Atmosphere - Get Fly lyrics

rate me

They want us to fight but we just wanna get high

Work all day all night tryin to get fly

When I get some money imma buy me some time

I cant fight your war until I'm finished with mine

[x2]

I used to be mad at the government

Redirected some of my anger towards the mother ship

Tryin to guess which shell living hell sleeps under

When the grand scheme plan keeps all these people wondering

Why we still runnin in place frustrated

Pride is mistaken for hate it's upgraded

I got a little breath left let's suffocate it

Point at the epiphanies and call ‘em all drug related

The time I spent with my life on bent

Tryin to find the friends inside my head

Must have disengaged every phase of the stage

With my I'm coming I'm coming I'm coming of age

My unofficial autobio

Will be accompanied with tips on how to smile

Cuz I found that when they don't see you frown

They never know that you're a threat and they don't sweat you

When you come around

So who's gonna be my next door savior

Step up to your neighbor and do me a favor

Take off the mask let it all collapse

Empty the pack and watch your wings grow back

[chorus]

society becomes jealousy

intimacy becomes intensity

say it with a smile like it's meant to be

and all of a sudden BOOM American family

and I could tell when you're mad at your past

because you tend to take them turns just a little too fast

I could tell how you pushed your foot on the gas

that you already knew that you was gonna finish last

slow it down and take a little time

to look up at them clouds with that fake silver lining

up in a tree knowin damn well you'll never reach the top

but you don't stop.. you keep climbing

well O-K it's settled

no more nights in this weed and thorn infested metal

uh uh from this day forth only forward I pedal

get the memo I'm cutting the strings Geppetto

shuffle the cards and let's argue

rooted in between the computer games and cartoons

stop it watch us all get lost

between God and a shot of scotch

let's get fly

[chorus]

uh huh... gon' work all day work all night

uh huh... won't fight your war until I'm finished with mine

uh huh... gonna forward move, gonna buy me some time

uh huh... I'm cutting your strings and keeping my smile

[x3]
