Atmosphere - Happy Mess Lyrics






Remember that time that I made you so mad
Last week right ha ha you know that
It's not like it's all that rare
So put it here and let me cherish the embarrassment

I realize I've been a dickhead yes
And I respect how you question your investments
I take the blame but it ain't to be impressive
It feels like a cop out to label it lessons

I've been though the rain
But I've put other people through a hurricane
Just to work the game
Sometimes I swim through so much shame
I think my little man's blessed that he didn't get my last name

And here you are right in front of me
Offering it all like tell me what you want from me
I wanna love you today and forever
Let me clear my throat and rub my wings together

It goes: I'm not perfect but I'm this that and this
My hands are dirty and I'm this that and this
You've been searching for this that and this
Let's break the surface and make a little happy mess

I'm not perfect but I'm this that and this
My hands are dirty and I'm this that and this
You've been searching for this that and this
Let's break the surface and make a little happy mess

Woo girl, you're the most beautiful thing I've seen
Enticing, exciting
Even the sound of your voice gotta nice ring
You seem like the type that might help me tighten up my pipe dreams

We can keep digging through this dirt
We team up, you and I against the universe
Think about it. What you say to yourself?
You can wear my cape and I can play with your belt

The truth is there now
Stand here with me, look into that mirror now
And tell me you don't see the same image
Gonna be a brand name day once the rain is finished

It goes: I'm not perfect but I'm this that and this
My hands are dirty and I'm this that and this
You've been searching for this that and this
Let's break the surface and make a little happy mess

I'm not perfect but I'm this that and this
My hands are dirty and I'm this that and this
You've been searching for this that and this
Let's break the surface and make a little happy mess

I can't believe she got me on a ball and chain
It's not a complaint
I appreciate it
For all the dumb mistakes I make
I'm surprised baby girl ain't threw me away

I never meant to hurt no one
I just want to stay productive 'til the work is done
I dance to a certain drum
But when I fell off beat you didn't turn and run
No

You see me at my lowest moments
You gave me sight when I had broken focus
With a smile that opens up like a rose does
Even when it all felt so fucking hopeless

And here you are, right in front of me
Offering it all like "Tell me what you want from me"
I want to thank you today and forever
Let's make a little happy mess together
You know

It goes: I'm not perfect but I'm this that and this
My hands are dirty and I'm this that and this
You've been searching for this that and this
Let's break the surface and make a little happy mess

I'm not perfect but I'm this that and this
My hands are dirty and I'm this that and this
You've been searching for this that and this
Let's break the surface and make a little happy mess

Right now come on
Let's break upstairs
Right now come on

    207 trolls gave this a thumbs down as they can't comprehend what real music is. They're too busy sucking off Mily Cyrus as her and her cronies try to kill of real music and real people. Not happening, especially with the empire Slug had built with Rhymesayers

  67. D.... L....

    This song explains my so deeply, the ones we tend to love just can't love us all like we love them.Nathaniel LaFalier - Native Pride!!!!!

  68. T.... P....

    This is one of my songs dedicated to my boi.

    T.... P....

    Aye hit up Franklin for me I havnt heard from him 😂😂

  69. R.... ....

    Thanks for putting the album/mixtape name in the description,  I love Atmosphere and have been listening for years, yet i am still finding new stuff pretty much daily.  First time ive heard this song and it is incredible. 

  70. S.... C....

    god damn this song makes me feel...

  71. D.... P....

    so good live. so good always. works the soul.

  72. L.... ....

    Is Slug rich? No. Wealthy & comfortable maybe, ya. But he's no Jay-Z & even when he was broke we still all listened to what he had to say. Quit listening to his music if you can`t understand the message.

  73. S.... ....

    beautiful

  74. m.... ....

    My girlfriend used to play this song everyday. She passed away earlier this year it makes me sad to listen to but at the same time it brings a lot of positive memories. Slug is one hell of a man and I got ahold of him on twitter and he wrote a little something for her after she passed. This man is a class act,

    m.... ....

    mostwanted1806 yea it's been four years, you're probably mended, but I feel your pain man. Chick who throws this song on is one in a billion. I wish she was still here for you man.

    m.... ....

    My condolences.

    m.... ....

    Im so sorry for your loss. My best friend died in July 2019. I miss her everyday - especially her laugh. She was truly a masterpiece

  75. E.... C....

    na. just stfu.

  76. D.... ....

    Wrong, sucka

  77. s.... ....

    I'm sorry, but that is just complete bullshit.

  78. J.... E....

    Every real MC has started from the bottom. I'm sure Slug was broke at one time.

  79. B.... L....

    Thanks for putting up the song man, but I just gotta say you come off as a total fucking douche. Work on that

  80. Z.... ....

    If Slug, not atmosphere,this is the name of the group, yes shocking i know, hed laugh at you for being a smug little bitch and taking something on the internet to heart.

  81. Z.... ....

    ACTUALLY, in todays society, you sir are wrong. jussssayin'

  82. M.... ....

    Hey I'm not defending the idiot you insulted but just because you're broke doesn't mean you don't have a voice.

  83. F.... N....

    I dedicate this song to my ex girl.
    But then again, so does everyone else probably.

  84. O.... H....

    Not always threes:
    "Life, love, stress, and setbacks..."

  85. P.... P....

    I think its cool how his voice cracks alot during this song, you can tell theres much emotion.

  86. A.... M....

    i would have checked it out if you would have left out the 'i make real hip-hop' its like saying everyone else is not as good as you and atmosphere is one of the few who i have found who make music with great lyrics

  87. A.... M....

    man i love what slug does with his songs

  88. S.... S....

    Man Dont Be Hating On Music And The Artist, If You Dont Like It Please Keep Shit To Yourself No Need To Be Rasict To The World If You Are Thats You But Keep It To Yourself Man Come On Now.

  89. x.... ....

    Atmosphere is a group.

  90. t.... b....

    ive been waiting

  91. b.... b....

    how in the fuck could n e 1 dislike an atmosphere song?
    this man is the realest artist on this fucking planet.

  92. M.... S....

    my jammm (':

  93. M.... h....

    If atmosphere saw your comment he would instantly call you an idiot, being rich or poor has nothing to do with intelligence..

  94. D.... S....

    why'd you click on the video then you stupid fuck?

  95. D.... S....

    fool thinks by hatin he can make himself feel somewhat better about his fucked up life.
