Fishing Blues (2016)












Like A Fire lyrics - Atmosphere

A recording...it's like "Hi this is a recording" and then....

I was born on a rug made of dogs playing poker
Shoulda never let me cross your border
Sock full of quarters, lost on the corner
Not too high but I'm not too sober
I filled it up just to spill the cup
Better fix your bridges, they're still corrupt
My dreams are vivid, I don't wish for wishes
You know nobody that beats the business
And I don't even miss when it was all so simple
Sick off the vino, kicking out the window
Sometimes life's like the card game War
Hide a couple knives in the silverware drawer

Loot like a cop then deploy of troops
Got heavy artillery shootin' from the rooftop
She can't see me when I move through the nuance
What, so what, so what you want, huh?

Run wild like a man on fire
Get live like a roof on fire
Make love like a world on fire
Burn out like a fire
Run wild like a man on fire
Get live like a roof on fire
Make love like a world on fire
Burn out like a fire

I figured out that you're fraudulent
I hope you feel that that's a compliment
'Cause you've been hollering the phony rhetoric for a minute
We outta give you a ribbon for the commitment
It's no squabble, salute, I raise my bottle
To the fact that you found a few fools who would follow
We live for the now cause there ain't no tomorrow
But my mixtape still needs an outro
And you can mark these words with a Sharpie
We make party as long as there's a heartbeat
I'm like a Harley, you're like a Hardly
Get behind me, Satan, you can't harm me

I'm not scared of the flood, squaring up
When Armageddon come, I turn the stereo up
Making love in the back of an American truck
Bust a nut, jump up and hit the airhorn button, what?

Run wild like a man on fire
Get live like a roof on fire
Make love like a world on fire
Burn out like a fire
Run wild like a man on fire
Get live like a roof on fire
Make love like a world on fire
Burn out like a fire

Ringo lyrics - Atmosphere

I think I'm still drunk from last night
I woke up in a lawn chair
I feel faint like an old ass flashlight
I don't remember how I got there
Waiting at the train stop
Hoping that the rain stop
The pain throbs at the front of the skull
I should have took the day off, looking for a pay off
The brainwash is insufferable
I'm on purpose, coffee in a thermos
Squint like Clint tryna spot me in the cursive
Missing persons, lost in your costumes
Blood, moon and a boombox full of volume
If I had the authority I would probably
Make everybody throw their hands in the sky
And everything I said in this song would be classified
And all of y'all would be captured alive

I might've showed up when the party start
I might've got high with your bodyguard
I might've passed out at the airport bar
Everybody wanna see a falling star
I might've thrown up in a rental car
I might've woke up in a reservoir
I might've got robbed at Mardi Gras
Everybody wanna see a falling star

Everybody wanna see a falling star
Everybody wanna see a falling star
Everybody wanna see a falling star
Everybody wanna see a falling star

Once upon a time in the next few days
I gotta wake up and get out of the shade
I might put on a beat down pair of Chucks
My old swimming trunks
And Amir says nothing in my earbuds
Just me and my beer gut
I absorb it before I get deported back to orbit
Over the winter I remain indoors
I want the summer in my city to feel like a rain forest
And you know we should skinny dip
In the middle of the Mississip
Do a couple of spins and shit, synchronicity flips
A three-sixty finish, Twin Cities bitch
And I don't care 'bout what y'all think
Dressed up like a cop, stuck up the bank
The police came in some Russian tanks
And I'm in jail with nothing to drink

I might've showed up when the party start
I might've got high with your bodyguard
I might've passed out at the airport bar
Everybody wanna see a falling star
I might've thrown up in a rental car
I might've woke up in a reservoir
I might've got robbed at Mardi Gras
Everybody wanna see a falling star

Everybody wanna see a falling star
Everybody wanna see a falling star
Everybody wanna see a falling star
Everybody wanna see a falling star

I want a snack machine on the party bus
Your flag is green, in God we trust
You were born in sin, we were born in debt
I guess this is about as feel good as it gets
I want Wonderbread wrapped in rubber bands
It's not too much to understand
I wanna color the world but only got one Crayon
Reach for the sky, try to touch my hand

I might've showed up when the party start
I might've got high with your bodyguard
I might've passed out at the airport bar
Everybody wanna see a falling star
I might've thrown up in a rental car
I might've woke up in a reservoir
I might've got robbed at Mardi Gras
Everybody wanna see a falling star

Everybody wanna see a falling star
Everybody wanna see a falling star
Everybody wanna see a falling star
Everybody wanna see a falling star

Besos lyrics - Atmosphere

One up, never still if the sun up
It's all love until the GOV see you come up
It's like a jungle never know what's gonna run up
We just wanna live forever with the thumbs up
Barcelona, no stops got the bump up
Smart phone in case cops pull the gun up
Artichoke, heart's soft, mock duck tough
Garçon, bring a cup of that young drunk
I ain't ya boy baby, you got me fucked up
Wait, let me state it plainly, shut the fuck up
Trust don't occupy space with dumb luck
Hush, fuzz got the tour bus bugged up
Shhh

Dirty like the wheels on a dump truck
Birds snuck through the security with nun chucks
Adrenaline rush, the whole party jump up
I flood nut on her sponge butt

It goes, people people
I love the way you love the people people
People people
I love the way you love the people people
People people
I love the way you love the people people

People
From everywhere gather around, uh uh

Now, too playa, too clean for spoons
Got a, routine 'cause I fiend for structure
But cha, shooting at the ring and the moon
Screaming, fuck the world, 'cause that girl don't love ya

There's a few dreams to choose
But if they let you keep your shoe strings
They don't want you to suffer
And if you're blessed you can haunt each other
In a city of ghosts where the vultures flutter
Now, mood swings a convenient excuse
Seems that there's gotta be something in the butter
Smother the fire before it gets discovered
One foot in the grave, the other foot in the gutter, uh

Boosting any loose thing, if it ain't screwed down
It becomes prey to my hunger
I take it back to my underground bunker
Stay cool everybody, have an awesome summer

It goes, people people
I love the way you love the people people
People people
I love the way you love the people people
People people
I love the way you love the people people

People from everywhere gather around
Uh uh, uh, now

Bonus, me and my cojónes
Hoping that you never treat me like I'm homeless
Unless it mean you about to see me with some donuts
Or dominate the nomination where your zone is

What you thinking, it's the reason we in show biz
Work like a clown with the squirt guns loaded
Only thing worse than being lonely is coke dick
Word got around and now we call you blow fish

You was pissing in your own bowl of porridge
When I rode across the ocean on the back of a tortoise
Never see me try to act like I'm gorgeous
Greasy mufucker make it party with the Socs

Tweet a picture of my penis to the POTUS
Roll my weed in the papers of some old eviction notices
The police came like a swarm of locusts
Hanky-panky Yanky Doodle of America

Pure Evil lyrics - Atmosphere (feat. I.B.E.)

