Bush Song lyrics - Macklemore

[Intro:]

Hello Americans

My name is George Bush, and I'm goin' to do a rap for ya'll

Check it out

[Verse 1:]

Bitch I'm from Texas

We're homophobic and sexist

And if these Mexicans keep comin in I'm a dismember em

You don't see me in El Paso, selling their tacos

Shit in my el bano, I'll cut off your asshole

God damnit, don't even talk about the faggots

If I ever seen one singin the national anthem I'm a strangle em

Hell nah they can't get married, but they can fight in the military

Hopefully they'll end up buried in a cemetery

I don't even consider em people

Go ahead put 'em in the front lines

Next to them negroes

But I'm not racist

Colin Powell's like my brother, aright I admit it I hate 'I'm

Where's Dick Cheney at? Probably off in Iraq

Findin some oil to tap, tell em I got up on that

And y'all still think it was Bin Laden

When it was us and the Masons, plottin on oil profits

[Hook: x2]

I'm evil

But y'all didn't know though

Now y'all stuck with a president that y'all didn't vote fo'

Unemployment is up, the economy's in a ditch

Our country's at war, but I don't give a shit I'm rich

[Verse 2:]

My brother said some racist shit a coupla years back

Then the blacks came out and started to protest and crap

And I knew I'd have little hope, cause all the sudden

The blacks got together and started to register to vote

But thank God for computers and them helping

Cause we got the last names of every single felon

We programmed the computers to find the names that were the same

Whoever came up couldn't vote on th' election day

Way to go Jeb, really great strategy

We got rid of the majority of black families

And I'm not even talkin' about Dade County

The expired military ballots are bogus counted

I'd like to thank my cousin and the help from my pappy

My cousin owns Fox and it made me very happy

He told the entire world that I won

Before the votes were bein done counted

And even though Gore had more, what matters in the end

Is the Supreme Court, and those are my dad's friends

So thank you very much, and please remember

If you don't vote, I'll see you back in November

[Hook x2]

[Outro:]

I'm rich, George muthafuckin Bush, what? what!?

O- ok, uh nothing dad- nothin daddy, nut- I'm not doin nuttin

No it's country, do-don't Da-Daddy, Daddy, ok (smack smack smack)

Aah Daddy

Good For You lyrics - Macklemore (feat. Step Cousins)

Now you know what's good for you

Got that, not gonna warn you

We got that to make it right right right

You know all women, I adore you

Bodies [?]

The energy, melody life life life

Now you know what's good for you

Got that, not gonna warn you

We got that to make it right right right

You know all women, I adore you

Bodies [?]

The energy, melody life life life

See I don't know why I gotta go and creep around

You've seen me and my penis [?]

Not used to having to sleep without somebody

And I've been chugging alcohol and I'm leaving now

And I don't wanna go home alone tonight

I was freaking with some hunny named Lisa

She was squeezing alpha [?] Puerto-Rican Diva

Weaving her hair with the cleavage

[?]

She's flashing the keys to go peep the house

And then my phone rings, it's my girl on the line

It's like, I don't know what the hell to do

It's like women like this are subtle [?] and few

I'm fucked up in the club with a blunt and a butt

But my love will hang up if I tell her the truth

See, I can be a selfish dude especially when

I'm off a blunt and a brew but

But she's so sexy, now let me spend the night

It's like HELP, either way I'm screwed

Get it?

See if I lie, I got my conscience to deal with

But if I go with the lie [?] then I'm gonna get

To grind with a fine Puerto-Rican Brazilian

But is it really worth it? I don't know

I gotta ask myself that question

Booty's truly [?] an option but [?]

My girl Evan

Now you know what's good for you

Got that, not gonna warn you

We got that to make it right right right

You know all women, I adore you

Bodies [?]

The energy, melody life life life

Now you know what's good for you

Got that, not gonna warn you

We got that to make it right right right

You know all women, I adore you

Bodies [?]

The energy, melody life life life

I don't wanna do it but I can't help it

I'm so selfish

Lady, what you want me to say?

