LYRICS:
It’s gonna be alright
It’ll be okay I think that needs to be established
For all of us that are easily distracted
Impatiently waiting for that American dream
Staring at the cracked screen of my anti-facts machine
Crash landed where the woke intersect with the exhausted
They asked if I’m depressed I don’t doubt it
I was told it all began as a quest for some knowledge
Progress after you process the conflict
I’ll be okay and if I got one wish
I’d probably waste it trying to make myself an optimist
It’s ironic because most of my thoughts are positive
Just hop in the whip I promise not to drive off of the cliff
Happiness is my favorite physical feature
But I’m afraid I’ll figure out that it’s a mythical creature
I need to believe in the simulation that we’re living in
Spent the whole stimulus check on some stimulants
I’ll be okay just freestyle the answers
If you feel it put your hands up in front of surveillance cameras
Okay I don’t take the buffet for granted
Make you understand it when you see me licking my plate
We gotta travel through space to keep the family safe
Check your connections can they can handle the bass
If they reflect your face it amplifies the existence of your significance
But only if you survive the collision

It’ll be okay
Even if you’re feeling like there ain’t no way
You’re still with us today
It’s gonna be okay
Okay, alright
It’ll be okay
Even if you’re feeling like there ain’t no way
You’re still with us today
It’s gonna be okay
Okay
I think I’m feeling alright

And I’ll admit that sometimes I’m probably tongue-tied
Got me staring at the sun like my shoes ain’t come untied
The clown face got replaced by this mountain of the
Midwest average from the mid-2000’s
And being the best was never the intended destination
I just want appreciation for my presentation
Even if I was the only human left in population
This is dedicated to the dedication
You better love yourself today because tomorrow will be harder
Put your guard up don’t let them penetrate your armor
Collect whatever crumbs you got and keep them in a bread box
You knew I was the one when I was sleeping in the wet spot
And baby if you had a dollar for all of your doubters
Maybe you could grow a salad and water the flowers
I know the zookeeper seen my leash and my collar
I’m in a tuxedo smoking weed in the shower

It’ll be okay
Even if you’re feeling like there ain’t no way
You’re still with us today
It’s gonna be okay
Okay, alright
It’ll be okay
Even if you’re feeling like there ain’t no way
You’re still with us today
It’s gonna be okay
Okay
I think I’m feeling alright

  • Growing with atmosphere has been so rad, I feel like every album has been relevant to my life in some way when it came out
  • @kevthepoet
    Murs - "We are the last one's left". That hit different.
  • @Tangogun

  • @Colt45music
    MURS as the Bum! Haha love it!! So happy there’s new Atmosphere!
  • @danb_ATC
    This song dropped exactly on the 3rd anniversary of when my younger sister passed away and Atmosphere is one of the direct connections between our hearts, and has been for about 20 years. I'm brought to tears of joy as I listen because I can feel that she's still just as excited about a new Atmosphere single and upcoming album as she was since 'Lemons". Today I'm choosing to believe that the straightforward hook on this song was my personal request for Slug to write for Amy. <3 Peace and love to you all.
  • I'd just like to thank Slug. I've been a fan 20 years plus. Hope he reads this and understands the impact his music's had on me and my life. It's been a struggle, like any other. This is exactly what I needed to hear man. I can't Express my appreciation. Big ups. Thank you.
  • @ceetruth4709
    Ant makes such a unique sound that I can recognize an Atmosphere beat even if it's brand new.
  • @frankmefrank
    How is Atmosphere still putting bangers out all these years?
  • Setting the stage for the best dad rap with this fit. When does a dad joke become a dad joke? When it becomes apparent. Tell Ant we love the samples!!
  • @BlackLiq
    There’s so many Easter eggs in this video. You can tell a lot of love went into this one.
  • Over the past 20 years, I couldn't even count how many times a new Atmosphere track dropped exactly when I needed it! Thank you!
  • @bigdingo8848
    Max Caster in here because... EVERYONE LOVES THE ACCLAIMED!
  • @ReverieLove

    I lost my wife on New Year's Eve 2019. Our son was about to turn 10. Our 20-year anniversary was 70 days away. I fell in love again july 4th, 2022. She was amazing, her son was within 4 months of my son's age. She left, but her son always had my back. He called me on Christmas morning that year when things were really ugly for him. I told him his mom would come back. We'd be a family. She came back for Easter of 2023. We got engaged. Went to concerts, out of town, family vacation... she got pregnant. Our son is due 2/12/24. She left. Gone for Halloween, her birthday, Thanksgiving, Christmas, & (my least favorite) New Year's Eve. Kristi, I'm waiting with our son's for you to come home. We miss you. We love you. We need you. DIFLY DIFMY AAFFAA 2024 ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥 She'd left again in August but came back in time to see Atmosphere in Atlanta 8/31. When she left later in October, it's been the last time. My lady's got 2 men & I'm trying to raise 2 men. Shout out to slug & Ant. Cheers to 2024. It'll be okay.
  • Your music always speaks to me I'm so happy to have come across your music all those years ago.
  • @markferk93
    Been a fan since I discovered you in 03 respect to us old heads who are still around and supporting. Got my dad rap sticker on my car and my kids Atmo outfits to match.
  • @MetrikOner
    Soundset posters, They Live references, Misfits, Gorillaz, Murs shout outs... What a killer video and a great song.
  • This song needs to be heard by millions, very well timed and extremely well said once again Ant and Atmosphere!
