I NEED lyrics - Macklemore

 I need two bad bitches and a bag of good weed

Need an 80 inch screen, that's a big TV

I need Addies to stay up, I need Xannies to get sleep

God, give me drugs, all the lean that I can drink

All my haters, suck a dick, rest in peace

And to all the opposition you can come and get me

When I finally do some good, I need everyone to see

But please, I need you to pray for me

Had two whips, put them on gold D's

Saw Lil Baby's, I went and bought 3

Can't fly commercial, that shit ain't luxury

I need duffles, duffles, Louis, Gucci, and Balency

I need shoes, shoes, all 23

Fill the closet, buy them all and I don't even wear these

I need a necklace, I need watches, I need bezels, I need wallets

Need my diamonds to be flawless, matching no canaries

I need more, more, I'll pay whatever fee

Put me on a billboard, face on every magazine

I want it all, run it up, what the fuck is wrong with me?

'Cause I got everything and I still ain't happy

I got everything I need

So why am I falling to my knees?

I got racks on me, money ain't a thing

All I really want is to be free

Look at me, I got everything I need

So why am I falling to my knees?

I got racks on me, money ain't a thing

All I really want is to be free

Look at me

Look at me

I need a new hairline, I need better abs

My girl a Burkin bag, then BBL her ass

All the homies jealous, I can't trust none of them

So I cut my day ones off like fuck it, keep them coming

I need all new friends, they gotta be famous

Showing everybody that I really fucking made it

I need a new girl, she gotta be a model

Or a rapper, or a actor, or a fucking TikTok-er

But we need to breakup, we need to make it public

I'm going to call her a slut, make a track, "Fuck that dumb bitch"

And I need to rent a yacht, need to go to Miami

Move to Calabasas, get a private bowling alley

And I don't even bowl, but I'ma make a statement

Fuck you mean? I'm going to say it

I need to be the favorite

Saw the NBA players and I'm on Obama's playlist

Fuck a top 5, fuck them all, yep, I'm the greatest

I need love, love, I'm making history

I need paparazzi popping pictures every place I be

I want it all, want it all

The American dream

I got everything and I still ain't happy

I got everything I need

So why am I falling to my knees?

I got racks on me, money ain't a thing

All I really want is to be free

Look at me, I got everything I need

So why am I falling to my knees?

I got racks on me, money ain't a thing

All I really want is to be free

Look at me

Look at me

I want to be seen, I want to be loved

I want to be felt, don't want to be judged

I need some healing 'cause I cannot feel it, so pour up another double cup of mud

I do not know who the hell I am, done so many drugs I lost who I was

Every person I let in my circle is secretly lurking and out for blood

I got 40 thousand tucked under my mattress

And a ratchet in case anyone'll figure out the address

Security system in my attic, staring at it

I'm still flexing on the 'Gram just to show 'em that I have it

That's the fucking price of fame

Ain't never going backwards

But none of this is working, where's the purpose in this palace?

Pop a perc 30, girls twerking, just another purchase

Spiritually sick, I didn't even know I was malnourished

Everything is desolate

Botox my forehead, they can't see how stressed I am

Everything I ever wanted, the trinity

Money, power, respect

In the end were the three things that lead me to death

LOST / SUN COMES UP lyrics - Macklemore (feat. jackson lee morgan)

 I wonder what celebrities will tweet "R.I.P."

When it's announced that I'm dead on TMZ

Bury me with a million likes

And put me in the algorithm like a million times

Across the table from my girl and don't look in her eyes

She's got to compete with me looking at these other lies

Uh oh

What I would trade for the dollar sign

Tag me so I can be happy, get a follow, guys, like and subscribe

I don't need Funk Flex to drop a bomb on this

I need some influencers on TikTok, you bitch

I made a whole ass album, I worked hard on it

Fifteen tracks, we don't last fifteen seconds

We got A.D.D. and if it's passed that we exit

We just stare at memes, laugh, and we hit the next one

And our self esteem is so messed up and threatened

By other people's means and their perceived successes

The likes ain't hitting like they used to

Texting while I'm driving and I can't connect to Bluetooth

Tell me to engage, post more to get the views, dude

Keep up with the new dudes

You really need a news crew just to trend on YouTube

We're obsessed with our public image

More than staying connected to our fucking spirit

And if you listen nowadays, you can fucking hear it

Same drums, same melodies, and fuck the lyrics

It's getting darker outside

These insomnia nights

So call me in the morning when the light wakes up

Let me know I'm alright

My million mile an hour mind

Let's my insecurities drive

So call me in the morning when the light wakes up

Let me know I'm alright

Been trying to fill that void

I been trying to purchase joy

I been trying to fill the space inside

Quiet the noise

My friends dying off those opioids

So say a couple Hail Marys for my friends

The ones reaching for Heaven but never got in

I wake up and say a couple prayers under my breath

And then I get on my phone and check all my DMs

Like, what kind of life is this?

