Atlas

[Hook] You know what cha looking at You know I ain’t looking back You know I can’t see you Cause I’m not looking in my rearview Cause the weights on my shoulder, the wait has been over The wake of you posers, can’t wait cause you’re slower No way that I know you, I swear You know what you looking at You know I ain’t looking back [Verse 1: WordPlay T.JAY] I was born with the weight up on my back and plenty of odds against me Saw the devil in the mirror and told him that he couldn’t get me Told the devil that he’s filthy, knew that he could tilt me Temptation couldn’t milk me, so smooth and the road is silky No way that you couldn’t feel me, come from the same spots Ate from the same pots and slept on the same cots Our pops had the same rocks, never stayed in our lives Every birthday’s a lie and hope the only surprise Cause we can’t afford the fries at the Burger King And every other day is a murder ring And every mixed drink is sorta sobering And even when its little it’s so more to me She wanna hop on all fours call it quartering And they say I’m sorta nice but the rhyme is mean And every bar I hit is like a tour to me And if they’re not buying it they’re loitering, yeah [Hook] [Verse 2] I know sometimes ya spirit it got you feeling low That goal may seem so far but it’s really close You steady losing bread, so your dreams are toast But overcoming life is what I love the most Nobody tells me no, help me pull the ropes Climbing steeper slopes love 3000 feet below I’m going where no people go And if I could now I do cause I can and I see the hope I lit the fire by spitting above the pyre And everything I acquire I’m going a level higher No matter what success I’m never satisfied Never fraternize; I’m truly dedicated I don’t have the time Because I’m really trying If I always keep it moving then I never rest for feeling fine So you can’t get a dime And every single that I drop it reminds me that I’m in my prime [Hook] [Verse 3] This for every verse I wrote, every promise broke For all that shit they got you on, I’m the antidote Break out like antelope and I will never panic though I got a matrix flow and really ain’t no pill for dope Cause when I pen it I’m not looking for a pendant I’m looking for that feeling you get when you know you’re winning Not worried bout the women or the cars either I’m here to lift the globe cause I’m my brother’s keeper Live through the pain like Atlas and I’m not moving backwards No need to move it faster, patients I’m everlasting Either it happens now, or it happens later But I’ll never sugar coat it cause I got the flavor So as the bandwagon stops and people start to cheer I make it very clear that I will never bow to fear The greatest songs around, don’t use to many words So when I whip and twist this shit, and flip and whisk their nerves Yea bitch I been a nerd, so you can gone and swerve That right there is a verb, and I’m skilled with the words No matter how many think that I’ll ever make it They’ll never see through the greatness cause face it their job is hating My job is blatant to hop in the conversation See I’m a constellation endangered on preservation That means I’m rare and I’m never looking back I just state the facts and lay the tracks and run it til I take a lap