No, no, no, no, no
Oh no, no, no
I don't believe you, I don't believe you
No, no, no, no, no
Oh no, no, no
This is pure evil, this is pure evil

When I woke up this morning my only intention was
To look in my reflection with mutual respect, yeah
I know I'm more than just a badge and a weapon, but
When you see me comin' you recognize my profession
You should believe that I'ma leave an impression
Even if it means I gotta put my knee on your neck, man
Was never meant for you to pass this test
The last question on the quiz is, 'What the fuck'd you expect, man?'
A little money made him want some protection
Because the many with no money made the money feel threatened
And we accept there's gonna be some exceptions
But it's built on a connection of ownership and possessions
Baby boy, you pay attention to them lessons
If you flexin' any teeth, I'ma send you to the dentist
It all depends on how you fit into my spectrum
From lectures, to handcuffs, to beat downs, to death wish
I was told to tell a one-sided story
And that's why I had to eliminate your perspective
I was afraid for my death
I had to make an assessment
Ain't my day to be checked, I felt the weight on my chest
I was told to tell a one-sided story
So say a prayer cause this one's gone to Heaven
Innocence is a submissive position
It's a one-sided story, read it to your children

No, no, no, no, no
Oh no, no, no
I don't believe you, I don't believe you
No, no, no, no, no
Oh no, no, no
This is pure evil, this is pure evil

No, no, no, no, no
Oh no, no, no

Perfect lyrics - Atmosphere

Fall from the sky just to learn how to fly
Don't even gotta put me in the dirt when I die
I'm not perfect, I try
I'm tryna free my hands, grab the day by the throat
Gotta get a grip but I'm at the end of my rope
I'm not perfect, I know, I know

And if I had a spare moment
I'd probably loan it to somebody who needed to hold it
Life's indecisive, might slice you open
Or show compassion and throw you back into the ocean

I'm tryna keep my faith on the path
But the landscape's full of danger flags
You can change your name and still live in the past
Daddy was the face on a package of Zig-Zags

Fall from the sky just to learn how to fly
Don't even gotta put me in the dirt when I die
I'm not perfect, I try
I try
You might fade away, you might burst in flames
Ain't no reason you should even try to search my name
I'm not perfect, okay?

I'm a father and a son of a Southsider
Mouth full of hot dish, pop-lifer
And this little piggy squealed like a cop's tire
When I set the AUX on fire like it's a box of spiders

You the opposite of truth, you over-produced
You gotta grow more toes, you wanna fill these shoes
You gotta make love like there's nothin' to lose
You wanna wake up the world but there's a button for snooze

Fall from the sky just to learn how to fly
Don't even gotta put me in the dirt when I die
I'm not perfect, I try
I try, I try
We gotta work it out 'cause I ain't turning around
The same person that I was when the curtains were down
I'm not perfect, what now?
Huh, what now?

Some say that I pass, none say that I'm passive
White trash with a fraction of Blackness
My mathematics got Native blood too
But no matter where I stand, either way it's fuck you
I've never been a victim of police harassment
And I knew what they seen when I turned job absent
Irish name, Scandinavian frame
I'm a Rubik's cube, I'm the American dream

Check it out
I'm a feminist, I'm also a misogynist
Spit like an arsonist, dick like an obelisk
And I promise if you ever hear me contradict myself
It's not a sign of the apocalypse
I've been an asshole before it was fashionable
And when it's out of style, I'll be the last to know
And if Illuminati listenin', I don't wanna plateau
Who I have to blow to play the halftime show, huh?

Fall from the sky just to learn how to fly
Don't even gotta put me in the dirt when I die
I'm not perfect, I try
Lord knows I try
On the day of death, may you deserve respect
Don't ever forget that it was worth your breath
I'm not perfect, not yet
Not yet
Not yet

I'm not perfect but I'm this, that and this

Seismic Waves lyrics - Atmosphere

Armageddon started, I guess it wasn't that hard to miss
It didn't trip the alarm on your hybrid
Carbon footprint, the darts are rigged
And I'm a big fan of carbs and the artist Prince

There's a marginal risk that your cards won't hit
It's like tryna borrow a barbecue rib from a starving kid
Be thankful if your stars are lit
Or you might get caught between the Charmin and shit

The armor fits to stay outta harm's grip
But Karma's a bitch so when your heartbeat quits
Consider all the death you've invested with
The shoes, the booze, the phone that you textin' with

Disrespecting gets Second Amendment-ed
But the species still seem to be trendin'
From the friend zone all the way to the Kremlin
The devil give a fuck about a flag or an emblem

Things ain't been the same since Trayvon, shit
Things ain't been the same since Reagan, wait
Ain't a single thing change from the days
When the gods went crazy and broke the languages

We trying to make these payments
Ain't got the privilege to exhibit the patience
Gone next week, so tonight we lie with no lives to save
Seismic waves

I should jump back and kiss myself
But I've been working on learning to resist myself
I used to think criticism was the definition
Fish swimmin' up a river full of pessimism

I wanna catch one bare-handed
Clean it, cook it, and feed it to Lazarus
All around the planet's the same as Minneapolis
Everybody looking for a little love and happiness

I don't romanticize the rain
And those drugs only hide the pain
Turn up the temperature, high as a plane with non-sequiturs
The tired be trained

And you keep Christoper Walken with the shit that you're talkin'
You can't take it with if it don't fit in your coffin
As a kid, I didn't give it much thought then
Just wanted a mouth full of nipple and a Zippo in my zipper pocket

I remember when the whole world stank like an ashtray; yeah
The good ol' days
I wanna laugh when somebody say 'The Good Ol' Days'
But they was good 'cause we did learn to look both ways

Across a road way like everything'll be okay
Before we go the fuck away like a snowflake
Gone next week but tonight I'm tryna reach those seismic
Climb those seismic waves

I don't need another reason
'Cause I'm leaving with you, with you
I don't need another reason
'Cause I'm sleeping with you, with you
I don't need another reason
'Cause I'm leaving with you, with you
I don't need another reason
'Cause I'm sleeping with you, with you

I don't need another reason
'Cause I'm leaving with you, with you
(I don't need another reason)

Next To You lyrics - Atmosphere (feat. deM atlaS)

[deM atlaS:]
Darlin' you don't even know
I'm lyin' right next to you
Sometime I feel so alone
That I don't know what to do
I don't know why, I don't know why
(I said) I don't know why, I don't know why

I was out with my crew tonight
We were all gettin' super nice
I had so much to drink that you'd think
I'm 'bout to go and paint the bathroom sink... pink!
Rule number 1: always puke alone
The second rule is always puke at home
I guess it's time to go
Didn't see nobody from my family around
So I went outside to flag a taxi down
I told a cab to take 35 south and let the windows down
I gotta air myself out
I put a new piece of gum in my mouth
As the car pulled up right in front of the house
And all that I can think about is how much I love fucking you
I can't wait to get inside
But I never considered that you'd be fast asleep
And now I'm masturbating with some Vaseline
And...

[deM atlaS:]
Darlin' you don't even know
I'm lyin' right next to you
Sometime I feel so alone
That I don't know what to do
I don't know why, I don't know why
(I said) I don't know why, I don't know why

I'd love to press my face into the flesh
In between your pregnant breasts
I'd love to squeeze your butt and make you horny
But I know you gotta wake up in the morning
So I'mma just lay next to you
And think about when I make sex to you
It probably sound kinda perverted, I imagine
But that ain't enough to make me wanna curb my enthusiasm
It feels so right in my left
And I don't think she protest if I don't leave a mess
I disappear into the smell of your hair
And it's becoming apparent that I've become incoherent

With my mind on my business, fist full of carnal
Blurry with the vision I'm spinnin' like a marble
Fade to black way under the shellac
Can't fap, too wasted
If you was awake you'd laugh
And...

