Drug Dealer lyrics - Macklemore (with Ryan Lewis) (feat. Ariana DeBoo)
[Macklemore:]
They said it wasn't a gateway drug
My homie was takin' subs and he ain't wake up
The whole while, these billionaires, stay caked up
Paying out congress so we take their drugs
Murderers who will never face the judge
And we dancin' to a song about our face goin' numb
But I seen homies turn grey, noses draining blood
I could've been gone, out 30s, faded in that tub
That's Prince, Michael and Whitney, that's Amy, Ledger and Pimp C
That's Yams, that's DJ A.M
God damn they're making a killing
Now it's getting attention cause Sara, Katey and Billy
But this shit's been going on from Seattle out to South Philly
It just moved about the city
And it spread out to the 'burbs
Now it's everybody's problem, got a nation on the verge
Take Activis off the market, jack the price up on the syrup
But Purdue Pharma's 'bout to move that work
[Ariana DeBoo:]
My drug dealer was a doctor, doctor
Had the plug from Big Pharma, Pharma
He said that he would heal me, heal me
But he only gave me problems, problems
My drug dealer was a doctor, doctor
Had the plug from Big Pharma, Pharma
I think he trying to kill me, kill me
He tried to kill me for a dollar, dollar
[Macklemore:]
And these devils they keep on talkin' to me
They screamin' "open the bottle," I wanna be at peace
My hand is gripping that throttle, I'm running out of speed
Tryin' close my eyes but I just keep on sweatin' through these sheets, through these sheets
Four horseman, they won't let me forget
I wanna forge a prescription, cause doctor I need some more of it
When morphine and heroin is more of your a budget
I said I'd never use a needle, but sure, fuck it
I'm caught up, I'm on one, I'm nauseous
No options, exhausted
This is not what I started
Walkin' carcass, I lost everything I wanted
My blinds drawn, too gone to leave this apartment
[Ariana DeBoo:]
My drug dealer was a doctor, doctor
Had the plug from Big Pharma, Pharma
He said that he would heal me, heal me
But he only gave me problems, problems
My drug dealer was a doctor, doctor
Had the plug from Big Pharma, Pharma
I think he trying to kill me, kill me
He tried to kill me for a dollar, dollar
[Macklemore:]
More, more, more
Re-up, re-up
Death certificate signed the prenup
Ain't no coming back from this Percocet
Actavis, Ambien, Adderall, Xanax binge
Best friends with the thing that's killing me
Enemies with my best friend, there's no healing me
Refilling these, refilling these
They say it's death, death
Institutions and DOCs
So God grant me the serenity to accept the things I can not change
Courage to change the things I can
And the wisdom to know the difference
And the wisdom to know the difference
They said it wasn't a gateway drug
My homie was takin' subs and he ain't wake up
The whole while, these billionaires, stay caked up
Paying out congress so we take their drugs
Murderers who will never face the judge
And we dancin' to a song about our face goin' numb
But I seen homies turn grey, noses draining blood
I could've been gone, out 30s, faded in that tub

