Atmosphere - Ode to the Modern Man (Lightning Blend) lyrics

[Intro: Slug] This is an ode to the modern man It's the ode to the modern man This is the ode to the modern man Word up, this is the modern man This is that ode to the modern man This goes out to that modern man This is the ode to the modern man It's to the modern man, lightning blend [Verse 1: Slug] Word to B E, I'm a tad bit too easy on self And maybe I should keep a closer tab on my health I suppose that it's simpler said than completed I thought me to attack but in fact again retreated Completed this word search, crumbled it up and ate it My hunger for my blue-collar heaven keeps me sedated Escaped it, last night in a dream And now I sleep, with a flashlight and it seems to keep The nightmare demons and semen-laced portions parallel and apart Like Stephen's Avenue in Portland A much-traveled one-way, or a slow residential And if the camels don't stump me I'ma grow with my pencil Once I climb the skulls of this MC graveyard I'll see the sun again, I'll jump and run again So come on over, visit, cause I got a lot to say And tell Stress I ain't mad, cause I got my way But my man Spawn's here now, so I'ma make it brief Finish up my coffee, gather up my sh** and leave I got an army of peers, we fight single-handed And I won't damage your brain until I understand it [Verse 2: Spawn] You have only one chance to advance to the next stage I'm at Do you really think you actually will pa** through? I have to ask you, did you see what happened to the last dude Tried to compare styles, word he got his a** chewed Now with this in mind, do you still wanna bring your sh** and find out the hard way Spawn's not the one to play with, trade blades with You might as well slit your own wrist with the razor It's best cause I'm crazier Blazing you, for my own amusement In tune with your body, when I split your whole fixture This is what happens when you're on my sh** list-er Brains to give a blister, so next time you call me sir or mister It's the word-twister tongue used to make the verbs hit ya Now do you get the f**ing picture? Well if you gotta save you you better call up Cause my behavior blows kids away like a tall wind I take you all in between my jaws for consumption MCs and coffee at my luncheon One or two lumps, and some cream, call the team for the gathering Bring mics and turntables, let's do our thing [Hook: Slug] Ha, cause it's an ode to that modern man This is that ode to the modern man Yeah, this goes out to that modern man From Minneapolis, St. Paul to that modern man And it's like a dedication to that modern man This one here, this is for that modern man From Atmosphere goin' out to that modern man It's to that modern man, lightning blend [Verse 3: Slug] What, now for the umpteenth-time we kick rhymes about something Can't front, I'm frustrated with heads that don't listen My position's off-balance It's a constant challenge between the talents and the underlying mission I can fill your head some more with metaphors, some cute catch-phrases Filtered through accessible things But if I don't stay sincere to love and hate How do I differentiate between chasing cream and chasing dreams Oh yeah, f** an MC in my city that wants to diss me If I was to bounce to Atlanta with Shocker y'all would miss me So kiss me, smack dab on the a**hole while you battle I'm with your wife sharing a Newcastle Big up to Gene Pool, cause he's the modern man Word up, that kid Abuse, that kid's a modern man To Self-One, yo, that kid's a modern man Full Circle, you know them kids is modern men The Native Ones, word up to that modern man Beyond Extreme, this goes to the modern man Dynospectrum out to that modern man From Atmosphere goin' out to that modern man Word up, this is the ode to the modern man It goes, like, one time for that modern man This goes out here now to that modern man It's to that modern man, it's to that modern man, kid Yo, this is the ode to the modern man It goes word-up, yeah to that modern man It's for that modern man, it's for that modern man It's for that modern man, lightning blend
