Shout out to any dad that would do anything to be with their son but life dealt you another hand. Stay strong and keep showing em unconditional love, they will recognize that. Take care of yourselves brothers.
@bubba_slumps_ i have to thank-you for that comment Mr B Slumps.i needed to be reminded ..its tough most times to even imagine the future when the past is still happening in one's mind...so thanx.
growin up in a fixed home shit hits home my parent fought alcoholic father i had everything thanks to them im a 40yo recovering heroin addict on its 20th year not everything in the hood makes it to suburbia but we had all the same issues some worse .just educate the children we must EDUCATE EDUCATE ...EDUCATE THE YOUTH I WOULDNT WANT ANOTHER ME living in 2022. #educate
It’s like I’m in a cycle that no matter how hard I try to break, I find myself in my old man’s shoes. I love you pop. I hope I don’t disappoint my son as much. I want to die knowing I mattered. That I made a difference. Earn your daylight, internet friends.
Great work! Once I got sober my life changed for the better. I am still learning who I am. It's a trip, for sure, but yes, that part of the song speaks loudly to me, as well.
Yesterday was my favorite Atmosphere jam since I lost my dad when I was little, but now that I'm a dad of a beautiful five month old named Theodore, this takes the spot. Thanks Slug
@@ColinMor-fj3qc I'm sorry I missed this. The boy is great, thank you for asking. I hope you've made it too! Check in. And know life is beautiful, even when it's ugly
@@curtisa.deeter160 how cool that you wrote me back. The girl I love is in a warzone and can't leave :) Truly, I've learned the value of life, and am grateful for every day and I have faith that one day, I'll be a dad like you. Haven't made it yet, but I'm giving it all I got. Clocking out for lunch, I think i'll play this song Tell Theodore he's got a friend in California :)
I’ve listened to this song for so long and I’m just now listening again, I don’t have any kids of my own but I have stepkids and it makes me so happy when I see them do the things I do. It goes to show that DNA doesn’t define who a kid is gonna grow up to be. From what I’ve seen in my life, it’s how they’re raised. Anyway, I appreciate you Slug, you’re the man.
And I appreciate you treating them kids like your own. I was abused by my stepfather majority of my life. I’m just glad to hear a man not abusing his partners kids 🥲
Lost my dad three years ago...hated him growing up...knew he would go right when we finally got to know each other and made me regret hating him all those years..cancer sucks, but ill always be thankful for his tough love. ❤
You gotta remember your pop was doing the best with the tools he had.. like I bet it was fucked for him growing . Intergenerational trauma especially amongst us males is deep. And that's all you can do if you are a father!
Srry but it’s not from this song but “I’ll grind you and your weak crew into beef stew, serve you with seafood you can’t cloud my vision cause your see through!” Just savage and is my favorite line of all time.
Sometimes the weeks fly a little too fast And sometimes I go to sleep a little too trashed Other times I'm not sittin' on enough cash And other times today feels too much like the past
The one thing I love about this song is that...The first verse was dedicated to his son who's making his mom's happy when it's his job to make them both happy. The second verse is dedicated to his father who was reckless in the marriage with his mother and how he treated her and how he hates him. Last verse was for him talking about how he's fucking up. I love this song, cause he talking about generation down hand to hand his father, him and his son but backwards though! Definitely a song from the heart from Slug! First time I heard this I believe I shed a tear
Thank you man! This one of my favorite songs by Atmosphere along with "The Woman with the Tattoo Hands"! Slug is definitely a great emcee from the heart! Guys like him I look up to in Hip Hop wanting to be more lost in my music and just bringing the real from the heart! Love songs like this foreal!
"Little Man" Dear Jacob I won't take up too much of you time I know you're trying to get your video game-grind on And that's fine Just gimme a second to empty my face Before I hit the road again to go and win this paper chase I've been watching you man I'm proud of you man You're growing up to be the best man that you possibly can I know you understand Why I go out of town I also know my days are colder when you're not around Sometimes I wonder what it's like to be adapted to the fact That daddy never lived inside the same shack And sometimes I get this pain in my stomach's pit It's what I get I'm convinced it's my punishment For those nights I got drunk and let go at some bar In some city with some people I don't know For all the times that the lines on your face Reminded me of the days before the dagonflies escaped It trips me out how you pick up all my traits From the way that you spit to the fists that you make I watch the way you try to keep your mom happy Daddy learned that from you You're supposed to learn that from daddy I can't teach much when it comes to women I drive safe and slow but don't know nothing 'bout the engine You're doing good little man thats all I really meant I love you You're my best friend, thanks for listening Dear Craig What up bones?

