Brass Feelings

(Sigh) Yeah I'm feeling good huh? I ain't beat my demons But I did the best I could Yeah, yeah 5'9 on a good day 5'7 on my worst Never feeling 6'0 Only when I'm feeling like being 6'0 in the earth Yeah, yeah These are my brass feelings And it's a cold feeling Feelings so strong It's like they blew the horns on they own And you can hear them on this song Yeah, yeah It's not a sad song I feel triumphant My war is so long Who would've thunk it Been fighting since they called me mijo Now this mijo Been fighting since he was 5 years old Now that was 17 ago Yeah I ain't beat my demons But I did the best I could Yeah, yeah I ain't beat my demons But I did the best I could Now I'm feeling good Yeah, yeah I said I'm feeling good But I lied Know that I gave a shrug Because of pride Don't got my heart on my sleeve I keep it out of sight Out of sight Out of mind Got my dreams and reality Strictly intertwined I got My head up in the clouds But I'm a pessimist So my clouds are turning gray now It is a simple beat But it's honest to me I see the beauty That you're choosing not to see So dishonest in your claims Using your expressions To hide your motherfucking shame But I seen in your eyes Behind that make-shift disguise You closed the curtains to your windows But I seen what's inside Within the lies that you've told But soon it'll all unfold And you'll be left bear, naked and cold And I ain't throwing no jabs Nah It's just my gift of the gab Hah Yeah I ain't beat my demons But I did the best I could Yeah, yeah I ain't beat my demons But I did the best I could Now I'm feeling good Yeah, yeah
