Once In a While

I thought I would know better (know better)
That's wishful thinking
Thought there'd be no pressure (no pressure)
That's wishful drinking
Is anything forever (forever)
Or just a feeling? (Or just a feeling?)
What have I been so afraid of? (So afraid of)
I don't know, uh (huh)

From Brooklyn to New York, then off to the West
In Cali, no Khaled, but, fuck, we the best (we the best)
My stripes stay American, let me express
And I keep it as live as a Total Request
And they ask me these questions like: How do you do it? (How you do it?)
Press, and the road, and the music, truth is
I'm always up, I'm always down
Worry 'bout 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 (ooh)
I just wanna dance, I feel good (yeah)
(I feel good)
(I feel good) (good, good, good) (yeah)
(I feel good) (wow, wow, hey, hey, ayy)

I live life like my blood type, B positive
These days, something got me feeling quite the opposite (yeah)
Music like my heroin, but I all I hear is poppy hits (uh)
Time to get up off of it and watch somebody copy it (copy it)
I'm West bound down and out
Feeling fake now, like somebody found me out
Need to slow down, I'm browning out
So many thoughts, let me drown 'em out

Yeah, I thought I would know better
That's wishful thinking
Thought there'd be no pressure
That's wishful drinking
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 (ooh)
I just wanna dance, I feel good (yeah)
(I feel good) (ayy)
(I feel good) (good, good, good) (yeah)
(I feel good) (yeah) (wow, wow, wow) (I feel good)

I've been lookin' at where we're goin', there's no slowin' down to go back (nah)
And thinkin' of where we've been, no one's ever been given a road map
Say: Slow down, turn here, graduate and work here (no, no)
Come and get a raise when you finish up your first year
No, if you're doin' it, you're doing it right (hey, wow)
Keep it movin', now, tell me what you're doin' tonight (yeah)
'Cause sometimes we're up, sometimes we're down, don't worry about anyone else

But once in a while, I catch myself (catch myself)
Once in a while, I ask myself: What am I doing? (What am I doing?)
Once in a while, I need your help (I need your help)
But once in a while I feel like (ooh)
I just wanna dance, I feel good (feel good) (yeah)
(I feel good) (huh, huh)
(I feel good) (good, good, good) (yeah)
(I feel good) (come on)

I just wanna dance, I feel good