[deM atlaS:]
Darlin' you don't even know
I'm lyin' right next to you
Sometime I feel so alone
That I don't know what to do
I don't know why, I don't know why
(I said) I don't know why, I don't know why

[deM atlaS:]
Darlin' you don't even know
I'm lyin' right next to you
Sometime I feel so alone
That I don't know what to do
But I don't know why, I don't know why
No, I don't know why, I don't know why

The Shit That We've Been Through lyrics - Atmosphere

Seven in the morning, locked the door
Put the keys in my bag, next to my passport
Feels like I'm headed towards war
Trying to pretend that I remember what we're fighting for
You're upstairs, passed out asleep
While I'm on the front step staring at the street
Patiently wait for my taxi
Come save me and take me away from reality

The car pulled up at dawn, I put the seat belt on
Everything felt wrong
Stubborn ain't the same as strong
But try to tell that to the queen that the king rides on

Took a look before I hit the road
Your silhouette didn't show up in the window
Well all right then
It's all right then, but something's missing

Girl, I miss you
But I wish you
Could, would
Look, all of this becomes the shit that we've been through
Girl, I miss you
But I wish you
Could, would
Look, all of this becomes the shit that we've been through

When it goes straight to voicemail
You might as well tell me go straight to hell
Ain't nothing new, just suffering through
And that's something that I've become accustomed to

But I'm in love with you, passion born
Like a resource torn from a planet's core
Stole my crown just to examine the thorns
Scatter 'em around on the bathroom floor

A little ink, with a kiss and a wink
But the bigger the stink, the stiffer the drink
And I think this fight started in a past life
Got you sitting on the dark side of the gaslight

Pick up your phone before my plane departs
I'm trying to make a mark in the shape of a heart
Well all right then, we all right then
But something's missing

Girl, I miss you
But I wish you
Could, would
Look all of this becomes the shit that we've been through
Girl, I miss you
But I wish you
Could, would
Look all of this becomes the shit that we've been through

Girl, I miss you
But I wish you
Could, would
Look, all of this becomes the shit that we've been through
Girl, I miss you
But I wish you
The shit that we've been through

When The Lights Go Out lyrics - Atmosphere (feat. DOOM & Kool Keith)

[Slug:]
Do you remember that knife you wouldn't part with?
You kept it sharp just to carve my fuckin' heart like a park bench
Well, I found it this morning in a Southside bus stop
And I'm smiling for this mugshot
That's when I knew the plan was bound to fail
By the time you hear this song I'll be singing it from down at county jail
Still filled to the maximum
So fuck Bill Clinton with his saxophone

And cut, I'm trying to follow a lit fuse
I must have missed a day's allowance of fish food
Like who's tit do you think that this is dude?
She ain't your bitch to misuse
And when there ain't nothing more to grab
I might give something back to the floor of this cab
I might tag my name on the door of your building
Might even make a couple of your children

[Slug and Kool Keith (MF DOOM):]
When all the lights go out
When the lights go out
When all the lights go out
When the lights go out
When all the lights go out
When the lights go out
When all the lights go out
When the lights go out
(One, two)

[MF DOOM:]
Click is when he go in, we keeps it flowin'
Wrote this poem from a swollen place of deep knowin'
Winter showin', we scared of the dark as night approaches
Until a time comes, some run like roaches

Stop, drop, pop a slug out the mag, tag
Thug it out, brag, hold on to your bug out bag
When he's out on tour and the drink go down
Grab your girl, he might arouse her — yowzers

What dreams may come
Some plot and scheme on the scene, he play dumb
From the load out, true emissary who forever ready
Ask your secretary 'bout the melonberry
It's elementary, fedora or the ski hat
Drawers or dungaree slacks, where you gonna be at?
Don't repeat that, she ain't the type no doubt
If she wanna eat it's goin' right in her mouth

[Slug and Kool Keith:]
When all the lights go out
When the lights go out
When all the lights go out
When the lights go out
When all the lights go out
When the lights go out
When all the lights go out
When the lights go out

[Kool Keith:]
Yeah, you know it's like...you know. All this political stuff, you know what I'm saying? This gossip on TV. You know everybody tryna get they talk on. You know the rumors and all that, that's where they make...you know, that's how they make their money. You know, talking' about things, but you know...we a part of that. You see what happen? Money don't mean nothing, it really don't, money don't mean a damn thing. You see what happened to Joan Rivers? All that money for her face and skin and...vain? You know what I'm saying? I might just walk up to one of these motherfuckin' super stars and pull their wig off

No Biggie lyrics - Atmosphere

She said "No biggie"
Territorial enough to try to build a wall around the whole city
Make it pretty with some Deutsch graffiti
Got a ex tattooed underneath the bikini
She was encyclopedia thick
She got a fanbase, everybody speak with a fist
And you can think about her 'til the heartbeat skips
Make sure you got the name up on the marquee big
I got such a bad feeling
The last time you heard me say that, we were burnt alive
Roadkill on the grill, gas turned up high
Stepped off the patio with the courage to fly
We all wanna find a bridge to the upside
While you pretend to be dead on the inside
Take a photo with the number one loser
Trying to get used to living in the future
Years ago you were a different you
Attitude of a hot bowl of cat food
Opened it up like, yeah motherfucker so what?
We all grow up, what happened to you, what's the holdup?
Throw your nose up bourgeois character
Trying to claim careless wearing an air freshener
You blow a lot of stink, I promise
You're not bold enough to take your mask off in the populace
So make believe, you ain't what you claim to be
It's obvious painfully
Why you wanna play games with me?
I'm nobody act like you ain't plainly see
She only hears so she can hear you cry
I'm trying to cherish life, you're trying to steer on ice
I wanna put my DNA in your American pie
There's no life after death, I'm not ready to die

When I was younger, I didn't think that I would live for as long
When I was younger, I didn't think that I would live for as long
When I was younger, I didn't think that I would live for as long
For as long as I've been living it

Everything lyrics - Atmosphere

When I was younger, I didn't think that I would live
For as long as I've been living it
And I ain't saying I expected to die before that number got high
Just never deliberately considered it, go figure it
Who'da known I'd 'a had so many kids
And the first one's grown n' doesn't answer his phone
The third sun from the stone got me supposing
I'm supposed to focus on keeping this home
Outta foreclosure from all four corners
Feels like I'm riding on an old roller-coaster
The ghost of Christmas sober
Mostly, but I'mma overdose on these four leaf clovers
You can dance like a crash survivor
You can laugh or cry, whatever pacifies you
Funny how time flies
Till my family sets my raft on fire

I don't pretend to be cool, don't pretend to be young
I don't pretend to be smart, don't pretend to be dumb
I don't pretend to be hard, don't pretend to be first
And most of all I don't pretend to be concerned
I don't pretend to be rich, don't pretend to be broke
I don't pretend to be asleep, don't pretend to be woke
I don't pretend to be deep, don't pretend to be clean
I'm everything and everything that's in between

