Atmosphere - Get Fly lyrics

They want us to fight
But we just want to get high
Work all day, all night, trying to get fly
When I get some money I'mma buy me some time
I can't fight your war until
I'm finished with mine

I used to be mad at the government
Redirected some of my anger
Towards the mothership
Trying to guess which shell
Living hell sleeps under
When the grand scheme plan keeps
All these people wonderin
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
Trying to find the friends inside my head
Must have disengaged every phase and stage
Of of my I'm coming, I'm coming
I'm coming of age my unofficial autobio
Will be accompanied with tips on how to smile
Cause I've 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 came around
So who's going to be my next door savior?
Step up to your neighbor, and do me a favour
Take off the mask, let it all collapse
Empty the pack and watch your wings grow back

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 can tell when your mad at your past
Because you tend to take the turns
Just a little too fast
And I can tell how you push
Your foot on the gas
That you already knew that you
Was gunna finish last
Slow it down and take a little time
To look up at them clouds
With the fake silver lining
Up in a tree knowing damn well
You never reach the top
But you don't stop, you keep climbing
Well okay, it's settled
No more nights in this weed
And thorn infested meadow
Uh uh, from this day forth
Only forward I pedal
Get the memo I'm cutting the strings Gepetto
Shuffle the cards and let's argue
Rooted in between the computer
Games and cartoons
Stop and watch us all get lost
Between God and a shot of scotch
Let's get fly

Uh huh gon work all day work all night
Uh huh won't fight your war
Until Im finished with mine
Uh huh gonna forward move
Gonna buy me some time
Uh huh Im cutting your strings
And keeping my smile
