Tell me to make a website for the fans Like I'm kim Kardishian or some fuckin' white indie band Surely the world needs to know who you are They'll never cast your life aside like they have so far So come back its another verse More misfortune and another god damn curse But first please picture your life Picture your lies in a scene Remember who you are and that you'll never come clean Even when you gods above his robes white and mean Cant let me in your way for I'd just scruff up the scene Lets just pause for a moment Remember god for a moment My life is for him to judge It's for you on earth not to notice So why in the hell Should I write it all down Can't let my actions speak for themselves? I have to spell it all out? They said make a website so they know who you are Like you know about god unless he's in your heart Let us know you you really are Nothing changes and no one has cared so far And here we are for the last time you have to see my face And here we go you can laugh at misfortune and fame Here we go go away now we dont need you here You've fucked us from afar and you'll fuck us near Near to here so feel the fear I can hear the scream in my hear Dont ever have to call or have to see What its like to be me So if you like the beat let me make a record I am atlas and the rest is irrelevant I'll carry my world ontop of my shoulders Like I carried yours since you forced me across your borders Beat & Bass Classical in instrumentation the beat of the song is powerful and thumping. the bass drum thuds in perfect time creating a beat worthy of clapping or slamming feet along too. Cymbals slash along the way in a classic hip-hop sound. Hollow sounding toms pound the way but with the bass drum dominating the sound. The bass joins in with a funk sound staying subtle and quiet but keeping things going strong and steady the whole time repeating the same addicting line. Atmosphere In a jazzy escapade a small horn section creates the mood of the song at first. A guitar joins in as the verse really kicks in repeating an addicting riff. A muted trumpet contrasts sounds from a major rock driven riff to a minor melody repeated as the guitar fiddles around hammering and pulling in the background. The two instruments continue switching off and on usually with the guitar dominating but the horn creating a great, memorable contrast. Vocals Clean with no reverb, auto-tune, effects, or anything, Atlas raps with aggression and anger. An appalled tone sets the scene for a song that only escalates from distaste over his managers telling him he has to make a website and tell his stories and escalates to full on blasphemy against the white culture he feels he has been a victim of. Atlas sells it the whole way letting his anger punch and thrive at the most dramatic times and on the most dramatic lines Name: Atlas (Born Damon Lewis) Age: 18 Location: Reno, NV Genre: Rap, Hip-Hop Label: Unsigned Discography: Coming Later Tour: Coming Later Edited by user 09 April 2013 11:47:56(UTC) \| Reason: Not specified

Writing lyrics for him is just fun. Most of the RPs will be lyrics focused so dont expect extravagant description but I'll keep working with him. I agree that we need more hip-hop. Even though its not the genre I'm most comfortable with I think I could make him in to a very fun and interesting artist. Love writing lyrics. Glad you're all enjoying it Atlas: Hey there Erich thanks for the comment I'll keep my songs goin' like girls to a british accent Guess thats why I cant get no head Cuz my voice is too awkward and I dont own a bed I guess I could get a girl if I gave her enough pressure But I'll be a nice guy and work on making my next song fresher

The song is off Jackson's newest album "The Highway to Redemption". The song will be released as a single sometime in the future. LISTEN HERE

