Looks like Chris Brown’s been holding a lot in. He lets go of his emotions in lyrical form on the Drumma Boy-produced cut, “How I Feel.” From reflecting on the tragic incident with ex-girlfriend Rihanna, to fake friends, family abuse, and more. Will this end up on his new album Fortune arriving May 8? No word yet, but a sample of some interesting lyrics below.
“Nineteen, a n***a went through a tragedy/ Three years, a n***a just found a better me/ Yeah, you might find another lover, but you always started with Breezy like the letter B.”
Listen to “How I Feel” after the jump….

Get the fuck outta here with that nonsense! How the fuck did this lil’ bitch go through a tragedy? He beat the shit out of his girl… THAT’S IT! Friends aren’t fake if they bounce after that either! Fuck that! If my boy of 30 years beats his wife like Chris beat Rhianna, I’m out, probably after whipping his ass too! There is no excuse, no comebacks, no redemptions… Especially after his attitude has been nothing short of an asshole! Fuck him & his fans!

Thank you! I can’t stand how people label what he did as the “incident”. He beat her up and when you read the police report, he threatened to kill her and he put her in a freaking headlock. I don’t blame people in his past for not wanting to be associated with that kind of insanity.
Most people would not forgive those actions if it was their mom or sister, aunt, niece who got beat. But all the excuses in the world are made for Chris Brown. and his fans do him no favors by coddling him. He still throws random temper tantrums for goodness sake!

You do realize that the police report on blogs is her account, her notarized account? And that the photo we did see, the affidavit, and her story on 20/20 all highlight different injuries?
And most people would forgive actually (and most times unfortunately)
You have to just as easily say what if Chris Brown was your brother or son.
The blogs have chosen to highlight that line of the song of the “tragedy” but much of the song is about his childhood abuse , his mother almost being killed , and him constantly peeing on himself because of it. All things that psychologically affect someone and yes, might even make it hard to not feel victimized because they never had that chance to be the victim themselves before they become the offender.
When crimes come out then everyone in the celebs past comes out with a “I remember when he did that to me ” story. There have been ZERO. Not even a “Chris pushed me off the bleachers in 6th grade” report. This was an isolated night and he was sentenced by the judge. If people feel it was too light a sentence then they should take it up with the legal system. For him to recieve death threats, become the poster boy for serial abusers, face public scrutiny , and being threatened by other entertainers no less, for three years can make anyone feel victimized regardless of what they did. How much is too much? Are we waiting for Chris Brown to be violently attacked as well (because violence is okay for people to do to once offensive….wrong, because by that logic then Chris Brown can say he attacked Rihanna because she too once attacked someone defenseless in her past (her little brother with a glass bottle).) It’s not okay to replace violence with violence.
Are we waiting for him to turn to drugs and be really known as Bobby Brown? Do we want him to kill himself, or will we just say ” who cares, he couldn’t deal with verbal abuse”. Nothing will never be okay or good enough a punishment so why even listen to Chris Brown or read a post about his new songs if he’s a douche that they’ve already thrown away.
If Chris Brown was your 19 year old child….

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/tragedy
Enclosed is the link for the definition of TRAGEDY. Since HE is the ONE who CAUSED THE INCIDENT IN THE 1ST FUCKING PLACE(!!!), he has NO RIGHT to call the incident a tragedy. A FELONY, A CRIME, An INCIDENT THAT SHOULD’VE COST HIM HIS CAREER…. Yes. But he’s the one going through thangs? PLEASE!
There are plenty of actors, singers, entertainers who have lost it all for drugs, alcohol, & questionable actions which were far less serious or criminal than this & dude is acting like the world is out to get him. Also he destroyed his GIRLFRIEND who just happened to be RHIANNA, who’s now the most popular female artist on EARTH, & completely upset the Grammys in which both were scheduled to perform. That alone could get you blacklisted.
What the Fuck happened to this society where we can embrace woman beaters, pedophiles (ie Mr Kelly!) & other horrible individuals. Addiction, former drug dealing criminal ways, growing up hard, etc… Those things can be forgiven & cats can redeem themselves. But a fucking woman beater… & realize just HOW BADLY he beat her…. FUCK THAT!
Also enclosed is a horrible link to how his fans would like him to beat them too. Unfortunately not only is it real but I’ve also heard other females say this to my face as well. SMH!!!

