Macklemore & Ryan Lewis - Wings Lyrics

I was seven years old, when I got my first pair

And I stepped outside

And I was like, Momma

This air bubble right here, It’s gonna make me fly

I hit that court, and when I jumped, I jumped

I swear I got so high

I touched the net, Mom I touched the net

This is the best day of my life

Air Maxes were next

That air bubble, that mesh

The box, the smell, the stuffing, the tread, in school

I was so cool

I knew that I couldn’t crease em

My friends couldn’t afford em

Four stripes on their Adidas

On the court I wasn’t the best

But my kicks were like the pros

Yo, I stick out my tongue so everyone could see that logo

Nike Air Flight, book bag was so dope

And then my friend Carlos’ brother got murdered for his fours, whoa

See he just wanted a jump shot

But they wanted a Starter coat though

Didn’t wanna get caught

From Genesee Park to Othello

You'd get clowned for those Pro Wings, with the velcro

Those were not tight

I was trying to fly without leaving the ground

Cause I wanted to be like Mike, right

Wanted to be him

I wanted to be that guy

I wanted to touch the rim

I wanted to be cool

And I wanted to fit in

I wanted what he had, America, it begins

[Chorus]

I want to fly

Can you take me far away

Give me a star to reach for

Tell me what it takes

And I’ll go so high

I’ll go so high

My feet won’t touch the ground

Stitch my wings

And pull the strings

I bought these dreams

That all fall down

We want what we can’t have

Commodity makes us want it

So expensive, damn

I just got to flaunt it

Got to show em

So exclusive, this that new shit

A hundred dollars for a pair of shoes

I would never hoop in

Look at me, look at me

I’m a cool kid

I’m an individual, yeah

But I’m part of a movement

My movement told me be a consumer and I consumed it

They told me to just do it

I listened to what that swoosh said

Look at what that swoosh did

See it consumed my thoughts

Are you stupid

Don’t crease em, just leave em in that box

Strangled by these laces, laces I can barely talk

That’s my air bubble and I’m lost, if it pops

We are what we wear

We wear what we are

But see I look inside the mirror and think Phil Knight tricked us all

Will I stand for change

Or stay in my box

These Nikes help me define me

And I’m trying to take mine

Off

[Chorus]

I want to fly

Can you take me far away

Give me a star to reach for

Tell me what it takes

And I’ll go so high

I’ll go so high

My feet won’t touch the ground

Stitch my wings

And pull the strings

I bought these dreams

That all fall down

They started out

With what I wear to school

That first day

Like these are what make you cool

And this pair, this would be my parachute

So much more than just a pair of shoes

Nah, this is what I am

What I wore, this is the source of my youth

That dream that they sold to you

For a hundred dollars and some change

Consumption is in the veins

And now I see it’s just another pair of shoes

Macklemore & Ryan Lewis - Can't Hold Us ft. Ray Dalton Lyrics

Return of the Mac, get up

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 a new hit, get up!

Fresh out pimp strut walking, little bit of humble, little bit of cautious

Somewhere between like Rocky and Cosby

Sweater gang 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

Grown 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

[Chorus]

Can we go back, this is the moment

Tonight is the night, we’ll fight till it’s over

So we put our hands up like the ceiling can’t hold us

Like the ceiling can’t hold us

Here we go back, this is the moment

Tonight is the night, we’ll fight till it’s over

So we put our hands up like the ceiling can’t hold us

Like the ceiling can’t hold us

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. Tell me go up. 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 then from that failure gain humility and then we keep marching ourselves

[Chorus]

Can we go back, this is the moment

Tonight is the night, we’ll fight till it’s over

So we put our hands up like the ceiling can’t hold us

Like the ceiling can’t hold us

Here we go back, this is the moment

Tonight is the night, we’ll fight till it’s over

So we put our hands up like the ceiling can’t hold us

Like the ceiling can’t hold us

Na na na na na na na na

And all my people say

[X4]