Foolish

The lies and deception

I tried to confess it

Committed, but I still wanna play

If I gave into the fact that you hate me and take me back

I'm saving face by staying at the bar

And embracing this Jack

She wanna leave, I can tell by the way

She react to the mouth piece

No more dollar drinks so she

Followed me with the house keys

And I know what I'm doing is wrong

Hoping that you were the one

But out 'til like two in the morn

With nobody you wanna know

It's comforting to know you're home

When I'm out on the road

I know you're lonely though

Or maybe got some flow of your own

In the looking glass, you shake your ass

I sat back and I watched

Then I took your hand, and we both danced

While thinking of the thoughts

It might've been the circumstance that hurt

This man - I'm a circus act at most

Nobody's perfect girl, it's a perfect world

But we don't have to know

And I'm not trying to justify it

But I might try to simplify it

One touch and I'm mesmerized

So I mess around in disguise

Flesh to the eyes, test to the lies

Sex gets my vote unless...

You're destined to die with the one

Next to your side

Fsho

I don't wanna do it but I can't help it

I'm so selfish

Lady, what you want me to say?

Foolish

The lies and deception

I tried to confess it

Committed, but I still wanna play

Now you know what's good for you

Got that knock [?] and I warn you

We got that to make it right right right

And all women, I adore you

Bodies [?]

The energy, melody life life life

I Said Hey lyrics - macklemore

Yo, the first time I heard Digital Underground I was in the first grade

My homie Lace brought it over and he dubbed it on a mixtape

I would do the Humpty Hump and perform to his verses

Twelve years later I learned that Shock-G and him were the same person

I loved Hammer, I can't front he taught me how to dance

Along with Bel Biv Devoe I had Jay Ohs and a pair of zebra pants

But this was the foundation of what would come to be

A life long passion journey and drive; an emcee

Some people ask me what it means, I don't know where to start

It's the deepest connection between my soul and my heart

When I first stepped into a cipher and a jam in the park

I got served, no for real I got served

But see I learned something

Observed others and watched

An urged hunger burst, earned a turn at that park.

I don't care who you are, where you're from or what you believe in

But if you love hip hop I bet it's more or less for the same reason

This is it when you spit you exist in that moment

And if you're sick with that gift then you rip it when you perform it

Then all the shit that you live begins to lift up your shoulders

And the audience well they get to experience where your soul is

The most amazing feeling, rocking the crowd to your anthem

From the front to the back with their motha fuckin' hands up

'Cause I'm an emcee, won't be the first won't be the last

Just another b-boy and I'm a die in my stance

If you got a pen and a pad put your heart down

If you got a record and can crab lay a scratch down

If you got a marker and a can bomb your art now

If you got a floor and you're fast kick that I'll style

If you got a pen and a pad put your heart down

If you got a record and can crab lay a scratch down

If you got a marker and a can bomb the whole damn town

But if you live for hip hop don't ever put your hands down

Don't put your hands down, keep that shit up

We're goin' to rock it like this, do this with me

It goes front, back

Front, back

Front, back

Front, come on

It goes front, back

Front, back

I said front, back

To my people you know it

Now I don't know if it's the clothes, the hoes, or the cars

That makes people rap like they're trapped inside of these bars

This shit ain't complicated man just be who you are

To busy searching for the light and missing the fact that you're a star

Now who's got passion now stand the hell up

'Cause I want to hear somebody rapping who's got it inside their cuts

Or you can get intricate displaying your fancy cadences

But if you're not speaking the truth you might as well not be saying shit

I said who's going to teach the kids?

You'd rather blow up and get famous so you can get some new rims

All the money in the world can help you look like a star

But money can't buy you the heart to go and put inside your bars

And I like nice shit too

Believe me, I got a closet full of Nikes and a whole bunch of Lenore suits

They'll give you the white tees and the icy earring like the whole youth,

Population of hip hop but look beyond it when I record through,

These beats 'cause if I don't speak me

What's the difference between my lyrics and what you hearin' on MTV

People fear that if they're steering away from the mainstream

Then their album won't sell

Well I could give a fuck

I'm just goin' to freestyle and spit what's in my gut

And if you want to you can go and label me conscious

But remember there's a kid at a bus stop beat boxin'

Who's life will be effected by what's inside of his Walkman

If you got a pen and a pad put your heart down

If you got a record and can crab lay a scratch down

If you got a marker and a can bomb your art now

If you got a floor and you're fast kick that I'll style

If you got a pen and a pad put your heart down

If you got a record and can crab lay a scratch down

If you got a marker and a can bomb the whole damn town

But if you live for hip hop don't ever put your hands down

Penis Song lyrics - Macklemore

Ladies and gentlemen

Introducing, the penis song.

