Atmosphere - Bird Sings Why The Caged I Know Lyrics

What's she thinking?!

one of my favorite beats of all time.

It's the bird, it must have been the bird
Disgusting critter, it must, we should have known better to trust This disease infested ball of lust and carnage Piece of garbage with wings and she has the guts to sing Get the bird, catch her, shoot her, I don't care
Get the bird, bring her down to the ground from out the air Gotta tear her apart, let me at her first Sink her to the level of the rest of us that inhabit the earth What's she thinking? Does she really believe That she's above the creatures that work the dirt and the streets? See her up in the tree, looking down at you and me Like she's chosen over those who walk around on two feet The bird, the melodies she play, the music she make Rubbing our faces in the feces of the daybreak Trying to remind us, it's time to awake
Antagonizing and instigating my hate The chirps, I turn them into screams
My feathered friend's end will justify the means Disturbed, I'll grab her by her beak And swing her in circles until she's too dizzy to speak Well I'll shake her from her branch, tear apart her nest Break her skinny legs and fry her eggs up for breakfast (She's a snake that can fly) She's just food for the fleas She thinks she's better then me just because she's free? I'll shake her from her branch, tear apart her nest
Break her skinny legs and fry her eggs up for breakfast (She's a snake that can fly) She's just food for the fleas
She thinks she's better then me just because she's free? My beautiful bird has gone away

I’ve listened to a lot of atmosphere for a lot years and just heard this song about 3 months ago... I love that I can still can discover amazing fucking music...and a lot of slug and ants music gives me chills almost as much as EYEDEAs poetry bust shit is great and I love it...

2019 🤟🏽

how did i not hear this in highschool?

Fuck you Lucy for not needing me

Fuck. I'm old

Every thing i see.

She thinks she's better than me?! Just because she's "free"?!

Does any one know what the ladys saying in french

French for “Look at the adorable snake. Do you bite, Mr. Snake? Hello!” The narrator is describing you (perhaps as a young bird) naïvely approaching a snake, which bites you in greeting.

I wonder why this is on Punk O Rama? It's reminiscent of early Eminem tracks like Kim or his 90's freestyles in my opinion but the raw intensity he emotes just gets me. I don't know how to interpret this song though; is it a breakup song, revenge song or hate speech song about a bitch.

For me, it's about an instict to destroy something beautiful. Envy.

First Atmosphere song I ever heard in 2003 still jamming in 2018

One of my favourite songs off the album..gives me chills

Your conciousness provides the means for suffering indefiniatly

Only you can prevent forest fire let hate burn its way to completion so the maze is easier to navigate

Im fine

Lollike lmao arnt we all?

Lol here have a like

I wont explain jackshit

Fixed it another day fucker

Neat shit honestly

I want to just listen to dude yelling on loop

Yall ever go crazy

It musta been the bird.....

You're not alone

Are you by chance part of the rhymesayers Facebook group?
If you're not.. reply with some info and I'll add you

It's a great group of cats who understand what it's like to just need to vent

thinking about this comment every time i put on sluggo

every single moment of everyday and every single moment that once was, currently is, and will one day be...Every single moment in existence (eternity/infinity/paradox?????) MY existence, YOUR existence, EVERY SINGLE MOMENT of existence contains within it absolute, pure, infinite, chaotic insanity. Its the fear of this reality, the aversion to it, that can cause a feeling of unsteadiness or even absolute hysteria…. but realizing it is a natural, even necessary experience to embrace with rock solid grounding of the soul/moment..the very opposite of insanity(sanity) will begin to manifest everywhere, in every moment as well, with a perfectly balanced relationship with its polar (insanity) which we just paradoxically came to recognize is the very source of sanity. so yeaha im tapped af bro

Thats new

Talk about painting a pic with words he must of been hung over when he wrote this.