Macklemore

[Chorus]

Can we go back, this is the moment

Tonight is the night, we’ll fight till it’s over

So we put our hands up like the ceiling can’t hold us

Like the ceiling can’t hold us

Here we go back, this is the moment

Tonight is the night, we’ll fight till it’s over

So we put our hands up like the ceiling can’t hold us

Like the ceiling can’t hold us

Macklemore & Ryan Lewis - Same Love ft. Mary Lambert Lyrics

[Macklemore]

When I was in the third grade

I thought that I was gay

Cause I could draw, my uncle was

And I kept my room straight

I told my mom tears rushing down my face

She's like, "Ben you've loved girls since before pre-K trippin',"

Yeah, I guess she had a point, didn't she?

A bunch of stereotypes all in my head

I remember doing the math like

"Yeah, I'm good at little league"

A pre-conceived idea of what it all meant

For those that like the same sex had the characteristics

The right wing conservatives think it's a decision

And you can be cured with some treatment and religion

Man made, rewiring of a predisposition

Playing God, Ahh nah here we go

America the brave

Still fears what we don't know

And God loves all his children it's somehow forgotten

But we paraphrase a book written thirty five hundred years ago

I don't know

[Chorus: Mary Lambert]

And I can't change

Even if I tried

Even if I wanted to

I can't change

Even if I try

Even if I wanted to

My love, my love, my love

She keeps me warm, She keeps me warm,

She keeps me warm, She keeps me warm,

[Macklemore]

If I was gay

I would think hip-hop hates me

Have you read the YouTube comments lately

"Man that's gay" gets dropped on the daily

We've become so numb to what we're sayin'

Our culture founded from oppression

Yet we don't have acceptance for 'em

Call each other faggots

Behind the keys of a message board

A word rooted in hate

Yet our genre still ignores it

Gay is synonymous with the lesser

It's the same hate that's caused wars from religion

Gender to skin color

Complexion of your pigment

The same fight that led people to walk outs and sit ins

Human rights for everybody, there is no difference

Live on! And be yourself!

When I was in church

They taught me something else

If you preach hate at the service

Those words aren't anointed

And that Holy Water

That you soak in

Is then poisoned

When everyone else

Is more comfortable

Remaining voiceless

Rather than fighting for humans

That have had their rights stolen

I might not be the same

But that's not important

No freedom 'til we're equal

Damn right I support it

I don't know

[Chorus: Mary Lambert]

And I can't change

Even if I tried

Even if I wanted to

I can't change

Even if I try

Even if I wanted to

My love, my love, my love

She keeps me warm, She keeps me warm,

She keeps me warm, She keeps me warm,

[Macklemore]

We press play

Don't press pause

Progress, march on!

With a veil over our eyes

We turn our back on the cause

'Till the day

That my uncles can be united by law

Kids are walkin' 'round the hallway

Plagued by pain in their heart

A world so hateful

Some would rather die

Than be who they are

And a certificate on paper

Isn't gonna solve it all

But it's a damn good place to start

No law's gonna change us

We have to change us

Whatever god you believe in

We come from the same one

Strip away the fear

Underneath it's all the same love

About time that we raised up

[Chorus: Mary Lambert]

And I can't change

Even if I tried

Even if I wanted to

I can't change

Even if I try

Even if I wanted to

My love, my love, my love

She keeps me warm, She keeps me warm,

She keeps me warm, She keeps me warm,

Love is patient, love is kind

Love is patient, love is kind

(not cryin' on Sundays)

Love is kind

(not cryin' on Sundays)

Love is patient

(not cryin' on Sundays)

Love is kind

(not cryin' on Sundays)

Love is patient

(not cryin' on Sundays)

Love is kind

(not cryin' on Sundays)

Love is patient

(not cryin' on Sundays)

Love is kind

(not cryin' on Sundays)

Love is patient

Love is kind
