How I’m Feeling Lyrics – BAK Jay

How I’m Feeling Lyrics Meaning

[Intro]
Just hyping himself up with attitude and no filter.

[Chorus]
He’s making it clear he’s not the one to mess with—if someone thinks they can rob him, they’re dead wrong because he’s always carrying a weapon. He’s proud of his girl, calling out others as not good enough in comparison, and he’s throwing expensive clothes on her to show off. He doesn’t care about fake people or drama; if someone disrespects him, he’ll return the same energy without hesitation. He talks about turning into a “Gremlin” when provoked, meaning he gets dangerous and wild. There’s a mention of a failed escape because someone wasn’t driving fast enough, hinting at a possible getaway situation. And finally, he talks about his city being full of hate, enemies, and tension, making it clear he’s in survival mode. Dropping “a five and a four” likely refers to code or slang that’s significant in his local scene or set. Overall, it’s aggressive and defensive with pride and paranoia mixed in.

[Verse 1]
He starts off reflecting on a situation where someone didn’t lock a door, probably during a risky moment. He’s been drinking a lot, already on his third cup but still wanting more, showing he’s numbing himself or staying lit. Though he’s on probation or legal watch (“on the papers”), he’s not acting weak—he still keeps a gun on him. He’s disappointed in people who acted loyal but snitched when it mattered. He’s just trying to stay high and chill with his close friends. If someone steals from him, it’s not just about payback—it’s about taking a life. He even calls out someone who didn’t take revenge after their brother got shot, which in his world is a sign of weakness. He only uses custom weapons, calling standard stuff “wack.” Then, he’s riding in a Durango SUV, and while another guy is looking for his girl, he doesn’t realize she’s already with BAK’s crew. It’s full of tension, loyalty checks, and keeping up appearances in a harsh world.

[Chorus]
Again, he’s doubling down on being ready for anything—especially threats. He’s not afraid of anyone claiming they’re going to rob him because he’s armed and always alert. He’s got a confident woman by his side who looks down on others, and he’s flaunting their lifestyle by dressing her in high-end fashion. He makes it clear he’s not with the fake love—if someone doesn’t like him, he’ll match that energy without second thoughts. He talks about “tucking your ice,” meaning he’d rather take someone’s jewelry, showing off a rough, street persona. Turning into a “Gremlin” shows how reckless or dangerous he can become when pushed. He reflects again on a missed chance to escape a bad situation because someone wasn’t moving fast enough. The last part is about coming from a place full of hate, enemies, and conflict, and using coded phrases that likely have local gang or crew meanings.

[Verse 2]
He’s feeling super high from a lot of drügs, not holding back on how intense he’s going. He might not be into big public parties, but he still shows up at events. He’s messing around with a girl who doesn’t even realize she’s just a fling—he’s gone by morning. He’s spending money on luxury brands for her without much thought, just living flashy. Then he talks about doing business with a plug, possibly delivering or picking up illegal goods. When someone joins in the action, he acts like he’s just going with the flow, not even questioning it. He casually mentions dropping ten thousand dollars on sweaters, which shows how easily he spends money. He’s planning his next trip to a big event like Coachella, hinting that he lives a fast and flashy lifestyle. At the end, he calls someone “soft like a feather,” which is his way of saying they’re weak or not cut out for his world.

[Outro]
Just some closing ad-libs with attitude, like he’s wrapping up his message.
