Atmosphere - To All My Friends with lyrics

Atmosphere - To All My Friends

I do not own this song in any way. Just uploading it and spreading the wealth

Intro:
Yeah, I saw the sign in the window? For the job?
Yeah I got a high school education, but thats all..
Skills? you wanna know if i got some skills? Yeah I got some skills.

This goes out to all my friends...


What you gonna be, when you grow up? I'm all grown up and I still don't know what.
I might throw up, I'd rock a tow truck, long as it means that I can get old and post up.
I used to be a typical winner, living off the gratuity from delivering your dinner.
Cause as a kid, I didn't consider that I would get the opportunity to be a full time spitter.
I love this occupation, I got bosses across the nation.
Validation is an understatement, and I don't really know how to take a vacation.
My kind don't have any free time, I'm so distracted, but everything is fine.
I speak shines and I read signs, appreciate your opinion, but this dream's mine.

It's all love, we're cool, but you don't tell a cowboy what to do...

I was the ugly kid, that didn't listen.
Little big man, full of ambition.
Based on imagination, just like you.
Daydreaming thinking about the things I might do.
I used to paint, draw, and illustrate, mom would facilitate, and it would feel ok.
Seems like yesterday still plays a part, when I grow up I wanted a job making art.
Picture that, how many years old, young enough to mix up love with career goals.
But I was just this tall when they told me that the world is mine.
But the papers weren't signed.
There's no deed, so proceed to go seed up the whole piece like it owes me groceries.
Don't breathe, until you formally know me, won't leave, better call authorities.

It's all love, we're cool, but you don't tell an astronaut what to do...

The turntables stole my heart...
Burnt the paintbrush, broke it apart...
I miss it, I might revisit, but I wasn't that good, I admit it,
Maybe you can't tell but as a kid I wanted to be Melly Mel.
Later as a teenager I wanted to be L.L.
Then I discovered weed and I wanted to be Del.
And thank God eventually I found myself.
Its funny when I bump into fools that I used to go to school with,
and they ask what I'm doin'.
Half of the time I wanna crack a lie,
but fuck it I'm still a wanna be rapper guy!
Yeah I guess that it seems that way,
I get to see the world, and it's decent pay.
As long as somebody wanna see us play,
I wake up every morning and I sieze the day.

It's all love, we're cool, but you don't tell the president what to do...

Outro:
It's like that yall, it's like this yall.
I don't get to call in sick yall.

you can feel his age in the raps and its cool to be down with the span of a genius' career, not that hes lost his old fans but thats the kids that are a few years older than us and they just lost the feelin of his raps but those people would also move on and sing songs like this and not like the stick up or wnd. its just all dope shit and growing up is growing wisdom. big ups on the tune

[OaklandElite8]

@sshaughnessey finally someone who thinks like me....

with age comes wisdom.... like a sage from a wizard

[TheKiff11]

[codrick1]

This music relaxes me <3

[CryRomeo]

[OzzieAustin1]

Hey guys I'm fourteen! Who said that younger people couldn't love this shit, insightful as hell <3 Atmosphere forever. He obtains my life. I can show everyone his music saying, "this is my life"

@un4givinsin420 wow. I've never heard a bigger bitch in my life.

You know what? It was his pet. Who gives a fuck about your boyfriend or whatever? This song isn't about love, it's about growing up and living life and that shit. People like you are the reason why people who are emotional are considered weak. Get the fuck off of Youtube and go back to whatever shit you used to listen to. We don't want to listen to you and people like you being dumb bitches.

[vacation942]
