Atlas Lyrics by WordPlay T. Jay

The Cycle

2014

[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
