Atmosphere - The Woman With The Tattooed Hands Lyrics

2020 we still jammin this!!!!

Keep coming back to this

I hated everything about "Atmosphere" back in the day, I was all about NWA , EZE and serious gangsta rap. My buddy got me drunk on whiskey and his only request.. "listen to this song 10 times in a row and you will love Atmosphere" so I did and about the 4th time into it I was converted, never looked back, this is real rap

2020 anyone??

I really dont get what this song is about. It sounds like she started fisting herself and he left.... then I look in the comments and see this song made ppl cry . So wtf am I missing pls help lol

@Steven halp

I think it's like he saw deep into a woman, not just her outside and it wasn't about sex anymore, it wasn't simple or innocent. And it tripped him out

Ugh the live version is SO much better

I used to know this woman
Who had the most beautiful tattoos
On the top sides of both of her hands
She was forty-three years old and as far as I know
Had never yet been with a man

It's not that she wasn't attractive
She was beautiful but it was the way that she interacted
She was aggressively passive to the point
Where she would've intimidated any mitt
That ever tried to catch it

On the right hand she had a tattoo of a nude girl
She claimed it is what God resembled
But on the left she had a mirrored image of the same female
And this one she explained looked like the devil

I remember once watching her touch her own breasts
How the tattoos smiled as they stared down her stomach
As if anticipating when they'd be allowed to caress
The sweet flower that they both seemed to hunger
(Sweet flower)

Now maybe I was high but it felt so right
Heaven and Hell both take to this woman's womb
It didn't make sense how she could commence
Touching herself with me wide awake in the same room

But if I've learned anything in my years
(My years)
I learned I no longer believe in surprise
(In surprise)
But what happened next damn near stoled my tears

The tattoos came alive right in front of my eyes
They both slowly stood up and climbed off her hands
And showed me why she never took some time with a man
They climbed deep inside of this woman's garden

She closed her eyes and she gently bit her bottom lip
I stepped I left and I don't regret leaving
And I'll never forget all the things I saw that evening
A glimpse of religion a piece of coming closer
To understanding more about what intrigues me most

I didn't get turned on I just got turned
I wasn't as aroused as I was concerned
For each one of 'em I've hurt and every time I've been burned
I've got a lot to teach but even more to learn

So now I keep my eyes open hoping to take in all I can
About women taking in all she can
And for as long as I breathe I'll save receipt
In my memory for that woman with the tattooed hands

There's good and evil in each individual fire
Identifies needs and feeds our desire
As long as we keep our spirit inspired
She can bite her bottom lip all she wants

There's good and evil in each individual fire
Identifies needs and feeds our desire
As long as we keep our spirit inspired
She can bite her bottom lip all she wants

There's good and evil in each individual fire
Identifies needs and feeds our desire
As long as we keep our spirit inspired
She can bite her bottom lip all she wants
...

Still bumpin in 2019 😎👈👉

THIS IS MUSIC FROM MY GOOD EYEs BEAT BY TUMI

I was a Junior in Highschool when this came out. Now all we have is mumble rap. wtf happened?

It’s crazy how Slugs music can relate to anyone, even a 12 year old like me. All you have to do is time to actually listen to what he has to say!

Maybe im late but what is this song really about, i have a few concepts but still curious for other interpretations, enlighten me

Could be anything from an LSD trip to being with a woman who was traumatized by molestation or rape. He's cryptic it's hard to tell. However it can be whatever you want it to be, that's why people create things.. to inspire conversation and emotion.

Shes always gonna be biting her bottom lip

💓💓

Easily my favorite Atmosphere song, since I was just a lost child in high school trying to make sense of the world. Thank you Slug and Ant for making me feel everything, from when I first discovered you to this day <3

Taylor Engle same

2019 ❤️

Goosebumps and raised hair.

R.I.P Nipsey

And for as long as I breath I’ll save a seat in my memory for that woman with the tattooed hands
2019

Haven't seen him since lucy ford. Cant wait for Atlantic City

What’s the main beat sound like? There’s another song that sounds like it but I can’t put my finger on it. Think it’s by Gangstarr

Some people throw paint on a canvas.

411 dislike this? What you rather here one word syllables so that you can comprehe...im sorry i mean, so that you are able to know what the song is about?

Proof-kurt cobain is the original give it a listen if you see this 😀

David Morgan that’s ducking crazy how did you find this out?

David Morgan oh by the way I know this was sampled by lemmont dozier but I mean the instrumental

캬 맹곡 2019

I always felt like Slug wrote this song just to challenge himself to create an introspective song about a woman masturbating in front of him. And he did a damn good job

2019 still a weekly banger

Bumping it in 2019 & always will!

This man is my inspiration, i can relate to him from glass house, yesterday, little man, Me, the waitress, wooden ships, the whole album of "god gives you lemons paint that shit gold". Listening to all his music his albums. Brought me inspiration to pick up the pin. When my best friend my brotha richie cruz passed on i put "flicker" every line matched me. Slug man if you read tgis thank you for the spirtual connects.

she can bite HER BoTToM LIP ALL she wants;)how do you like that cheri?

5 years after first hearing this song, still have no idea what the hell it means. 5 years after first hearing this song, still love it too bits

This is everything to me. The love I had for atmosphere and the beat of Kurt Kobain by proof. This is everything my childhood could ask for.

I can’t wait!!! Alaska

I actually forgot how great this song is..

good stuff atmo

2019? big ones

This is poetic as fuck

My god.... So glad I know all the lyrics to this beautiful song

Love and need you in my life never stop writing

i just put this on repeat about 10 times and each time it gets deeper inside of me; beautiful doesn't begin to describe it

Me and my cousin were 12 or 13 smoking weed and drinking liquor listening to this shit. We are 29 now ...... recovering drug addicts/alcoholics. Lmao

Certified classic

MINNESOTA TOP 5 IN MUSIC HANDS DOWN! LIKE IF YOU ARE A SKOLDIER!

