Atmosphere - Superman lyrics

(Yo, what happened to you man?
What, you just woke up like that?
You weren't like that yesterday
What have you been eating?)

And he got bored one day and jumped
Out of a third story window
Hit the curb in a sprint position (what?)
And that was the first time he
Found himself different from the rest
Thus began him on his quest for individualism
(why?)
He felt he had some big decisions to make
Superpowers can't be all fun and games
Piece of cake in the park under sun rays
I mean wait, he wishes he understood
Wait, hold up, does this mean now
That he's obligated to roam around
And do some good? Maybe he should keep it
Hidden from his neighborhood
I doubt his girl would even try
To comprehend it if she could
And he ain't trying to be
Nobody's circus sideshow freakshow
Better keep it discrete and hide
It from these people

But one day on his way to
Falafel King for some lunch
He was approached by these three cats
That he'd gotten stoned with once
He cracked a smile
Extended an arm to give the first one a pound
Brought the fist down
And sunk him deep into the ground
Whoops, cat's out the pillow sack
You see that puddle?
Well that particular molecular displacement
Has a mom who's gonna want an explanation
As to why her son Jason, her pride and joy
Is now liquid boy dripping down the pavement
Save it you'd better bolt and hide
Because war patrol gets a hold of your
Throat you'll probably hope to die
Oh snap, you can fly
It's time to take it to the air
And quit tripping
Who ever told you that existence
Was supposed to be fair?

(Ayo man, why you squish my homeboy, man?
Yo dawg, this kid owed me like ten dollars
Dude why'd you have to kill him?)

Made it, landed in the backyard
Fast like a track star the flight was basic
And the landing, it wasn't that hard
Now act smart
Pack the things you need and leave
Say your peace to this diseased
Place and keep it free
Face the east, spread your wings
Wait, I hear police sirens coming
To inquire about the deceased
I wonder if your chest can deflect bullets
Contemplate surrender to escape
This excess stress
Bet nobody thinks about the emotional drain
That it takes to have special
Strengths and advanced brains
And now he's dancing with sanity solo
Trying to hold his inner ground
Devising a rushed blueprint
Blocking all sight and sound
And pictures of all the childhood trauma
All the livelihood, the drama
The time spent wondering
Pondering the secrets of imagination
No way could anyone have
Understood this present situation

Yo mom if they take me down
Believe I'm gonna miss you
And if I ain't around take comfort knowing
I went out with a fistfull
I swear it was accidental, I never meant to
It ain't my fault
I don't know how it started off
Nor how it shall result
But I'll be damned if I give the
Man the satisfaction of taking down the
Man who could have taken out that
Man with all his bastard plans

And at one glance it was
Romantic if you think
The freak slit his own throat
And bled to death in the kitchen sink

No longer worried about health or wealth
A superhero's true weakness is themselves

I need to lower my expectations
I never said I was Jesus nah, I'm Superman
With a capital S

(Ayo man, you got 35 cents?)