I'm afraid of my fate, don't wanna turn out like you I've never hit a woman I won't do coke And for that alone I love you and I wanna thank you old man Dear Sean What's goin' on? Not much to say Just checkin' in wit'cha trying to see what's wrong today I know there's gotta be something kickin' your bruises How's the love? How's the music? How's the self-abusiveness?

Your dad says, "Whats up?" And me, I wanna thank you, but I won't, I'll just say, "Good luck."
my brother in law first introduced me to this track and at the moment i didn't have any kids, i thought it was alright. fast forward a few years later, and i have a little boy now. i heard this on my way home just letting my ipod rock and i was blown away, i asked my brother in law if he had heard it and he said "ya man i played it for you and you said it was alright" i laughed and said he was right about how good it was..
Alex Ludwig that's a very obvious thing to say, of course there is, that's the beauty of music ! we all get to interpret it our own ways with our own experiences..kind of a useless comment on your part, but hey how about i give ya a thumbs up anyways, love life buddy!
Dear Mrs Mckay I miss watching movies at your house. I miss how you were the friendliest person. I miss you guiding me through my life, telling me it's okay to a alittle chubby. Saying "hey you'll grown into it." I can't believe it's been 5 years with out you mom.
He is obviously gifted his music forever speaks volumes for any individual that knows what it's like living && going through life in complex dark beautiful raw real situations n everything else life has to offer. throughout all of his art and work he expresses the various feelings & emotions we all feel. and he does it to such a fine degree. 👏👌✨🎶💙 life works in mysterious ways . if it wasn't for music who knows where we would be 👥🌌🌠🌎 love this song
its all part of living in minnesota. when its cold in the winter its so cold you can die from being outside for like 20 min. and the lack of sun puts you into a seasonal depression.
"I watch the way you try to keep your mom happy Daddy learned that from you You're supposed to learn that from daddy." my sons 3 yrs. old guess hes seen me down too many times that he always asks are you ok and does whatever to make me smile we're so in tune hes my little gentleman my biggest blessing. heard this song today i had to stop and keep myself from crying. armosphere has helped me thru hell and back.
This song is the closest I've been to crying since my best friend died over ten years ago. I'm convinced I have none left to fall. This song reminds me that I'm doing the best as I can as a single father, but also that I can do better. Thank you for always being here Slug.
my favorite part of this whole album is not the songs, though they are all great, but the album cover. fold up chairs, cheap rug, in what looks like a church basement. ive been to a lot of AA meetings, and that is the classic AA meeting room right there. if only there was a coffee machine in the background
Ant and Slug are both masters of their craft, and this song clearly displays it. My favorite song and probably always will be. Keep pushing Atmosphere.
As a father of a young man, that has been to prison multiple times and now works away from home, the first verse of this song rips me in HALF man every fucking time. Slug is no doubt my most relatable artist of any genre.
"Just give me a second to empty my face, before i go on the road again and try to win this paper chase. I've been watching you man, I'm proud of you man. You're growing up to be the best man that you possibly can." Gets me every time :'( on the bus right now going back to the twin cities. I miss you already papa. At least you're still alive. You're my best freind thanks for listening
@@91Definite I think about this line a lot. I think it is true. Not in that hurting someone means you love them, but when that relationship ends it causes pain, if you didn't love them it wouldn't hurt.
One thing that helped me growing up in a hopeless environment was "You're growing up to be the best man that you possibly can" cause everybody's just hating and I realized life is about being the best you can possibly be and not what people expect you to be or compare you to!
Fabian Roland I totally relate man. Hearing this song provide a sort of clarity in not trying to be anything else but the best man you can be. Good comment 🤙
Learning how others deal with life through music, creativity and art. Isnt just about $. It's about the message and touching who listens to it in a good way. Innovate and create to "BE" the change the world needs instead of effecting people negatively. This is the kind of music with ideas to help the world instead of incouraging violence or ignorance. This Dude has it right, by learning from being wrong in the past. Hope he keeps doing what he did here. I see, it could help so many people if they can relate like I have.👍
I used to always skip this song when it came on shuffle but rn i just listened to it focusing on the lyrics and almost cried. Hope we'd actually talk more, dad. Im always here and i hope you'd actually share your problems with me
I wanna share this song to my dad tell him look I know you wanted the best for me. Now I got a little one, his words make me ache for how much I want my son to grow up to be the best he could be always be there for him. Really hits
Im a born metalhead but more than 10 years ago, one of my hip-hopper friend was listening this song and I caught myself really touched. These lyrics got to my bones. I started listen Atmosphere. I like his emotinal life-smelled lyrics and even these beats haha. Hip-hop style is far from me but sometimes when i got tired by gringing metal riffs I push Slugs albums into my player for relaxing. And now Im 33 and a divorced father of a 9 yo boy and trying to start a new life. Really actual haha.
Yeah, i have a genetic son whom I've never met, I've been in these boy's lives for years. So they know me as dad; their sperm donor was an abusive woman beater who tore his kids down. Sucks right now. I talk to the oldest twice a week.