They said you only get one life
But I lived at least four lives in the life I'm living in now
And if I could handwrite what they say when I'm gone
It's that he said everything that he could fit in his mouth
I got the coldest shoulders in the solar system
I know because I drove around this whole existence
Resistance to personal growth seems suspicious
What, you really didn't want to go the distance?
I don't stand still, wander off, I'm a drifter
Look at the bigger, digital, panoramic picture
You catch a panic attack from tryna handle the facts
You inanimate on a map
Wait though, I'll never be finished, infinity
Grateful for every opportunity you give to me
And when the time's right, y'all can lighten up
Like there's too much life to love

I don't pretend to be cool, don't pretend to be young
I don't pretend to be smart, don't pretend to be dumb
I don't pretend to be hard, don't pretend to be first
And most of all I don't pretend to be concerned
I don't pretend to be rich, don't pretend to be broke
I don't pretend to be asleep, don't pretend to be woke
I don't pretend to be deep, don't pretend to be clean
I'm everything and everything that's in between

Chasing New York lyrics - Atmosphere (feat. Aesop Rock)

I used to be in love with Brooklyn
Way before I ever got to go to Brooklyn
And I really enjoyed the first time I stayed there
But disappointed about how clean them trains were
Spray paint to debate the claim
But she say "the fake fur don't taste the same"
But your chips on your church and save your place
But first make sure that that's the ace of spades, huh
You know you got it made in the fade
When the worst case scenario's a big bowl of cereal
I tried to state my case to the stewardess
To let me take the steering wheel, but they don't hear me though
I know that I could fly this bitch and if the bitch don't fly I'll build a pirate ship
And when the bottle tips, the model hits the ground
But they love you whenever you're around

You know, still got a long way to go
But I ain't the only one to put it all on the road
You know, grow up just to take up space
We don't need an excuse to chase what we chase
Still got a long way to go
But I ain't the only one to put it all on the road
You know, judge us on the love that we make
We don't need an excuse to chase what we chase

But the frame didn't fall when the mirror broke
I can't recall what life was like a year ago
Spit it on the front row, disappear, I'm ghost
Call me Smokey like I'm rolling with some miracles (coals)
I got a yard full of love, it grows like a garden with guards to guard it
Around the same time that this party started
We was on the red carpet with artist access
Shooting down garbage for target practice
Martians living in the margin
Imagine the clean streets and the dirty police
We tryna keep the peace while disturbin' the peace
You know, hitchhike to the mountain's top
To take a picture of the peak that surrounds your thoughts
And my favorite spot to catch a drink still be down the block
From wherever you sleep

You know, still got a long way to go
But I ain't the only one to put it all on the road
You know, grow up just to take up space
We don't need an excuse to chase what we chase
Still got a long way to go
But I ain't the only one to put it all on the road
You know, judge us on the love that we make
We don't need an excuse to chase what we chase

[Aesop Rock:]
All these days are numbered
Falling forward, failing upwards
All these roads to Eden
Maps to nowhere, cold to breathe in
All these days are numbered
Falling forward, failing upwards
All these roads to Eden
Maps to nowhere, cold to breathe in
All these days are numbered
Falling forward, failing upwards
All these roads to Eden
Maps to nowhere, cold to breathe in
All these days are numbered
Falling forward, failing upwards
All these roads to Eden
Maps to nowhere...it's cold

If your hands get free, abandon ship
Uhm I think parrots are danky

Sugar lyrics - Atmosphere

You're such a sweet thing
You're such a sweet thing
You're such a sweet thing
You so, you so

Tell me, have you ever been addicted to somebody
Still functioning within the melancholy
Baby's mommy got me raw like a zombie
Prolly won't stop until she murder me softly
Vanity is such a popular scene
We could build a family out of the crop of the cream
It's you plus me, we followin' dreams
So why we treat each other like we on the opposite teams, huh?
And I'm not sure what I'm supposed to say
I'm trying to play without my poker face
I put the joker in a shoulder holster
Underneath the floor in a hole
And I'ma save it for a stormy day
And if the clouds break tint
The sun will brush it off like it's all made of lint
Silly you, gimme kiss, never say you never gave me nothing
Cause you gave me shit

You're such a sweet thing
You're such a sweet thing
You're such a sweet thing
You so, you so
You're such a sweet thing
You're so mean to me and me and me
You're such a sweet thing
You so, you so

Sometimes I wonder if you're fucking with my head
Some kinda monster living underneath the bed
But forever I'ma ride with you, one hundred percent
Even when I never fully understand whatever you said
Feels like I'm looking at something, painful
A little illustration of an angel
You're like a tattoo that's on my eyeball
I'm blind from the shine of your halo
Girl, my imagination is the busiest
Why you trying to match wits with an idiot?
Passion is the measuring stick
We qualify, we set the world on fire
Just to burn up all the pretty shit
I promise you, that I'm accountable
Probably trying to prove, our love
That it's possible
Now paint a portrait of complaints
But when it makes a mess, confess the stains

You're such a sweet thing
You're such a sweet thing
You're such a sweet thing
You so, you so
You're such a sweet thing
You're so mean to me and me and me
You're such a sweet thing
You so, you so

It must be the devil when I taste her sweat
It's the sweetest
Might forfeit just to reach an agreement
Throw the fight and then I'll hold you tight
Poke a hole in the lid so we don't suffocate and choke tonight
I know I prolly ain't right
But I'm just right
We thug life for the love life
And look at where we took it
But you ain't have to cook it for me
Sugar ain't good for me
Sugar ain't

You're such a sweet thing
You're such a sweet thing
You're such a sweet thing
You so, you so
You're such a sweet thing
You're so mean to me and me and me
You're such a sweet thing
You so, you so

You such a, you such a
You so, you so
You such a you such a
You so, you so

Fishing Blues lyrics - Atmosphere (feat. The Grouch)

I realize that we ain't the same
But you might appreciate it if I try to explain
While I'm sitting in the middle of a lake
Gotta find a fish to come and nibble on the bait
I'mma set the stage for the challenge
I'mma meditate just for practice
I'mma concentrate on my balance
I'mma contemplate on this canvas
I'm a bandit running with a stolen moment
The careful arrow, narrow focus
Gotta roll with both eyes open
Quality of life feels like I'm floating
Trying to make this minute stretch
'Cause what's in my face is so picturesque
I mean, it even made me quit the cigarettes
I mean, shit I guess I got a fish to catch

[The Grouch:]
Just like an answered calling
When I drop this line in the water
Keep fishing man with a vision
Look brother I saw the future
Look past I'll draw it for you
Strong words of an old soul
"Don't rock my boat" I told them
Reel em' in throw em' back slow

Everything looks clear in hindsight
If you can adjust to the twilight
Trying to live enough life to last a lifetime
Roll with the ride like I'm supposed to survive
How you know that you alive?
If you ain't fighting for a mouthful of future?
This ain't business as usual, check the tackle
Box full of beautiful, look like shrapnel
Break the cycle and the old mistakes
But the boat obeys the waves
And then the little fish spoke as it broke away
It said, "Know limits, but know with a 'K'"
Yesterday's catch will cook tomorrow
Right now I gotta do what I gotta
Took a time out from the human drama
Put my line in the water now who wanna holler?

