Atmosphere - The Things That Hate Us Lyrics
See I come from a time where they didn't put rear view mirrors on passenger sides of vehicles
And this is for those that still drink malt liquor
Put the poison in your body just to pass out quicker
When death calls best believe it's gonna get all emotional
Damn cable TV got me trapped in
Girls actin' dumb and cops beatin' black men
Overfill, overkill, tryin' to deal
Call the toll free and order my some diet pills
Got me looking at the sugar in the Kool-Aid that you made
You need to chase it down with some toothpaste
Still stuck to the simple things yep the struggle in between a couple of krispy kremes
I have to ask if you could pass that half and half to get my coffee back on track
Big ups to all the carbonated hiccups the energy drinks and the suicide big gulps
Gonna find happiness in the fast food
Distract you with these colorful tattoos to cover up the fact that we feel like bad news
[Chorus]
We love the things that hate us
Push snooze again girl I don't want to wake up
America the beautiful that's how she played us
Wasn't that cute it must have been her make up
Trying to grab everything that she gave us
Just take it back in the math on that pay stub
Lookin' at the neighbors like wait up
We love the things that hate us
Pain killers help find some feeling
Crack the vic in half just to break the time sealant
Take it by yourself on the living room carpet
Do a little bump just to clean your apartment
? I've seen your wife she's not the true finest?
I understand why you like to pay them prostitutes
Strip clubs gun shops oh Jesus right next to the liquor store for your convenience
Everybody say ho for the cuervo
You can drive if you promise to be careful
Turn the radio up and light a doobie
And keep acting like life is like a movie
This is for those needles you share because
Those after school TV specials is too square
Cook the coke for your own consumption
? All some joe joe dems? In old school
What's your function
As American as herpes and hot dogs
Got lost between the mustard and the hot sauce
Unprotected sex with that one you just met
You ain't even got all your hep shots yet
[Chorus]

Atmosphere The Things That Hate Us Comments
Still not on Spotify wtf
Spotify sucks
GREAT SONG!!!
Years ago my buddy Andrew and I would always cruise around in my 66’ Mustang coupe (no mirror on the passenger side) bumping this song, hanging around town smoking cigarettes and drinking cold beers on a hot summer day. We were 19/20 years old, not a fuck to give in the world. Damn, if I had a time machine.... good times.
Atmopshere is like smoking. At first you did it just to be cool and make friends, then as you grew up and kept doing it you realized you only did it now because you needed it to remain sane.
I love this guy. This is the guy that got me into hip hop. Slug you have helped me with life. If you've helped at least one person with your music. I think your doing pretty good. Thank you for being real and making great music.
Why am I just now finding this. 100% truth in the song
As American as herpes and hot dogs. Slug is immortal.
Discovered atmosphere when a friends older brother gave us a CD he didn't like. This is back in the Napster days. I have not lived a month without listening to him since that fateful day.
His lyrics give me life. Literally saves me from myself.
Slugs..... been dropping fire since 99
Damn, I quit menthols. But I can't quit you.
A nyone battling addiction instantly identifies
the lyrics should come up sooner than they do, i don't know why so many lyric videos make this mistake
Slug is like an archetypal rapper. Nice flow, smoothness over speed and coherent and cool messages.
Old Jesus next to the liquor store for your convenience. We love the things that hate us.
As American as herpes and hotdogs
I like this song a lot better than any Jayz song
Okay, I love atmosphere, but after reading the comment about him sounding like Jay-Z, I have to agree to an extent. The two lines at 1:33 sound undeniably like Jay-Z. Slug most definitely still has his own style. It's just entertaining.
*awkward laugh*
Lich Lair i refuse to accept it!!
As American as herpes and hot dogs 🤣🤣🤣🤣
If you put anything in your coffee you're weak af bruh
Love it
Man I fucking love you ant and slug best music
Holy shit that the realist song I ever heard
I love the part were slug says the struggle in between a couple of Krispy Kremes, I'd like to ask to pass that half and half to get my coffee back on track. Because I make the donughts at Krispy Kreme
Underrated!
