The Town - Macklemore [00:00:00]
Now when I say 2-0 you say[00:00:48]
Nah you know the rest[00:00:50]
This is our scene[00:00:52]
Our music our movement the history lives through us[00:00:53]
I write to the beat and let life play the guitar strings[00:00:56]
Despite the drama there's respect and camaraderie[00:00:59]
Every time one of my friends is mentioned in my philosophy[00:01:02]
It's a rite of passage I'm not trying to be corny[00:01:05]
I got love for sportn' life alpha p massline and onry[00:01:08]
Every time somebody steps out on the road[00:01:11]
They bring a little northwest soul with them amen[00:01:13]
Alright then just so you know[00:01:17]
I try to carry that everytime that I rock a show[00:01:18]
So turn my sound up[00:01:21]
Ricochet off our mountain[00:01:23]
It's good medicine that chief sealth would of been proud of[00:01:24]
This is our city town pride heart blood sweat tears i5[00:01:28]
North South side vibe live ride down these city blocks[00:01:31]
And never will be stopped[00:01:35]
They tryin' to shut down the clubs that my city rocks[00:01:36]
Now Mr mayor why would you enforce an ordinance[00:01:39]
Music it saves lives these kids out here are supporting it[00:01:41]
And through the art form we've learned the importance of community[00:01:44]
Truth to the youth so they know what's up[00:01:48]
Yup and as a public school student[00:01:51]
I learned from my teachers but became through my music[00:01:53]
Take that away that's a vital[00:01:56]
14 fathoms deep do the math tribal[00:01:58]
My greatest teachers beasope and bida[00:02:01]
Wordsayer was my mayor and things have changed[00:02:04]
But I carry the torch and what I do with that flame[00:02:07]
Is lit everytime that I step on the stage[00:02:10]
The skyline is etched in my veins[00:02:13]
You can never put that out no matter how hard it rains[00:02:15]
Northwest making you feel the vibe[00:02:18]
Check how seattle do[00:02:21]
Coming to my side[00:02:23]
I mean I like how y'all do thank you but we on to new[00:02:23]
Put it down for the town[00:02:27]
With music[00:02:28]
Making you feel the vibe[00:02:30]
Check how seattle do[00:02:32]
Coming to my side[00:02:34]
When my peeps know my crew bring the flame[00:02:36]
Put it down for the town[00:02:38]
Wearing that seattle blue[00:02:40]
That's right when you put on a show[00:02:42]
And watch the people seat in between the creases and the doors[00:02:44]
Hitting the melly or sneaking in 'cause they're broke[00:02:46]
Now leaving in between sets because a needing to smoke[00:02:49]
The reason being whatever[00:02:51]
The scene from beacon to everett[00:02:53]
Is in need of less ego when we kick it alright[00:02:55]
I get on stage style share my whole life[00:02:57]
Try to reach 'em at the bar where they're drinking miller lite[00:03:00]
But the kids in the front they bring out the passion dude[00:03:03]
Make noise throughout the show and not only when we ask 'em to[00:03:06]
I watch the older cats jaded in the back[00:03:09]
Hands clasped forgot when they weren't too cool to be a fan damn[00:03:12]
Hatin' at the concert[00:03:15]
You don't remember rkcndy watching heiro or vibing out to alkaholiks[00:03:16]
I know it's not the same it never will be[00:03:20]
But my my my my city's filthy[00:03:23]
And we've been truly d**e since supreme was up on broadway in the dookie rope[00:03:26]
Mean muggin' in sir mixalot's video[00:03:30]
Back when scene was rockin' house parties on the floor[00:03:33]
Jmg's sit n' spin and the paradox[00:03:36]
Back when market introduced geo to sabz[00:03:39]
So much has changed here so much has not[00:03:42]
I was just a kid hopin' I could earn my spot[00:03:45]
Try to get some props[00:03:47]
Meet a promoter who'll give me a shot[00:03:49]
To let me get up on stage and get the crowd to rock[00:03:51]
Read a page out my notebook[00:03:54]
What I thought would be respected they would connect with it[00:03:56]
Now looking over the city's the only thing that keeps me calm[00:03:59]
Scattered thoughts jotted down by this pen in my palm[00:04:02]
It's like my city stands still the world looks on[00:04:05]
If I could only capture it's beauty and put it in a song[00:04:08]
Northwest making you feel the vibe[00:04:11]
Check how seattle do[00:04:14]
Coming to my side[00:04:15]
I mean I like how y'all do thank you but we on to new[00:04:16]
Put it down for the town[00:04:20]
With music[00:04:21]
Making you feel the vibe[00:04:23]
Check how seattle do[00:04:25]
Coming to my side[00:04:27]
When my peeps know my crew bring the flame[00:04:28]
Put it down for the town[00:04:31]
Wearing that seattle blue[00:04:32]