[The Grouch:]
Just like an answered calling
When I drop this line in the water
Keep fishing man with a vision
Look brother I saw the future
Look past I'll draw it for you
Strong words of an old soul
"Don't rock my boat" I told them
Reel em' in throw em' back slow
Just like an answered calling
When I drop this line in the water
Keep fishing man with a vision
Look brother I saw the future
Look past I'll draw it for you
Strong words of an old soul
"Don't rock my boat" I told them
Reel em' in throw em' back slow

Won't Look Back lyrics - Atmosphere (feat. Kim Manning)

[Kim Manning:]
Any way that the cold wind blows
I'll go 'cause you ruined my home
Be leaving and I won't look back
Follow my life, I can't save my past
Any way that the cold wind blows
I'll go 'cause you ruined my home
Be leaving and I won't look back
Follow my life, I can't save my past

[Slug:]
First love, who was your first love?
And I ain't talking about your first crush
I'm referring to the first one that make you wanna curl up
Or get you worked up enough to try to burn the world up
And I don't care about your regrets
You can keep those secrets to death
I don't need to know what you speak underneath each breath
But we learning how to read what's in between the text
And when you feel like enough was felt
If you ain't tryin' to eat another helping of hell
That's when you tell farewell to that well you fell down
Fall out the frame, take care of yourself now
It's no thang, come out of the cold rain
Make giant steps, gotta catch the cold train
Everybody wishin' on some better days
Don't let the storm door hit ya, and don't ever change

[Kim Manning:]
Any way that the cold wind blows
I'll go 'cause you ruined my home
Be leaving and I won't look back
Follow my life, I can't save my past
Any way that the cold wind blows
I'll go 'cause you ruined my home
Be leaving and I won't look back
Follow my life, I can't save my past

[Slug:]
Second guess your own instinct
Probably best to just listen and think
And don't expect anything less than the kitchen sink
It feel like you're still trying to lead a horse to drink
And I don't dig dramatic
But it was signal static when the thunder struck
It doesn't matter how much clean the vulture up
It never look like a dove, you still gave it your blood
And that's love, I never hated your guts
I never even understood where that phrase was from
But why would you believe that I could trust your touch
If you would never make me wanna sleep in my truck?
It's more than a drug
It's more than any liquor you could pour from a jug
Trying to find a little bit of normal on the bus with the windows cracked
It's why we don't look back, it's like we won't be back, right?

[Kim Manning:]
Any way that the cold wind blows
I'll go 'cause you ruined my home
Be leaving and I won't look back
Follow my life, I can't save my past
Any way that the cold wind blows
I'll go 'cause you ruined my home
Be leaving and I won't look back
Follow my life, I can't save my past

[Slug:]
Third time's a charm, you've heard that before
Display the scar, you've earned that at war
Turnt on alarm, a guard at the door
But ripped out the heart, was par for the course
But if the furnace doesn't burn at the core
Maybe your purpose ain't to learn anymore
Dinosaur can't soar if he trying to snore
And ain't nobody leaving with a perfect score on the board
But we never got bored of the wind
The memory of how it tore through the skin
By the end of the week it's gonna weaken
Pinned in between depend and discipline
Can't nobody judge but we can pretend
We got it all figured out, no questions left
When the truth is we never even move one step
Just do it all over again and again and again

[Kim Manning:]
Any way that the cold wind blows
I'll go 'cause you ruined my home
Be leaving and I won't look back
Follow my life, I can't save my past
Any way that the cold wind blows
I'll go 'cause you ruined my home
Be leaving and I won't look back
Follow my life, I can't save my past

[Kim Manning:]
Any way that the cold wind blows
I'll go 'cause you ruined my home
Be leaving and I won't look back
Follow my life, I can't save my past
Any way that the cold wind blows
I'll go 'cause you ruined my home
Be leaving and I won't look back
Follow my life, I can't save my past

Anybody That I've Known lyrics - Atmosphere

In my past
I'd wish for something different from what's within my grasp
Now I've grown
I wouldn't trade my world with anybody that I've known
As a child
I'd try to find a way to be OK with how I smile
Now I've grown
I wouldn't trade my world with anybody that I've known
Anybody that I've known

Look at my face
So many miles I can't complain
I won't complain, I don't complain
I might complain, but still told the truth
My water stay running, but my food don't move
I make a size 12 footprint
Make love to my wife, make music with my real friends
My voice make enough noise for the books
Then I hunt these woods to catch dinner for my children
Got me dreaming I could reach through the phone
And kiss the family good night then sleep like a stone
Hotel, motel, feel at home if you play a little Nina Simone
Don't quit your day job, this is my day job
It won't stop a single raindrop
I gotta get money to purchase a space pod
Then fly up to heaven in person and thank God

In my past
I'd wish for something different from what's within my grasp
Now I've grown
I wouldn't trade my world with anybody that I've known
As a child
I'd try to find a way to be OK with how I smile
Now I've grown
I wouldn't trade my world with anybody that I've known
Anybody that I've known

I'm all about the sarcasm and optimism
I'm kinda like a bumper sticker
Listen, you're kinda like an artist, you got the vision
Looking at the mirror like it's competition
And it's always trippin', but you're not intimidated
We all tryna stay alive and innovative
Everybody aiming at the face of similar limitations
We all cut from the same pavement
If you and I are gonna search through this universe together
First gotta desert the center
Some of us will be mad at the world forever
And some of us don't even curse the weather
Whether or not I gave it everything that I got
It won't stop a single raindrop
But when it finally wash my finger-paints off
I'm tryna make sure it don't spell my name wrong

In my past
I'd wish for something different from what's within my grasp
Now I've grown
I wouldn't trade my world with anybody that I've known
As a child
I'd try to find a way to be OK with how I smile
Now I've grown
I wouldn't trade my world with anybody that I've known
Anybody that I've known

Still Be Here lyrics - Atmosphere

I didn't believe that I could have anything else to share
I mean that I knew I could help somewhere
But I never felt as bare as when I felt your stare
That's what I get for thinking that I'm self-aware

We purposely search for what the purpose be
But the truth is I wasn't even present in the currently
I coulda been a phone call for an emergency
From some hotel on Bourbon Street

I try to keep reminding my mind that what's mine
It's just a asinine way to pass the time
Go, hold your kids 'fore they grow too big
Like a minute is forever when a memory's a gift

Give this one to anyone
No box, no lines made of dots, no labels or locks
Gotta brave through the pain that we're shaking it off
Shave with the crane and aim for the top

I wanna give you the world like it was mine to share
I'll still be here, I'll still be here
You'll always have my words, I try to speak 'em clear
I'll still be here, I'll still be here

And if that don't work, I might be unprepared
But I'll still be here, I'll still be here
From the bad to the worst, my love's sincere
I'ma still be here, I'll still be

And I'll still be fascinated by the freedom of wings
I wanna know what you dream with no strings
Looking at shadows and the shapes on the ceiling
Make a little noise to communicate your feelings
I feel fortunate, I found fulfillment
I see my father in the faces of my children
I'm so vain that my heart's like a rooster
You make it hard to be afraid of the future

