Once in a While

I thought I would know better That's wishful thinkin' Thought there'd be no pressure That's wishful drinkin' Is anything forever or just a feeling? What have I been so afraid of? I don't know From Brooklyn to New York, then off to the West In Cali, no Khaled, but fuck, we the best My stripes, stay American, lemme express And I keep it as live as a Total Request Then they ask me these questions Like, "How do you do it? Press and the road and the music" Truth is, I'm always up, I'm always down Worry about everyone else But once in a while, I catch myself Once in a while, I ask myself What am I doing? Once in a while, I need your help But once in a while I feel like I just wanna dance I feel good, I feel good I feel good, I feel good I live life like my blood type, B positive These days something got me feeling quite the opposite Music like my heroin, but all I hear is poppy shit Time to get up off of it and watch somebody copy it I'm West bound down and out Feeling fake now like somebody found me out Need to slow down, I'm brownin' out So many thoughts, lemme drown 'em out Yeah, I thought I would know better That's wishful thinkin' Thought there'd be no pressure That's wishful drinkin' Is anything forever or just a feeling? What have I been so afraid of? I don't know But once in a while, I catch myself Once in a while, I ask myself What am I doing? Once in a while, I need your help But once in a while I feel like I just wanna dance I feel good, I feel good I feel good, I feel good I've been looking at where we're going There's no slowin' down to go back And thinking of where we've been No one's ever been given a road map Say "Slow down, turn here, graduate and work here Come and get a raise when you finish up your first year" No, if you're doing it, you're doing it right Keep it movin', now tell me what you're doing tonight Cause sometimes we're up, sometimes we're down Don't worry about anyone else But once in a while, I catch myself Once in a while, I ask myself What am I doing? Once in a while, I need your help But once in a while I feel like I just wanna dance I feel good, I feel good I feel good, I feel good
