Текст atlas – no one ever said

No one ever said it’d be easy
No one ever said it won’t take no time
No one ever seemed to believe me

Yo yo yo

Atlas & the OTJ crew:
No one ever said it’d be easy
No one ever said it won’t take no time
No one ever seemed to believe me
No one ever thought that I could make those rhymes

And no one ever said it’d be easy
No one ever said it won’t take no time
No one ever seemed to believe me
No one ever thought that I could make those rhymes

Atlas:
Young dumb hooligan
Go and make a fool of himself
Once more
Fuck board
Back to school again

Finna drop out before it starts
Cause it’s foolish when my squad makes gym
Shit
I’m feelin like a toolish friend

Cooler than your average
But this here is my crop
And rap shit to atlas is like
Cyclops to eye drops
I just wanna chill up in my room
While I write lots
And leave at 3 am

I might not present myself as cogent
When we meet face to face
But
I’d rather lay awake
Than waste away and age in gray
And talents in the balance
That’s difficult to take away
No matter how often you
Debate my case

Homie screamin’
«Break his face!»
Man
Ya’ll know that ain’t protocol
Boi
More the type for swordless fights
And battles with the ballpoint
I’d rather hit the mall than
Sit and argue over small points
And if you’re interested
Than you can all join
Why not?

Atlas & the OTJ crew:
No one ever said it’d be easy
No one ever said it won’t take no time
No one ever seemed to believe me
No one ever thought that I could make those rhymes

And no one ever said it’d be easy
No one ever said it won’t take no time
No one ever seemed to believe me
No one ever thought that I could make those rhymes

Samsa:
Samsa’s silky smooth like almond milk
Tongue like brahmin shaman smoke
They used to say «Don’t use big words;
You’ll alienate the common folk»

Now I speak through marble monuments
And Aristotle quotes
Multilingual linguist go from
Navajo to javaco
To lava flow to vámonos
Cats who used to hate
Ask me to feature now
I respond with
«Hey what’s up dog, comma, no»

Used to live off of ramen bowls
Totino’s rolls and Domino’s
Now I vomit comic books
And namaste’s and homophones

When I was young
My mom would pump apocrypha through chakra flows
Slip scriptures in her casseroles
And gospels in my pocket holes
Grew up a provocateur
Since I was four
My mom would buy me picture books and literature
From Bodega’s and corner stores

Used to read about brontosaurs
A green macaw
An army corp
Or superhero conflict wars
Or chupacabra carnivores

Hanging off my bunk bed
I would read until my arms were sore
Hoping one day I would have a story
Or accomplish more

Atlas & the OTJ crew:
No one ever said it’d be easy
No one ever said it won’t take no time
No one ever seemed to believe me
No one ever thought that I could make those rhymes

And no one ever said it’d be easy
No one ever said it won’t take no time
No one ever seemed to believe me
No one ever thought that I could make those rhymes