Fuck you lucy

It's the bird, it must have been the bird
Disgusting critter, it must
We should have known better then to trust
This disease infested ball of lust and carnage
Piece of garbage with wings and she has the guts to sing
Get the bird, catch her shoot her, I dont care
Get the bird, bring her down to the ground from out the air
Gotta tear her apart, let me at her first
Sink her to the level of the rest of us that inherit the earth

What's she thinking? does she really believe
That shes above the creatures that work the dirt and the streets
See her up in the tree, looking down at you and me
Like she's chosen over those who walk around on two feet
The bird, the melodys she play
The music she make, rubbing our faces in the feces of the daybreak
Trying to remind us, its time to awake
Antaganizing and instigating my hate
The chirps, I turn them into screams
My feathered friends end will justity the means
Disturbed, I'll grab her by her beak
And swing her in circles untill she's too dizzy to speak

Well I'll shake her from her branch, tear apart her nest
Break her skinny legs and fry her eggs up for breakfast
(she's a snake that can fly) she's just food for the fleas
She thinks she's better then me just because she's free?
I'll shake her from her branch, tear apart her nest
Break her skinny legs and fry her eggs up for breakfast
(she's a snake that can fly) she's just food for the fleas

My beautiful bird has gone away [x12]

You're a snake that could fly. You're just food the fleas.

Thank you Atmosphere, thank u Slug for making your music. Real shit. Underground is where it's at. You'd music means so much to so many people. I would stab someone in the neck with a butter knife to see Atmosphere live. thanks for posting

You should be listening to Season of da Siccness then. Brotha Lynch Hung, X Raided, Tall can, Sicx, Black Market Records.

Slug you are my favorite no question.

ficking oooollllddddd school

fuuuuuck...thats all i can say

He should get tech 9 or swizzy rap 8 bars on this track and re release it.

+Landon Stainbrook awesome...fuck that guu

I've always wanted to hear a track with slug n tech together. it would b soooo Fuckin epic. But not on this track. It's perfect the way it is. One of my favorite Atmosphere tracks

christian Sykes I've listened to tech n9ne for years, love him, love slug, but I don't know if they should do a track together... kinda different genres

christian Sykes

Ya and ruin the song

FUCKIN GENIUS BRO YOU NEED TO BE A GODAMN PRODUCER

Wish I could thumbs down this twice

Where's the singing from at the end??? Trying to find the sample...

ive always wondered too

I'm pretty sure that's POS on the screams. Just sayin'

Evan Marcy maybe

Sean haecock from American head charge

@ Brianna sears lucy was never a person i always thought she was real person i found a interview where he talks about lucy being all bad things in his life he let go of

no it was his cat that died

I still to this day have not seen him perform live. This song takes me back.

dude .... thats so fuckin awsome

thats the coolest lesson i ever heard about

I this song is about falldown carpet crawling crumb eating snitch rat goofs

she's a snake that could fly.

Fuck Bitches

Slug gave me this album for free. Me and my friends hung outside his show cause we were underage in winter. He was so cool ....he also freestyled with us,....it's one of my best memories of being a teenager. Nelson BC, Canada ....2003 or so.

P.O.S screaming at the end made an already dope track massive!

by now it's the bird and her eggs that were fried up for breakfast

whateva

this my shit

Has gone awaaaaaay!

this disease infested ball of lust and carnage

Fuck yes! only atmosphere would use a sample from a song by Janis Joplin!

Who's the one fucking person that dislikes this i mean really?

P.O.S is the one screaming I believe

best rapper alive!

People need to stop leistening to lil wayne and hear REAL RAP, SLUG FOREVER

Fantastic song, I love these guys!

P.S.... Fuck birds.

Slug is beast. This is underground at it's finest

I know why the caged bird sings :p

@XiuTheFeared no.

@MusicDo0d P.O.S

I hate birds. But I like turtles

Doper then dope bro

I know why the caged bird sings.

@LoonieBin regard le serpent mignon, morts tu le serpent salut, means look at the cute snake, kill the snake, goodbye.

this beat brings the boom and the bap, not really into the screaming at the end though, but nonetheless dope track, Slug and Ant in my opinion are right up there with the hip hop duo greats

1 person's name starts with the letter 's'

ah the true world at its nicest

i should sing this song to my ex

@twrestle100 What the fuck? He's just talking about jealousy in general.

@IronDrummer123 That ain't Slug screaming

i love this song, great post man
