[Verse 1]
Crime in the streets
I read about it everyday in the papers
And justice needs and justice wants

[Bridge]
But just in times, yes, too late here
Oh, feels like I wasn't born there
(Feels like I wasn't born there)
I feel just like a Boogie Pilgrim, oh, huh, yeah

[Chorus]
Boogie Pilgrim, hustled to get it, to get it together
Down on the jive talk, down on the weather
Boogie Pilgrim, oh, brother I never felt better

No, I never felt better

[Verse 2]
Low life's complete
When you've lived that way out on the sidewalk
(Walking on the sidewalk everyday)
Oh, I got the speed, baby, you got the need, ah,uh

[Bridge]
But the need in me needs nothing
(But you know that I need nothing)
But I know that you all want something
Oh, just like Boogie Pilgrim, Boogie Pilgrim

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
Yeah, I know I'm better
(Don't you know that I never felt better)
No, I'm never, never, never felt better
(Don't you know that I never felt better)

Don't you know that I never felt better [x4]

[Chorus]
Boogie, Boogie, Boogie Pilgrim, yeah
Oh, lord I never felt better, yeah
(Don't you know that I never felt better)

Ooh hoo, ooh hoo, ooh hoo

[Chorus]

Yeah
(You know that I never felt better)

[Outro]
