Atmosphere - National Disgrace Lyrics
[Slug]
(I pledge allegiance to Budweiser and free drugs)
Peace to Rick James, Anna Nicole Smith, Bill Clinton
And Motley Crue
And anyone else who has ever utilized their 15 minutes
Absolute jerk off, just to keep the masses entertained
This goes out to learning from the mistakes of others
Bring it on now
Come on
I said come on
I said come on
[Verse 1]
They call me a jerk, once they get to know me
It's no work if I was phony, I'd win a trophy
Who needs to make records when there's seeds to sell
Freak the bell, and make it all spin crooked
God please help, too much grim to look at
Grab the tree by the limb and shook it
Like, "Have you seen my self esteem, where the hell'd you put it?"
Oh wait, never mind, I found it in a bottle
Drunk at the Troubadour talking to a model
Wrecked the rental on Santa Monica Boulevard
I was headed to the El Rey to slap a security guard
[Chorus]
Rowdy, stubborn, loud and arrogant
As American as apple pie and embarrassment
Package the kid's face, put it on display
Look ma!, another national disgrace
Dumb and ignorant, drunk and belligerent
Open up your heart y'all, come on and let me in
Package the kid's face, put it on display
Look ma!, another national disgrace
[Verse 2]
The liquor gets hold of the head liver's soul
Blurry on Sixth Street and Red River Road
Last thing I remember was the Ogden Theatre
Backstage bathroom making out with all three of ya
Kicked out of Topcats... for where I put the vomit at
Finally passed out in a laundry mat
Malnourished and topless, slurring and obnoxious
Like, "Yo, we got this!"
The Zodiac Killers 'bout to rock this
At the Great American Music Hall, pissin on the box office
Pick apart the detail, alcohol and females
All around the world same song
Houseton and Ludlow, Maxfish, Vampire
You poor the beer and I'll bring the satire
No prob, I'll play the part of doorknob and make it look
So good you're gonna wish that it was your job
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
It's all about the hangovers, and late checkouts
Maid banging on the door like, "Wake up! Get Out!"
But Come on mami, y'all probably don't want me comin'
Out like a Zombie brushing teeth in the lobby
This is a career, not a hobby
Ain't no reason to fear what you wanna see
Hey paparazzi, don't you wanna watch me quote the
Fonzi and then crash his Mazaradi?
Sweat pants, t-shirt, mesh hat, blue blockers
Feeding Jack D. to a room full of teenie boppers
Howdy neighbor, take a shot for flavor
Let's debate whether or not we should punch the waiter
I'm just kidding, let's love each other
It goes lick, swallow, suck, and order another
Do what you like, don't nobody care
It's a sign of success only in America
[Chorus]
[Chorus End: 4x]
I didn't cooome to start no trouble or hurt no one
I'm just heeere to get drunk, party, and have some fun

Atmosphere National Disgrace Comments
I'm taking this to 2020.
15 minutes to buy a six pack lol
Such an amazing song, that I never hear anyone play..never ever. But its astonishing.
One nation under god
I love the E&A sign behind the hobo in the beginning. Eyedea was the same kaliber as Slug.
2019 anyone??
Every year anyone?
What's frank Gallagher doing in an atmosphere music video?😜🤙🏾
Seven's Travels might be their best album... I don't know, it's tough to decide
real hiphop
Inject me with mineral oil. Hehe
Finally the clicks are back
My whole body is systemically rotting away. Nice. Stomach, nervous system, mind, skin, back, ears, vision, heart, liver, kidneys.
The sooner the better
I pledge allegiance to Budweiser and free drugs. Embracing the hangovers and comedowns is essentially intermittent reinforcement. Discipline. Meditation. Prisneyland.
Oooo stable ground. Hc svnt dracones.
Love it.
This song sounds like a Saturday with the boys!😆🤙
This is the funniest music video I’ve ever seen
This song is over 15 years old. Not about trump. Get your head out of your asses and do some research before you post shit that isn't true.
Accurate display: Trump.
I would like to know what is being said in the background vocals after the "I pledge allegiance to Budweiser and free drugs..." bar.
