Sad Clown

[Verse]

Flicker lights, subway hums, rats in the maze

Concrete jungle where the shadows stay fazed

Pocket full of lint, dreams sharp as a blade

Stepping through the haze, where the payments get made



Shoelace loose, still I’m running these tracks

Dodging the cracks, the system’s spine snaps

Echoes in the tunnel, spit fire through gaps

Currency of words, no receipts for these raps



[Chorus]

Underground symphony, beats don’t sleep

Rhythm of the rail, secrets it keeps

From the depths to the peak, the vibe runs deep

This city got a heart that bleeds on the street



[Verse 2]

Graffiti confessions on the walls of the train

Truth drips heavy, like rust in the rain

Breath of the beast, the iron lung’s pain

I’m a ghost in the grime, with a name in the chain



Eyes on the clock, tick-tock in the smoke

Fast flow, no choke, keep the words bespoke

Tunnel vision sharper than a samurai stroke

Ride the rhythm till it shatters and the silence is broke



[Bridge]

Steel serpent slithers, neon lights shiver

City’s cold quiver, but I’m still a giver

Spit slicker, rhyme thicker, mind like a river

Freeze frame the struggle, but my grind delivers

Subway Symphony

For over two decades, Atmosphere has maintained a course of rigorous output, releasing over two dozen studio albums, EP’s and collaborative side projects in as many years. In that time, the venerated duo have built a legacy out of bringing honesty, humility and vulnerability to the forefront of their music, continually challenging themselves to evolve without straying too far from their roots. Slug has proven masterful at storytelling and writing compelling narratives, leaving a trail of his own influence while paying homage to the rappers and songwriters that helped shape him. Ant has skillfully molded the soundtracks with inspiration from soul, funk, rock, reggae, and the wizardry of hip-hop’s pioneering DJ’s and producers, creating his own trademark sounds while providing the pulse for songs about life, love, stress and setbacks. At its essence, Atmosphere has been a musical shepherd, and with each new album comes a new journey as they guide generations of listeners through this thing called life.