And when I hear you singin' along
I remember that I'll never be alone again
Judge me on what I depend upon
I want forever to spend with my fam' and my friends

And I still be guilty
Of challenging the people that balance and build me
That's why I'm speaking to you and when you reach it too
You can pick up the pieces and see what it do

I wanna give you the world like it was mine to share
I'll still be here, I'll still be here
You'll always have my words, I try to speak 'em clear
I'll still be here, I'll still be here

And if that don't work, I might be unprepared
But I'll still be here, I'll still be here
From the bad to the worst, my love's sincere
I'ma still be here, I'll still be

And I ain't gonna front like I deserve your love
I'm still trying to learn to love
It's my long term ambition
But the burden burns so big you can't miss it
It was worth the tears
I want my verses to persevere
I don't need a souvenir to prove that I was here
'Cause ever since you appeared, it's been a happy new year

I'd give you the world like it was mine to share
I'll still be here, I'll still be here
You'll always have my words, I try to speak 'em clear
I'll still be here, I'll still be here

And if that don't work, I might be unprepared
But I'll still be here, I'll still be here
From the bad to the worst, my love's sincere
I'ma still be here, I'll still be

A Long Hello lyrics - Atmosphere

Let's make a bonfire
I got a blanket in my trunk
One blanket, and we could wrap it around both of us
The lake is beautiful this time of night

I wanna listen to your breath
While I look at the moon
Plus, plus I got you this overpriced iced latte
Look at the stars, check this out

There's far too many breakup songs
And there's not enough songs about the moment we met
A lot of words get spread, the pain, shame, and regret
And I'm not holdin' my breath for any change to the sketch

But I hope to death somebody can sing about
The countless times that we found a way to even out
Even though we were born to work with these hands
It's in the plan for us to learn the insecurity dance

It goes: make a party as the method to prevent it
I'm so sorry you reacted so defensive
If I could lend an unsolicited suggestion
Don't even know if I'd recommend that you paid attention

They told me "Hell never felt so good"
But I could tell that they only tryna sell some books
"Look, y'all know that I would help if I could"
But I was too busy tryna nail myself to some wood

There's more songs praising the people we went to prison with
Than there are praising the people we make children with
And I ain't saying either one is more legitimate
But it'd be ridiculous to think that it's coincidence

Shit, I'll never be the best at this
I write songs that I'm living in, welcome to my sweatshirt
I think it's magnificent that you're presently present
Thanks for listening, appreciate your effort

Cinderella, fit your hand in the glove
We on a spaceship, crash land from above
We on a lazy river, fly fishing for love
We on a double barrel shotgun, hunting for dove

Life is just a song, I hope that it's long
It starts with "hello" and it goes till I die
If I did know it all I'd at least attempt to clarify
Why we try to over-emphasize the goodbyes

We try to over-emphasize the goodbyes
We always over-emphasize the goodbyes
So just pretend this is a long hello
So just pretend this is a long hello
You can pretend this is a long hello

Ear Blister lyrics - Atmosphere

It's plan to see, you can't change me
Cuz I'mma beat boy for life
It's plan to see, you can't change me
Cuz I'mma beat boy for life
Now let's get it straight, cuz this is not as straight as ever gonna get
I'm not taking all the shit
I got a hundred of kids that but your lips
At my signal kids get stuck like a big towel slugs
Hit by this, it's over...of telling kids to get up of my swalling deck
But hell we rip, don't tell me shit
That's irrelevant, I'm yelling fits on the stage like I run page elephant
I'm negligent but back it up, I men
So the skills just claim and spouse feel the same
Might want it off when I put the thoughts of your accomplishments
I can't believe that you float the shits, unconscious
It's where I want to hit you plus your partner cuz she's a bitch too
This whole situation makes me wanna giggle just a little
Yeah I'm fake so you can need a dick with cheese and pickle

I will provable like sell over your head
I wait the way and lost yei in the stuck will need those
I feel you off the rhyme like a banana splotch
You down the middle
Now you from a seconds half
Might call this crazy and catch the pokes that's lazy
And now you sleeping, end this cuz I bend this mic like obstruclty
I know exactly you like me, and throw up your nose and pick a winenr
Just the beginning, I'm gonna end to your fix wisdom, mix your life cool combination
Cuz the frustration to farther for hands and might tense and get murder
Or course it never accord to your spur a moment
I find this and we land this is time
To kill up you suckers, so now you breath like after history
It's just me and the Slug cause ear blisters

Here mister, I hope you catch an ear blister
Here mister, I hope you catch an ear blister
Here mister, I hope you catch an ear blister
Here mister, I hope you catch an ear blister

Fox to the terry, need peatrico, kick the tactic
The spun bring it on like it ridiculer
Wages equivalent send your shit to the pavement, will be pavement
Throwing fets like [?] now you lost it
Lose in from the bruising
Now I'm choosing the dude that improvement
Dealing seconds, recognize your instructor
Motherfucker, slap shot like a hockey poker
Use my roll clips take your eye and smoke it
Reservation, right your name on the wallet
And then I access to the next shit
Cuz I bag shit, I wreck shit, leave you anorexic
And I text it like man I got the method
Slug is my reference purple essence
This is century grab a pentad
Three pads and a note book
You still shuck like you load 0-s
Hate in mirrors like the train, train it's stuck
There's enough skills and you like
So fuck you, you throw and you back bag and gone

Atmosphere my man, yo, I spend the better potion of my years as a fan
I'm too hard to play with
Big boys getting lifted of the lift that I consume
I catch you buzzin' 'til they sniffing bugs and the slug is coming
Lift this motherfucker verbal pshicosis
No I am allergic to your flow kids running as my noses
They names are typed addict
I rhyme this fast action
I bust angels and bust and take the bust banges
I let you mom roab the napes on my render
Before I try to see ya, I flow like dearer shit, I might just feat you
But if you rock don't even waste your time bumbening
I wanna repeat the ego, and leaded by the cannabis
I'mma grab a shot and get it stick and I'mma stab you in the pancreas
Just can't read all sign one big fat contract
I said yes cuz I was bust from the contract
I run inside the head truck
I give the kid his credit, I rip the bible and risk
I got you twist it, in the brain, more mystic space
All this fucking fake kids make me wanna brake shit
Take this

Here mister, I hope you catch an ear blister
Here mister, I hope you catch an ear blister
Here mister, I hope you catch an ear blister
Here mister, I hope you catch an ear blister

Finer Things lyrics - Atmosphere (feat. deM atlaS)

[DeM atlaS:]
I never had those finer things
Those finer things in life, oh
I never worry about a thing
About a thing in life, oh
I never had those finer things
Those finer things in life, oh
I never worry about a thing
About a thing in life, oh

[Slug:]
I'm laughing at me, not with me
One hand to keep the other hand clean
The full moon looked like a tangerine
Fell out of the sky to land into the sea
But, when I drifted up on that beach
Previous presidents got impeached
Then she put me on the longest leash
I feel like a new drug on these streets
And ain’t nobody in denial
I’ll eat your dinner off the kitchen tile
Never been afraid to go the extra mile
Just wanna see you flex your sexy smile
Woke up on the bottom of a fox nest
Top heavy like a cop’s vest
But I gotta put it in the context
She’s not an object, she’s a bomb threat

