Atmosphere - Little Man lyrics

Dear Jacob
I won't take up too much of you time
I know you're trying to get
Your video game-grind on and that's fine
Just gimme a second to empty my face
Before I hit the road again to
Go and win this paper chase
I've been watching you and I'm
Proud of you man
You're growing up to be the best
Man that you possibly can
I know you understand why I go out of town
I also know my days are
Colder when you're not around
Sometimes I wonder what it's like to
Be adapted to the fact
That daddy never lived inside the same shack
And sometimes I get this pain
In my stomach's pit it's what I get
I'm convinced it's my punishment
For those nights I got drunk and


Let go at some bar
In some city with some people I don't know
For all the times that the lines on your face
Reminded me of the days
Before the dragonflies escaped
It trips me out how you
Pick up all my trait's
From the way that you spit to
The fists that you make
I watch the way you try
To keep your mom happy
Daddy learned that from you
You're supposed to learn that from daddy
I can't teach much when it comes to women
I drive safe and slow but don't
Know nothing 'bout the engine
You're doing good little man that's
All I really meant i love you
You're my best friend, thanks for listening

Dear Craig, what up bones? How it goes?
Yeah, me? Well, you know, you know, same old
Same old
Sorry that the phone calls ain't too routine
Just been runnin' around the globe
Tryin' to do my thing
Sometimes the weeks fly a little too fast
And sometimes I go to sleep
A little too trashed
Other times I'm not sittin' on enough cash
And other times today feels too
Much like the past
Sometimes at night I would watch y'all fight
A child wonderin'
Why your life just ain't alright?
What's the violence about? Why's
It in my house?
And even the memories are turned up too loud
Yeah, I got some issues in my head
Knew we should've started fixing 'em
Back when she left you
I'm not trying to get you down
I know you're different now
But your little man just wants
You to listen now
I'm over 30, can't maintain relations
All these women want to hurt me and
I just don't have the patience
I can't trust them
And they're not much help
When they start to push and pull
The buttons I don't trust myself
What pride, fists, and words just might do?
I'm afraid of my fate
Don't wanna turn out like you
I've never hit a woman i won't do coke
And for that alone I love you
And I want to thank you, old man

Dear Sean, what's going on? Not much to say
Just checkin' in with you
Trying to see what's wrong today
I know there's gotta be
Something kicking your bruises
How's the love? How's the
Music? How's the self-abusiveness?
Got a lot to lose
It's breaking your shoulders
So you let your paranoia place
Your bets for you
Too many cigarettes, messing up your voice
Too many arguments, trying to test your poise
The only women that love you
Are fans and family mom has no choice
But fans leave you randomly
No heavy rotation in any location
You're not ready to face that
You have no steady vocation
Plus you're getting old
Your raps are exhausted
Stop it, everybody knows that you've lost it
Singing for these kids you don't know
When you should be at home with your
Own instead you're on the telephone
Fighting with your girl like it's
You against the world
Another drunk hotel bedroom corner
Curled up like a naked fetus
Come and save him Jesus
Place him back in time before
The Reaganomics and Adidas
Sometimes you're not impressed with
The work you've done
And love isn't love if
You didn't hurt someone
Your son says, "Hi dad", your dad says
"What's up?"
And me, I wanna thank you, but
I won't, I'll just say, "Good luck"