(Oh no he didn't)

(Honk a dick)

This is my penis song

I wish that I had a bigger shlong

One that was quite a bit more thick and way more long

One of those porno king kong dongs

Check it out

I wish my dick was bigger, I can admit it

I'm above average on inches but I want a damn double digit

If I had a big ol' cock what would I do?

I'd probably go to Florida and show it Katrina and screw

Get buck naked and start streaking at my school

And get arrested but at least the girls would be impressed

With my third leg and, and then I'd go to a keg and

Do a keg stand, get drunk and do the running man

With no clothes on just to show off

My dick's bigger than yours when mine is cold and soft

Haha, oh yeah I forgot that's not really the cock that I have

I went out and party-bagged 'em and quickly opened the package

And it fit me like Kriss Kross's old school starter jackets

Trying to convince myself like, "Size doesn't matter,"

Anyways I'd probably just put it on backwards cause I mean

I know that god made us all different and special

But shit did he really have to invent lopsided testicles?

I don't have them I just feel bad for the like you know the guys with like

Their left one hangs like lower than the right, kinda like a lazy eye like on your balls

I mean I don't know, I just feel bad

This is my penis song

I wish that I had a bigger shlong

One that was quite a bit more thick and way more long

Fellas if ya'll feel me sing along

Yo ladies

Yeah?

Ladies!

Yeah?

Do you want a guy with an average dick?

Hell no

Then- wait you don't?

No you honkey dick

Okay that's cool, no that's fine

I promise, I'm so self conscious

That's why you never see me skinny dippin' in August

Always walkin' around with my hands in my pockets trying to pump blood into my guy Alfonso

I mean, goddamn I don't think you girls understand

I've had a complex since that song Short Short Man

And even though girls have told me that I'm big when I watch a porno I feel like a little kid

I mean, let's take Ron Jeremy

Now if a girl sees him she'll compare him to me

And every MC in hip hop has got a huge cock

Or at least talks about it in every song that they've got

I mean, shit

If I was really hung I'd make a whole album called Me and My Dick

With interludes of all the girls that I'd been with

And talk about my package and multiple orgasms

'Cause all that I see is that size does matter

We got Enzite, penis pumps surgery to Viagra

But when it all adds up you can't really change it

I'm not a porno star I just gotta face it

You know, what can I do

This song goes out to like all the like little bit above average dudes

So like all the small dudes, medium dudes but all you big dudes stop

This is my penis song

I wish that I had a bigger shlong

One that was quite a bit more thick and way more long

Fellas if ya'll feel me sing along

The Magic lyrics - Macklemore

And then I remembered the magic,

Forgot that you can't plan it.

It's always there in front of us

Just trust and it happens.

And the star dust from the universe of this planet

I just get stressed when I try to understand it.

And I remember the magic,

Forgot that you can't plan it.

It's always there in front of us

Just trust and it happens.

And the star dust from the universe of this planet

It's always there, you can't try to understand it.

Now, I don't know why this world is a trip

See, I just float by hoping that I can live.

With a pen I'm so high, using this medicine

I got a little bit of it to give

Come on hear me now.

My momma says the trip inside of you gon' hear it child.

We all got it, if you want it gotta get it out.

I know you know what I'm talking about

See it's the music from the magic, got me on top of these clouds, come on

Keep it poppin' with my favorite song

There's no feeling like the city walking with my walkman on

It gets to me, giving me goosebumps and I'm gone,

And when I die just make sure that I got my pen and headphones on.

In good times and upsets,

Rain, hail, beats, sand, heat, land, and a lot of damn sunsets.

They say that you can never capture the moment

Photograph or record it, but I swear I can when I bump them.

As I bear witness to existence setting in the distance

For a sheer instance I become one with it

Dismeant up to ten when I listen like I was set on this mission

Places I've been when I with them

I'm feeling the most high when I got my pen snd I'm scriptin'

No engines speakin as I enter religion.

No crosses, pews, prayers, or repentance for sinning

Just the RCA jack, a sentence and a vision.

Inside of the gut, time with the cut, right from the plug

That feeling that goes right into us.

