Hows Your Mind

I love Atmosphere. There really one of the best groups in hip hop. I would so put them up there with Outkast The Roots A tribe Pharcyde Wu Tang etc. But its like they're even more than that. They've almost surpassed hip hop. Critics have been know to call them emo hop but i dont like that conotation it makes them seem kinda cheesy. Cheesy they are not geniuses yes but emo no. They really spit some of the realest most poetic shit ive ever heard "made a date with divinity but she wouldnt let me fuck" but enough of my rant. Here are the lyrics from one of my favorite songs by them called Like The Rest of Us off their album When Life gives You lemons paint that Shit Gold.(great album by the way Buy It!)

Lyrics to Like The Rest Of Us

[Verse 1:]See I've been here for thirty-some years

Lookin' at myself in the same dirty mirror

So it ain't like I don't comprehend

Open that bottle, swallow that friend

No crime to take a little too much

Got time to drink away a few months

Got a little cocaine habit

But he says he only does it if somebody else has it

Go do that shit, do that shit, lady

She went vegetarian for the baby

Third trimester, I see the kid kick

She showed me outside when she gave me a cigarette

Shit, there's no way to measure it

Not every pony grows up to be a pegasus

Ya gotta let people be hypocrites

Count your blessin's and mind yo business

[Chorus: x2]

Stuck with yourself like the rest of us

Dirt gets done and then we back to dust

Runnin' in place

Sun in my faceLet me fly 'way

Heaven won't wait

Heaven won't wait

Let me fly 'way

Get in my way

Everyday

Heaven won't wait

Let me fly 'way

Get in my way

Everyday

[Verse 2:]

Just tryna keep my mind on work

It's like that's the only way to love this life on Earth

It's like everyone takes number one in the race

'Cause we all keep runnin' in place

Here kitty kitty, can't train that fox

Must be drinkin' that name brand scotch

All of us cut from the same damn cloth

Some of us never cut the price tags off

She ended up on the pole

With her heels pointin' at her Jesus she used to know

Stripped her down to her naked body

We made her drown in a lake full of patriarchy

In between the pride and the misery

With the infinite supply of sympathy

Are these invisible walls that hold me

Like this goldfish bowl is the whole sea

[Chorus: x2]

Stuck with yourself like the rest of us

Dirt gets done and then we back to dust

Runnin' in placeSun in my face

Let me fly 'wayHeaven won't wait

Heaven won't waitLet me fly 'way

Get in my wayEveryday

Heaven won't wait

Let me fly 'way

Get in my wayEveryday

Hows your mind.... blown?
