Atmosphere - Modern Man's Hustle

This song doesn't particularly represent anything going on in my life at the moment, but it's such a beautiful song (in every capacity), so I decided to post it.

The first time I met the devil was at a Motel 6
She left Hell to spend a weekend on Earth just for kicks
Sexy little bitch, shorter than expected
About five foot five, gettin� thick in the breast and thighs
Beautiful dark eyes, a strong stare
Large lips, soft hands, and long hair
I said I�ll make you smile with the simple fact I�m good at it
I�ll make you smile just so I could sit and look at it

I will show you all you need to know
You must hold on to anyone that wants you
And I will love you, through simple and the struggle
But girl, you gotta understand the modern man must hustle
I will show you all you need to know
You must hold on to anyone that wants you
And I will love you, through simple and the struggle
But girl, you gotta understand the modern man must hustle

Who cares what Jane says? She always spits the same spit
I�d rather kill the radio and listen to the rain hit

Little sister needs seclusions
Somehow she�ll discover it through the pop music
Got used to the feeling of falling
But you never see her following
Bouncing back and forth between the healing and the hollering

Riding the outer ring of your own private Saturn
Thoughts scattered all across the gray matter

Little baby doll
She doesn�t know what to say to y�all
Her patience is short and of course the pride is way too tall
Break it all, smash the past like it was made of glass
Ain�t no other way to make it last

It hurts to watch Lucy lose her dreams
I�ve had the pleasure of seein� our hero kick and scream
And when she calms down, I�ll turn the sound down
And put my arms around the little lost and found
And I�ll tell her that�

I will show you all you need to know
You must hold on to anyone that wants you
And I will love you, through simple and the struggle
But girl, you gotta understand the modern man must hustle
I will show you all you need to know
You must hold on to anyone that wants you
And I will love you, through simple and the struggle
But girl, you gotta understand the modern man must hustle

Hush little lady; don�t say a word
Or the rest of the village gonna know you�re disturbed

And if you let �em know that you�re vulnerable
Then there ain�t no stoppin� how far they�ll open you slow
I�m a chapter in your textbook, read me like a checkbook
Mistook love at first sight for a sex look
Enough of the blind man�s bluff; I want the good stuff

Trying to hook up a full belly and a foot rub
The modern man�s hustle: I dig it, I shovel
Feed me your troubles, then need me to cuddle
Bundle up in my mitten and coat
As cold as it get, I�ll keep your winter afloat
So let the snow fall (it�s cold in town)
She doesn�t wanna understand why I still come around
She look at the mirror, she don�t see what I see
She holds no history of how precious she be
You lay your head on my chest, speak of the stress
Kick your feet up and rest before we clean up the nest
I hate to see you upset; it cramps the position
And if you didn�t know, you better listen
You better listen, �cause�

I will show you all you need to know
You must hold on to anyone that wants you
And I will love you, through simple and the struggle
But girl, you gotta understand the modern man must hustle
I will show you all you need to know
You must hold on to anyone that wants you
And I will love you, through simple and the struggle
But girl, you gotta understand the modern man must hustle