Looking up the ladder and I'm wondering how high it is

If I only had this and that I'd be alright again

Social status and all of the power in the fight against

Feeling like my life ain't shit

Looking in the mirror, like, what happened to us?

Got distracted, acting like, maybe I could buy love

The lies the mind weaves as we run through the mud

Thinking that who I am today isn't enough, fill the void

It's getting darker outside

These insomnia nights

So call me in the morning when the light wakes up

Let me know I'm alright

My million mile an hour mind

Let's my insecurities drive

So call me in the morning when the light wakes up

Let me know I'm alright

Ooh ooh ooh

Ooh ooh I'm alright

Ooh ooh ooh

Ooh ooh I'm alright

FAITHFUL lyrics - Macklemore (feat. NLE Choppa)

 Feel like I'm running out of time

And the sun won't shine forever, forever

I got my mind on my money

And my money man fuck it whatever, whatever

Sometimes I wake up on the wrong side

I don't even feel like getting up

With this depression on my brain

Hope it change but the rain ain't letting up

Can't call it, don't know where my head is

Reflecting on Malcolm, and the shit I thought but never said it

To Peter, Robin, to Kevin... all my other friendships

That could have, would have, should have and then they ended

I isolate between happiness and hopeless

Know what makes it worse? Still wanna get loaded

Sometimes I feel like I can't control my choices

And something takes over and I can't turn off the voices

Sitting with these thoughts can't escape 'em, can't run

Got some bullets in the dresser as I polish my... gun

They say that a day clean is a day won

But I'm holding on, praying to a God abandoned

Zoning on the couch, staring at my daughters

Know there's a pill in this house that I'm obsessing about popping

Reservations talking, the push and pull of the conscience

Should probably pick up the phone and call my sponsor but don't wanna

When the percs don't work, zannys won't calm you down

Not enough liquor in the bar weed grown in the ground

Trapped by these walls where my brain can't get out

Wondering if my mama have to put her son in the ground

We still going when the day break

Me and the homies on the same page

Find me in the whip, that's my safe place

Feel like I'm getting weak, I need some AA

Need someone to pray for my soul right now

Everything's looking gray, and there's no white clouds

I don't what to say, I got nothing to write down

On my knees questioning God, like why now?

I'm lost, but I'm found again

I'm up all night, I toss and turn

I love my life, I got concerns

I've been through hell, on some FML

It's just as well, I might lose it

I need some light, I need some air

I might be broken, I need repair

Don't got the answers, think I'm confused

I ask myself: who are you?

I need you right now Mack to wake up more than ever

Ain't no more weed, alcohol, and popping pills, et cetera

I know these days gettin' rough but they get better

It's a cold world, let's go to the Gucci store for a sweater

Feel it deeply in my heart you need this letter

So I pour my feelings out to you before I go and mail it

I don't know what I'm sensing, but I can smell it

When you write me back just tell it

I'ma soak it up, inhale it

Heard you got a daughter, well I got one too

And she too beautiful, barely see her too

Do you hug her and tie her shoes?

Is she reflecting of you?

And got a smile that bloom?

Before you load that gun and shoot

Just know that she be needing you

The best version of you too

I would write more but my day about to break

We can meet up face to face

Just let me know if that's ok

We still going when the day break

Me and the homies on the same page

Find me in the whip, that's my safe place

Feel like I'm getting weak, I need some AA

Need someone to pray for my soul right now

Everything's looking gray, and there's no white clouds

I don't what to say, I got nothing to write down

On my knees questioning God, like why now?

