Not Feeling It
I’m going away into my own lane
Drifting away, going a little insane
Bow down…to the wise and to the foolish
Cuz I’m down and dirty like oceanic fish
There’s other fish in the sea
There’s other fish in the sea
I was a called one…now, I’m unreligious
I was a son of a gun…since I can remember…
I can’t remember last December…December…
When she died…I cried…
When she died…I cried…
I’m not feeling like
I’m not feeling like
I’m not feeling like going to church
I don’t feel right
In my shoes…tonight
I don’t feel alright
I fought the good fight
But…
I’m not feeling like
I’m not feeling like
Um… hmmm… hmmm…
I’m not feeling myself tonight…
I’ve repented, so there you have it
Baptizing myself in my bathtub, baby…
I’m drifting away like an airplane
I’m blasting the radio real loud in my ears
Refrain from driving me insane
It’s been years since I seen ya…many, many years…
Ago…
Ago…
Since many years ago…
Yeah…I feel the beat…
I be tappin’ my feet…
I’m playing ‘round with my toes
I see happiness as it slowly grows
Oh no…
What’s this feeling inside?
I feel like passing out…
No doubt…
I’m not feeling like
I’m not feeling like
I’m not feeling like going to church
I don’t feel right
In my shoes…tonight
I don’t feel alright
I fought the good fight
But…
I’m not feeling like
I’m not feeling like
Um… hmmm… hmmm…
I’m not feeling myself tonight…
I’ve repented, so there you have it
Baptizing myself in my bathtub, baby…
I gave in to temptation again…
I have a give up mentality again
But, no, I won’t give up
And that’s what’s up…
That’s what’s up…
I need Your love…
I need Your hope…
I need Your forgiveness and mercy, oh Lord…
I don’t feel like going to church…no more…no more…
I still believe in You…I guess I’m a swung open door –
I feel unloved here and I fear…You don’t love me anymore…
I feel like I’m living a double-standard life
I ain’t balanced; still, dealing with strife
I’m not feeling like
I’m not feeling like
I’m not feeling like going to church
I don’t feel right
In my shoes…tonight
I don’t feel alright
I fought the good fight
But…
I’m not feeling like
I’m not feeling like
Um… hmmm… hmmm…
I’m not feeling like
I’m not feeling like
I’m not feeling like going to church
I don’t feel right
In my shoes…tonight
I don’t feel alright
I fought the good fight
But…
I’m not feeling like
I’m not feeling like
Um… hmmm… hmmm…
Baptizing myself in my pool – awesome, no?
