1
And they say, "Don't forget where you come from
2
Don't die holding on to your words
3
'Cause you know you got a whole world to change
4
But understand who you got to change first"
5
And I was like "Fuck that", humility bust back
6
I remember the days with nothing but a bus pass
7
I was just a little shorty hoping that I could find a bum to buy a 40 for me
8
And have enough for a bud sack
9
Yeah, and I dance on that instrumental
10
Unorthodox like Basquiat with the pencil
11
Give me a microphone and a beat box I could vent to
12
Music the only medium that I could find myself through
13
Recluse, sipping on some lean I would let loose
14
Looking in the mirror, watching myself lose
15
Cleaned up in '08, got a job making barely minimum wage
16
To get into that page
17
Hit the road with RL, performing in front of 8 people
18
And that shit will check your ego
19
About around that time I'm watching that EP go
20
From nothing to getting us booked around the country
21
I know no limits, life can change in an instant
22
Eight people turn into sold out shows in a minute
23
And I'm watching my pops in the back row grinning
24
With his glass up to my mom, toasting this Guinness
25
And we on (we on)
26
Good music, it lies in the ambiance
27
When we leave here
28
Will these words live on
29
Till then, we keep on making the songs
30
So put 'em up, up up, up up (so high)
31
So put 'em up, up up, up up (so high)
32
So put 'em up, up up, up up (so high)
33
Put 'em up, up up, up up (so high)
34
So put 'em up, up up, up up (so high)
35
So put 'em up, up up, up up (so high)
36
I remember that Freshman edition
37
Last year thinking to myself like
38
Yah, nah, I won't win it yet
39
Probably won't get it, but I'm gonna give it everything
40
Play my position
41
The next 11 months I gave it all everything I had in me
42
Left blood, sweat, tears in every god damn city
43
No label, no deal, no publicist, indie
44
Just music that connected and fans that rode with me
45
Throw me a gold mine, and a co-sign
46
While you're riding a couple dope rides
47
Two women, both dimes
48
Not gonna lie, that shit sounds so nice
49
But I got creative control and my souls mine
50
I wouldn't trade it, maybe I'm crazy
51
I put on for my city
52
Seattle that raised me
53
Rule four thousand eighty, it's really not changing
54
Now a days make good music, the people are your label
55
So put 'em up, up up, up up (so high)
56
So put 'em up, up up, up up (so high)
57
So put 'em up, up up, up up (so high)
58
Put 'em up, up up, up up (so high)
59
So put 'em up, up up, up up (so high)
60
So put 'em up, up up, up up (so high)
61
Oh my God, feels like a victory lap
62
Can I have that moment
63
Can I talk my shit
64
And they say, "Don't forget where you come from
65
Don't die holding on to your words
66
'Cause you know you got a whole world to change
67
But understand who you got to change first"
68
Put 'em up, up up, up up
69
Up, up up, up up
70
Up, up up, up up
71
Macklemore, Ryan Lewis
72
Put 'em up, up up, up up
73
Up, up up, up up
74
Up, up up, up up (so high)