Instead of bump live, but with eyes wide

Church you got some fire and a lighter on my fire and uh

Depending on the month, sometimes I feel high with just pen and pad

If the gab, the light's within us.

I can apply my touch on the mic stand and bust

To the whole planet, and my headphones on

And to the magic

Forgot that you can't plan it.

It's always there in front of us

Just trust and it happens.

And the star dust from the universe of this planet

I just get stressed when I try to understand it

And I remember the magic,

Forgot that you can't plan it.

It's always there in front of us

Just trust and it happens.

And the star dust from the universe of this planet

It's always there, you can't try to understand it.

[Speaking]

Have you ever done hallucinogenics?

Children don't get it twisted, I'm not reccomending.

[Rapping]

But it's not fried brains and hippies and kids jumpin' off buildings

It can be spiritual epiphanies and medicine.

Now I first tried shrooms when I was 16,

And the universe became more interesting.

I began to contemplate my place in this landscape

And reflect on what it meant to be a human being.

What I went through felt as though I dreamt it.

Through my experience, became aware of my breath, then

Began to cultivate my art with the intention of the heart,

Started to use my sentences as reflections.

And what I saw was God was in all of us and we all come to be interconnected.

And all that was depended on all of us

And had effects like a domino when you let it.

Go with the flow, that the universe holds.

Understand that there's more than you expected.

I don't do shrooms anymore 'cause I don't need to explore.

All that I was looking for was was the present.

And I remember the magic,

Forgot that you can't plan it.

It's always there in front of us

Just trust and it happens.

And the star dust from the universe of this planet

I just get stressed when I try to understand it.

And I remember the magic,

Forgot that I can't plan it.

It's always there in front of us

Just trust and it happens.

And the star dust from the universe of this planet

It's always there, you can't try to understand it.

City Don't Sleep lyrics - Macklemore

Now everyday that I walk outta my building,

I see homeless people sleeping and chillin' on the steps to the apartment that I live in.

I'm not saying everyone is a victim, but the people that I live would treat em more like villains then actual citizens.

I walk past a man laying in his own vomit, who gets his food and his garments by digging in the garbage.

I beg your pardon. Mr president but I'm a resident and since you've been in office I haven't seen any evidence of things changin'

We go into our Iraq and attack

When got people on the streets without a roof over their backs.

We've come to accept the homeless as part of our landscape.

The money the government wastes could provide them with a safe place.

To eat and sleep, but we cease to see that our own country is based around war, power and greed.

We got families on the street with no where to go, and the concrete's the only place they have to call home.

Nowhere to call your own,

Out here in the cold,

Wishin' you had a home,

Feelin' you're all alone.

[x2]

Now every face tells a different story, a different message.

Now how can we judge the book when we don't know the beginning.

We don't know what turned 'em to the bottle, or started injectin',

We just see dirty clothes and another bum beggin',

Whatta bout the kid who was an addict the second that his mom was pregnant,

Or the young girl who was raped and stripped up, everything sacred.

Who now stands downtown walkin' on the block pacin' cause the only way she knows how to make it, is gettin' naked.

We don't want to face it,

And it being the fact that the government created the ghetto and gave it crack,

To oppress immigrants and blacks, and give 'em more of a set back.

Like the last 500 years wasn't enough to accomplish that.

Now look at the homeless rate, and tell me to my face the race,

Doesn't play an intricate part in your fate in the United States,

Now think about your home, and the place that you sleep,

And the homeless, who only have the concrete.

Nowhere to call your home,

Out here in the cold,

Wishin' you had a home,

Feelin' you're all alone.

[x2]

Now if you wanna see change?

Then throw your ones in the air,

You think the system that we're living in is not fair?

You wanna see change?

Then put your ones in the air,

Now point it to the ground, 'cause change starts right there.

You wanna see change?

Then put your ones in the air,

You think the system that we're living in is not fair?

You wanna see change?

Then put your ones in the air,

Now point 'em to yourself, 'cause change starts right there.

'Cause change starts right there.

Love Song lyrics - Macklemore

Yo,

I'm gettin older now

23 years old and half of me just wants to make the move and go and settle down

The other half's like, "Hell no, you better mess around. Don't let me down, especially when you got an album comin' out"

When I first saw you, I'm like "Aw shit, goddamit look what God did. Hail Mary Jesus!"

