Jimmy Iovine - Macklemore & Ryan Lewis (麦克莫和瑞恩·刘易斯)/Ab-Soul[00:00:00]
I put my life on the line[00:00:14]
I'm on and bassin' I'm fine[00:00:17]
Cuz all I ever dreamt about was making it[00:00:19]
They ain't giving it I'm taking it[00:00:23]
I'm taking it taking it I ain't giving it[00:00:25]
I'm taking it taking it I ain't giving it[00:00:28]
I'm taking it taking it I ain't giving it[00:00:31]
I'm taking it taking it I need all that sh*t[00:00:34]
Nobody winnin' this slogurr[00:00:44]
The police would've noticed[00:00:45]
Gotta be strategic I'm creepin'[00:00:46]
Go and leave with that motive[00:00:48]
Hold up my plan is stormin'[00:00:49]
All right casin' this building[00:00:51]
Watch these rappers that rap[00:00:52]
And walk in and leave that with millions[00:00:54]
Cut of that sweater open that front door[00:00:55]
And it's gold printed out by the entrance door closes[00:00:57]
Then a metaphor then I start chorus[00:00:59]
That part that's right meaning shotgun[00:01:01]
Dressed in an uniform looking like a janitor[00:01:02]
All blue jumpsuit why shoot [00:01:04]
Bloodthirsty and I'm bloody like a bull[00:01:05]
Looking in the eyes of the matador (f**k you )[00:01:06]
Carrying 2 cans of paint[00:01:08]
Security looks at me awkward[00:01:09]
I say third floor I'm late[00:01:11]
Painting Jimmy Iovine's office[00:01:13]
Holdin' my breath 'bout to fade[00:01:13]
I'm scared to death that he stops me[00:01:16]
Heart beating so loud you can hear the echo in that lobby[00:01:17]
And see I'm breakin' down if I don't make it out[00:01:20]
Then I'm leaving town with that contract[00:01:22]
And I'm spazzing out I'm either in or out[00:01:24]
This chair and I'm taking them hostage[00:01:25]
I don't give a f**k step into the elevator press three[00:01:26]
Now I'm headed up (east)[00:01:29]
Where they don't know there's a gun I the paint can[00:01:30]
And I'm ready and willing to bust 'em f**k'n desperate[00:01:32]
Stuck in this recession not what you think[00:01:34]
But if I sell out my luck is destined[00:01:36]
Might future depends on ink[00:01:38]
And secretary at the front of the entrance staring right at me[00:01:39]
I walk up she whispers go ahead and then gives me a wink[00:01:42]
I put my life on the line[00:01:46]
I'm on and bassin' I'm fine[00:01:49]
Cuz all I ever dreamt about was making it[00:01:53]
They ain't giving it I'm taking it[00:01:55]
I'm taking it taking it I ain't giving it[00:01:59]
I'm taking it taking it I ain't giving it[00:02:01]
I'm taking it taking it I ain't giving it[00:02:04]
I'm taking it taking it I need all that sh*t[00:02:08]
I go past security the secretary the cubicals[00:02:11]
But it's weird it's like this room I've walked into is unusual[00:02:14]
Thought it'd be shiny and beautiful[00:02:17]
Thought it'd be alive and like musical[00:02:18]
But it feels like someone died it's got the vibe of a funeral[00:02:19]
There's numbers on the chalkboard[00:02:22]
CD's box they cardboard[00:02:25]
Artists they foxed that got dropped and never got to be sophomores[00:02:26]
Cover designers are sitting around[00:02:30]
Waiting for albums that never come out[00:02:30]
Complainin' that they have nobody in house[00:02:33]
Wonderin' what they make art for[00:02:34]
I start thinking am I in the right place Just walk forwards[00:02:36]
See clocks on the wall[00:02:39]
Oh yea and the second dose will be all yours[00:02:40]
Finally see an office with a melted sign heaven sent[00:02:42]
Big block silver letters read it out loud: President[00:02:45]
This was my chance to grab that contract and turn and jack[00:02:48]
Right then felt a cold hand grab on the back of my neck[00:02:51]
He said: we've been watching you so glad you could make it[00:02:54]
Your music it's so impressive and this whole brand you created[00:02:57]
You one hell of a band we here think you're destined for greatness[00:03:00]
And with that right song we all know that you're next to be famous[00:03:03]
Now I'm sorry I've had a long day[00:03:07]
Remind me now what your name is [00:03:08]
That's right Macklemore[00:03:10]
Of course today has been crazy[00:03:11]
Anyway you ready [00:03:13]
We'll give you a hundred thousand dollars[00:03:14]
After your album comes out we'll need back that money that you borrowed[00:03:16]
So it's really like a loan a loan Come on[00:03:19]
No we're a team 360 degrees we will reach your goals[00:03:22]
You'll get it done in the merch that you sell out on the road[00:03:25]
Along with the third of the money you make when you're out doing your show[00:03:28]
Manager gets 20 booking agent gets 10[00:03:32]
So sh*t after taxes you and Ryan have 7% [00:03:34]
To split [00:03:38]
That's not bad I've seen a lot worse[00:03:39]
No one will give you a better offer than us[00:03:41]
I replied I appreciate the offer though that this is what I wanted[00:03:43]
Rather be a starving artist than succeed at getting f**ked[00:03:47]
