Feel A Way

(album: Soul Therapy - 2021)

Man, I've been feeling so overwhelmed by the pressure to have the right thing to say and the pain of watching the world crumble and wishing you could do something about it, but you can't...

Looking out my window, made me feel a way (Feel a way)
Every time I see the news, it make me feel a way (Feel a way)
Social media done made me feel a way (Feel a way)
But when I talk to you, God, I feel okay, I feel okay (Okay)
When I talk to you, God, I feel okay
I know you feel my pain (Yeah!)

I woke up this morning, stayed in bed, ain't wanna go out
I see Twitter, IG, 'bout to make me throw my phone out
People love to judge a bunch of stuff that they don't know bout
Feel like: "Jesus, this would be the perfect time to show out!"
Pick and choose a life to live like, you only want the truth and he'll protect ya
I can tell you Jesus ain't white, but you ignore the lie that don't affect ya
Racism is real and that's that, but we just see the tape and then react
New tape leading new facts, but we don't want the facts when he black
I don't care if you black or white, not of that matters in the afterlife, what are we acting like?
Either the world or the church, but if not us, then who should have it right?
We are so divided right now, I just shut my eyelids and try to fight this depression I'm in right now
Trying to quiet my mind down, mind down

Looking out my window, made me feel a way (Feel a way)
Every time I see the news, it make me feel a way (Feel a way)
Social media done made me feel a way (Feel a way)
But when I talk to you, God, I feel okay, I feel okay (Okay)
When I talk to you, God, I feel okay
I know you feel my pain (Yeah!)

It pains me to see the blind lead the blind
We punish those who attempt to see and think with their own mind
I don't care about right or left: just life or death, good and evil
I promise you it's not possible to know that when you look at people (Real talk)
All I see is manipulation, everyone's forced to pick a side
Both them sides belong to Satan, both have demons in the basement
Yeah, some white folks are racist, but some get falsely accused
And some of y'all banging this right now don't know that the racist one is you
Black folks will love that quote, but don't see that we can be racist, too
We get mad to the degree that we can think and act like a racist do
Whether CNN or Fox News, it's one-sided, they're both biased
One will only show the nice protests, the other side will only show the riots
They don't care about the truth, all they seem to care about is whose side winning
Folks side, picking everybody willing to ignore the lies, their sides kicking
Both sides got truth, too, so it's hard to tell who's who
I ain't gotta pick, I agree and disagree with what I choose to, real talk

Looking out my window, made me feel a way (Feel a way)
Every time I see the news, it make me feel a way (Feel a way)
Social media done made me feel a way (Feel a way)
But when I talk to you, God, I feel okay, I feel okay (Okay)
When I talk to you, God, I feel okay
I know you feel my pain (Yeah!)
