Atmosphere - Shrapnel lyrics

Shrapnel i can't remember who asked me
But someone asked me
How long I thought that I would
Be allowed atop this trash heap
I didn't answer cause I'm tired
Of criticizing the masses
Inspired the support the devouring
Of the self
All the power to the people who dig potholes
Placed me in a glass case full
Of lost treasures and fossils
Got a right to be hostile
My love is gettin' gang raped
By an army full money hungry crocodiles
Quantity is up, market in a flood
But the party over here has never
Steered through so much love
I'll take the laughter
But I'd rather have the women
Who am I kiddin'? I'll be
Content with whatever I'm given


Work for food, rent, sex, money, or water
I don't know what else that
You have to offer
Your first born daughter? No need
Already got her she came to the set hungry
And left hot and bothered
My posse's full of women, computer nerds
And thugs
Much to my dismay, I'm none of the above
Someday I'ma be the mack of the minute
And you were so damn good
I'ma have to forget it
Listen to the mimic, it's almost on
Drink, til ya hit me with a tall potion
Think quick, how much more insult
Will it take for me to break your light bulb
Shrapnel

Shards of pull cards scattered on the carpet
It's hard to breathe cause you
Wear a fitted target
Tug upon a choke chain, travel the cold rain
Of course I've came to show you shrapnel
Shards of pull cards scattered on the carpet
It's hard to breathe cause you
Wear a fitted target
Tug upon a choke chain, travel the cold rain
Of course I've came to show you shrapnel

Check your mail, climb your ladder
Count the pieces you've managed to gather
Does it matter? What are
You trying to achieve?
Let go of your throat if
You're dying to breathe
And finally we've begun to
Make a little progress
Ain't a single dock in this
River that can stop us
Lost in the mix like a feeble over dub
Got me screaming at these shippin' till
These people know what's up
Yeah Slug's back
But his collection of hub caps
Caught a buzzin' brought a notebook
Full of love raps
Open the pipes and tuck that voice in
I'ma sit on this corner and
Nibble on my poison
Baby once in awhile I find a reason to smile
But most the time it's spent deep in denial
It's all make believe
I want the cake to eat
But this lake's too deep
Tryin' to stand on two feet
Wonderin' about the thunder runnin'
Through this blood i try to keep my cool
But the hat fit's too snug
Study the love, took my degree
Shoved it into a bottle
Chucked it into the sea shrapnel

Shards of pull cards scattered on the carpet
It's hard to breathe cause you
Wear a fitted target
Tug upon a choke chain, travel the cold rain
Of course I've came to show you shrapnel
Shards of pull cards scattered on the carpet
It's hard to breathe cause you
Wear a fitted target
Tug upon a choke chain, travel the cold rain
Of course I've came to show you shrapnel

You think we're gonna win?
Do you wanna win? Are you gonna help me win?
Shrapnel

Shards of pull cards scattered on the carpet
It's hard to breathe cause you
Wear a fitted target
Tug upon a choke chain, travel the cold rain
Of course I've came to show you shrapnel
Shards of pull cards scattered on the carpet
It's hard to breathe cause you
Wear a fitted target
Tug upon a choke chain, travel the cold rain
Of course I've came to show you shrapnel
Shards of pull cards scattered on the carpet
It's hard to breathe cause you
Wear a fitted target
Tug upon a choke chain, travel the cold rain
Of course I've came to show you shrapnel
Shards of pull cards scattered on the carpet
It's hard to breathe cause you
Wear a fitted target
Tug upon a choke chain, travel the cold rain
Of course I've came to show you shrapnel

Shrapnel shrapnel
Shrapnel shrapnel
Ylgu ton ma I
