Atmosphere


I feel that most of you soliders are flimsy 
How the hell did you get over as an emcee? 
Now the dialouge injectors they simply 
And I respect those that hold it against me 
Pay dues and make rules to break rules 
Stayed cool amongst tools and fake fools gave jewels to use 
From cradle to grade school to the grave 
And still wade through these pools of I love you and I hate you 

And the turntable keeps on turnin and turnin 
Nothin can fuck with the way it goes around (x2) 

First off focus, figure out why you wrote it 
What's the motvie? 
What you use to grow it? 
Where you tryin to go with it? 
Do the people want it? 
Do they need it? Or maybe they would rather that you keep it 
Is the party now popin? Or at least a couple of heads noddin? 
Does the pass or fail depend on wether or not a check's gotten? 
Is it the laughter, the love, the hope? 
Is it the aspiration to make other rappers think ya dope? 
Is it the fans, the adoration of devils and angels? 
The hunger, you want more than left over egg rolls? 
Shit, I made a video I ain't even got cable 
So if you ain't down with what we doin you better lay low 
My future's made of Play-Dough, past is made of stone 
Virgo playboy Slug is dumb building a home 
And it lead me to belive the 3D that I breathe, 
Through the TV and the CD be the need to grit the teeth 
A twenty-something wasteland 
Here comes the out of place spaceman 
Spread the wingspan 
Starin at the ocean 
Like it was a woman 
Hopin that she'll let me run my toes through her pink sand 

And the turntable keeps on turnin and turnin 
Nothin can fuck with the way it goes around (x2) 

Now here I sit in this cellar 
Writing my interpretations of Helter Skelter 
It goes one part hustler 
Two parts good guy 
Sounds like it should but this shit doesn't look right 
Took my hook and pierced ya skin 
So now when I say jump you say when 
When I say now all ya'll say where 
When I say Atmos you say phere 
You know me but just the me 
I let you see the me you need 
So you can set yourself free 
You'll have to fuck Slug up to shut Slug up 
But for now baby please close your mouth and lift your butt up 

And the turntable keeps on turnin and turnin 
Nothin can fuck with the way it goes around (x2) 

I used to play the back of the club in study mode 
Placin bets on who would leave the set with a bloody nose 
Head shots used to talk a lot of shit 
Used to walk a lot of shit 
The pre-trial of accomplishment 
Before I knew that this network existed 
Just another pair of baggy pants sweatshirted misfit 
The piolt sticker bombs spell it right 
S-L-U-G don't get it wrong that shit's my life 
And I'm thankful for the angle the lessons learned 
I'm happy as hell for how the carosuel turned 
Smilin at the angel that stole my sperm 
Cause now maybe the legend can out live the germ 

And the turntable keeps on turnin and turnin 
Nothin can fuck with the way it goes around (x2)