I'm lost, but I'm found again

TEARS lyrics - Macklemore

 It's like

I met you at my parent's house when I was 14

Seen you my whole life but never got to me

You'd always post in the kitchen

I knew the shelf you lived in

Above where the fridge is, but we never kicked it

Finally I decided to pull you down

Had Pac in the background, pulled the shot glasses out

Grabbed you by your neck even though we just met

Held you close, felt the fire burn my throat

Warmth like the Holy Ghost

I remember thinking, "Is this real life?"

I had two and wondered what four more would feel like

Predisposed to having an obsession

Codependent before we even had a friendship

Had a dozen of you, already loved you, I couldn't stop

Got on the metro stumbling to 3rd and Pine block

Hit the Micky D's, puked all over the restaurant

Our first date was already running from the cops

I ride with you, lie for you

My tried and true, love I never knew

It kills me to think of a life without you

But sometimes I wonder if you want me to die too

In highschool our relationship was abusive

Addicted to being together, couldn't control my usage

We pass out together on a stranger's lawn

Woke up in a random car too gone to make it to my own prom

But I had to have you even though we'd pass out in bathrooms

Take a month off to show myself

I know myself, don't need no help

Forget the pain, pouring rain

Brown bag full of guilt and shame

Mistress controlling my head

Getting arrested, not remembering anything that I said

And I knew then that I should've left

And I could see if I didn't leave

You'd lead me to death but

I ride with you, lie for you

My tried and true, love I never knew

It kills me to think of a life without you

But sometimes I wonder if you want me to die too

Bitch, you killed my uncle, you're fucking trouble

Socially acceptable and oh, so subtle

You ruined my life and I fucking loved you

Promised relief and left me with a rusty shovel

And some busted rubble

Pieces of my life that you destroyed was once freedom and joy

Was now depression, being unemployed

And I knew I had to change it and face it

And checked into rehab

And 28 days later I remembered who I really was

I remembered where I'm really from

I remembered the beauty of the present moment

That you only get when you connect to the Creator

And the breath inside the chest that fully fills your lungs

I found the people with the same allergy

And what I thought was love was really just my disease

I always thought the problem was you and couldn't believe

When I learned that the whole time my issue was me

I ride with you, lie for you

My tried and true, love I never knew

It kills me to think of a life without you

But sometimes I wonder if you want me to die too

I ride with you, lie for you

My tried and true, love I never knew

It kills me to think of a life without you

But sometimes I wonder if you want me to die too

SORRY lyrics - Macklemore (feat. Livingston)

 It's too late to get the past back

But I'm stuck in the sandtraps

And I thought that I was past that

My eyelids live in a flashback

And I can't heal your trauma

I even said sorry to your mama

But am I the type

The type of man that I want for my daughters?

Don't lose me now

Hold my hand like the first time outside my house

When life was just a couple miles

Me and you, the world was ours

I never meant to steal your smile

Fill your heart with fear and doubt

I rerun those empty vows

I play the tape and I watch for hours

I won't give up on you

If you won't give up on we

I can't live without you

I hope that you feel the same about me

And I feel lost, I feel safe, all at once

And I'm so tired, feel so angry at the world

Oh-oh, do the best I can and when I mess it up

I say "I'm sorry"

Oh-oh, when I lose control and make you feel so bad

I say "I'm sorry"

I made a list of all the reasons why I think that you should stay

And at the top I said, "I promise I'll get better someday," yeah

But all these Sundays turn to Mondays

Empty promises grow cold

What if someday turns to one day

You get sick of me and go?

I won't give up on you

If you won't give up on we

I can't live without you

I hope that you feel the same about me

And I feel lost, I feel safe, all at once

And I'm so tired, feel so angry at the world

Oh-oh, do the best I can and when I mess it up

I say "I'm sorry"

Oh-oh, when I lose control and make you feel so bad

I say "I'm sorry"

Oh-oh, do the best I can and when I mess it up

I say "I'm sorry"

Oh-oh, when I lose control and make you feel so bad

I say "I'm sorry"

GOD'S WILL lyrics - Macklemore (feat. Vic Daggs II)

 Never turn my back on my birthplace

Leave it to my city, making sure that the dirts straight

Leave my kids just enough 'cause I'll fail them the worst way

If I raised some rich spoiled white girls in the first place, yeah

Leave a legacy, one worth remembering

In my robe, looking out on Rome, on the Mezzanine, like

Why creators are the last ones with some equity?