Three years later I'm sittin' in our apartment thinkin' about all the places that my heart's been

I mean it's crazy right?

This is maybe wife [?] - the one that found me in a drought, pulled me out and made me right

Through the ups and downs we stuck it out and now you're leavin' town

Another couple thousand miles south, which leads to crazy fights

[Phew]

And I don't know how to deal with it, I gotta be real with ya

Uh,

Each day I get filled with the - feelin' of realer love, I wanna continue, what

But,

This ain't the same old love song cause we been through the depths where all the trust is gone

For months on end all we have is phone calls

What,

You know what makes it worth it?

To watch someone progress

To have them watch you

Someone that you respect and value and cry to

It's something so comforting cause it could bring so much truth

But then magic can be stagnant and the relationship doesn't move

The commitments to yourself

And that you're always learning, to acknowledge you're both perfect and still wanna keep working

To progress as a person but as an individual entity and then come together as a unit but still maintain that identity

It sounds so elementary but it's so complex, it's the most delicate balance to get away from attachments

But it could work

I'm attemptin' it,

Nah, we're livin' it

To keep defining and redefining what love and commitment is

Sing that, come on

Every time I can't ignore you

Every time I come around I see your face always movin'

Yo,

Just workin on dependency

Sometimes the thing you love the most in this world you just gotta let it be

It hurts to have to set it free

And if it does, it doesn't work we both know that it was meant to breath

Can't hide from experiences

And there's so many people out there in this world were gonna find interestin'

It's only a matter of time before that right connection

Thousands of miles away, whatchu expect?

You see I'm wonderin' where are you?

Tearin' the label off of a beer as I'm sittin at this barstool

You would tell me not to call you, to never use you as a fall through

To sit with my emotion, but the lump in my throat builds as the heart rips open up

And not even your voice alone can shift to go and close it shut

So I just let it flow through me

Feelin' lifted from the spirit like the bag in American Beauty

And if your life truly flashes in front of you, when you die just know the best time of my life has been lovin' you

I love you, you know

Let's get em, c'mon

We been together but in my head,

We would break apart; I would hold my heart, tied inside

But you knew that my soul could not be given to anybody easily

Woah-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh

(Ohhhhhhh yeah)

Woah-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh

It's a beautiful thing isn't it?

One more time Ev,

Every time I can't ignore you

(Feels good don't it?)

Every time I come around I see your face always movin'

Remember High School lyrics - Macklemore

Yo, remember High School?

With that dude who thought he was so cool

Walking around like everybody should know who, he is

Like he was some superstar in the biz

Just because he had a Japanese car and some rims

It's silly ain't it?

It goes to show how tainted

'Cause these hoes jocked him like he was somebody who supposedly made it

And I'm not hating man, the dude was my boy

But I watched girl after girl get their world destroyed

Now when a squirrels a squirrel and a nut is a nut

And I seen a lot of girls cut so they could get stuffed

Or at least be cool in the High School soap opera

'Cause kids do anything to be popular

Guys get their hair cut so girls can jock ya

But if girls get with guys their known as a trick

But if a dude does the same shit he's known as a pimp

And the question is: Is there really a difference?

Remember that girl in high school that everyone wanted to hit

She wore them dresses with the bestest breasteses in sizes with x's

And she was the queen of estrogen white black puerto rican and mexican

And she sat next to you in third period

She powdered her face but her skin had no flaws

Her tits looked like she wore three wonderbras

Thank God for that math book you put on your lap to,

Cover up your jeans when your dick got hard

I mean she was amazing I'm not playing

You were like 14 but she was still the kind of girl you wanted a baby with

And I could tell the way that she would rock them pants

That a lot of dudes hit it but she wanted a chance

You talked to her but she gave you the shoulder

She was the type of girl that was cold as Boulder

She'd only mess with ya if you drove a Rover

What I push? Well fuck it

Let's just say a bucket. OK

Anyway one day I rocked a show

And I see her right there chillin' up in the front row

Next time I go to my math class fer sho she's talking about

"Hey yo bro, I didn't know that you flowed

Hey yo what's up with that CD? Maybe we could eat lunch after P.E.