I’ve never related to a song so much in my life. I can put this on repeat and never get sick of it.
Growing up in a broken home, this shit hits home!

3years 6 months sober last week
Congratulations I'm trynna get sober too... shit's hard but I feel like I'm ready
@@sikconethegreat I just saw your comment! Never give up! I pray your doing great! No matter how many times you fall, get back up. You can do it!
Nice! Stay strong 💪

Great work! Once I got sober my life changed for the better. I am still learning who I am. It's a trip, for sure, but yes, that part of the song speaks loudly to me, as well.

When I first heard this song I remember being like “I’ll never make these mistakes” and now I’m older and relating to it on another level …
Couldn't agree more!!
Nurture over nature, you are proving a positive influence is more important than genetic makeup.
So blessed to have been a huge fan of Slug and Mr dibs. Hope you are enjoying this massive track🎉

"Little Man"
Dear Jacob
I won't take up too much of you time
I know you're trying to get your video game-grind on
And that's fine
Just gimme a second to empty my face
Before I hit the road again to go and win this paper chase
I've been watching you man
I'm proud of you man
You're growing up to be the best man that you possibly can
I know you understand
Why I go out of town
I also know my days are colder when you're not around
Sometimes I wonder what it's like to be adapted to the fact
That daddy never lived inside the same shack
And sometimes I get this pain in my stomach's pit
It's what I get
I'm convinced it's my punishment
For those nights I got drunk and let go at some bar
In some city with some people I don't know
For all the times that the lines on your face
Reminded me of the days before the dagonflies escaped
It trips me out how you pick up all my traits
From the way that you spit to the fists that you make
I watch the way you try to keep your mom happy
Daddy learned that from you
You're supposed to learn that from daddy
I can't teach much when it comes to women
I drive safe and slow but don't know nothing 'bout the engine
You're doing good little man thats all I really meant
I love you
You're my best friend, thanks for listening
Dear Craig
What up bones? How it goes?
Yeah, me? Well, you know, you know, same old, same old
Sorry that the phone calls ain't too routine
Just been runnin' around the globe tryin' to do my thing
Sometimes the weeks fly a little too fast
And sometimes I go to sleep a little too trashed
Other times I'm not sittin' on enough cash
And other times today feels too much like the past
Sometimes at night I would watch y'all fight
A child wonderin'
Why your life just ain't alright?
What's the violence about? Why's it in my house?
And even the memories are turned up too loud
Yeah, I got some issues in my head
Knew we should've started fixing 'em back when she left you
I'm not trying to get you down, I know you're different now
But your little man justs wants you to listen now
I'm over thirty, can't maintain relations
All these women wanna hurt me and I just don't have the patience
I can't trust 'em
And they're not much help
When they start to push and pull the buttons I don't trust myself
What pride, fists, and words just might do?
I'm afraid of my fate, don't wanna turn out like you
I've never hit a woman
I won't do coke
And for that alone I love you and I wanna thank you old man
Dear Sean
What's goin' on?
Not much to say
Just checkin' in wit'cha trying to see what's wrong today
I know there's gotta be something kickin' your bruises
How's the love? How's the music? How's the self-abusiveness?
Got a lot to lose, it's breakin' your shoulders
So you let your paranoia place your bets for you
Too many cigarettes, messin' up your voice
Too many arguments, tryin' to test your poise
The only women that love you are fans and family
Mom has no choice, but fans leave you randomly
No heavy rotation
In any location
You're not ready to face that you have no steady vocation
Plus you're gettin' old, your raps are exhausted
Stop it, everybody knows that you've lost it
Singin' for these kids you don't know
When you should be at home with your own instead you're on your telephone
Fightin' with your girl like it's you against the world
Another drunk hotel bedroom corner, curled up like a naked fetus
Come and save him Jesus
Place him back in time before the Reaganomics and Adidas
Sometimes you're not impressed with the work you've done
And love isn't love if you didn't hurt someone
Your son says, "Hi dad."
Your dad says, "Whats up?"
And me, I wanna thank you, but I won't, I'll just say, "Good luck."
Im in tears. Slug spits straight from the heart. This song hits home for me