Put myself in a position to pass it to my people

And that's why I'm not settling, more capital than Beverly

Before my grandma died, she saw me on Jeopardy

Still think PJs are too expensive

Still don't make music with people I ain't friends with

Still fuck the industry, and no, I don't mess with

People that my mama wouldn't want to have for breakfast

That's right

The suits, the streams, the snakes, the schemes, the steady

Pursuit of paper over truth and dreams

Loyal to my soil, never change the oil

Kept the motor running, kept my foot up on the gas

And push to start the button

Everything I thought I always wanted, everything it wasn't

Never know that God is everything until you lose sight of Him, yeah

Never know that God is everything until you lose sight of Him

Said it's written on my face, I can't play it off

I got so much on my plate, I can't shake it off

But I'm built for this, I'm built for this

I been staying in my lane, keep my head down

I was losing my faith, but I'm blessed now

God told me, "You built for this"

I know I'm built for this

You weren't supposed to die here

You were supposed to fly here

Look what you built off your imagination

Could've never imagined the places you would've been taken because your ideas

This is in your veins, like where the IV is

My mama's Dodge minivan became my own at 16

Before sixteen ever got you a phone

Maybe when I was 13, 12, 11, who knows

But I was in the back of that motherfucker writing my poems

On shrooms with the busted boombox

Thinking that this special brew and beater, I was Tupac, nah

If I could go back and give that motherfucker advice

I'd say it was already written, boy

Keep living your life

Put everything you got into your truth

That instrument you carry around, that is a tool

The most precious one you'll ever have

There's no shortcuts in the craft

Because the craft is actually just a path to discover you

It can get you pussy, respect, money, fame and

They love to call it, "the game," but please do not get it confused

'Cause that's just the temptation that God is going to put in front of your face

To see how bad you really want the jewel

And you don't run this shit, these are God's words

And when you catch the Holy Spirit, thank God first

Kill the ego, kill the need to keep on pleasing people

Self-centeredness and self-will isn't how God works

We only here for a blink and it's gone

So, what you going to do with the ink you use in your songs?

Regardless of your deal, or the label that you're on

When you die, the Universe already owns them all

That's God's will

It's all God's will

I KNOW lyrics - Macklemore (feat. charlieonnafriday)

 I know, my mama always told me I should drive slow

But I been bending corners with my eyes closed

Feel like I been sleeping on a tightrope

But it's my time though

Run that back again, I would throw it away

One-way ticket, I'ma to go M.I.A.

Ain't no bottle big enough to hold all this pain

The world's going to know my name

They told me don't spend too much time looking back

Stare at the future too long the present's what you're looking past

Mistakes can be hard to face in that looking glass

But I wouldn't be who I am if I took them back, nah

Just a kid in the back of the bus in his headphones

Trying to crack at a bad one and not get left off in the friend zone

Put my name at the top in Helvetica where the letterhead goes

I'm rounding third and finally got that go ahead to head home

This is Grandma's cornbread flow

When the album's finished, I'm taking the fam to Venice

And I ain't going to Club Med though

I'm not well read, no quoting Shakespeare off the head

But the mouthpieces always trend and a little more Detroit red though

The talk, Pellegrino, Arrowhead, no

All my dawgs with me like I bought some stock in Petco

Off the leash, all their bark is cheap

I finally cut the strings

I didn't want to have to dance and sing and answer to Geppetto

Life's too short, whether I like it or not

I don't exist in the dimensions they put 'round my box

Just me, myself, a ceiling, a couple of thoughts

No one on their deathbed regrets the things that they should've bought

The greatest resource is time and you can't buy back the clock

You can't rewind the tape and dub over the things I've watched

Only a matter of time before they pass the rock, give me a shot

I promised my mama I'ma to show the world what I got, like

I know, my mama always told me I should drive slow

But I been bending corners with my eyes closed

Feel like I been sleeping on a tightrope

But it's my time though

Run that back again, I would throw it away

One-way ticket, I'ma to go M.I.A.

Ain't no bottle big enough to hold all this pain

The world's going to know my name

TAIL LIGHTS lyrics - Macklemore (feat. Morray)

 I see a fork in the road

I don't know what path I'm taking

But my compass is broke

And I don't know if I'ma to make it

Yee, yee

Told a lot of lies, pushed the love aside

Tried to drive away, but my hands are tied

Never giving up, always stay and fight for me

I been driving this road

I been driving this road

Uh huh, fork in the middle, got two choices to go

Give the kids a kiss for me if I don't make it home

When I was growing up, we didn't have a diagnosis

We just kept taking more to get the serotonin

Got older and all of my homies overdosing, and therapy

Wasn't an option to process our emotions

Mama always said, "What you afraid of, boy?"

