[Pre-intro]
"It's not that I don't love you"
"You know how much I do"
[Over hook: Dom Pachino (9th Prince)]
Yeah, Killa-Arm
This one here's for the people (word up)
To families livin' in the ghetto
Babies, right there with you
Puerto Rico (Japan, Africa)
[Hook]
Make ya feel it, on the outside
And make ya feel it, on the inside
And make ya feel it
[Verse 1: Dom Pachino]
Have you ever seen a grown man cry?
Have you ever asked a grown man why?
Why do you feel that way inside?
Sometimes I had to swallow my pride and settle for less
Lord don't settle for less, you more like the best
To me, as I pull my head out my skully
And I give praise due to those who mean something to me
Moms, you incredible, you raised me all by yourself
Regardless of the situation, there was food on the shelf
Pops, you abandoned me, you left me all alone
In this cold war zone, I had to fence for my own
My sister Candie, probably the only one that understands me
Girl I love you to death, you never turned your back on me
La-Familia sick, I wish I had the hands to heal you quick
And rid you of a disease you living with
A young father, I've been blessed with two little girls
You two jewels more precious than diamonds or pearls
A part of me from a different perspective
And any woman that I'm dealing with is gonna have to respect it
On the outside there's negativity
Please kill it 'cause on the inside
Me and my team'll make you feel it
[Hook]
Make ya feel it, on the outside
And make ya feel it, on the inside
And make ya feel it, on the outside
And make ya feel it, on the inside
And make ya feel it
[Over hook: 9th Prince]
Word up, it's like everyday, it's a struggle
Like floating in a bubble
Running over rocks, sticks and stones, and all that
[Verse 2: 9th Prince]
Mom I'm suspended from school
Boy I'm tired of your shit, black woman driving the mothership
Own the company wit ya name, incorporate
She told me I was handsome, I knew I looked funny with big lips
But that's the love she had for her son, the 9th Prince
Forever you exist in my circumference
You left my brain numbness, at night sometimes I cry
Wipe the salty tears from my eyes and realize, life's no jive
You caught up in the beehive but mom, ever since you been gone
Ain't nothing changed, RZA got a new Range
I can't complain, them fake cats stay in they lane
Your granddaughter Angelica, is getting bigger
More figures I gotta spend on Princess Corinthia
Polaroid pictures, back when fam was ghetto prisoners
Let's all hold hands, and sing for the listeners
I know you feeling us
[Hook]
Make ya feel it, on the outside
And make ya feel it, on the inside
And make ya feel it, on the outside
And make ya feel it, on the inside
And make ya feel it
[Over Hook: Islord]
(It's not that I don't love you)
Shit is just that real
Know what I mean? Shit is definitely just that real
(It's not that I don't love you)
Coming up in the ghetto and shit
You know, it's like sometimes ya just
Sometimes, ya know
It's like, it's like sometimes
[Verse 3: Islord]
Sometimes I catch myself sitting back
Scratching the hair off my head
Thinking about where I'm at black
Trapped in the worst part
I guess so son, shit is fucked up though
The type of shit a young black man gotta go through
Everyday of his life, no matter where we at
They say we sell crack
Yeah we do son, so what do you expect us to do about it
I gotta eat, I ain't tryna starve for government
I know you loving it, got us like rats in labs
Just watching us fade away, ain't it sad
Like a rainy day, so what the fuck the president gotta say
[Hook]
Make ya feel it, on the outside
And make ya feel it, on the inside
And make ya feel it, on the outside
And make ya feel it, on the inside
And make ya feel it
[Pre-verse: Killa Sin]
Yo one life
One love, to the next chamb' kid
[Verse 4: Killa Sin]
Ay-yo I walked a fine line divided by right and wrong
Misguided at times, dissatisfied not understanding my youth
The truth I'm going through it, for real God, I need solutions
'Cause it seems like a brother like me can't win for losing
Figured if I put my all into it than it's all fluid
Let them other brothers speed-ball 'cause I'ma crawl through it
Mama said, "Take ya time young man but do it right"
I promise to even if it takes the rest of my life
Long as I have breath in my lung and death is yet to become
I will rep 'til I'm done, that's it, never submit
And if ya have a problem with this, please reveal it
But the truth being deep down inside, I know you Feel It
[Hook til fade]
On the outside {It's not that I don't love you}
To make you Feel It, on the inside

To make you Feel It, on the outside
To make you Feel It, on the inside
To make you Feel It, on the outside
{It's not that I don't love you}
To make you Feel It, on the inside
{You know how much I do}
To make you Feel It, on the outside
{It's not that I don't love you}
To make you Feel It, on the inside
{You know how much I do}
To make you Feel It
