The Outernet Songtext
von Atmosphere

For starters, I contemplated on where to split you
Marked the spot with a dotted line then ripped you
Used careful procedure if you listen closely
You can hear the ghostly moans
Of folks bleedin′ through the speakers
The voices of various toys
Who ate the poison
Fuckin' up the solo ducks
And the ones that snuck their boys in
Like a free-for-all buffet
Where my team cultivates a crowd
Of loose heads and boosted heads
We crawl them all to fall this way
Used to be on a mission To destroy an MC′s existence
Now I'm tryin' to build
So we can make this shit efficient
Strength is in the mind
And strength is in the numbers
Too much length in your slumber
So we linked the bees and stung you
I rung you three times
As much as your fuckin′ idols watchin′ you
But since you know me locally
You dismiss me as an obstacle
Fuck it, Rhymesayers already got the Twin Cities locked
Support's overwhelming
Ain′t no need for you to give me props

It's time to reach out
Grab the nation and the Earth
Let′s see where your heart's at
Let′s put the outernet to work


I spent my whole life workin'
To get to the point that I'm at
So now I spend my time
Tryin′ to reach my destination
I′ll be at the end waitin'
With my crew for the rest of you
To arrive to shed the destitute mind
State supplied by life

He said what you sellin′
All of these boys that I can't rhyme
Then I guess the shit′s a success
If I'm even on his mind
He′s doin' what?
Recording a project
Good he should be
I'm not impressed
It′s obvious y′all never understood me
I dwell in a land
Of 10, 000 hip-hop fans
And every fan thinks he's an MC
Heads are heavy, but they′re empty
I dwell in a land
Of 20, 000 MC's
But only half of ′em
Are head influenced
Tense confusion stems them
No need to worry 'bout what the next man′s doin'
That's what keeps you from perceivin′ what I′m pursuin'
Here′s a clue and kill your demo
I'm tryin′ to make history
On a bus full of empty seats
Now who wants to sit with me?
In case you're unaware
We′ve been doin' this forever
And not a damn thing changed
Financial status nor the weather
However, lack of cash reinforces passion
Fuck the rapper man
If I was whack I'd promote the happenin′s

The difference between the average head and the MC is effort
Pick a side, either side, let′s begin the network

I spent my whole life workin'
To get to the point that I′m at
So now I spend my time
Tryin' to reach my destination
I′ll be at the end waitin'
With my crew for the rest of you
To arrive to shed the destitute mind
State supplied by life

As an MC, I run rhymes to distribute the fun times
As a lyricist I promise to heat up your brain like sunshine
As an MC my goal is to make the whole show dope
As a lyricist I wanna spit that shit that you can quote
As an MC I provoked my producer to stroke your spirit
So as a lyricist I can′t be chokin' on my lyrics
As an MC I know the key is originality
And as a lyricist I command other MC's to respect me
That′s it, respect, that′s all
In fact the same respect
That I offered to you and your crew
After y'all ripped the set
I′m just a man but I roll with others
And we've got this plan
To let the voice expand
Across the tortured land
Education starts at home 612
From there we roam through headphones
Comin′ soon to your war zone
The aftermath I have to plant
Some gems into your passive ass
Amped to cut trees and branches
So y'll would have a path
The more you feed it
The more it needs to consume
If you′re comin' through the region
Hit me up we'll rock a room
Let′s network, let′s work
Let's all get work
So we can build the overall net worth

I spent my whole life workin′
To get to the point that I'm at
So now I spend my time
Tryin′ to reach my destination
I'll be at the end waitin′
With my crew for the rest of you
To arrive to shed the destitute mind
State supplied by life

Let's network, let's work
Let′s all get work
So we can build the overall net worth

Effort
