[Funky Soul A Cappella Beatbox Groove, Deep Bass Vocal, Gospel Choir, Eight Voices Plus Choir] --------------------------------------- [Intro — beatbox groove, mouth bass, deep bass voice hums, choir breathes] [DEEP BASS VOICE — slow, low] Mmmmmm — Yeah — Feel that [Verse 1 — lead tenor, beatbox, harmonies weaving] Woke up feeling royal Pressed my crown and tied my shoes Got a few who want to test me But I don't have time to lose They been throwing shade since Tuesday Trying to crack what won't break But I'm built on something solid And I'm moving at my pace [CHOIR] (Mmm-hmm, mmm-hmm) (Built on solid ground) [RAP VERSE 1 — beatbox tightens, bass voice punctuates] Yeah— I walked in clean with a grin and a game plan Whole lotta pressure but I came from a place that Taught me how to bend, never break when the rain lands Now I'm out here shining while they watching from the grandstand Talk cheap, I don't buy what they selling I'm too busy building while they busy over-telling Got a bassline heartbeat and a soul that's swelling Every setback turned blessing, now the whole room yelling Hands high, let the groove testify I've been down low enough to appreciate the sky Every scar got a story, every story got a why And the reason I'm smiling is I know I survived [BACKING VOCALS] (He survived! — Still standing! — Still shining! — Still climbing!) [DEEP BASS VOICE] Still cliiimbing [Pre-Chorus — eight voices, gospel choir] Go ahead and talk your talk I'm too busy in my walk Every word you throw at me Just makes me stand up tall [CHOIR] (Talk your talk — walk your walk) (Stand up — stand up tall) [Chorus — full ensemble, gospel choir, runs flying] I feel good — yeah I feel good Right down to my bones Every hit they throw at me Just sharpens up my chrome Woooah-oh-oh-oh-yeah (Sharpens up — chrome — chrome) I feel good — yeah I feel good Like sunshine in my chest Tried to dent my armor baby But I just passed the test I feel good [CHOIR] (Goooood — oooh-wee-ooh-ah-ooh) [Verse 2 — beatbox stripped, bass voice countermelody] They been writing my obituary Since before they knew my name But I keep showing up on Monday Like I don't know how to break I got people in my corner And a purpose in my spine So whatever comes to find me I'm gon' meet it just fine [TRIO] (Purpose in the spine — ooooh just fine) [RAP VERSE 2 — smoother flow] See I don't need revenge, I just need my rhythm Every day above ground is another good living They were betting on the fall, I was betting on growth Now the same people watching wanna sit in the front row Good energy only when I'm entering the spot Sunshine in my chest and the funk don't stop Got a purpose in my stride and a fire in my walk So while they talking all day, I'ma let the groove talk [DEEP BASS VOICE] Mmm — rhythm — growth — front row Bassline rolling like a Cadillac ride Windows down, confidence sitting shotgun side I ain't chasing validation, got enough inside When you know who you are, that's a powerful vibe [CHOIR] (Feel good — right down to the soul!) [Chorus — full ensemble, ad-libs] I feel good — yeah I feel good Right down to my bones Every hit they throw at me Just sharpens up my chrome Oh-wee-oh-ah-ooh-yeah (Sharpens me) I feel good — yeah I feel good Like sunshine in my chest Tried to dent my armor baby But I just passed the test I feel good [Interlude — three voices, intimate, no beatbox] They can't take what God already gave me Can't erase what love already made me Every scar I wear was paid for Every storm I walked through made me greater [DEEP BASS VOICE] Greater — (Greater) — Oh yeah [SOPRANO SOLO — melismatic, unaccompanied] Ooooh-ah-ooh-wee-ah-ooooh [RAP BRIDGE — double-time, choir builds] Wait— They tried to put limits where the vision belongs Tried to tell me I was weak when I knew I was strong Tried to write me out the picture, now they singing along Funny how the doubters become fans of the song I got joy in the engine, faith in the frame Got love in the wiring running through every vein Every storm that I walked through upgraded the game Now the brass hit hard when they mention my name [CHOIR] (Joy! — Faith! — Love! — Upgraded!) Boom — snare — horns to the sky Whole band cooking and the groove on fire If you're feeling this alive let me hear you reply— [ALL VOICES] I FEEL GOOD! [Final Chorus — every voice, gospel choir peak, runs cascading] I feel good — yeah I feel good Right down to my bones Every hit they throw at me Just sharpens up my chrome Woooo-ah-oh-yeah — (Chrome — chrome) Heeeey-ey-ey-yeah — (Feel it) I feel good — yeah I feel good Like sunshine in my chest Tried to dent my armor baby But I just passed the test I feel good [CHOIR PEAK] (So good — oooh-wee-ah-ooh-yeah) (So good — so goooood) [DEEP BASS VOICE] So — good [Outro — voices peel away, bass voice last] (I feel good) Feel so good now (Nothing stopping me) Moving on up (I feel good) Yeah yeah yeah (Armor still shining) Still shining baby [DEEP BASS VOICE — fading] Mmmmmm — Still shining