"Everything's good, you got angels, boy"

"Closed mouths go hungry, better raise your voice"

God-sized hole, no replacing the void

We create out of chaos, the music is a seance

The land that our ancestors' grave's on

My favorite artists are my two little girls

I see freedom first hand in what they make with their crayons

The light, it was always on glow

When I was lost I was on the right road

Tail lights ahead as I drive slow

Just a right turn then I find my way home

I see a fork in the road

I don't know what path I'm taking

But my compass is broke

And I don't know if I'm going to make it

Yee, yee

Told a lot of lies, pushed the love aside

Tried to drive away, but my hands are tied

Never giving up, always stay and fight for me

I'll follow your tail lights

To wherever they may lead

I'll follow your tail lights

I'll try and match your speed

Virgil said that when you make it to the penthouse

It's your duty to send the elevator back down

Somewhere along the highway I got lost

And I realized God was ahead of me all along

My mind on my business, grind my only mission

Most High, the messenger wasn't quiet enough to listen

My time was occupied, when even dining with my children

It's like me, myself, and I, and I lost sight of the vision

On borrowed time, living in extra innings

Industry survives, I'm glorifying the millions

The playlists and the streams, the album bundles and tees

But they cannot manufacture what resides in the spirit

The Phantom ain't enough if you don't remember all of the countless rides in the Civic

The moments of failure that proceeded this

Not giving a fuck about other people's perception

That's what freedom is and that's what I'm going to teach my kids

Any moment, peace is available

You just gotta remember to breathe it in

And finally I can breathe again

Anyway, man, I'm going to roll the dice

God got the wheel regardless of where I go in life

I know tonight, it was always on glow

And when I was lost, I was on the right road

Tail lights ahead as I drive slow

Just a right turn then I find my way home

I see a fork in the road

I don't know what path I'm taking

But my compass is broke

And I don't know if I'm going to make it

Yee, yee

Told a lot of lies, pushed the love aside

Tried to drive away, but my hands are tied

Never giving up, always stay and fight for me

I'll follow your tail lights

To wherever they may lead

I'll follow your tail lights

I'll try and match your speed

I don't use turn signals

Windows tinted, got a perfect view

World's ending, I'm going to burn with you

Sun going down gotta turn in soon, oh yeah

Looking in my rear view glass

Learning from the past with a beautiful crash

Write my name in the dust on the dash

It fades, but the memories last

Tail lights

Tail lights

Tail lights

Trump's Over Freestyle lyrics - Macklemore

 (Ha, ha, that's enough, that's enough, that's enough!)

Fifty grand I get this all in one take, ayy

(Turn it up!)

Now, all you high-fiving MAGA white boys drinking White Claws

Care about your taxes more than human rights, sign off

You no mask-wearing, big truck-driving

"Blue lives matter," talking shit about the riots

Double standard once the white folks went and tried it

"They're patriots," no, those are terrorists, Brian

And all you liberals out there being silent

While black people dying at the hands of police violence

That care more about animal rights and recycling

And bicycling and the climate and toothpaste with iron

You, too, are complicit, you, too, getting brought up

I'll give it to you pro bono, you, too, are the problem

I'm white there with ya, silence on all us

Comfy in my privilege like, "Should I risk all this?"

Yes, and if you think I care to lose you as a fan

Peace out, bitch, you know exactly where I stand

Trump's over, he lost (He lost)

Social media kicked him off, he gone (He gone)

Throw a party on the White House lawn, retire the liar

Impeach that orange ho, so long (You're fired)

Trump's over, he lost (He lost)

Social media kicked him off, he gone (Yeah)

Throw a party on the White House lawn, retire the liar

Impeach that orange ho, so long

It's like Trump is just a symptom that we ain't free from

Just old white supremacy that he would feed us

We celebrating, but to think a new era's begun

Still half the country feels the same way that he does, so

What the fuck are we gonna do now?