Fabian Roland I totally relate man. Hearing this song provide a sort of clarity in not trying to be anything else but the best man you can be. Good comment 🤙
Love this track... especially after I became a Dad to a little boy, who's my best friend...Thanks for listening... Happy Fathers Day!
As a father, this song hits me deep.
will always be one of my favorite tracks
Learning how others deal with life through music, creativity and art. Isnt just about $. It's about the message and touching who listens to it in a good way. Innovate and create to "BE" the change the world needs instead of effecting people negatively.
This is the kind of music with ideas to help the world instead of incouraging violence or ignorance. This Dude has it right, by learning from being wrong in the past. Hope he keeps doing what he did here. I see, it could help so many people if they can relate like I have.👍
Damn this is so relatable… I’m so glad we got this music
This song takes me to a place from my past from my parents were I will work so hard for my marriage and my daughters
My son is my best friend 💯🙏
The first verse is too his son second verse is too his dad the third verse is to himself just telling the people who don't know
Dam I never would have realized who the second verse was for I knew the first and 3rd but the 2nd had me stuck thanks mane.
***** thanks. I knew 1 and 2 and suspected that 3 was him but its nice to know for sure.
Jake Gallagher "Your little man just wants you to listen now" kinda hard to catch at first.
he says his own name in the third verse lol
EyePatch Gamer there was a Time where you had to figure that out by listening to the music. Kids want shit handed to em nowadays
I used to always skip this song when it came on shuffle but rn i just listened to it focusing on the lyrics and almost cried.
Hope we'd actually talk more, dad. Im always here and i hope you'd actually share your problems with me
Played this cd on repeat years ago
Never got boring
Atmosphere is a dope dude... Flip that beat bro..
I wanna share this song to my dad tell him look I know you wanted the best for me. Now I got a little one, his words make me ache for how much I want my son to grow up to be the best he could be always be there for him. Really hits
Hardest personal diss ever.
Stories of my life. Love my sons ❤. I'll see you soon.
Im a born metalhead but more than 10 years ago, one of my hip-hopper friend was listening this song and I caught myself really touched. These lyrics got to my bones. I started listen Atmosphere. I like his emotinal life-smelled lyrics and even these beats haha. Hip-hop style is far from me but sometimes when i got tired by gringing metal riffs I push Slugs albums into my player for relaxing. And now Im 33 and a divorced father of a 9 yo boy and trying to start a new life. Really actual haha.
What's the violence about.
Why's it in my house?
Even the memories are turned up too loud.
Yeah, I got some issues in my head...
Champagne tears. Happy New Years everyone!
Happy new year. Classic track.
I've listened to atmosphere long enough to understand all these verses.
I love my little man.
2024, still ain’t got old

great song for those guys without a dad trying to be good dads to their sons. at least how it is for me.
3 boys i took in as my own from my now ex-fiancee. i am 1500 miles away but i still call them and want a relationship with them.shit sucks.
EyeDea 84 awwe ): sorry to hear
You're too kind. Thank you.
EyeDea 84 Yourwelcome. I just saw your comment and it really touched me because I know how you feel. I love a little boy as if he's mine.
Yeah, i have a genetic son whom I've never met, I've been in these boy's lives for years. So they know me as dad; their sperm donor was an abusive woman beater who tore his kids down. Sucks right now. I talk to the oldest twice a week.
