Atmosphere - Keep Steppin' lyrics

(feat. Mondee)

[Verse 1:]

It goes job after job after blow to the self value

He doesnt get along with powerful people

The mind is a box kept locked

Inside is the pride and the ego and he cant find the keyhole

Compensates with alcohol and hate

And contimplates whether or not he wants to be awake

Bounce around the words, all the nouns and verbs

But better late then never doesnt work for work

Cant hold employment, cant hold a girl

But he can hold a weapon and keep this whole world steppin

Another angry arrogent american

One frustrated step away from where you stand

Put your hands up for fear or fear itself

Or write it off as balances and cheques

Or take the sign out the window and change it to say you want to help

And maybe we can talk him into walking up these steps

[Chorus x2]

Keep looking up

Try to count them

How many left

Look em up

One at a time, until your out of breath

One foot infront of the other

Right, left

And spend your whole life climbing these steps

(Brother)

[Verse 2:]

For every boy that she allows to step on her heart

She comes one step closer to findin what she needs

The sad part is shes still stuck somewhere behind the start

Still doesnt know what it takes to make it leave

That tattoo bleeds upon the paid dues

Break the rules, to balance the odds, challenge her God

The untrained eye thinks shes got it all together

But the first time I seen her smile I knew better

Right down the letters, piece them in order

Make sense out of a sentance, give the picture a border

Got to sort through the images that clutter the soul

But the photo got fried cause the shutter didnt close

Over exposed, too many steps, too soon

Killed the pain with a jameson under a blue moon

She climbs, she cries, she waits

How many more can she take before her legs break

[Chorus x2]

(Sister)

[Verse 3]

So if you're doing bad I'mma sing about you

And if you're doing good I'mma sing about you

Whether or not you knew I've been singin about you

It's all I know, I don't know what else to do

When you take a step I take a step

Or maybe it's the other way around I'm not too sure

Right and wrong got together, the vision was blurred

The path was crooked but the intentions were pure

And I count these steps getting closer to home

And I love each step like it was my own

And when I reach the top of the goal or whatever

Maybe finally they'll let me forget her

[Chorus x2]

(Don't stop looking up)