Ah he he he he"

If it's the mic you rock, the car you got, the 3-pointer you shot that get's the girl then she's probably a breezy

Remember high school with that girl you can't remember

Who?

The one that never stuck out, she was kind of like whatever

Kinda nerdy, never came to the parties

She went home after school and never really chilled with nobody

She was in one of your classes and used to wear glasses

With braces that accented her pimples that weren't really attractive

But she was good in Spanish and let you cheat off her answers

But when you'd see her in the hall you would walk right past her

You acted like a bastard and never treated her right

'Cause her body wasn't bucklin' and her face wasn't tight

Well guess what

See that beautiful girl with the big butt

Standing at the incense shop reading the poetry that she writes

That's her. oh hell nah, I know that's not her

Wait minus the pimples, the braces, and a lot less nerd

Take off the overalls and the baggy sweatshirt

Yeah there she is, reading about her words

Shit, man I'm a go spit some game

Wait I see some resemblance from like way back in the day

I rememeber that girl that only liked me 'cause I rhymed

And now I'm really only talking to this girl 'cause she looks fine

Back when she was normal I wouldn't give her my time

Shit that's crazy

I kinda feel sleezy

If I could flip the scenario

I'm the same as these hoes

Kinda like the male version of a breezy

Contradiction lyrics - Macklemore (feat. Evan Roman)

The other day, me and XP opened for Souls Mischief

I'm like "Yo, let's get on some angry MC showmanship and hit 'em"

Rocked all the cocky songs and not too many soulful lyrics

Even a couple dissin' women callin' 'em groupies, hoes, and bitches

Got off stage, and I'm like "Yo, I know that we killed it"

Ran into a familiar face, a female who comes in and supports us

I said "Peace!" She said "Wait! Let me talk to you for a minute

I know it's none of my business, but I wasn't impressed by your performance."

I said "Word? Shit, I love feedback and criticism"

She said "I miss the passionate spirit, your political vision

Quite honestly I wasn't offended by those references to women

But you're only continuing society's conditioning"

It hit the heart of me

I told her that this was part of me

I stand up for human rights, and treat others how I would wanna be treated

But every song can't be seepin' with freedom

'Cause the other side of me is sexist then people will feel that I'm preachin'

"Everything's peace and love?" uhh, that's somewhat misleading

Because this world is fucked-up and I'm a pro-duct to what I'm seeing

Not to justify, but just to touch on my being

I learn from these verses and my purpose gets surfaced with demons

Now I am sexist, I'm prejudice, I put that in my music

She said she heard that perspective, but before she turned around

She said "We have a flame, your fire's ignited with sound

Are you building the empire up, or using your fire to burn it down?"

[Chorus: x2]

Consumption, contradiction. I'm conflicted with being a hypocrite,

And through these songs you can witness it.

The differences, I admit this shit, because I'm just like you;

Walking a fine line between saying and living it.

[Overvoice:]

Light it up to burn it down, light it up to burn it down

Light it up to burn it down, down, down

Light it up to burn it down, light it up to burn it down

Light it up to burn it... down, down, down, down, down, down, down

Now one thing that I've always struggled on

Is how to incorporate drugs and alcohol into my music

Outside of sober songs

'Cause on that perspective, that's all over my records

But the other side isn't represented unless it sessions with XP

How can I admit that I love to smoke weed

Knowing the kids are listening and many of 'em look up to me?

Not to say that I'm a role model

But I know that words are power

And if I condone bottles and chronic, I am sending out the

Message "It's okay," hey I believe that it is. Chronic can be medicine

But it's all about your relationship with it

See I'm either off in the wagon riding and everyday with the spliff

Constantly looking for a balance but habit turns to addiction

And hip-hop music & weed: they're inseparable

So MCs that don't smoke or drink, talking about it to me seems questionable

It proves how much people just want to be accepted

And not seem straight-edge to their audience, so keeping it real is neglected

'Cause when I'm smoking, I wouldn't wanna bump a song like this

Put on some Devin, break out the Swishers and a bong and some licks

See that's a part of me too

And I know that I would make more money if I wasn't as true

To all the stuggles of the blunted consumption I'm going through

Make music for the party, and the people support you

I burn Brother Ali and buy 50, what does that say to you?

Bring it back around

Am I building the empire up or using my fire to burn it down?

[Chorus x2]