Definition says “a disastrous event”
And it was.
And if his sentence is too light for you…then you need to get into law
And if his fame is too disgusting to you then you need to study psychology and sociology to understand his audience.
All he’s doing is making music, it’s the people (some victims of heinous crimes themselves) who have chosen to accept what happen as a tragedy he has and will never repeat again.
If he stopped making music today, he’d still sell old records. He had fallen off when the white couple made “Forever” hot through their wedding video…
What I’m saying is, the people feel different from you. Not all people..but enough. So holding more hate for Chris Brown then the victim and his fans who he hurt the most does nothing for you or him…

And your link shows 24 misguided white girls , and at least 3 of them were being sarcastic…
How are they “fans”? Did you go to their twitters and see #teambreezy in their bio or a picture of him in their background or a “I love his new song” tweet after it.
No, you see a bunch of teens and young adults trying to get some attention and admit that they’re turned on physically by someone they “shouldn’t” be atrracted too

Breezy and RiRi indeed do have alot of people to be angry at…..but for love and life they both just need to forgive all and live their lives
i hope chris doesn’t add this to any album and just reserves it for his personal journal

If being guilty of domestic violence at 19 is criteria for society’s lifetime condemnation, most of Hollywood & indeed the wider community will have less men working i.e.Mickey Rourke,Sean Penn,Josh Brolin, Mel Gibson etc:
While tmz.com gave us pics of Riri’s face, they kept at the same time praising Mic_Rorke(serial domestic abuser.
MICKEY ROURKE bt Carré Otis
http://www.absolutenow.com/mugshots/mickey_rourke.html
Halle Berry
In 2004, Oscar-winning actress Halle Berry admitted she was hit so hard by one of her ex-boyfriends she lost the hearing in her right ear.
Madonna
While married to actor Sean Penn in the 1980s he was charged with domestic assault. He pleaded to a misdemeanor and the pair divorced in 1989.
Diane Lane
In 2004 Diane Lane phoned police claiming husband John Brolin hit her during an argument at their West Los Angeles home. Brolin was arrested that night for spousal battery although Lane did not press charges.

Seriously the boy can’t put out nothing without people commenting on what happened years ago. Again he was young n made a mistake. No one is excusing what he did, however people need to forgive. People act like he beat them up. Well he didn’t so stop d*#! Riding of his flaws n worry about your own life. If you was living your life you wouldbt have time to worry bout how he’s living his. Let him move on and get his life together. Like everyone who comments on him is perfect. Think about a time you did something you regret. Of it wasn’t for support you wouldbt gotten better. Would you like if people kept putting your flaws on blast every time you said something or went somewhere. People are so annoying. Like let him be. If you don’t like him don’t bye his CDs, go to his concerts, or look at his performances. Plan and simple as that. otherwise shut up cusae nobody cares about how you feel about Chris n Rihanna cusae they still doing them. Worry about important stuff like education or unemployment.

Honestly I’m a fan and I love this song personslly because this song is about how he really feels. I’m not supporting what he did because it wasn’t right but the thing is no matter what happened or who it happened to face that it was wrong even if something different happened and it was small but not right it doesn’t change that both situations were wrong it was a horrible mistake. But really all people care about is that it was Chris brown because this happens everyday and I bet that you wouldn’t care because their not known like how he is. I think people should put it behind them and stop criticizing because everyone makes mistakes and everybody knows that as well. He has to live with this for the rest of his life because it can’t just be taken away but I think he shouldn’t have to deal with it from the people as well. It happened 3 years ago it sounds you take it personal like he did it to you it’s been awhile since it happened. Face the fact he made a mistake but don’t you think its hard enough already, just leave him alone.
