Seems the problem is atomic, but it's microscopic though

from Talib Kweli (Ft. Ab-Soul & Black Thought) – Congregation Lyrics on Rap Genius

The problem (of monatomic gold slaves) is very small and insignificant to most people, but its big enough where you can find it this world. Ab-Soul uses a play on words when he says the problem seems atomic, or extremely small, to most people, but to people like him, it is large enough where you can see it with a microscope, where as if it was atomic you would need something more powerful than a normal microscope such as a light microscope.