Biden my dog, but he's close to getting put down

Surprise, another old white guy in the House

Who's fine, we just hold our breath when he opens his mouth

We thought 2021 was gonna save us

We thought that we were gonna all love our neighbors

We thought COVID was over being contagious

Nope, America still armed, dumb, and dangerous

Trump's over, he lost (He lost)

Social media kicked him off, he gone (He gone)

Throw a party on the White House lawn, retire the liar

Impeach that orange ho, so long (You're fired)

Trump's over, he lost (He lost)

Social media kicked him off, he gone (Yeah)

Throw a party on the White House lawn, retire the liar

Impeach that orange ho, so long (You're fired)

Dad, wait one second

Look, I want you to say the rest of the part and then I say

"Donald Trump is gone!

Donald Trump's gone, sick-a-nin-nin town?

Got that voice, now sick-a-nin-nin lime?"

2020 Funk Flex Freestyle lyrics - Macklemore

 Alright, I feel like rapping tonight, one time, now

I bought an old Rolls Royce in a color I didn't like

'Cause it was fresher than a Honda and faster than a bike

I coulda bought a new one but then I saw the price

And I was like: "Shit, that's a house in Fife"

I can't do that, that's like spending two racks

On a pair of SB dunks that Travis Scott wore once in a McDonald's food ad

Doesn't sit right like a white dude in a do-rag

With cornrows under a Fubu hat

Screaming suwoo fam

Who the fuck are you, damn

Go back to the burbs and chill on the YouTube chat

Back in my day you got jumped trying to do that

Curb stopped for the N-word, don't use that

The internet got everybody cozy

Like in real life, you won't get socked in the dome piece

Tough in the bio when you wildin' with the homies

But deep down you're idle, tired, and lonely

Shit, I am too

The worlds in a shortage of real music, real people, real importance

Like God got drunk on a bunch of coronas

And ashed his backwood on a California forest

Shit, we're late on the mortgage

Praying for no more of the bigot in the orange wig

Anyone else, if we settle, we settle

Biden is better than the devil

It's easy to get apathetic to the moment we're having

And white supremacy loves it some white liberal pacifists

Oh, we can silence shit we've been silenced

And posting a black square doesn't make you an activist

Share your seat

Listen and take action

And be on the right side of history when your grandkids sit on your lap

And ask about how 2020 was

And you tell 'em it was fucked

But at least we stood up for somethin'

Police we defund and not expose the corrupt

The system should be up and cut and never return to what it was

To get to better days we gotta get through fucked up ones

And for the last 6 months we've been stuck in one

But I think it's changing all in all

Come November you better be putting your mask on

We gotta vote

I'm just like you, no excuse

Schedule free 'cause I got no job to go to

2020

Woo!

It's Christmas Time lyrics - (feat. Dan Caplen)

 Oh, I wish it was '99, when I was a kid at Christmas time

Couldn't go to bed that night

Santa Claus sliding, snow in the driveway

Under the lit-up Christmas tree with my crazy-ass family

Singing, "Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh" (I got it)

Wish I was a kid at Christmas again (Alright)

Now, fill up the gas in the SUV

Spent way too much time tryna pick out our tree

The ceiling ain't as tall as we thought, I see

Gotta cut a couple inches off the top to proceed

And now we stringing the lights up

Five hours later, we stringing the lights up

Listenin' to Bing Crosby by the fire

Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Mariah

Turn off that Michael Bublé

Turn on that one movie about the kid who licked the telephone pole on the Blu-ray

Red Ryder BB-Gun, stayin' up all night

Jimmy Stewart, It's A Wonderful Life, now am I right?

The collar's puffy, the beard is long, the belly's tubby, but the reindeer are strong

It's Santa Claus

It's Christmas time!

Oh, I wish it was '99, when I was a kid at Christmas time

Couldn't go to bed that night

Santa Claus sliding, snow in the driveway

Under the lit-up Christmas tree with my crazy-ass family

Singing, "Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh"

Wish I was a kid at Christmas again

Now, I wrap presents like a kid wearing mittens

Blindfolded, with a pair of left-handed scissors

Janky, but the gift inside? Ridiculous

Better than whatever it is you had on your wishlist

Dig in then whip up the Bisquick

Go outside, and throw 'round the pigskin

I'm a dad now, but still feel like a big kid

Best time of year, can I get an "Amen"? (Amen)