I can hear him continue with the melody behind the "Peace to Rick James, Anna Nicole Smith, Bill Clinton
And Motley Crue..." spoken word bars.
I cannot find any information anywhere on this.
The "one nation underground in taxis and strip clubs" part?
You might need better speakers, or headphones. Ive never had trouble hearing or clearly understanding the overlapping vocals.
Great song either way. Pretty unique, well executed technique.
Eyedea315 I guess I just can’t understand what’s being said in the “hotel bathroom tubs” bit. Like... the few words before them. I never realized how easy it actually was to understand the rest. I must not have been listening hard enough.
Ant got hemmed up...
Dope music poet powerful dope best ever real hip-hop raw lyrical era rap play word
America is like a bad rolemodel
Yeeeh 🙌
Whatup Murs!
This song is about Donald Trump.
Are you fucking serious less than 2 mill views. I been listening on n off for the oast ten years. Like otger jus lame shit can get 10 mill songs like nothing . guess what underground is living mfs aint knowin
RIP WHISTLER
Atmosphere, well my main man SLUG! AMERICAN PIE Ala carte free sure... love sleeping in strange places
Never more did this song pertain to the current left wing/liberal ideology that is out of control in the U.S.
All these years and I've finally found the address! I always knew it was in LA
704 N Heliotrope Dr
Had to watch this video again after listening to chil bill dope whistle beats
This song is more accurate now than ever.
this is fucking awesome
this song has new relevance huh
watching this today. it's fitting.
I am playing this on repeat on Tuesday. All. fucking. day.
Los Angeles say shhhhh
"They call me a jerk when they get to know me, but they don't stop calling... " trump 2016!
That should be the new mascot for the Democratic Party. A fucking scarecrow. A straw man. Oh but it has to be gender neutral so just make it a hay bell.
and it seems you are attempting to call me a liberal/associated with the democratic party with that last comment? that is an ad hominem as well, but its also just blatantly wrong, im like the farthest away from the democrats/ liberals that you could possibly be.
And another thing. If loving America makes me a nationalist, which your dumbass most likely equates to racism (why else would nationalism be bad in your mind) then wouldn't anti American rhetoric actually be anti white hate speech? See your double thinks, straw man arguement, and just all out dumb fuckery is going to end up hurting you more than it hurts me. You'll be discredited shamed and labeled a liar. The only people who will support you are other ignorant and arrogant dip shits.
Slug voted for Jill Stein. He wore her shirt at his show five days before the election. Freestyle rappin' live, he said, "Fuck Trump and fuck Hillary."
Thanks for you choice of words ,Colin Powell...now I have the whistle stuck in my head.
Damn, you beat me to it.
original
Slug's my biggest inspiration for sure
0:46 eyedea and abilities
+G THANG Good eye!
Rest in peace Mikey. Peace to DJ Abilities and Kathy Avril.She does such a good job of holding down his memory , Go buy some shirts and books.
That's down
Wish Michael was still around. I consider him one of the greatest lyricists of all time.
lmao we all secretly wanna be chased by the paparazzi
inside33 haha you'd love it come on
where i come from... we learn early to keep away from flashing lights and low morals :)
Have you been to an atmosphere show?
DJ FISH SKAYLZZ Unfortunately not
I had the opportunity to go to one of their shows in Portland, ME but missed out due to no one willing to give me a ride even though I was offering to pay for both our tickets, the gas, AND food... :( my friends suck. haha
This has been bothering me for a while.
Does anyone know what follows his pledge of allegiance?
"I pledge allegiance to Budweiser and free drugs..."
There's more in the background. I remember reading it somewhere, but I can't find the source anymore.
+Luis Carranza "and people who pass out in hotel bathroom tubs. one nation underground in taxis and strip clubs"
+Zak Greenberg You have just completed my life. I can now proudly doing along with Slug. Thanks Zak!
"Peace to Rick James, Anna Nicole Smith, Bill Clinton
And Motley Crue
And anyone else who has ever utilized their 15 minutes
Of fame to realize their true dreams of being an
Absolute jerk off, just to keep the masses entertained
This goes out to learning from the mistakes of others"
Luis Carranza I pledge allegiance to Budweiser and free drugs.
