Atmosphere - Cut You Down Lyrics
[Slug]
My old lady say I'm paranoid
She thinks that I'm not on point
cause I pace around with no purpose
Observant, peek out the curtains
So why's it parked right in front of my yard?
It's been there for the last few minutes
It seems too suspicious
It's gon' be another long night
So set the alarm and the motion lights
Protect my house
That fence ain't enough to keep the riffraff out
Somebody gon' test
I'm breaking out in a sweat
It make the hair on my arms all stand up tall
I'm simple, I want some peace
from all the criminals, thugs and thieves
And I ain't tryna involve police
cause I don't trust any government employees
I believe everybody's a threat
You better take it down to the next doorstep
But if you wan' doubt and pop some
I'm sleeping on my couch with a loaded shotgun
[Chorus]
And if you wan' fuck around
I'm gon' cut you down
And if you wan' fuck around
I'm gon' cut you down
And if you wan' fuck around
[Slug]
Shhh, I hear a helicopter
I swear it's out there
Calm down, don't make the wrong move
cause I don't know who that van belongs to
I'm checking over both my shoulders
I bet they got my name in they folders
I'm trying to stay inside
cause it's the only way to hide from the satellites in the sky
Get off my property
Why you stalking me?
And those guys from across the street
better keep they eyes off my wife piece
None of y'all are watching birds
So who's in the alley with binoculars?
Got more detour to steer through
for the sedan in my rearview
I crouch on the floor
cause knocking on my door is an act of war
And if the guy from the bank
wanna come see me, he better drive a tank
I ain't nuts yet, I'm just upset
cause y'all treat me like a suspect
I'm innocent, give me personal space
before I flip the switch and turn up the bass
[Chorus]

Atmosphere Cut You Down Comments
Slug had to have tweaked a bit to write this song. One of his best.
i love atmos and if u research music u will know marley also if u a big oak tree i will cut u down itsbout a nobody gettin bigger den a somebody,
"I ain't trying to involve police cuz I don't trust any government employees" ain't that the truth they all work for the same central bankers anyways they all answer to somebody & it ain't the people. Technically there's more accountability in the criminal world cuz if you fuck up on the streets somebody's gonna punch your ticket but if you got enough money you can buy your way outta trouble in the "legal" world.
this is me. 100%
Thank you Pandora for playing this song on my Pandora channel
That's how I heard it too a couple days ago! I would have never heard it going by what his popular songs are!
blakespower for real though. People who have seen some shit can relate 💯
cool song WHITE PEOPLE ARE OPPRESSED TOO MUCH!
gods gonna cut you down, gods gonna cut you down, gods gonna cut you down, gods gonna cut you down, gods gonna cut you down.......
@Space Urchin Thanks, I didn't know what he was saying. /s
@TheEmbors well he never actually says it in that way. He says "if u wanna fucka around, im gonna cut you down..." I was merely pointing to where the original "cut you down" theme stems from (Johnny Cash). Cuz perhaps people don't understand that Atmosphere is greatly influenced by the man in black.
Im gonna cut you down!!! See you space cowboy...
lol...love it, thats my guy for sure :)
feb 2014, 4 fuckers disliked it
Their punk bitches . Prolly lil wayne fans!
@Nyhmgod my bad you are definitely right, I shouldn't have just assumed ,I just really like Atmosphere but there is different types of musics and some just might not like him, but what's up with the name calling just cause you dont know me or probably will never meet makes you feel safe about name calling would you seriously say that to someone on the street.
@Sara Hlucky mm. you prefer the pop scene made up entirely of poster children and fakes right?
Atmosphan for life!
you're just that much cooler than everyone else.
EPIC love this song
I ain't nuts yet, I'm just upset
cause y'all treat me like a suspect
I'm innocent, give me personal space
before I flip the switch and turn up the bass
Bought this album on Vinyl for a reason, the sound of it..... wish this track woulda been on there....maybe an EP 2 track record out there somewhere? hmmm...
I don't think you know how to use the word "metaphor"...
I'm glad people at my school don't listen to Atmosphere honestly
it's unbelievable how relevant this song is this year with all the NSA bullshit.
Why do they start off farting?. Is this part of the atmosphere? Are they scared or something?
Metaphor? Hes just gonna cut you
It comforts me haha
agreed!
this song just made my day
420 likes =)
I hate how under appericated atmosphere is, along with Aesop rock, while garbage like lil wayne, tyga run rampent , em i the only one with ears or what
Who the fuck is out there writting songs about me?!?
2 Dislikes, -_-
This is my favorite atmosphere album.
Lol cool no dislikes
keeron gill, 8 years later and there's still only 19. That's still 19 idiots though.
just let it be.
This song is beyond relating its scary how real if fits!!!
shhh youll attract haters
ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ
this song is badass i wanna get more into atmosphere but i need song suggegstions
No Dislikes! :) Hell yes!!!
reassuring
the guitar is pro on this too
Small wonder everyone's paranoia....... this song is SO true. I have a neighbor I nicknamed
Shady Gestapo Lady cuz her nose is in my business every freakin' day. I don't trust any
authorities either; I've worked for the Feds, City, and State.....they're ALL corrupt.
I can't blame the guy in this song for being so close to snappin.'
Me too, I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing! LOL!
not scary. incredible*
EXACTLY! Do not trust any freakin' government employees'.......... ipso facto, NO authority
figures,
Everyone says dat. But you must have said it right because this has been the top comment for a LOOOONG time
Thjis is what's happening in the 21st century - paranoia to the ninth degree, but I can't
help agreeing with this this guy in the song.... I worked for all three Systems: Feds, State,
and City. I missed out on County, but boy, am I glad when I look back ! All three are
CORRUPT as sin. I have a neighbor who is a blight to the neighborhood and probably
a neo-nazi. I call her Shady Gestapo Lady. Appropriately put.
Family sign deluxe edition
Atmosphere for the win ^-^
To me, this song is about schizophrenia.
Such an awesome song *_* atmosphere seriously = <3
Could be paranoid because he lost someone he loved, like eyedea
at least that what I get from it
not saying its the same for everyone, just some people i know haha
Many ex drug addicts I know are paranoid about the contacts they made when they were addicted and the fact that drug dealers dont like losing clients
If you watch this video they bug your computer.
She came back better ..... i think. cause they were there.... nevm
@tianikkah its his newborn sons fist that he makes, he nicknamed it the family sign, then named the album after it
@tianikkah its his son
Is that his sons arm?

atmosphere makes me feel proud to be a minnesotan.
@msplayer08 I hear that
it kinda scares me how much i can relate to atmosphere ..
N I G H T M A R E 睡眠
I think that because of how he spits real shit on such a human level its difficult not to relate
And if you wanna fuck around I'm gonna cut you down....Love it.