Bob Dylan, prince, atmosphere, owl city, motion city soundtrack etc.....

Slug and ant will live on for ever

Proof brought me here rip

Hey there are any other people's dick hard right now

Whats this song about?

Listen to it carefully

Fire and Ice , no matter what ur side, it's how you coupe with life

Legit. Impeccable beat, lyrics deep AF. Lil Wayne & Co. should take notes..

Beautiful poetry

This has got to be their best song ever.

"She was aggressively passive"

So... When will this come back? Or do I gotta make it happen?

I used to know this woman who had the most beautiful
tattoos on the top sides of both of her hands
she was forty three years old and as far as I know
had never yet been with a man
its not that she wasn't attractive she was beatiful
but its the way that she interacted
she was aggressively passive to the point where she
would of intimidated any mitt that ever tried to catch her
on the right hand she had a tattoo of a nude girl
she claimed it is what God resembled
but on the left she had a mirrored image of the same female
and this one she explained looked like the devil
I remember once watching her touch her own breasts
how the tattoos smiled as they stared down her stomach
as if anticipating would they be allowed to caress
the sweet flower that they both seemed to hunger (sweet flower)
now maybe I was high but it felt so right
heaven and hell both take to this womans womb
it didn't make sense how she could commence
touching herself with me wide awake in the same room
now if I've learned anything in my years (my years)
I learned I no longer believe in surprise (in surprise)
but what happened next damn near stole my tears
the tattoos came alive right in front of my eyes
they both slowly stood up and climbed off her hands
and showed me why she never took some time with a man

she closed her eyes and she gently bit her bottom lip
I stepped I left and I don't regret leaving
and I'll never forget all the things I saw that evening

to understanding more about what intrigues me most
I didn't get turned on I just got turned
I wasn't as aroused as I was concerned
for each one of em I've hurt
and every time I've been burned
I've got a lot to teach but even more to learn
so now I keep my eyes open hoping to take in all I can
about Woman taking in all she can
and for as long as I breath i'll save a seat in my memory
for that woman with the tattooed hands

[chorus: repeat 5x till song fades]
There's good and evil in each individual fire
identifies needs and feeds our desires
as long as we keep our spirit inspired
she can bite her bottom lip all she wants

UndeadxMistress thank you

thank you for these full lyrics; so beautiful

BIG PROOF

I feel like this song is so much deeper than I hear it as

i gotta lot to teach but even more to learn

Saw Sluggo preform this at First Ave back in the day. Probably the most intense thing I have ever witnessed.

Purebread🤘🤘

Great song hope your listening buddy

They don't make music like this anymore

They do, you just have to see through the noise...

rip proof

can someone make this a video plz

I have loved this song for exactly 15 years. Will never get tired of hearing this!

One time my now ex-chick and I were smoking a blunt while driving across town and this song came on. It was on a mix I had made. After the song's end she said "that was such a beautiful song," I looked over and she was wiping tears off her face. Even if I didn't like this song I'd have to respect the hell out of it (as well as slug) after that.

Imtalking Toyou It's the best when you're smoking herb and atmosphere comes on

I think its best when U dont Smoke Ur Blunt while driving.

sebastian natsee lol

Nothing like a good fisting story to bring out the feels

Memory lane memory lane

I wish atmosphere would come to Reno

By far my favorite atmosphere song ever!

I get the fucking chills every time I listen to this song and I love it

Iwas locked up in a group home and me and my art teacher had one thing in common which was our love for underground hip-hop she said ishould listen to it idid n fell in love..

Now talk about bars

even if atmosphere isnt ur kinda style u still gotta appreciate his music....👍

brandon ohara atmosphere isn’t a person, Slug is. Atmosphere is Slug + DJ Ant.

one of my fav songs been listening to slug since 03 best stuff I've Hurd luv him👏❤❤

I first heard this in 2009 when I was a sophmore in high school. I'm 25 years old now and i got the sudden urge to listen to Atmosphere. Here I am, playing it every morning on my way to work. This song has been on repeat on spotify and I of course, rapping along and picturing the story he's telling.

artyoucanhear SAME SAME OMG

Slug and ant are in their prime here one of my favourite atmosphere songs. Was a little disappointed by the fishing blues album

I just got done listening to the new Migos song and then I came to this and the difference between the two artists is amazing to look at

Im not big into hip hop but this is the stuff I listen too, stuff from there heart. I just recently discovered atmosphere and i cant stop listening, there isn't a song I don't like. I just picked up the vinyl edition of "you cant imagine how much fun we're having" yesterday and its incredible

Whose listening to this in 2017?

joey fournier 2018 baby

2018/2019 lol

how the world around me speaks so clearly. prayer every now and then. I know she gun hear me .no the future isn't promised but gotta ball till I fall . can I be honest . light up the night brighter then the sirens and the violence. skateboard long hair low eyelids I pissedoff the haters and fed thehomless self made made for maken something from music poetry personality and art . fully sedated . Incorperated now the people can all put in there part. fame and glory or the same as the soldiers came before me tradin war stories in thugsansion pass the brandy

A yo captain? I found another one yo! 87.9.

as a matter of fact, I find most of his music extremely relatable.

I find this so relatable.

sound like tupac living in pain

For each one of them I've hurt and every time I've been burned,
I've got a lot to teach but even more to learn... Def one of my favorite lines from Slug.
And just throwing this out there... There's nothing sexier than seeing that cute girl you're eying bite that corner of her bottom lip.

this is poetry! <3

Real underground rap right here before soundcloud rappers started flooding the underground with there trash.

'i wasnt as aroused as i was concerned..'