The Almond Roca, the hottest cocoa

The track around the tree with the locomotives

I wanted a Jordan poster to measure my growth spurt

Starter logo, Georgetown Hoyas

I'm going off of the head, y'all

Homemade cookies that I dip in the eggnog

I wanna take a second, and shoutout my dead dog

Toby, he's dead

Oh, I wish it was '99, when I was a kid at Christmas time

Couldn't go to bed that night

Santa Claus sliding, snow in the driveway

Under the lit-up Christmas tree with my crazy-ass family

Singing, "Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh"

Wish I was a kid at Christmas again

Oh, I wish it was '99, when I was a kid at Christmas time

Couldn't go to bed that night

Santa Claus sliding, snow in the driveway

Under the lit-up Christmas tree with my crazy-ass family

Singing, "Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh"

Wish I was a kid at Christmas

Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Wish I was a kid at Christmas again

It's Christmas time!

Next Year lyrics - Macklemore (feat. Windser)

 Next year's gonna be better than this year

Next year's gonna be better than this 'cause

New Year's Eve comin' with a fresh kiss, yeah

Next year's gonna be better than this year

Next year's gonna be better than this year

Next year's gonna be better than this 'cause

New Year's Eve comin' with a fresh kiss, yeah

Next year's gonna be better than this

Next year's my come up

I've been lackin' but I can feel that it's the one

All the last three-sixty-five-one sucked

Like God group texted the world and dumped us

Bah, bah, bah, you better watch my bounce back

I'ma be the man in here

Glass to the sky, like we tryna grab the chandelier

I'd like to take this opportunity and toast to me

For bein' exactly who I'm supposed to be

'Cause life is gonna do what life does

I don't wanna look back and regret who I was

Let go of the expectations and then fire one

Forget the tally sheet before all my time's up

And I, know I gotta roll with it

I'm well aware the universe doesn't owe me shit

I know that, all of this pain means the growth, I think

That next year's gonna be better than this (Let's go)

I'm still an optimist, yeah, I

Got a lot to live on time

Ain't foolin' that shit 'cause next year's gonna be better than, better than (Go)

Next year's gonna be better than this year (Woo)

Next year's gonna be better than this 'cause

New Year's Eve comin' with a fresh kiss, yeah

Next year's gonna be better than this

I'm sick of missin' out, sick of the fear and doubt

I'ma get spiritual soon, live in the here and now

Alone in my room, but you gon' hear me loud

And clear, let's start it at the top of the year

I want, one last cigarette, one last sip of it

One last secret, one last little bit

One last upper, one last sedative

One last supper with the devil and his relatives

And I was gonna change my ways

I was just waitin' for that day to pull myself up out of that page

Run that route and make a play, so sick of sittin' on the bench

It's finally to get in shape and livin' like a scrimmage

Thinkin' that I'll get another day now, no

I ain't wait up for coach marchin' band

I'ma go and parade in my zone, goddamn

Man in the mirror finally got on, fuckin' next year

The time is now to press go and I'm gone

I'm still an optimist, yeah, I (Uh-huh)

Got a lot to live on time (Yes)

Ain't foolin' that shit 'cause next year's gonna be better than, better than (Go)

Next year's gonna be better than this year (Woo)

Next year's gonna be better than this 'cause

New Year's Eve comin' with a fresh kiss, yeah

Next year's gonna be better than this

Next year's gonna be better than this year (Woo)

Next year's gonna be better than this 'cause

New Year's Eve comin' with a fresh kiss, yeah

Next year's gonna be better than this

Let's go

NO BAD DAYS (Remix) lyrics - Macklemore (feat. Collett & Armani White)

 No bad days, yeah

I think that I'm lucky, I don't got it made

Everything I got could fit inside a suitcase, yeah

They could try to make me quit, yeah

Stay in your lane, you ain't on my road trip and

It's kind of funny, people throwing shade

I'm just doing me, I don't got no bad days, yeah

They could try to make me quit, yeah

Stay in your lane, yeah we off that bullshit

Top back, '85, that's the way we like to drive

Doing donuts all the neighbors know us, yeah we outside

Look alive, the freaks of the city

They come out at night

Fuck a line, fab five Freddy 1989

Time to show off

I'm so Warhol

So sophisticated

Life is bitching baby

Velvet rope I'm ducking

Looking regal when I come in

And the peacoat it's so London I'll be

Leaving with a dutchess

New city, fuck it up

Yeah yeah yeah

Here for one night, stay a month

Yeah yeah yeah

Spent my whole life on a bus

Yeah yeah yeah

Show time, run it up

Nobody want to say goodbye

We just want to stay up, that's right

Don't got to say goodnight

If you never wake up

Yeah yeah yeah

I think that I'm lucky, I don't got it made

Everything I got could fit inside a suitcase, yeah

They could try to make me quit, yeah

Stay in your lane, you ain't on my road trip and

It's kind of funny, people throwing shade

I'm just doing me, I don't got no bad days, yeah

They could try to make me quit, yeah

Stay in your lane, yeah we off that bullshit

I said I said

Damn baby girl who got you smiling like that?

