  Huh
  Alright
  Malik LovesYall
  Get down
  Everybody breathe oh no
  They take that and let them people go
  But he ain't no Moses
  Got no fro
  I can't take this shit no mo'
  Fell into a jump in time
  When people was out hunting mine
  But didn't know that we would take it
  Make it give us steam to grind
  Turn into a beast
  Gnashing teeth on thine
  We might make it hurt this time
  Stand up
  Get down
  Break the line
  We with me, Iself and I
  While these haters misalign
  Dripping
  Living so
  Divine
  Replenish
  Reach down to the nines

  He don't
  He won't even try
  They can't fuck with you this time
  If you know that you the shit
  Then real legit
  And rip the lie
  Go ahead and say you're proud
  Ain't nobody stop me now
  Go ahead and get down
  Feel the boom in the sound
  Huh

  It's all in the feeling
  Nah nah
  It's all in the feeling
  Nah nah
  It's all in the feeling
  Nah nah
  It's all in the feeling
  Nah nah

  It's all in the feeling
  Nah nah
  It's all in the feeling
  Nah nah
  It's all in the feeling
  Nah nah
  It's all in the feel

  What I feel
  This ain't real
  Knowledge tend to make you want a pill
  Head inflated
  Migrane
  Take you a state where soldiers kill
  They overthink
  I'm underwhelmed
  Tear us down
  Yet we rebuild
  Cheated, lied and tried to steal
  We took remains and made it
  Still

  It's running through my bones
  Paint remain the soul
  Chains are turned to gold
  Jeez that came from old
  Storied left untold
  I feel it in the way we hit the note
  My help your sister Rosetta Stone
  Speak peace
  Most calm
  But it's feeling wrong

  It's all in the feeling
  Nah nah
  It's all in the feeling
  Nah nah
  It's all in the feeling
  Nah nah
  It's all in the feeling
  Nah nah

  It's all in the feeling
  Nah nah
  It's all in the feeling
  Nah nah
  It's all in the feeling
  Nah nah
  It's all in the feeling
  Nah nah

  It's all in the feeling
  Nah nah
  It's all in the feeling
  Nah nah
  It's all in the feeling
  Nah nah
  It's all in the feel

Track fourteen on [*Big Hug*](/albums/big-hug/), co-written and performed with **Malik LovesYall**, the same collaborator as [*Kick It in Nirvana*](/songs/kick-it-in-nirvana/). It opens as party-as-survival, *everybody breathe* and a fake Moses with *no fro*, then turns into a time-jump pep talk: hunted, then *turn into a beast, gnashing teeth on thine*, *living so divine*. The pre-chorus is a bar fight of self-belief, *if you know that you the shit then real legit and rip the lie*, and the title chorus stacks *it's all in the feeling* until the word itself wears down to *all in the feel*. Body over argument.

Verse two flips it: *knowledge tend to make you want a pill*, overthinking against being underwhelmed, *tear us down yet we rebuild*. The bridge turns alchemical, *chains are turned to gold*, *my help your sister Rosetta Stone, speak peace most calm but it's feeling wrong*, translation that never quite resolves. Same *Big Hug* question as [*I See the Moment*](/songs/i-see-the-moment/), belief after collapse, but reached through groove and confidence instead of media dread. Bass-central LP energy, the sound Luke described in press for this era.