[DeM atlaS:]
I never felt the world explode
Until it was too late, oh
You had me when you lost me then
I found I couldn’t stay, oh
Sometimes you were around the hours
I wish you were away, oh
The things we want ignite in flames
Sit back and watch the parade, oh

[Slug:]
It’s just her and me and some cheap balloons
Turn the key and sing the tunes
The full moon looked like a macaroon
I feel invisible ‘til the afternoon
But everybody wanna catch a star
To try to recharge that electric spark
Crash a car, and set it in park
But she’ll smash his ceramic heart, like a dead guitar
No spotlight not the type that needs vacancy to occupy
Gotta put that rabbit back into the magic act
Astronauts but they’ll launch your Cadillac
No stop light, no basis to apologize
Fight for that right to love, that’s what life is of
Look up high you can see us fly above

[DeM atlaS:]
I never had those finer things
Those finer things in life, oh
I never worry about a thing
About a thing in life, oh
I never had those finer things
Those finer things in life, oh
I never worry about a thing
About a thing in life, oh
I never had those finer things
Those finer things in life, oh
I never worry about a thing
About a thing in life, oh
I never had those finer things
Those finer things in life, oh
I never worry about a thing
About a thing in life, oh

Fireflies lyrics - Atmosphere (feat. Grieves)

[Verse 1: Slug]
It doesn't matter who you are
You're just another superstar
Everybody gets to shine at the hotel bar
With the fireflies that fell in the jar
Ain't even trying to get free
Buzzin' around is fine with me
That's why I keep one eye on the clock
The other eye on my drink
Make it link like a lock, the timing is key
Got my hands tied up still climbing this tree
So can't none judge what my crisis might be
Everything will even out when I finally sleep
Tipsy dreaming about being a pirate at sea
Huh, I hear the sirens singing for someone else to listen
Got me thinking I avoided a bullet
But a lot of my vision was under blurry conditions
I watched from the top of a volcano of bullshit
Which came first, the thirst or the curse?
Most can't distinguish which one is worse
Bartender in the tuxedo shirt, with the sleeves rolled up
Cause she's seen enough dirt, whatever
Look, I don't know if the ocean is close but
I'mma keep going til I no longer float
Aight, So quit trying to micromanage my emotions
Keep the glass half full or keep the tab open
Last call for alcohol protocol
The television that's attached to the wall
It show a basketball game with the volume off
And I don't know who's playing but I know I'm not
It goes

[Chorus:]
I feel like a firefly
I chase all the fireflies
I feel like a firefly
I chase all the fireflies

[Verse 2: Grieves]
It doesn't matter what you think
Either way it's all relative
The buzzing from the neon lights
Is like a sedative, I follow it
Into outer space like an Apollo ship
Coasting off the bottom shelf booze and the klonopin
I'm lost, wrote my room number on the fob
Put a dollar in the jukebox, ordered up a shot
Now everything is frozen just floating flickering dots
As we fade into the night without ever giving it thought
But that's the idea, we don't come for the atmosphere
The food's shitty, the cable's blurred but I'm happy here
We're all alone but ain't nobody keeping tabs there
Cause misery's a meal that's served better with a glass of beer
Yeah, so fill it up and let me sulk
Smelling like whiskey and complimentary soap
It's the same four bars in every city I go
Surrounded by fireflies just trying to find their glow

[Chorus:]
I feel like a firefly
I chase all the fireflies
I feel like a firefly
I chase all the fireflies

My Best Half lyrics - Atmosphere

The first time I met my wife was on a Wednesday night
Making party in a German bar
Murs was there, the rap-off at the Gasthof
Check it out, true story

I got something on my mind, can I leave it with you?
I'm still feeling you and all the things that you do
Remember Wednesday nights in that basement bar
You never that that hip hop would take it this far (sorry)
Hellbound we must have drowned in a bottle of some rusty brown
Running town to town like shut 'em down
Shut 'em, shut 'em, what?
When the buzz wore off you still stuck around
And when I think of all the lines we stepped
And the tolerance required to forgive and forget
When I reflect on the boundaries and limits we set
I recognize neither one of us is innocent
Look I'm just a song writer, I'm not a wrong righter
But I'm alive and I'm proof
Survival ain't exclusive to the strong
We all tryna keep it calm
So this goes to anyone who sings along

Come on, I never said I'm the best
I can't watch my step when I'm watching you step
But baby I'mma do my best
You got me under your spell like I was under arrest
And I ain't never said I'm the best
No special effects, I wanna touch you flesh
But baby I'mma do my best
Love connection, love, respect
I never said I'm the best
You can check for better, but don't hold your breath
But baby I'mma do my best
We were both impressed, it felt so correct
And I ain't never said I'm the best
Sometimes I forget but I know I'm blessed
But baby I'mma do my....
From the first time that we met, you're my best
She made me wait a couple months for some sex
Murs wasn't there
Echo, echo, echo, echo
Delay, delay, delay, delay

She made love to a switchblade
Then stayed over night for a whole decade
That safety net doesn't mean that your nest is safe
Well played, but still called a checkmate
He made love to a rosebush
Drew a crowd, all of y'all can look but don't push
It's a thin line between crime and justice
First you gotta find us, then you can judge us
Outlaws, we far from flawless
We guilty of whatever the accomplice accomplished
And if the cops drop all of the charges
We'll be out all the mall with identical outfits
Like a couple of fly motherfuckers
We married so we don't testify against each other
'Til they name a holiday after Marvin Gaye
That's all I've got to say, you can stop the tape

We know what it's about
Or maybe we're still tryna figure it out
Or maybe it doesn't matter, we couldn't care a lesser amount
We know what it's about
Or maybe we're still tryna figure it out
Or maybe it doesn't matter, we couldn't care a lesser amount

The Muah On Your Cheek lyrics - The Grouch & Atmosphere

Well what's better than a motherfuckin' taco
Not a damn
You're not a man
If you can't control your shadow
I love to share
Yes sir, got better with every battle
I'm not talkin' rap
I'm riding life without a saddle
Bare back so we can feel it
Feel it with every nerve
Grouch don't do regrets
They want breath on every verse
When I was in sixth grade learned how to show my words
Now I'm on that high-grade natural water birth
My daughter's almost 15
I'm still 25
I always had those big dreams
They're still the fuck alive
Sometimes I ride my bike and think about love
She'd never ride my love and think about bikes
Tattoo on my arm now
Rio said that your body's a vessel
Plus you'll get more girls
My child God bless you
My style's mine thank you
A wild card find
In a pile of mess
I got it dialed now finally
I'm conscious of myself that ain't the same as self-conscious
Just cause you rich don't mean you wealthy
That's nonsense

Until the end of time
I'm probably tryin' to find a way to climb inside you
To hide from the demons in the storms
Keep me in your prayers
Protect me with your warmth
Let me take a bath in ya
Baptize me
I want to be lathered up in your good bacteria
Every time I'm near
It's appearance is in the figure of divine feminine
Holy spirit mother superior
Let me be your passenger
Take me on a voyage
I'm so enamored with ya
I'm voiceless
Even with your mask on
I recognize the joy of when you cracked the code
And realized your antidote
To counteract the poison

