Atmosphere - The Outernet lyrics
rate me<BR>
<i>[Slug]</i><br>
For starters, I contemplated on where to split you<br>
Marked a spot with a dotted line, then ripped you<br>
Used careful procedure, if you listen closely<br>
you can hear the ghostly moans of phobes bleeding through the speakers<br>
The voices of various toys who ate the poison<br>
Fucking up the solo juts and the ones that snuck their boys in<br>
Like a free-for-all buffet when my team cultivates a crowd of loose heads<br>
and boosted heads get called and all of them fall this way<br>
Used to be on a mission to destroying emcees' existence<br>
Now I'm tryna build so we can make this shit efficient<br>
Strength is in the mind and strength is in the numbers<br>
Too much sleep, then you slumber so we linked the bees and stung you<br>
I brung you three times as much as your fucking idols brought to you<br>
But since you know me locally, you dismissed me as an obstacle<br>
Fuck it, Rhymesayers already got the twin cities locked<br>
Support's overwhelming, ain't no need for you to give me props<br>
<br>
<i>[Hook X2]</i><br>
It's time to reach out, grab the nation and the earth<br>
Let's see where your hearts at, let's put the outernet to work<br>
<br>
<i>[Chorus X2]</i><br>
I spent my whole life working to get to the point that I'm at<br>
So now I spend my time tryna reach my destination<br>
I'll be at the end waiting with my crew for the rest of you<br>
to arrive to shed the destitute mind state supplied by life<br>
<br>
<i>[Slug]</i><br>
He said what? He's telling all of his boys that I can't rhyme<br>
Then I guess the shit's a success if I'm even on his mind<br>
He's doing what? Recording a project? Good, he should be<br>
I'm not impressed, it's obvious y'all never understood me<br>
I dwell in a land of ten thousand Hip Hop fans<br>
And every fan thinks he's an emcee, heads are heavy but they're empty<br>
I dwell in a land of twenty thousand emcees<br>
But only half of them are head influenced, tense confusion stems<br>
Damn, no need to worry about what the next man's doing<br>
That's what keeps you from perceiving what I'm pursuing<br>
Here's a clue and kill your demo, I'm tryna make history<br>
on a bus full of empty seats, now who wants to sit with me?<br>
In case you're unaware, we've been doing this forever<br>
and ain't damn thing changed, financial status nor the weather<br>
However, lack of cash reinforces passion<br>
Fuck the rapping, man if I was wack, I'd promote "The Happenings"<br>
<br>
<i>[Hook X2]</i><br>
The difference between the average head and an emcee is effort<br>
Pick a side, either side, let's begin the network<br>
<br>
<i>[Chorus X2]</i><br>
I spent my whole life working to get to the point that I'm at<br>
So now I spend my time tryna reach my destination<br>
I'll be at the end waiting with my crew for the rest of you<br>
to arrive to shed the destitute mind state supplied by life<br>
<br>
<i>[Slug]</i><br>
As an emcee, I run rhymes to distribute the fun times<br>
As a lyricist, I promise to heat up your brain like sunshine<br>
As an emcee, my goal is to make the whole show dope<br>
As a lyricist, I wanna spit that shit that you can quote<br>
As an emcee, I provoke my producer to stroke your spirit<br>
So as a lyricist, I can't be choking on my lyrics<br>
As an emcee, I know the key is originality<br>
And as a lyricist, I command other emcees to respect me<br>
That's it, respect, that's all, in fact the same respect<br>
that I offer to you and your crew after y'all rip the set<br>
I'm just a man, but I roll with others and we've got this plan<br>
to let the voice expand across the tortured land<br>
Education starts at home, six-one-two<br>
From there we roam through headphones coming soon to your war zone<br>
The aftermath, I'll have to plant some gems into your passive ass<br>
Amped to cut trees and branches so ya'll would have a path<br>
The more you feed it, the more it needs to consume<br>
If you're coming through the region, hit me up, we'll rock a room<br>
Let's network, let's work, let's all get work<br>
So we can build the overall network<br>
<br>
<i>[Chorus X2]</i><br>
I spent my whole life working to get to the point that I'm at<br>
So now I spend my time tryna reach my destination<br>
I'll be at the end waiting with my crew for the rest of you<br>
to arrive to shed the destitute mind state supplied by life<br>
<br>
<i>[Outro X4]</i><br>
Let's network, let's work, let's all get work<br>
So we can build the overall network<br>
<BR><BR>
