Felt This Before

Verse 1

I know what it feels like baby

When no one sees who is the real you (real)

When everyone got something to say

Gives you the nerve, makes ya wanna go crazy

Verse 2

Yeah, I know how people talkin' can get ya

Makin' you feel like nobody get ya, get ya

Or that you can't take it no more

It's like yo heart, hit the floor (uh-uh-uh)

Chorus

I don't understand, oh

What they want from, oh

Verse 3

Why? (Yeah)

Hate on me (I don't know)

Why can't you live and let, let live (uh-huh)

I see 'em watchin'

It don't faze me

"Been rich since I was 16, ain't no misery"

They say I changed for the worse 'cause I got money

It used to be me they laughin' with, now they laughin' at me, huh? (Oh-oh-oh)

Verse 4

I can see the jealousy in, their eyes

I bet they never, never lived my life (my life)

I bet they never felt this way

But don't worry, I'm okay (uh-uh-uh)

Chorus

I never felt so alive (I never felt so alive)

And I felt this before I came here (I felt it, felt it)

And I knew that it was near (I knew it)

Verse 5

I know what they're all sayin'

They wanna know, do I still have my freedom (oh, yeah)

Does money get in the way?

Does it change how much I pray? (Yeah)

Verse 6

Well, I still get up in the mornin'

Say, "Thank you God for the breath in my body" (Yeah, yeah)

I'm still the same, still humble, still down to earth

Ain't never forgotten what a dollar was worth (what)

Been around the world, so I know what I'm worth

I'm blessed every day, I been blessed since my birth (oh-woah-oh)

Verse 7

All of that money can't buy me (buy me)

A piece of mind or true happiness (happiness)

It's just a means, to an end, I guess (uh-uh-uh)

That's why I never let no material thing

Ever take priority over the King

Chorus

I never felt so alive (I never felt so alive)

And I felt this before I came here (I felt it, felt it)

And I knew that it was near (I knew it)

I never felt so alive (no, no, oh)

I know the feelings that I'm in

I can't explain where I have been

Bridge

Don't know why they hate

Don't know what they say

But I know I'm gonna be okay

It's okay (oh-woah, it's okay)

Chorus

I never felt so alive (so alive)

And I felt this before I came here (oh, no)

And I knew that it was near (near)

Oh, I never felt so alive

So alive (ooh)

Outro

Yeah, yeah (never felt so alive)

Oh-ooh-ooh (never, never, never felt so alive)

Oh-ooh-ooh (oh-woah-oah-oh)

Oh-ooh, oh-oh (I never felt so, so alive)
