Fuck You
Green Cee-Lo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That reach plenty of children
In neglected homes
Follow me to the land where
The dead will roam
If you listen it - welcome
To my sect of souls
I bless the flows within -
Yes I am the reverend
High on adrenaline the silence is deafening
I'm higher than the highest
Of all the mountains and I'm here to turn
Necks into geyser fountains yES! I AM HIM!
The monster, the beast through the speakers
That feeds on beats
And he feeds on the children
And feeds on the hatred
And stabs till they scream
In their hideous nature yES! I AM HIM!
In all black got your baby mama in
The trunk with a ball gag
Claw pull the eyes out
Cracked her with a ball bat
I wonder if the bitch still
Thinks that she's all that
I'm pissed off at the fucking world
So I don't give a fuck no more
Look bitch I don't fucking know you
I ain't one of these dudes that
You can fucking go to
When your boyfriend makes you feel
Bad and you're crying
I'm the dude that's sick and violent
I'm the dude that sit's in
Silence sharpening a steak knife
Listening to primus
And I don't play well with the other kids
Sitting in my sandbox
Plotting on the government
Staring at my classmates
Blood coming from my wrists
All the girls saying yo
"that kid's fucking sick"
Now I'm 28 with a knife I'm lodging
In the neck of the chick
That said I'm biting Hopsin
Cause my eyes are white and
Askin am I a psycho?
So I stabbed her twice and put
My eye on the knife hole
As I look inside and seen
Her heart stop beating and I stuck in the
Straw to beginning feeding, ah!
It's for my motherfucking rejects
My motherfucking outcasts you know
When the whole world seem to be against you
And you got nothing left inside of you
Just take your two middle fingers
And put them motherfuckers up in the air
And you tell them bitches "Fuck you!"
The song "Fuck You!" by Green Cee-Lo is a sharp retort to a former lover who left him for a wealthier man. The lyrics are bursting with resentment and bitterness towards the girl who he once loved. The opening lines "See you driving 'round town with the girl I love and I'm like, fuck you" express his angst over seeing his ex-girlfriend with another man while he is left with nothing. He is still haunted by the memories of the times when they were together, but he recognizes that his love for her was not returned in equal measure.
The theme of money plays a significant role in the song. He is aware that if he had been richer, things would have gone differently between them. He is frustrated that he has to compete with a man who can offer her material possessions that he cannot. The lyric "Yeah, I'm sorry, I can't afford a Ferrari, but that don't mean I can't get you there" highlights his emotional turmoil as he struggles to come to terms with his loss.
In conclusion, the song "Fuck You!" is an expletive-laden, fun, and empowering song about unrequited love and overcoming loss. Green Cee-Lo's clever and sardonic lyrics resonate with anyone who has ever been left behind by someone they loved.

See you driving 'round town
With the girl I love and I'm like
Fuck you
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
I see you driving around town with my ex-girlfriend and I'm upset about it. Fuck you.
I guess the change in my pocket
Wasn't enough, I'm like
Fuck you
And forget her too
I guess the money that I have isn't enough for you and you left me because of it. Fuck you and forget you.
Said, if I was richer
I'd still be with ya
Ha, oh ain't that some ssh
(Ain't that some ssh)
And although there's pain in my chest
I still wish you the best with a
Fuck you
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Even if I was rich, you would still want more from me. Although it hurts, I still wish you the best. Fuck you.
Yeah I'm sorry, I can't afford a Ferrari
But that don't mean I can't get you there
I guess he's an X-box, and I'm more Atari
But the way you play your game ain't fair
I'm sorry I can't afford a luxury car like a Ferrari, but I can still provide for you. You chose someone who has more money like an Xbox over me, who is more like an Atari. However, it's not fair how you toyed with me in this game of love.
I pity the fool that falls in love with you oh
(Oh ssh she's a gold digger)
Well
(Just thought you should know n**a)
Ooh, ooh, oh
I've got some news for you
Yeah go run and tell your little boyfriend
I feel sorry for the next person who falls in love with you because you're a gold digger. Just thought you should know that. Go tell your current boyfriend all about that.
Now I know, that I had to borrow
Beg and steal and lie and cheat
Trying to keep ya, trying to please ya
'Cause being in love with yo ass ain't cheap
I know I had to do whatever it takes to try and keep you satisfied, even if it meant doing questionable things. Loving you is expensive and takes a lot of effort.
Now baby, baby, baby, why'd you wanna wanna hurt me so bad?
(so bad, so bad, so bad)
I tried to tell my mamma but she told me
"This is one for your dad"
(Your dad, your dad, your dad)
Yes she did
Uh, why? Uh, why? Uh
Why lady? Oh, I love you
I still love you, oh
Why did you want to hurt me so badly? I tried to tell my mom about it, but she said that's a problem for my dad. I still love you despite all of this pain you put me through.
