Sunshine

Dear Followers,



Ain't no way to explain or say
How painful the hangover was today
In front of the toilet, hands and knees
Trying to breathe in between the dry heaves

My baby made me some coffee
Afraid that if I drink some it's probably coming right back out me
Couple of advil, relax and chill
At a standstill with how bad I feel

I think I need to smell fresh air
So I stepped out the back door and fell down the stairs
The sunlight hit me dead in the eye
Like it's mad I gave half the day to last night

My bad sight made me trip on my ass right into that patch of grass like that's life
All of a sudden, I realize something
The weather is amazing, even the birds are bumping

Stood up and took a look and a breath
And there's that bike that I forgot that I possessed
Never really seen exercise as friendly
But I thing something's telling me to ride that 10 speed

The brakes are broken, it's alright
The tires got air and the chain seems tight
Hopped on and felt the summertime,
It reminds me of one of them Musab lines like

Sunshine, sunshine, it's fine
I feel it in my skin, warming up my mind,
Sometimes you got to give in to win,
I love the days when it shines, whoa let it shine

If I could I would keep this feeling in a plastic jar
Bust it out whenever someone's acting hard
Settle down, barbeque in the backyard
The kids get treats and old folks get classic cars

Every day that gets to pass is a success
Every woman looks better in a sun dress
The sunshine's an excuse to shoot hoops, get juice
Show improve their moves and let loose

I hear voices, I see smiles to match em
Good times and you can feel it in the fashion
Even though the heat cooks up the action
The streets still got butterflies
Enough kids to catch 'em

Ridin my bike around these lakes man
Feelin like I finally figured out my escape plan
Take it all and the day started off all wrong
Somehow now that hangover is all gone

Ain't nothing like the sound of the leaves
When the breeze penetrates these southside trees
Leanin' up against one, watchin the vibe
Forgettin' all about the stress, thanking god I'm alive

It's so simple, I had to keep the song simple
When I get home I'm gonna open all the windows
Feelin all right, stopped at a stop sign
A car pulled up, bumping Fresh Prince's Summertime





When Life Gives You Lemons, You Paint That $&^# Gold,

I find Atmosphere my retreat when I feel like the weather or the situation is getting me down. It's kind of a safe haven that one can shut themselves in knowing that you'll be safe, even though all other thoughts make your mind sit at state of turmoil

That's at least my interpretation.

I hope that it's summer soon, because it's true: "Every day that gets to pass is a success".

Glad to see that somebody else loves Atmosphere. They are probably one of the most real groups I have ever heard and I enjoy that the lyrics go beyond drugs, sex, and money to capture some very human aspects of life.

If I am sad or happy, Atmosphere is always a treat to listen to. Have you heard the new album?

Not completely, nor in order. I've listened bits here and there, (and somewhat everywhere), but I want to get my hands on the entire album and listen to it like it was intended.

I know exactly what you mean about the lyrics. It's relate-able in the best sense.
