[Lyric] The Progress (Chris Ray's Music)

I feel like I'm living in sci-fi
Then get blind-sided by real life

I feel the energy on them beautiful nights
Then, wake up seeing hindsight

Hmph
Yeah

I wanna feel nice
I wanna feel nice
I wanna feel nice
I wanna feel success
Whoo

Tryna get right
(Tryna get)
Tryna get right
(Tryna get)
Tryna get right
I'm starting to see The Progress
Yeah, I'm starting to see The Progress
Starting to see The Progress
Starting to see The Progress

Uh
Yeah
Uh

I wanna feel nice like Friday Nights under field lights
I wanna feel the feel after Evander Holyfield fights
I wanna feel the feelings of a soulmatе's who's black
I wanna feel that! I wanna feel that!

I wanna feel the power of Mac Miller. BRING THE REAL BACK!
I wanna feel thе power of 2Pacalypse. BRING THE REAL BACK!
Show your enemies you love 'em. Good energy: do you feel that?
My time coming. My time coming. Please, tell me you feel that!

I got too many feelings, so I ask The Lord for healings
Reported too many killings. Living with Gotham City villains

Even still
I feel, I feel (hmm, yeah)
I feel, I feel (whatcha say)
I feel, I feel (whatcha say)
I feel, I feel (yeah, uh)
I feel
I feel

Even when I don't feel too whole
I feel, I feel
Even when I feel them demons getting close
I feel, I feel
Even when I feel I'm taken for a joke
Then, I lay it down and let my thoughts go
And then, I start feeling

I feel like I'm living in sci-fi then get blind-sided by real life
I feel the energy on them beautiful nights, then, wake up seeing hindsight

I wanna feel nice
I wanna feel nice
I wanna feel nice
I wanna feel success

Tryna get right
Tryna get right
Tryna get right

I'm starting to see The Progress
Yeah, I'm starting to see The Progress
Starting to see The Progress
(Yeah)

But everybody don't see "The Progress". Some die during "The Process"
But if you make it to "The Product", better make sure that you polished (make sure)

(Uh)

And I know that I said I got hope

(Yeah, uh)

And I know that I said I got hope

But what the point of having hope when you got a fail safe?
Oh my goodness, man you know doing this never felt safe
Cause I got so many other talents that I can do
But I said, "I wanna spend my talents rapping inside the booth"

And I told my momma, told my daddy, "This what I wanna do!"
Could've got a Master's education. Many think I'm a fool
For not going back to school, so they sit and ridicule
Think that it's not worth they T-I-M-E to critique me

But while you sitting in some Master classes learning from them master's assess
You're gonna critique the recipe, the legendary that's inside of me on page 933
I know you think that's hard to believe but constantly
I cannot receive information that can perceived relatively
I'd rather live and learn from people, decide for me what life should be
That's just me
Uh

Told JonBoy, "I feel the energy. We living it."
JonBoy, we living it
(We living it)
(Yeah)

But I gotta keep going. Can't let the instrumental keep flowing
Oh my goodness, but I gotta keep saying what I got here to get up off my head
Right now, I'm tryna keep from crying. Too often feels like I'm dying
Oh, yeah. I'm gonna do everything I want. I don't do trying

But right now, I'm starting to feel emotional (that's okay)
Man, I'm feeling it all inside my spirit, tho (that's good)
Oh my goodness, not religious. I'm more spiritual
We about to blow (yessir)

The tears rolling down
Tears falling now (you good)
I feel the pain right now

But I feel the pain in a good way
Yeah, I feel the pain in a good way
Said I feel the pain in a good way
Cause I'm envisioning all of our good days

(Ooh-woo!)

Oh my goodness, man, it's never raining outside
Always inside of me, oh my goodness, man
I need to feel it. Need to feel it
Lord, I need some healing

(Hm, yeah)

Tryna wipe my eyes right now. Tryna not get violent
Ain't it ironic you get violent when you start crying
Oh my goodness, tears just like some violins
Cause they way they sound when they hit the floor, got niggas feeling soft soul

(Ay, you good)

I'm feeling soft soul

(You good man. Pick you head up
You straight, man. Stay strong. You good)

But I'm not gonna cut the track. I'm a let it keep playing (let it do that)
Oh my goodness, my name Chris Ray and you know I'm still staying here (hmm)
In the game, no Logic. Not retiring. (Nah)
Cause it's common logic that I'm still brining that fire in! (Yessir)

No disrespect (uh uh)
No disrespect (uh uh)
You wanna be happy
I hear the industry at yo neck (that's what I hear)

Damn, that's what they always doing, tho (yeah)
And here I am, jumping in looking blinded, bro
(Can you blame me?)

But I gotta keep feeling (yeah)
Got the gleam in my eye, yeah, I'm willing (yessir)

Tryna come in the game and make a change
Tryna come in the game and make a change
Don't need no Range, don't need no Range

Tryna come in the game and make a change
I got feelings
(I know you do)
I got feelings

Yeah, I feel it in my spiritual
I remember us being in my room making my own visuals
Oh my goodness, man I did this for the love, not residuals
Oh, fuck man. It's killing me, tho
(Ay you good, tho)

It's killing me, bro (You good, man)
I'm not being spread thin
But it's hard to do it for the win (we got it, tho)
But it's hard when you do it for the win (let's go, man)
But it's much easier when you do it from within (keep talking man, let's go)

Wiping my face right now (you good, tho)
Tears falling right now (Ay, I got you, man)

I remember going through "The Process" (those were good times)
Here we are: now, we in "The Progress" (yessir)
We in The "Progress" (yessir!)
We in The Progress

(Ooh-woo!)

Pretty soon, you gone see "The Product"

(Just wait on that)

(Ay, man)

Pretty soon, you gone see The Product

(Jus-just keep ya head up, man. I got you
Keep talking to yourself, man. I promise you
It will all pay off. I can feel it in my bones)

Hmm
