Atmosphere - Hidden Track lyrics
Its such a pleasure to come home, because ahh
I have a very special love for this city
(Well alright, well okay 3x)
(Well alright, well alright, well alright)
I wanted to make a song about where Im from
You know big up, my hometown, my territory, my state
But, I couldnt figure out much to brag about
Well, Prince lives here, weve got 10,000 lakes
But wait, the women are beautiful, to me they are
And were not infested with pretentious movie stars
Then it hit me, Minnesota is dope
If only simply for not what we have, but what we dont
Its all fair, it aint out there, its in there
Its in the mirror behind the breast, under the hair
Follow the dream doesnt mean leave the love
Roam if you must, but come home when youve seen enough
I love New York and Cali, but I aint moving
Too overpopulated, saturated with humans
And Im not big on rappers, actors, or models
If I had to dip Id probably skip to Chicago
None of this, this or this, no one, no where
Like damn Im from Minnesota, land of the cold air
Too many mosquitoes and a fair share of egos
But, like my man Sabby says,
Thats where my mommy stays
So, if the people laugh and giggle when you tell them where you live
Say Shhh! Say Shhh!
And, if you know this is where you want to raise your kids
Say Shhh! Say Shhh!
If youre from the Midwest, and it doesnt matter where
Say Shhh! Say Shhh!
If you can drink tap water and breathe the air
Say Shhh! Say Shhh!
Got trees and vegetation in the city I stay
The rents in the mail, and I can always find a parking space
The women outnumber the men two to one
Got parks and zoos, and things to do with my son
The night life aint all that, but thats okay
I dont need to be distracted by the devil every day
And the jobs aint really too hard to find
In fact, you could have mine if you knew how to rhyme
This is for everyone around the planet
That wishes they were from somewhere
Other than were theyre standing
Dont take it for granted
Instead take a look around
Quit complaining and build something on that groundAtmosphere - Hidden Track - http://motolyrics.com/atmosphere/hidden-track-lyrics.html
Plant something on that ground
Dance and sleep on that ground
Get on your hands and knees and watch the ants walk around the ground
Make a family, make magic, make a mess
Take the stress, feel your motivation, and build your nest
It sucks that you think where Im from is whack
But as long as thats enough to keep your ass from coming back
And, with a smile and a hint of sarcasm he said,
I beg your pardon, but this is my secret garden
(Alright, well okay, well alright, well okay)
(In the land of ice and snow 3x)
(Minneapolis, Minneapolis, Minneapolis)
So, if the people laugh and giggle when you tell them where you live
Say Shhh! Say Shhh!
If you know this is where you want to raise your kids
Say Shhh! Say Shhh!
If youre from the Midwest, and it doesnt matter where
Say Shhh! Say Shhh!
If you can drink tap water and breathe the air
Say Shhh! Say Shhh!
If the playground is clear of stems and syringes
Say Shhh! Say Shhh!
If theres only one store in your town that sells 12 inches
Say Shhh! Say Shhh!
If no one in your crew walks around with a gun
Say Shhh! Say Shhh!
And, if you aint gonna leave cause this is where youre from
Say Shhh! Say Shhh!
