- Atmosphere - Keep Steppin' ft. Mondee
Lyric:
[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] {2X}
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] {2X}
(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] {2X}
(Don't stop looking up) - Hudba
"killed the pain with jameson under a blue moon" had so much emotion it hit me
This song perfectly describes my adult life😄👌 this is why I love atmosphere!
one day i hope to move people the way slug moved me.
Karl Eulberg have you? I hope you have
You will
Reap what you sow
Just for that he's my favorite artist of all time.
@CapKorl Drop a link, man. I'll give you a listen
Slug is just awesome man. Seen Atmosphere live a couple times in my city, was always there early and lined up to get into the venue. Slug always came out before the doors opened and gave every single person in the line a hug or a handshake, thanked them for the support, and wished them well. Always remembered that.
He was shaking hands last Friday at the Melkweg Amsterdam. Great stuff
Who is still listening in 2022.I will never forget the times this music takes me back to.
I never quit looking up. I don't stop looking up
Mike Lorla beautiful buddy
Keep steppin
2021 and this is still an amazing track.
this exact track help me get through one of the toughest times in my life..literally could have saved me too..i dont know where he comes up with this stuff, but its outta this world
14 years later this is the only place I can find this song. Thank you
It's on iTunes under the artist "slug"
I've been listening to Atmosphere/Slug for almost ten years now, i'm 17 and my dad's friends shoed him to me when i was in 2nd or 3rd grade.
First time i've ever heard this song.
This mother fucker never ceases to surprise and amaze me. That's hiphop.
I love how prolific Slug is. I've been bumpin' him for years and I'm still finding tracks I've never heard.
Same here.
Same, fucking genius.
yeah. i remember downloading as much as i could an i downloaded as much as possible on napster; must have been 1999 or 98. shaped my life
auxarmes This makes me happy. A younger generation listening to real hip hop.
This song wouldn't even make Slugs resume. Yet it shits all over almost all mainstream "rap" music. Gotta love Atmos for producing the soundtrack to my life for over ten years.
First song I ever heard by Atmosphere. Love the journey it's taken me on.
This is one of my all time favourite songs, gotta keep steppin
Straight to the dome. 🤯😍
No one Compares, nothing comes close to Atmosphere's songs
Eyedea and Abilities are on that level thooough..and Aesop rock, that's the trio.. basically all i listen to now days, after getting used to that quality of music everything else falls short
Don't forget Grieves.
C'mon O.C.? Black thought? Tragedy kadaffi? Gangstarr? D.I.t.c.
Gabe Ehli cyne cunninlynguists and tone deff as well
love this track, especially that last verse..too bad we dont have more mc's like this
i love how he just raps about real shit!
it's like you can't get anymore realer than slug!!
Fan since -2002
Minne snow ta Mid West killin it.
I was introduced to rymsayers 10 years ago when I was 20. Hold mine, and ever since I've gone down the rabbit hole of eyedea and slug. Now I have tattoos of both and listen to them everyday, and just couldn't say enough about their impact on my life. R.EYE.P
Love the both instrumental and lyrical aspects of this song. Atmosphere knows hipity-hop! haha
Yes, the group Atmosphere released their first independent album in 1997. But Slug himself was part of Headshots since 1989.
Ha, whatever. You're joking, we all know there is no one person out there that hears Slug and can't realize it's the best hip hop you've ever heard.
Keep steppin'
atmosphere kills it
always
"To forget time, to forgive life, to be at peace."
Mr. Dibbs wearing a mask back then...
an atmosphere album is better than a bottle of xanax..slug is a true poet, hip hop is just his outlet.. i miss the 90's when we had a few emcees that could light your life up
Dayum Atmosphere never fails to amaze me with lyrics and beats. Keep this sick shit real.Peacee
I have every song Slug has made since 1989, and i hear something new nearly every day. :)
The turntable scratch at 2:32 was epic lol.

Atmosphere as most real musicians hit ya in the boo boo with ish and make ya think alot of mainstream music doesn't do that.Been listening to them for a minute and even had the pleasure of meeting both slug and Ant Cool gents down to earth.Aint nothing like musicians who actually appreciate their fans knowing we are the reason they do what they do.Hate it is up to you but ya can't deny it's beautiful poetry put to a sick beat!

Epic beat

i just discovered atmosphere and im hooked...like f'real.
Holy shit, this man changed my life. And Ant is the fucking man.
Sounds like she needs a helping of, iron, bitter determination, born of Despiration and Wrath. Once you earn that mind frame? You got the go-ahead even when there is no way out, running to the breach, Blowing no quarter on the horns.
exercise for mind
perfect sound !!!
Anyone else listen to some of Atmosphere's songs and think, "Wow my life is nothing like this guy's. Damn that's a level up life!"?
🙏
Xclusive song !
slugs is among the best underground ever
I love atmosphere..good shit.
the best part is there is never any fighting on the comments because everyone gets along and chills and listens to the amazing music.
oh wait....
Damn, first time I heard this. Saw this song listed in a compilation. He uses this Melody in another song.

@Night rofl, thas great stuff.. I thumbs'd upped it
sickets dubs
Yo, when he was up in Boston, i came up to see him from Connecticut. I saw him and he was meeting people in the lines. I was ecstatic!! When he came to me i told him how much he meant to me, i told him that he was my hero and without him i wouldn't even wanna live life. I almost cried right there in front of him. He hugged me and signed my phone and talked to me about how he remembered me from myspace (i told him a story about what happened to me a few months prior on space).
And yes i am a guy
Michael worley, you are right actually, I hear it too. Anyone who doesn't agree doesn't know what they're hearing!!
Better late than never doesnt work for work
feels like me!!!! graet lyrics!!
This is the fuckin shit.
Atmosphere rules.
"And when I reach the top of the goal or whatever;
Maybe finally they'll let me forget her."
Walk with me.
Lyrical/beat genius.
@WuTangForeva21 keep that shit underated, the fact the world cant keep up makes it all the better.
word
good job bro!!
Yeah dude i hugged slug. Haha you guys should have seen me. I almost broke down into tears
Thats how much this man means to me.
Respect to Slug and Ant. you guys are the shit the people, no the world needs to realize how great they are. theyre music should reach everyones ears, cause it touches everyone in some shape way or form. But in an orignal sound and way that is unique and only known as atmosphere. ive lsitened to all their songs. i get on the computer this is what i listen too underground forever even though theyre goin alil mainstream but it wont change theyre skill or originality, atmosphere now and forever!
atmosphere be snappin hard he played a show in memphis, my uncle got an autograph with his kid n shit.
Atmosphere is hella filthy. I got his album headshots wen he was young. its pretty sick
wow, I heard the beat and I was like....how is he gonna keep this a real track... but what do you know, he does it again.
well said
thats would be interesting self loathing, passionate energy, and pure pride
atmosphere is a huge part of me..
good.
This beat is sick, fa real.
