Feel it in the Air

Not really a fan of Beanie Sigel but when I heard this track a few months ago I was stopped in my tracks. The chorus is beautiful and Beanie comes deep with raw emotion in his verses. I've been bumping it on loop ever since. Seems to be one of those songs that people missed out on judging by the amount of views on youtube.

Not entirely sure on the story behind the track but its definetly worth a listen. And yes i know its old...



I've added the lyrics in the comments.

    My Spider senses is tinglin
    Feel somethin, got my radars up

    Somethin goin on, i feel funny cant tell me nuttin different
    my nose twitchin
    intuition settin in like steve vision
    i still close my eyes, i still see visions
    still hear that voice in tha back of my mind
    so what i do? i still take heed, i still listen
    i still paint that perfect picture,
    i still shine bright like a prism
    my words still skippin - thru air
    i know you cant, dont, wont get it
    you n*ggas chose to ride that ship, sunk wit it
    im still afloat, i aint tha captain of tha yacht but im on the boat
    i aint actin what im not
    knowin that i dont, you n*ggas actin like you will but i know you wont, you wont man
    i read between tha lines of ya eyes and ya brows
    ya handshake aint matchin ya smile
    ill holla, you n*ggas foul

    i can feel it in tha air
    i can feel it in tha air
    i can feel it in tha air
    i can hear it in your voice
    i can feel it in tha air

    i sit alone in my 4 cornered room starin at hammers
    ready to go banannas
    2 vests on me, 2 techs, extra clips on me
    i know my mind aint playin tricks on me
    i aint skitz hommie
    aint no body drop a nick on me
    its like they tryin ta plot a scent on me
    i hear this voice in tha back of my mind like mack tighten up ya circle
    before they hurt you
    read they body language
    85% communication non-verbal, 85% swear they know you
    10% you know they story, man tha other 5..time to show you, just know you
    then pull they strings, you tha puppet master
    fuck them other bastards
    man watch who you puffin after
    play ya cards, go against all odds
    shoot for tha moon if you miss, you still amongst those stars

    i can feel it in tha air
    i can feel it in tha air
    i can feel it in tha air (i aint scared n*gga i aint goin no where)
    i can hear it in your voice (can you feel me?)
    i can feel it in tha air (can you feel me?)

    can you feel it, can you feel the grim reaper floatin?
    foul preacha quotin, scriptures from revalation
    talk shit and got tha devil waitin
    body get stiff, so levitatin
    why do i speak blasphemy?
    knowin one day that he'll ask for me
    ask for my sins
    no one to feel his wrath for me
    i go thru it, so you wouldnt do it...after me
    as for me
    im still circlin tha block before im parkin
    not bitchin, im just still cautious
    same black parka, same uzzi, extra clips, still clappin wit that same larkin
    damn, i feel it in the air, you not sincere
    n*gga it aint an us, or we, or ima thing
    its a good/bad karma thing
    this the code man a honor thing
    i swear i feel somethin honestly

    i can feel it in tha air
    i can feel it in tha air
    i can feel it in tha air
    i can hear it in your voice
    i can feel it in tha air

  3. This definitely made its rounds on Base and Kiss a few years back.

    But its a beautiful track. Still on my itunes to this day. The vocalist did his verses jutice, complemented him nicely.