Like where yo man, send me yo gram

You know Ima follow right back

And I'm the same with all my friendships

Cuz we came up off them benches

I just pushed a track to plat and

Took the plaque back to the trenches I said

Big time rush, she like them boys with the bands

I do big time numbers now they forcing my hand

I ain't pack to stay till Monday but we going with the plan

'22 I ran the summer, guess we doing it again yeah yeah

2 full cups new ramen (aye!)

Who pulled up, who hoppin' (aye!)

One hand up you sliding (aye!)

Last hand up you driving (aye!)

Mouth full of diamonds

Park the whip on get my drip on

Bitch I'm stylish... Tuck my shirts on side

Cuz these pockets designers I said

I think that I'm lucky, I don't got it made

Everything I got could fit inside a suitcase, yeah

They could try to make me quit, yeah

Stay in your lane, you ain't on my road trip and

It's kind of funny, people throwing shade

I'm just doing me, I don't got no bad days, yeah

They could try to make me quit, yeah

Stay in your lane, yeah we off that bullshit

Shadow lyrics - Macklemore (feat. IRO)

 (from "Songland")

[IRO:]

Got me straight up drinkin' from the barrel

I've been losin' hours

Singin' sad songs underneath the gallows

Runnin' from my shadow

Runnin' from my shadow

[Macklemore:]

I need relief, I need some peace

But the voices, they keep talking to me

And I keep going to meetings, I pray every evening

But I can't escape my disease

Lookin' at me, stare in the mirror

Look at the man starin' back at you

You are your failures, you are your triumphs

You are a prophet, you are an asshole

You are a devil and you are a god

You buy a shovel and bury it all

Think you can purchase your way right out of the void

And not end up payin' the cost?

Lie to yourself, lie to them, hell

Whatever helps, forgotten what's real

You think the secrets you keep stay between you and me

But the shadow's attached to your heels, like

[IRO:]

Got me straight up drinkin' from the barrel

I've been losin' hours

Singin' sad songs underneath the gallows

Runnin' from my shadow

Runnin' from my shadow

[Macklemore:]

I let it rain through the sunroof

I've been parked out by the waterfront

Been going to war with myself

Reading Sun Tzu, bumpin' Tha Carter I

I'm back on day two, forgot how hard it was

Starin' at me for so long, I forgot who the target was

I thought I was over this, this isn't what sober is

What kind of dad would hold their kids

Then go back out and ignore the risk?

The shadow wants me to forget the pain

Wants me to live in the guilt and the shame

So much that I have no choice

But to die from the drugs or blow out my fucking brain

The shadow, it wants me too busy

It wants me keep driftin'

It wants me to give in to fame

It wants me forgettin' that I got an illness

That lives in my spirit in different ways

Shadow, the light

They can both blind, got different names

If it's too dark, if it's too bright

It can still burn you with different flames

And I don't owe them an iota

Tell my mama I'ma die sober

Yeah, I might be bipolar

I should write an album out in Wyoming

Low bottom, I'm a high roller

Go full throttle, got no chauffeur

Got two voices on both shoulders

But I keep swinging 'til the fight's over

[IRO:]

Got me straight up drinkin' from the barrel

I've been losin' hours

Singin' sad songs underneath the gallows

Runnin' from my shadow

(Runnin' from my shadow)

[IRO:]

Runnin', I'm runnin', I can't get away, away, away

Chasin' me down every night and all day, all day, all day

Runnin', I'm runnin', I can't get away, away, away

Chasin' me down every night and all day, all day

Runnin', I'm runnin', I can't get away, away, away

Chasin' me down every night and all day, all day, all day

I'm runnin', I'm runnin', I can't get away

Chasin' me down every night and all day

My mama told me I gotta be brave, be brave, be brave

[IRO:]

Keep runnin' from my shadow
