Macklemore

Macklemore is one of my favorite artist/rappers. P.S. I don't really like that term especially in his case because  I feel that most of his raps are like poetry, which yes I know is clique. One of my friends has this saying "the secrets to life are hidden behind the word clique" I am a firm believer that this is true and can change your life if you apply it daily.

CAN'T HOLD US

TE THOUSAND HOURS

Here are the lyrics to one of my favorite songs by him called Can't Hold Us:

 Return of the Mac, get em

What it is? what it does? what it is? what it isn't?

Lookin' for a better way to get up out of bed instead of getting on the internet and checking out who hit me, get up!

Thrift shop, pimp strut walking, little bit of humble, little bit of cautious

Somewhere between like Rocky and Cosby

Sweater game nope nope y’all can’t copy

Yup. Bad, moonwalking

This here, is our party

My posse's been on Broadway

And we did it, our way

Throne music, I shed my skin and put my bones into everything I record to it

And yet I’m on

Let that stage light go and shine on down

Got that 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 hustlin'

Chasing dreams since I was 14 with the four track bussing

Halfway cross that city with the backpack

Fat cat, crushin labels out here

Nah they can’t tell me nothing

We give that to the people

Spread it across the country

Labels out here

Nah they can’t tell me nothing

We give it to the people

Spread it across the country

Now can I kick it? thank you

Yeah I’m so damn grateful

I grew up, really wanted gold fronts

But that’s what you get when Wu-Tang raised you

Y’all can’t stop me

Go hard like I got an 808 in my heart beat

And I’m eating at the beat like you gave a little speed to a great white shark on shark week

Raw. Time to gone off. I'm gone!

Deuces goodbye. I got a world to see, and my girl she wanna see Rome

Ceasar will make you a believer

Nah I never ever did it for a throne

That validation comes from giving it back to the people.

Nah sing a 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 and then we keep marching ourselves
