I've heard that this song is a part of the Michael Young History continuity, and that it's about his mother getting pimped by The Game (But before Michael himself grows up.). With that in mind, I can see where some of the lines would fit in with that, but others don't. Everything from ' When she couldn't take the pain' to " When she's pregnant and smokin' weed' would fit with that, (Michael DOES have a sister, (first few lines of the song 'The Cool' so that could be the baby), but the parts about the guy getting killed doesn't fit in, because Michael should still be alive at this part of the story (and he was killed in a car, not by a stray bullet.) Still, the first lines mentioned fit in with it.

Some of the second verse are questions aimed at the listener, like "If a racist shows you love, do you feel it?"

The title itself is sort of a play on words with every other line of the song, almost as if to say, "No, I don't feel it." or maybe asking the listener for conformation-- "Do you feel it too, or am I imagining it? "
