And they say Don't forget where you come from |
| [00:02.95] |
Don't die holding on to your words |
| [00:05.31] |
Cause you know you got a whole world to change |
| [00:08.29] |
But understand who you got to change first |
| [00:10.81] |
And I was like Fuck that humility bust back |
| [00:13.62] |
I was just a little shorty hoping that I could find a bum to buy a 40 for me |
| [00:20.21] |
And have enough for a bud sack |
| [00:22.17] |
Yeah and I dance on that instrumental |
| [00:24.65] |
Unorthodox like Basquiat with the pencil |
| [00:27.00] |
Give me a microphone and a beat box I could vent to |
| [00:29.72] |
Music the only medium that I could find myself through |
| [00:32.39] |
Recluse sipping on some lean I would let loose |
| [00:35.27] |
Looking in the mirror, watching myself lose |
| [00:37.57] |
Cleaned up in 08 got a job making barely minimum wage |
| [00:41.21] |
To get into that page |
| [00:42.67] |
Hit the road with RL performing in front of 8 people |
| [00:46.25] |
And that shit will check your ego |
| [00:48.47] |
About around that time I'm watching that EP go |
| [00:50.63] |
From nothing to getting us booked around the country |
| [00:53.20] |
I know no limits life can change in an instant |
| [00:55.87] |
8 People turn into sold out shows in a minute |
| [00:58.54] |
And I'm watching my pops in the back row grinning |
| [01:01.25] |
With his glass up to my mom toasting this Guinness |
| [01:04.38] |
And we on (we on) |
| [01:06.08] |
Good music it lies in the ambiance |
| [01:09.35] |
When we leave here |
| [01:10.41] |
Will these words live on |
| [01:11.62] |
Till then we keep on making the songs |
| [01:14.27] |
So put them up up up up up (so high) |
| [01:35.92] |
I remember that Freshman edition |
| [01:38.22] |
Last year thinking to myself like |
| [01:40.08] |
Yah nah I won't win it yet |
| [01:41.88] |
Probably won't get it but I'm gonna give it everything |
| [01:44.50] |
Play my position |
| [01:45.47] |
The next 11 months I gave it all everything I had in me |
| [01:48.89] |
Left blood sweat tears in every god damn city |
| [01:51.37] |
No label no deal no publicist, indie |
| [01:54.22] |
Just music that connected and fans that rode with me |
| [01:56.79] |
Throw me a gold mine and a co-sign |
| [01:59.51] |
While you're riding a couple dope rides |
| [02:01.17] |
2 women both dimes |
| [02:02.38] |
Not gonna lie that shit sounds so nice |
| [02:04.88] |
But I got creative control and my souls mine |
| [02:07.96] |
I wouldn't trade it maybe I'm crazy |
| [02:09.77] |
I put on for my city |
| [02:11.02] |
Seattle that raised me |
| [02:12.38] |
Rule 4080 it's really not changing |
| [02:15.04] |
Now a days make good music, the people are your label |
| [02:17.81] |
So put them up up up up up (so high) |
| [02:43.54] |
Oh my god feels like a victory lap |
| [02:48.17] |
|
| [02:56.20] |
Can I have that moment |
| [02:58.30] |
Can I talk my shit |
| [03:00.01] |
And they say Don't forget where you come from |
| [03:02.48] |
Don't die holding on to your words |
| [03:04.64] |
Cause you know you got a whole world to change |
| [03:07.85] |
But understand who you got to change first" |
| [03:10.12] |
Put them up up up up up |
| [03:13.15] |
Up up up up up |
| [03:16.72] |
Up up up up up |
| [03:17.52] |
Macklemore Ryan Lewis Seattle |
| [03:20.73] |
Put them up up up up up |
| [03:23.35] |
Up up up up up (so high) |
