Cover art for Trying To Find A Balance lyrics by Atmosphere

Anybody notice how when slug writes a song about his everyday life such as:"aspiring sociopath","like today" but especially "Always coming back home to you" Slug never portrays himself as a thug or "gangsta" from the streets like a lotta rappers do, and its obvious he hasn't lived the average straight edge side of american life either. the way i see it this is where trying to find a balance comes from and pretty much defines his music as different.

In the days of Kings and Queens I was a jester Treat me like a God, oh they treat me like a leper You see me move back and forth between both I'm trying to find a balance I'm trying to build a balance I might be getting off here but perhaps the days of Kings and Queens is a reference to his high school days (Prom Queens, jocks, kings of school etc.) And Slug was the class clown, see the name "Sad clown bad dub" "I'm trying to build a balance" - either refering to his family/kids or the music genre he calls indie rap

My Interpretation

This song is about other rappers and the music industry. He's sick of the BS other rappers are coming out with hence the "Yeah I got some last words, FUCK ALL OF YA'LL! Stop writin' raps and go play volleyball." The song points out the fact that he loves what he does cause he loves the rhymes not the money or benefits of being a rapper, e.g. Cause my attorney didn't put enough girls on the jury Guilty of droppin' these bombs in the city But I'm innocent, love is the motive that's why you're killin 'em Guilty of settin' my fire in all...