She said life is brief
Let's try to treat it like there's time to dream
That's when I woke up from my sleep
Then first I put the brush to my teeth
Then put the muah on your cheek

This Lonely Rose lyrics - Atmosphere (feat. Aesop Rock & Blueprint)

[Verse 1: Slug]
I parked on a vacant road, to get away from people and watch the planes approach
Turn the music down, put the windows low. Turn the headlights off, but let the dashboard glow
I try not to reminisce, cause many of these memories ain't got no kind of benefits
It's the same old lick, you can paint the bricks. But your face is just a way to decorate your shit
I'm the motherfuckin' man when I'm standing in it
Cause I don't know how to swim, but I project the image, that i'mma go all in
Got it under control, until I grow my fins I'm still plugging my nose
No surprise, stolen by the tide
You can close your eyes
But the hopes stay alive, and the crow gonna fly
And the dope gets sold, n' other than that
There's really not much to know
Don't cut this rose

[Hook: Blueprint]
This lonely rose
With thorns to show
It grows alone
Too hard to hold
This lonely rose
With thorns to show
It grows alone
Too hard to hold

[Verse 2: Blueprint]
Quick to tell you that she don't need a man
From what I've seen I completely understand
Can't stand a cat that try to make demands
Plus her man said he sick of bringing beach to the sand
Quickly sinking in the holiest boat. Figured he might as well drink just to keep it afloat
Nope, when small things end up being gigantic
Relationships go the way of the Titanic
Why panic?
Have some fun while it last
Be happy that you even had a spot on the cast
She hard to keep cause she know what men about
It just took you too long before you figured it out. (Huh)
Moving fast don't mean it won't end quick
Why put your toes in when you can skinny dip
Remember when you're with the prettiest chick
There's another man that's sick of putting up with her shit

[Verse 3: Aesop Rock]
There is a temperamental magic in the key of love and war
It go, "nothing up her sleeve not even a fucking arm"
Body ain’t a temple if it’s disassembled parts
Allocated in a separate level warped send the force
Tell tents severing up pell-mell dash melting
Squeegee in his post to a cheesecloth silk screen evenly
East coast tilt kings raised by servals
Pacing up the grape vine nervous
Poke jarred brain matter adequately curious
Pick a perfect patsy, herd ‘em back into the turnip truck
Where a high arch pose as the nobles
Fine yeti fur with a dire prognosis
He prefer to mire with the openly grotesque
Opening in a cold discotheque coat check
Oh my low-tech bolt neck, go time, no myth
I'm a slow death goldmine

[Hook: Blueprint]
This lonely rose
With thorns to show
It grows alone
Too hard to hold
This lonely rose
With thorns to show
It grows alone
Too hard to hold

[Outro:]
Too hard to hold...

Trying To Fly lyrics - Atmosphere (feat. Eric Mayson)

[Verse 1: Slug]
And I don't even know why
I can't hold on to a word that you say
You escaped from your cage
Just to dance and play across a random face, like...
Fly away, little horse, fly, 'for it finds you on the front page
We're familiar with the frustration
To say we stay sedated, it's an understatement
Look alive, life is a celebration
We would like to use your current __cpLocation
Lost faith after the first rotation
And gave it back to the dirt like it wasn't worth saving
Oh, Lord, if I wasn't so bored
I'd already poured this bottle on the floor
Yeah, right, we ain't spilling a drop
About to get so high that we feel like Gods
And I don't even know why

[Chorus: Eric Mayson]
Time ain't cheap, but I know why
Cause what I need, I can't buy
You're trying to sleep, I'm trying to fly
But life goes on, and so do I!
I'm trying to fly

[Verse 2: Slug]
And I don't even know why
I still feel like a rat in a maze
Even though I know nowadays
I should probably have found a method to count my ways
I'm tryna leave the runway
Confident, I need to go surround myself with sunrays
Life's too short to keep shoveling flakes
I walk into the water till I'm covered in waves
From the first breath till the next laugh
Better have a plan to catch your best half
Never let the lakes break beneath the heavyweight
Gotta spray a little paint on this designated negative space
And I don't even know why
But I'm committed to leaving you with the valid and vivid impression
We could separate the pain from the message
But state of mind still in the state of corrections
And I don't even know why

[Hook: Eric Mayson]
Time ain't cheap, but I know why
Cause what I need, I can't buy
You're trying to sleep, I'm trying to fly
But life goes on, and so do I!
I'm trying to fly

Windows lyrics - Atmosphere (feat. Prof)

[Verse 1 - Slug:]
Shut up, everybody shut up
I think you've had too much to speak
Give me the keys, plug the leak
Or go take a little step off something steep
I might be a fuck up, but I wanna do splendid things
I mean I want somebody to remember me
And maybe drive me around in a limousine
I'm just joking, I rather drive myself
Rather fly myself, most time, rather be all by myself
A party of one
And I'll keep going for as long as the arteries pump
Don't start no junk
I'm not a thug but I'm hardly a punk
And if it ain't the hard part of the month
Throw your hands in the sky, sing the harmony once

[Hook - Prof:]
Shut your pretty mouth, I got a window in my car
I can see it all
I don't trust a motherfucker one bit though, and it go...
Shut your pretty mouth, I got a window in my house
I can see it all
(I like this) I don't trust a motherfucker one bit though

[Verse 2 - Slug:]
Shut up, everybody shut up
I brought my own knife and fork
Stood up to address the court
And said "The kid's so hungry, he'll eat the stork"
I might be a fuck up but I'm in the upper percentile
I try to put a smile on my face while the rest act so cold blooded like a reptile
Gotta look over both my shoulders
Don't even know ya, potential cobras
I'm tryna find a poser to design a poster to mobilize voters
This is not a top secret, but they already know what you're not thinkin'
Either you could submit or you could just stop speakin'
And find yourself inside another lost weekend

[Hook - Prof:]
Shut your pretty mouth, I got a window in my car
I can see it all
I don't trust a motherfucker one bit though, and it go...
Shut your pretty mouth, I got a window in my house
I can see it all
(I like this) I don't trust a motherfucker one bit though

[Verse 3 - Slug:]
Shut up, everybody shut up
All of y'all talk too goddamn much
Slither back under that rock you're from
Got a hiss on the tongue that you just can't' trust
I might be a fuck up and maybe you are too, but I ain't no judge
Run through dirt just to kick up dust
Put a little paint on the tip of the brush
Go ahead breathe with no regrets
Life's too brief to be so upset
Gotta take the lost and plead the fifth
Sometimes the world will make you eat that shit
Gonna jump like a kangaroo, break outta the zoo
Let the universe know that you made it through
Stay true to your name and crew
But watch what you say and who you say it to

[Hook - Prof:]
Shut your pretty mouth, I got a window in my car
I can see it all
I don't trust a motherfucker one bit though, and it go...
Shut your pretty mouth, I got a window in my house
I can see it all
(I like this) I don't trust a motherfucker one bit though

[Outro - Harmonizing:]
I don't trust a motherfucker one bit though, and it go...
I don't trust a motherfucker one bit though, and it go...
I don't trust a motherfucker one bit though, and it go...
I don't trust a motherfucker one bit though, and it go...
I don't trust a motherfucker one bit though, and it go...