Gotta be one of my favorite songs hands down
"Crack the vic in half just to break the time sealant" .....once again slug you relate with an unconventional verse.....finding a way to correlate the way time passes on opioids. Im battling time sober.....and i know damn well its a losing battle
It's time ceiling. That's the actual saying that he's referring to, justs so you know. Refers to slowing down time.
@Opi FiD try kratom, it saved me. now i can actually live with my adddiction and feel like a human, it´s my medicine.
@Schlomo Goldberg no thanks?
this is who i came up listening to. who molded my style as an artist, who inspired me to write and sing. It's who taught me that putting the stressors and Vexations into lyrics helps to manage them. Big ups to all the Rhymesayers and RIP Eyedea and Viro the Virus.
Poetic Silence, TD AKA PyroPhorIC listen to logic tree of life
as American as herpes and hot dogs
No left rear view!
i❤Sean
I ain't going to hell without my menthols
Hannah Weinstein
Lol
You know you're gonna love this song in the first few seconds!!!
Going to the show at HOB Boston tonight! I really hope this track is on the set list.
Real hip hop.... Period...
honestly i think nicki minaj is better.
thats disgusting even as a joke
pointsofview you must be a millennial. Minaj is garbage along with 97% of her musical generation.
Artien Nadal you are stupid and ignorant there are a ton of amazing rappers that are up and coming and about to take the show that are lyrically killing it. I love atmosphere seen them like 5 times or so but gtfo with that cookie cutter bullshit about how rap is dead. you are the reason it's dead because "real hip hop fans" live in the past and these new dope rappers that can actually rap don't get the attention they deserve. so it goes to the fame goes to the pop club hit rappers
Artien Nadal speaking of period...
dude I hate that this isn't on spotify or itunes anybody knows where I can get a copy of this track?? still loving this track after 4 years of listening to to!!
It's a free album, there is no illegal option really!... just click the little "download Strictly Leakage" button :)
http://www.rhymesayers.com/releases/strictly_leakage
You could just buy the song and/or album.
Gotta miss that shit.
Paying respects to an artist, literally.
I wanna say fuck you
Because i still love you
No, I'm not OK
And I don't know what to do
so real. it makes me cry everytime i hear it.
Mitchell G I definitely agree except for the crying part of it, but that's "Fuck You Lucy"
think ,I'mma break tha replay bottun
What a great song!! Can't find it on itunes. Thanks for the lyrics! Love it!
"Girls actin' dumb and cops beatin' black men"... -Current situation in the U.S.
Bloodyy_Mari and white men
JUST an observation it says
Taken back by the mathe on that paystub.
not take it back.
for example : I was taken back by the way she looked that night.
+Zachary Lyons they are submitted by regular people. go to a-z lyrics see for yourself. I was just trying to help is all if I'm wrong ill live.
Just a thought, maybe he's saying taken aback? Sometimes us old school people are helpful for some shit lol.
http://www.dictionary.com/browse/taken--aback
neil marsh omg you solved an oh so stressful mystery. for that I am eternally grateful
《Jerry》 comment of the year
It would be taken a-back if anything. But i think they are right. Why don't you make a FUCKING lyric vid then sheesh
Damn you Slug you keep me coming back like a crack head #goodmusic
Each time I've seen an Atmosphere show, I've left feeling positive and happy. Fuck all the rest of the baby talk issues below. You're doing it wrong.
Can you make lyrics for TDK-Jones
love this song so much
Used to listen to this as a teenager, kinda bitter sweet that when I sing along now it hits harder to home.
+This Guy Exactly the same
Hahahaha!! Laughing cause it's easier than getting mad
funny im learning his poetry too after knowing him since high school
only now the lyrics have different meanings because im struggling with addiction
this song is genius!
why does he sounds like Jay-Z
Maybe jay z sounds like slug 🐌
@CTric Okay. I have no idea why everyone is being a cunt to you. Maybe the answer is simply: the internet. Anyway, I love atmosphere, and after reading your comment I most definitely agree there are similarities. Especially Slug's delivery of the two lines at 1:33. There's no denying that. I think it's an interesting remark.
