[Intro]
I'm thinking of you
Are you thinking of me?
How does it feel to be free?
I'm thinking of you
Are you thinking of me?
How does it feel to be free?

[Verse 1]
And nowadays they ask me (How does it feel?)
To live the life that people dream about
I'm grateful for the fans I've made
All them look at me without
The scars I developed from the struggle I've been living through
I nearly sold my soul to make this music I've been giving you
So how is it (Thinking of me)
To see my face up in these videos
Establishing a name the whole city knows
Grindin' on the web and getting daily hundred thousand hits
Went from serving fast food to making songs with Alchemist
And (How does it feel)
To know you you used to say I'd never have a chance in hell
Motivating me to see my raps excel
And practice well from one to quarter after twelve
Every day and night to explain and write a story I just had to tell
Thinkin' 'bout my past events, yeah, this shit's been that intense
Caught up in the journey, those who heard of me, they act impressed
Pity those who have regressed, celebrate the rest who don't
'Cause I'ma give y'all everything I got 'til I go fuckin' broke
That's why
[Chorus]
(I'm thinking of you) And how you said that I was nothin'
(Are you thinking of me?) 'Cause if you are, you must be wonderin'
(How does it feel to be free?) To be free, that's how it feels to be me, that's why
(I'm thinking of you) And how you said that I was nothin'
(Are you thinking of me?) 'Cause if you are, you must be wonderin'
(How does it feel to be free?) To be free

[Verse 2]
And nowadays they ask me (How does it feel)
To be the man where I'm from
To hit the stage with a performance that's comparable to none
But tell me, really (Are you thinking of me?)
Back when my work was washing dishes
Mopping floors, running trash and cleaning kitchens
Yeah, I'd do it all again, make exactly the same decisions
Just to earn the same respect, not for money, fame, and bitches
Feel the pressure and it's growing more intense with each day
Shedding blood, sweating tears, homie, rest in peace Play
I be rippin' it from Cali to the Chesapeake Bay
'Til the certain form of nature ends up sending me away
As for that, all I ask is for my family to pray
As I proudly make it known to all my fans I'm here to stay
Never hesitate, expect to take a bullet for this microphone
I paid the dues to write the poems, I'll earn my fuckin' stripes alone
Now that my vice is known, I'm finally able to see
So if you're wondering, this is how it feels to be free
That's why
[Chorus]
(I'm thinking of you) And how you said that I was nothin'
(Are you thinking of me?) 'Cause if you are, you must be wonderin'
(How does it feel to be free?) To be free, that's how it feels to be me, that's why
(I'm thinking of you) And how you said that I was nothin'
(Are you thinking of me?) 'Cause if you are, you must be wonderin'
(How does it feel to be free?) To be free

[Outro]
And nowadays they ask me (How does it feel)
How does...? I am thinking of you
How does it feel? How does it feel? Thinking of you
Thinking—how does it feel?
How does it feel? How does it feel?
How does...? I am thinking of you
How does it feel? How does it feel? Thinking of you
Thinking—how does it feel?
I am thinking of you
