[0-1:59.100] Macklemore and Ryan Lewis-LIFE IS CINEMA
[00:02.280][Verse 1]
[00:07.960] I don't know why
[00:09.490] But it's like I can't stay quiet
[00:12.700] This is my voice
[00:14.390] I can't let it die inside me
[00:16.460] See I'll be scared if there wasn't a riot
[00:19.000] Pushing and pulling, grabbing some hair
[00:23.020] Puking and fucking up the sidewalk
[00:24.630] This battle makes it interesting
[00:27.050] I abide desires
[00:28.560] Like a dog pissing on the hydrant
[00:30.890] Just to spite the fire
[00:32.470] It's not to be taken lightly
[00:34.160] The page is a set of eyelids
[00:35.800] The booth is an instrument that God created
[00:37.120] To record us trying to find him
[00:40.710] But don't let the word throw you off
[00:42.600] Religion and spirit are two different plots
[00:44.430] Just know that it's bigger than me and my ego
[00:47.110] When I'm flyin
[00:48.210] Take me higher
[00:49.330] I've got something to pray for
[00:50.740] Please leave me when I'm guided
[00:52.610] Who said that "Life is cinema"?
[00:54.320] This is epic, be present
[00:55.410] I'm right here
[00:57.290]
[00:57.560] Selfish, selfish, selfish me, yeah, me, yeah
[00:59.070] Girlfriend, break-up, new one, one-night stand, cheat, cheat, repeat that
[01:04.970] Drug use, clean up, drug use, drug use, clean up, drug use, rehab
[01:09.320] Fuck you, I suck dude, self-loathing, self-esteem, ego, then me again
[01:13.530] Put a soundtrack right in the middle
[01:14.930] A neverending quest to try and get fans
[01:16.830] There you have the beginning, a middle and a really shitty end
[01:18.940] Nah, give me a break through, can I get a montage, come on I need that
[01:25.850] Humble me, give me a conflict, a hardship, let me break through this cement
[01:29.780] They're gonna be so disappointed when they roll the credits and
[01:33.460] I realize that my movie sucked and I was the only one that could edit it
[01:37.040] Well the course, the chain of events, that would be the evidence, some say it's coincidence
[01:41.590] I say I found something greater than myself and started accepting it
[01:45.780] And I can see, feel, taste and smell again
[01:49.340] And I'm the only one with the hammer to break this shell I'm in
[01:52.480] It's gonna take me crackin' this mirror to finally be myself again
[01:56.930] Met my potential a long time ago and I'm not stopping til I resemble him
[02:05.890] (I got soul but I'm not a soldier...)
