock life for a good kid
It’s a lot of things that come with just making it big
Late nights with the early flights
Sometimes it’s hard for me to sleep through a long night
Broken heart with a open sore
Do you hear me knocking, yeah, I’m at the door
People praying, hoping that they just see me fall
But my name is the only thing I own up in this world
Mama woke me up at 3:40 in the morning
Said you need to get it right boy this is your final warning
And if you don’t your life is gonna crash down
The next day my boy call me and he said the samething
Uh, I gave ma heart to this one girl
I thought she was the one but she messed up my world
I catered to her dysfunctions saving up for the wedding
Brought her to meet the homie but she still ended up bitter
I don’t know how to feel I’m all out of words
Left with this hurt to make it worst it left a scar
And at times I’m scared to let people in
Like what’s your motive: are you temporary or a real friend
My father told me speak your mind boy
Look 'em in the face don’t you cry boy
Moving forward I got the right of way
This is my heart I serve it on a plate

[Bridge]
Sometimes I feel like I’m falling way down
And inside I’m hurting when nobody’s around
Way down feeling like I lost my crown
Way down ohhhhh!

[Hook]
You only see the surface but ma inside is hurting
You don’t really know how it feel, how it feel, how it feel
Yeah them whips and the lashed we can only imagine
But we don’t really know how it feel, how it feel, how it feel

[Outro]
I see you crying all the night long
Think you did everything wrong
Out here tryna please your family
Out here tryna please your friends
But you can’t see none of it
So think you did everything wrong everything wrong
Yeah
I just want you to know that I see you
No baby I see ya
No homie I see ya
I really want you to know that I see ya
No baby I see ya
No homie I see ya
Your purse don’t go unnoticed