Wednesday Morning lyrics - Macklemore (with Ryan Lewis)
Bad taste, bad taste in my mouth
Flag wavin', flag wavin' at a Patriots house
Lookin' for change in the couch
Mad world, mad world, that's what the TV said
Imagine tryna keep your head
While your daughter sleeps in bed
And when she wakes up, will the world be the same?
Will my girl be afraid in the home of the brave?
See I hope, I hope, that it's gon' be alright
But what a hell of a night
Humanity is a privilege, we can't give in
When they build walls, we'll build bridges
This is resistance, we're resilient
When they spread hate, we shine brilliant
March by the millions 'til they hear the children
We found ourselves at a distance
Open up the jails and the overcrowded cells
When we oppress anyone, we oppress ourselves
Greatest gift I ever learned is helpin' someone else
You feel fully fulfilled 'cause you forget about yourself
Service, purpose works if you work it
Love everyone regardless of the God they worship
This isn't the Apocalypse
We can't address the hate until we acknowledge it
If Jesus was alive, would he let Mohamed in?
This isn't nature, my daughter hugs strangers
We teach fear and preach hatred
Put up a fence, scared to meet our neighbors
Think that if we let them in, they'll take advantage of us later
There's so much anger and this world is ours, raise her
My daughter, hope it's a dream when I wake up tomorrow
Bad taste, bad taste in my mouth
Flag wavin', flag wavin' at a Patriots house
Lookin' for change on the couch
Mad world, mad world, that's what the TV said
Imagine tryna keep your head
While your daughter sleeps in bed
And when she wakes up, will the world be the same?
Will my girl be afraid in the home of the brave?
See I hope, I hope, that it's gon' be alright
But what a hell of a night
And we fight for the people that haven't had a voice
Fight for the first amendment, fight for freedom of choice
Fight for women's rights, if she does or doesn't carry
We ride for all the Queer folk and fight for all to get married
I'm not moving to Canada, not fleeing the nation
No time for apathy, no more tears and no complainin'
Gotta fight harder for the next four and what we're faced with
Got my daughter in my arms and he is not gonna raise her
Bad taste, bad taste in my mouth
Flag wavin', flag wavin' at a Patriots house
Lookin' for change in the couch
Mad world, mad world, that's what the TV said
Imagine tryna keep your head
While your daughter sleeps in bed
And when she wakes up, will the world be the same?
Will my girl be afraid in the home of the brave?
See I hope, I hope, that it's gon' be alright
But what a hell of a night
Flag wavin', flag wavin' at a Patriots house
Lookin' for change in the couch
Mad world, mad world, that's what the TV said
Imagine tryna keep your head
While your daughter sleeps in bed
And when she wakes up, will the world be the same?
Will my girl be afraid in the home of the brave?
See I hope, I hope, that it's gon' be alright
But what a hell of a night
Humanity is a privilege, we can't give in
When they build walls, we'll build bridges
This is resistance, we're resilient
When they spread hate, we shine brilliant

Welcome To Myspace lyrics - Macklemore
MySpace.com
Yes!
Password, fuck here we go!
Yes! Inbox, friends, yes, ads, blogs! I love this world! MySpace!
The devil is the internet
And yes I am convinced of this
Ever since I got up on this bitch
My fingers won't let me get off of it
I thought I had it under control but, no I didn't
Now I'm a MySpace basshead and, yes, I'm addicted
Don't laugh at it, I'm a crack addict
And no doubt my whole camp's at it
Such a bad habit
I don't even leave the house
Goddamn Tom, I used to have a life with a job
Now I'm just eating cereal reading what people write in their blogs
Checking my comments to see if anyone left one, did they?
Oh no, but, she's pretty, ugh, I'm just gonna check one
It's like layers and layers and once you start you can't leave it
Cause everyone's so pretty and there's a whole lot of cleavage
Some girl's just show their booty so you don't even gotta see 'em
But that doesn't mean player that you should go out and meet 'em
Cause photoshop can be a very misleading tool and when you meet her she's 6"2 and looks like a dude
[Chorus:]
Welcome to MySpace!
Please come in
There's a whole bunch of music let me introduce you to my friends
Just type in your password you can meet guys and girls
But in exchange for these relationships you must live in our world
Welcome to MySpace!
Please come in
There's a whole bunch of music let me introduce you to my friends
Just type in your password and log into that screen
But once you're inside MySpace you're never gonna leave
Ben! What? This is your conscience
You've been logged in for seven hours
It's time to get off
Ugh God dammit! I know I have homework!
Just let me check my inbox one more time and then I'll sign out and then it will be over
Lying to yourself again, I can see
I'm not!
All you do is look at movies and download free pornography
You have an album to record, remember Ben?
Fuck my album, I'm done! My passion is now adding friends
I've met so many people I swear it will never end
206 I'm gonna get 210
I'm networking with people I've met all my favourite rappers, hieroglyphics, alcoholics
But they never return your comments
True
He won't even talk to me, he probably thinks I'm stalking him
The Blue Scholars are harder to get a hold of than Lil' Jon is
But fuck it I'mma keep trying
One day I'll get that cameo
I'mma stick out like Monica from California with that cameltoe
Tina from Virginia sent me pictures of her naked
And Benson says he's into the city don't sleep and he plays it
So I don't agree with you conscience, this is not time wasted
Even though my eyes are bleeding and I never leave the basement
See I'm happy here, so why don't you just leave me alone
Myspacemusic/macklemore that's my new home
Fuck the studio! This is my last track
I found a new reality and I'm never gonna come back
[Chorus]
Tom! Tom man!
Dude for a minute let me get outta here bro
I'm gonna go over to Hotmail, just for a second
I'm gonna come right back
Yes!
Password, fuck here we go!
Yes! Inbox, friends, yes, ads, blogs! I love this world! MySpace!
The devil is the internet

Ever since I got up on this bitch
My fingers won't let me get off of it