Damon Lewis, or Atlas, as he is known onstage, has collaborated with Tisha Jackson (whom he is currently dating), Stephanie Fierce, Chloe, and Isaac Lovelock to name a few. Now after a few demos including the ironic internet sensation "I am Atlas", the young rapper from Reno, Nevada of all places is ready to show the world what he can do on his first single for airplay and itunes, and not only this; he's doing it alone with no collaborations. As his debut single, to say that "The Next Great Hip-Hop Song" is ambitious would be an understatement. He called it the next great hip-hop song so automatically the expectations are huge. Joined by the fairly classic, established producer U-Mike, and a younger, lesser known producer XPonent, Atlas makes a song derived from a sound that was popular at least ten or more years ago. The beat isn't hard. There are no heavy electronics. The song is built on a simple beat where the complexity of the drum tone doesn't go beyond a clap, and the bassline only matches this simplicity. Sweet subtle guitars and mild orchestral elements make up the main atmosphere of the song. A catchy horn lick hooks the listener in. Atlas's rapping and soulful singing in the chorus pull the song together, but the style is almost archaic in modern pop music. He is calm and declarative rather than angry. He takes a "tell it like it is" approach that is natural and believable, but risks leaving the listener wishing there was more. Lyrically, Atlas explains his musical choices. In the second verse he declares "Bass lines have been replaced with bass drops" making it clear that he does not intend to use heavy electronics and synthesizers in his songs or take up the latest trends. The song essentially serves as a second introduction for Atlas. THough filled with some classic rap themes of fame, and sex, the song is truly about Atlas's ambition. He clearly wants to be the next great rapper, but many of the lines (Nigga I never said I was the best/I'm just here saying my verses are very relevant) subtly suggest that he knows he isn't there yet. Responses "No other rapper has the sophistication of Atlas. so many of his lyrics require considerable outside, scholarly knowledge to understand. This song is a breath of fresh air." - Michael, Santa Barbara, CA "Boring. The beat is awful and he raps slow as hell" - Rachel, Cleveland, OH "The most ambitious debut single from a rap artist in years. Atlas sees himself being huge and he might be, but the song itself doesn't bring anything new to the table" - Rolling Stone "I dont know if Atlas is trying to be taken seriously or not. I dont know if hes trying to re-define hip-hop or just fuck around. But I know that for almost four minutes I was incredibly entertained." - NME Lyrics Summer time and I wait up For this fame to stay up Stay up and catch up to my name I aint no lame duck I am a full throttle sophisticated lyricist Kobe Bryant of words: Dont need no assist I can always hold my own Sorry if you're hella pissed But not really I'm not really sorry See only I could write this song No I never could do this wrong african safari, we eatin' calamari. So with quality like this why the fuck should I be sorry I'm just here to be the next great artist tHis is my second introduction. This is the smartest If you're still unsure about who I am Stick around I'll prove I aint no fucking scam stay for the next verse so you can fucking understand I dont cheat, i dont want to dirty my fucking hand This is the song The one you've been waiting for This is the song That make a song so much more This'll be the one You want to talk about This is the hip-hop song That'll bring the crowd out Oh now the first verse is over Introductions over so I'm right here for ya You already thinkin it so I'm askin it: What happened to hip hop Bass lines have been replaced with bass drops Everyone selling out. Everyone trying to get ontop Fuck I wont stop until it stops Ya'll niggas aren't hip hop; ya'll niggers unhip-pop oh I'm not here to try to save the genre It dont need saving I'm just rappin' a mantra We just need to be natural: less drama Bring back the hope and change, Barack Obama Can we stop acting like we all some fuckin profound shit We just fuckin hos, tight ass, round shit So no damn rapper should move to be a saint Sometimes we so sinful I think we must faint We gotta feed, drink and always fuck a blondie George Orwell knew it well, oh my Gandhi See I'm not workin for ye, I'm just workin for me I'm rappin for me. Rappin' to pay my fee But I'll fuckin' do it hard try not to go wrong Thats why I call it the next great song This is the song The one you've been waiting for This is the song That make a song so much more This'll be the one You want to talk about This is the hip-hop song That'll bring the crowd out Yeah listen, why is it whenever I hear the radio sound Its like all the rappers been buried in the ground Shit I dont wanna have to make great songs alone Do it on my own: no farm, home grown So come on everybody lets get busy Lets make a real record lets not get pissy Get it together no need to get hissy fit your sound this isnt pop so theres no need to get fizzy In due time I know I'll feel the spotlight Be so high like I'm flyin' over kites But for noe I dont need to be that arrogant Let my verses speak cause they're so elegant Nigga I never said I was the best I'm just here saying my verses are very relevant You can say I'm wrong and you can still be strong But you still gotta listen to my new hip hop song, lets go This is the song The one you've been waiting for This is the song That make a song so much more This'll be the one You want to talk about This is the hip-hop song That'll bring the crowd out Sounds Like Edited by user 11 July 2013 16:39:36(UTC) \| Reason: Not specified