And people who've had child in hotel bathroom tubs.
One nation underground in taxis and strip clubs.
DONALD TRUMP
+missclubb ^ Look Ma! Another national disgrace!
The lady at 4:46 is apparently able to read backwards and upside down,!
Oh, you mean like Justin Beiber.
didn't realize that the parking meter was set for 15 minutes as in "15 minutes of fame" until now
O_O He's right...
Thought that was obvious
This song goes well addressing all the ignorant non-contributing attention whores that infect our modern day dying world...
@Ellanor Kim K.....Kayne lol I could go on unfortunately....
@Daren Redman
I would have to say they are among the top 10.
@Ellanor Trump cough cough
Ellanor like agent Orange face...Trump
When I play this song to people all they hear is the beat & say that song is dumb, but if they would focus more on whats being said on the beat maybe they would reconsider dissing good music like this.
this beat is dope as fuck.. you can always count on these two dudes to pour their heart and soul into every track they make.
I feel like that bum!!!!!!
Beat is sweet find better people..
I get the same response when i show people Aesop Rock
I could never take this beat seriously..Pace picante whistle just makes my dogs ears raise
This is true
Poor Santa.
Bad Santa stuffed your stocking with coal?
That's odd, I looked up national disgrace and nothing related to George w bush is showing up
@I do things out of spite That would be global disgrace.
I do things out of spite that username tho
I do things out of spite Trump somehow crashed right through the low bar set by Bush 😂
i make dope sampled jazz beats ..check my yt channel
Probably thee best video for this song and in general! lmao! it's perfect, love.
specifically the woman reading about him and not noticing him lol.
@Zach Flores just like the world today with their faces stuck in their gigantic phones, computers, and t.v's.
Anyone knows the song that it sounds like? or sampled from??
IF pLEASE
Hey I like Rick James!!
one of my favorite atmosphere song if not my favorite
I didn't cooome to start no trouble or hurt no one
I'm just heeere to get drunk, party, and have some fun
Story of my life
I don't wanna hurt nobody just wanna party 🎶
thats how they used to doo
how have i not heard this before??? amazing!
All around the world, same song.
Howdy neighbor, take a shot for flavor
Let's debate whether or not we should punch the waiter
I'm just kidding, let's love each other
It goes lick, swallow, suck, and order another
^^^^Love that
Scary, scary dark!
whats that sample
I love the coins in the beginning.. goes right with the beat..
E and A poster by the hobo
there should be a E&A DAY run-dmc logo shirt
Sorry, did not read your comment. But yeah awesome.
The Doodleman
I love the E&A sign behind the hobo in the beginning. Eyedea was the same kaliber as Slug.
Dope dope dope and more dope let the cream burn
Drinking from a fire hydrant
≤3333333
Lemons bud. He has lemons in every music video.
SaintedPlacebo .. it was oranges 🍊 😊
at first i thought they were lemons, as a reference to 'when life gives you lemons you paint that shit gold'.
Atchung googen von advertissemitismentaion.
I was expecting the onions to at least hit someone.
Guess it was too much to ask for.
aww poor ant getting arrested :(
fuck that id turn around and smash their expensive little cameras
They're just so excited to have found Ernest Hemingway didn't actually kill himself.
lick swallow suck and order another
This was the first song I heard that introduced me to Atmosphere back in '04 and when I saw his face, I knew I'd be hooked for life.
he is.... douche
This is true rap music
You should have added Miley Cyrus in the beggining.
one of the best music videos ever.
Goes to like.... already liked... fuck off.
so that does santa the rest of the year
Malnourished and topless slurring and obnoxious like yo we got this!! It's me!!
Still bumping this shit in '13!
shout out to 6th and red river!!! Austin baby
best song about your 15 minuets of fame
Just punch the waiter bro
Inspiring
you're an idiot
LIKE YO WE GOT THIS!
52 people disliked this video, all of which mustve been hipsters.
Lmao, is that Ant being arrested at 2:25??
If this song's beat doesn't make you want to go out and pick a fight with someone, you're in the wrong.
he is supposed to be a hollywood star that has abused his fame and fallen to being a bum. hence being chased by the popperazzi.
