Macklemore - Victory Lap feat Ryan Lewis текст песни

And they say, don't forget where you come from
Don't die, holding on to your words
Cause you know, that you got a whole world to change
But understand who you gotta change first
And I was like fuck that, humility bust back
I remember the days when nothing but a bus pass
I was just a lil' Shawty just hopin' that I can find a bum to buy a 40 for me and have enough for a bud sack
Yeah, and I dance in that instrumental
unorthodox like Basquiat with the pencil
Give me a microphone and a beat box I can vent to
music the only medium that I can find myself through
Recluse, sipping on some lean, I would let loose
Looking in the mirror, watching myself lose
Cleaned up in 08, got a job making barely minimum wage
to get into that page, hit the road with RL performing in front of 8 People,
and that shit will check your ego
About around that time I'm watching our EP go
from nothing to getting us booked around the country
I know no limits, life can change in an instant
8 People turn into sold out shows in a minute
Now I'm watching my pops in the back row grinning
With his glass up to my mom, toasting his guiness

And we on, we on, good music it lies in the ambience
one day we'll leave here, but these words live on
Till then we keep on making the songs
So put them up up, up, so high
put them up up, up, up so high
put them up up, up, up so high
put them up up, up, up so high
put them up up, up, up so high
put them up up, up, up so high

I remember that freshman edition, last year thinking to myself like yeah

nah I won't win it yet, I prolly won't get it
But I'ma give it everythang, play my position
The next eleven months I gave it all, everything I had in me
Left blood sweat tears in every god damn city
no label, no deal, no publicist, indie
just music that connected and fans that rode with me
Throw me a gold mine, and a co sign
While ridin' a couple dope rides
2 women both dimes, not gonna lie, that shit sounds so nice
But I got creative control, and my soul's mine
I wouldn't trade it, maybe I'm crazy
I put on for my city, Seattle that raised me, rule 4080
it's really not changin'
Nowadays making good music, the people are your label.

So put them up up, up, so high
put them up up, up, so high
put them up up, up, so high
put them up up, up, so high
put them up up, up, so high
put them up up, up, so high

Oh my god, feels like a victory lap
Can I have that moment
Can I talk my shit

And they say, don't forget where you come from
Don't die, holding on to your words
Cause you know, that you got a whole world to change
But understand who you gotta change first.

So put them up up, up,
put them up up, up,
put them up up, up,
put them up up, up,
put them up up, up,
put them up up, up, so high.