Don’t ever say something like that here again.:. That’s just some hardcore blasphemy 👌👎👎💯
Car Kingz You're a fucking idiot.
@Lich Lair sounds nothing like him you stupid fuck
Is this not on Spotify?
No its from a random free album called strictly leakage and no one has it
How does this not have more views? Hits way too close to real life.
Also questioning the 60 dislikes on this vid
Absolute banga!!!!!
"i aint goin to hell without my menthols"
lmfao
7+ years on and still entirely relevant.
word! hell yeah your right
pirate360 9+ years and it's still relevant.
America the beautiful, thats how she played us
someone needs to make a instrumental version the songs instrumental is the best
America! Fuck yea!
Found this song three days ago havnt stopped listening to it yet
Atmosphere is like the only rap I listen to, and whatever else comes on their pandora station
Sounds like a bunch of semantics to me. Its like when i say a freestyle is off the top and in the moment, and other people say it can be written. There is no right definition to any word or phrase in my view. However I do wish there was some generally accepted term that differentiated between 90's style hip hop and the stuff that's coming out today.
Rap is is almost entirely present tense/non reflective. Hip Hop is present and or past/reflective. For example I fuck bitches is present tense and non reflective, while I would fuck this bitch because of her skin or her hair style is reflective there is some person he is referring to.
@christian Sykes no offense but to me you're just drawing lines in the sand
antix is pretty great hands up excellent track
pandora fucking loves feeding people atmosphere huh
they really are pretty nice tho
Slug is half black, jackasses. Why does it matter?
you can drive if you promise to be careful.
I'm drinking malt liquor right now !
Drink MALT LIQUOR, only MALT LIQUOR
😂😂😂😂
GirlsLie7 and it's five in the morning
"I ain't drank a 40 since I became old enough to drink."
Slug raps better that 98% of rappers out there
Who is the 2%?
But that's the greatest thing about the rhymesayers there's no argument over who's the best it's all unified in the idea of expression and there's no wrongful way to go... of course we all fancy one style in particular over another but it stops there with subjective tastes.... and all 'sayers' wanna see there fellow(s) rhyme succeed!
dtownlove10 Murs 😂
Cause he's been doing it for decades, and he's the realest rapper out.
True that!!
yeaa ! ATMOSPHERE GOT IT !
biiig greetz from gud ol germany !
Dude, how come I just found this?
Came by this on a totally unrelated google search. One of the few rap songs that I actually like
Love this beat and slug's the best. Don't care what anyone says
I'm 12, eating a pie, and loving the things that hate us.
This sample is also used in the GZA - Liquid Swords track.
lololololol
thats sooo my fetish, and it totally isnt even pedophelia cause 12 is really old for a frog.
Atmosphere is hip hop!
This song is amazing.
Why isn't this on itunes?!?!
I love America
i brought me here
atmospheres dope
that's one cool frog
Nice vibe dawg
fleas are killing me
I know me too!!! :D
Macklemore x Ryan Lewis Pandora Channel: I love you for taking me to this song :)
I love this song. Same as some other peeps I found it on Pandora, but on a flobots station. Only station I need.
Pandora for me too, but on my Seth Sentry channel.. Fucking awesome selection of music!
thumbs up if you heard this song on macklemore x ryan lewis pandora. lol im probably the only one.
I'm laughing because i finally understand what the hell this song is talking about. It's pretty fucking genius. Lol XD
You say that like some people aren't in love with this song...
Or Atmosphere in general, for that matter.
Stop hating on that girl haha. I think it's dope that she's into this. But i agree that it doesn't matter where you came from or who you are, music is universal.
I am the liquor.
Want a cookie?
im a track and im in love with a 3 minute long song.
im a song and im in love with a 18 year old cat.
I'm Chris Hansen, why don't you have a seat right over there.
my life ha
i fucking love this song too!!
This just simplified my life
Atmosphere rips mackelmore
How does "You're a frog" mean "I hate all french people?" You need to learn the definition of racism.
none of that matters
dude, mercy, mercy, mercy!
classic
