Break-Up Week Track #2: Atmosphere “F@ck You Lucy”

Aiight, so day 2 of the break-up has me feeling not quite as friendly as day 1, and quite a bit more pissed off. Therefore, break-up week track #2 is Fuck You Lucy, from Atmosphere’s classic 2002 release “God Loves Ugly.” This track pretty much epitomizes the anger common during a break-up. Click below to listen:
And follow along with the lyrics after the break.
[Verse 1]
She say that she still wants a friendship/
She can’t live her life without me as a friend/
I can’t figure out why I give a damn to what she wants/
I don’t understand the now before the then/
Most of this garbage I write that these people seem to like/
Is about you and how I let you infect my life/
And if they got to know you, I doubt that they would see it/
They’d wonder what I showed you, how you could leave it/
A friend in Chicago said that I should stay persistent/
If I stay around I’m bound to break resistance/
Fuck you Lucy for defining my existence/
Fuck you and your differences/
Ever since I was a young lad with a part-time dad/
It was hard to find happiness inside of what I had/
I studied my mother, I digested her pain/
And vowed no women on my path would have to walk the same/
Travel like sound across the fate ladder/
I travel with spoon to mix this cake batter/
And I travel with feel, so I can deal with touch/
It’s like that, thank you very much, fuck you very much!/
[Chorus]
And everyone in his life would mistake it as love
Everyone in his life would mistake it as love
[Verse 2]
Fuck the ‘what happened?’ I got stuck/
They can peel pieces of me off the grill of her truck/
Used to walk with luck, used to hold her hand/
Fell behind and played the role of a slower man/
I want to stand on top of this mountain and yell/
I want to wake up and break up this lake of hell/
I feel like a bitch for letting the sheet twist me up/
The last starfighter was wounded, time to give it up/
On a pick it up mission, kept it bitter/
Gettin’ in a million memories just to forget her/
The difficulty in keeping emotions controlled/
Cookies for the road, took me by the soul/
Hunger for the drama, hunger for the nurture/
Gonna take it further, the hurt feels like murder/
Interpret the eyes, read the lines on her face/
The sunshine is fake - how much time did I waste?/
Fuck you Lucy for leaving me/
Fuck you Lucy for not needing me/
I wanna say fuck you because I still love you/
No, I’m not okay, and I don’t know what to do/
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
Do I sound mad? Well I guess I’m a little pissed/
Every action has a point, five points make a fist/
You close em’, you swing em’, it’s hurts when it hits/
And the truth can be a bitch, but if the boot fits/
I got an idea - You should get a tattoo that says warning/
That’s all, just a warning/
So the potential victim can take a left and save breath/
And avoid you, sober and upset in the morning/
I wanna scream, ‘Fuck you Lucy!’/
But the problem is I love you Lucy/
So instead I’ma finish my drink and have another/
While you think about how you used to be my lover/
[Chorus]
