[Verse 1: Macklemore]
|
Return of the Mack - get up
|
What it is, what it does, what it is, what it isnĄŻt
|
Looking for a better way to get up out of bed
|
Instead of getting on the internet and checking a new hit
|
We get up, fresh out, pimp strut walking
|
Little bit of humble, little bit of cautious
|
Somewhere between like, Rocky and Cosby, Sweater Gang
|
Nope, Nope. yĄŻall canĄŻt copy that
|
Bad, moonwalkin', This here, is our party
|
My posse's been on broadway, and we did it our way
|
Grown music
|
I shed my skin and put my bones into everything I record to it
|
And yet IĄŻm on
|
Let that stage light go and shine on down
|
Got the Bob Barker suit game and Plinko in my style
|
Money
|
Stay on my craft and stick around for those pounds
|
But I do that to pass the torch and put on for my town
|
Trust me, on my I-N-D-E-P-E-N-D-E-N-T shit hustling
|
Chasing dreams since I was 14
|
With the 4 track, bussing
|
Halfway cross that city with the backpack, fat cat, crush shit
|
Labels out here, nah they canĄŻt tell me nothing
|
We give it to the people, spread it across the country
|
Labels out here, nah they canĄŻt tell me nothing
|
We give it to the people, spread it across the country
|
|
[Hook x2 Ray Dalton]
|
And then we go back, this is the moment
|
Tonight is the night, weĄŻll fight till itĄŻs over
|
So we put our hands up like the ceiling canĄŻt hold us
|
Like the ceiling canĄŻt hold us
|
|
[Verse 2: Macklemore]
|
Now, can I kick it? Thank you
|
Yeah IĄŻm so damn grateful
|
I grew up really wanting gold fronts
|
But thatĄŻs what you get when Wu-Tang raised you
|
YĄŻall canĄŻt stop me, I go hard like I've got an 808 in my heart beat
|
And IĄŻm eating at the beat
|
Like you gave a little speed to a great white shark on shark week
|
(Why? Time to go off. Gone)? Deuces, goodbye
|
I've got a world to see;
|
And my girl, She wanna see Rome
|
Caesar'll make you a believer
|
Nah, I never ever did it for a throne
|
That validation comes
|
So I'm giving it back to the people now
|
Sing that song and it goes like...
|
Raise those hands, this is our party
|
We came here to live life like nobody was watching
|
I got my city right behind me;
|
If I fall they got me
|
Learn from that failure, gain humility
|
Then we keep marching, I said
|
|
[Hook x2 Ray Dalton]
|
|
[Bridge]
|
And all my people say'
|
"Na na NAna na naNA na"
|
