Atmosphere - The Number One Lyrics






Her name was Stephanie something
She lived out in Richville, right off of Portland
I'm talking bout back in the ninth grade
Still had a pony tail, couldn't grow a high fade
Used to take the 5 way out to the suburbs
Waitin at the bus stop, there was my lovebird
She would get on, sit down, scoot me over
And smile with a jheri curl restin on my shoulder
And we would hit the mall together
Maybe hold each other's hand or share a Dr. Pepper
And all we ever did was kiss, no sex
But in our defense, there was never any stress

On the phone late at night when I'm supposed to be in bed
Mama doesn't know I'm talking to Lynette
I had a lot of sweet nothing to say
You could say a whole lot of nothing has changed to this day
We was fourteen, but she had breasts
Although we was both too young for anything sexual
Just wanted her to know that she was special
She used to write me notes, do you like me, yes no?
And I don't know if it was practice for later
But both of us would break our backs to spend time together
I don't ever remember trying to make her feel bad
Back then we didn't see things like that

There used to be a spot called the Boulevard theatre
And as a kid when a movie came out I would see it there
Sneakin in to the R-rated feature
I think I was fifteen, that's how I met Lisa
She showed up with a group of fly girls
So me and my crew was in superfly world
After the flick we all went outside
Paired off, took a walk into that night
I can't imagine that happening now
The innocence is gone and all the magic ran out
I wonder if my son will get to understand the fun
That comes from the summer with the one you call the one

There used to a be a fear and a nervousness
But back then it wasn't cause of domestic disturbances
It used to just hurt your heart
But now it's not enough until it rips the universe apart
Got to see a lot of love when I was a kid
Heartbreak made me wanna die but I never did
So this is for my old babysitter,
Wanted to sneak out and fall asleep by the lake with ya
Smells like candy, felt like family
For every girl that ever held me in the back seat
Used to vision being love struck with em
Till I got blindsided by these grown-up women

  12. w.... m....

    innocence and relationships in the 90's was the the truest. Nowadays it's all about sex and it's so sad.

    w.... m....

    I feel your pain

  13. S.... C....

    just recently found out about Atmosphere, i was wondering if there were any songs similar to this one?

    S.... C....

    flicker and yesterday maybe?

    S.... C....

    Just keep listening

    S.... C....

    The magic is in finding the music yourself. But, listen to "carry me home" .. a lot of their older music is sampled from jazz and whatnot. If you like this style look up their discography and listen to the "sad clown bad dub" stuff. They're short cds of about 5 songs that they'd record on the road. Happy hunting.

    S.... C....

    I've listened to a lot this is the best one

    S.... C....

    felt - woman tonight

  14. c.... b....

    when you grow up, things don't get complicated. we just complicate it because "simple" is just to much for most people to understand. if only we could all have the mentally we did as kids.

  15. S.... ....

    fire track

  16. G.... S....

    it was hard to listen to this song after that last relationship...but now I've met my true #1. been blind sided by these grown up women

  17. a.... a....

    Jesus, the nostalgia Atmosphere gives me

  18. M.... ....

    An ex girlfriend died just this year. Everything was mutual between us and hearing about this made me think a lot about back then. Therefore I dedicate this song to her. Although we never fully hit it off I really did enjoy being around her presence. RIP Brianna, your memories will live on every time I listen to this song.

    M.... ....

    +Muaythaifighter1000 Sorry to hear that geezer. This tune reminds me of those days in my early teens when it was so innocent. Just about to have a daughter and I hope she experiences that. That or my fist in their face little wankers! ;-)

  19. b.... t....

    might sound crazy but just heard of this group the the other day the song was sunshine

    b.... t....

    shitty trendy song listened by hipsters that think they know what music is

    b.... t....

    b.... t....

    bobby tutino keep listening. don't stop . any kind of day I have.... I turn on atmosphere.

  20. A.... L....

    yeeeeeeee

  21. J.... Q....

    If only all rap artists rapped about stuff like this... Now they just care about having a good beat they don't pay attention to making good lyrics not all rappers but most now

    J.... Q....

    Makes Atmosphere original and ‘the number one’

  22. Q.... W....

    Just broke up with the girl I lost it to and man that was hard. I know it'll be all good though. Love you slug, you get me through all the rough times. One love homie

    Q.... W....

    Quinn Winters you wanna listen to another great song that has slug in it. Listen to insomnia 411 by Roosevelt Franklin ft slug and Jean grae

    Q.... W....

    i feel you ...one love homes

  23. D.... G....

    "Got to see a lot of love when I was kid, heart break made me wanna die but I never did"
    This whole song always makes me have flashbacks of all my childhood loves. Love this song

  24. b.... ....

    You can't Fuck around with the underground! It sucks that so much ppl are stuck on the mainstream!!! Honestly I don't see what attracts them!
    This song is mad dope though!

  25. A.... K....

    It's definitely innocence lol

  26. P.... ....

    I'm pretty sure he says the innocence is gone. Not the inner sense.

  27. B.... ....

    What song is he sampling?

  28. T.... W....

    it's gotta be innocence.. inner sense doesn't make sense to me

  29. s.... ....

    I always heard it as "innocence" instead of "inner sense". Both make sense I guess. :P

  30. g.... ....

    God, this song makes me so emotional. Goosebumps, chills, heart racing. It's like Slug was there with me as my best friend. It's been a decade ago but memories are so vivid. Slug is a freaking genius! He puts in words these subtle feelings I experience so spot-on, it leaves me speechless. I just sit there and reminisce. Then press replay.

  31. B.... H....

    Thanks for putting up this lyric video.These dumb fucks are ungrateful bitches.

  32. t.... ....

    Fuck, I love this song.

  37. p.... g....

    "I can't imagine that happening now, The inner sense is gone and all the magic ran out. I wonder if my son will get to understand the fun that comes from the summer with the one you call the one." Deep stuff, Slug goes too hard.
