Macklemore & Ryan Lewis - Victory Lap

And they say, don't forget where you come from

Don't die, holding on to your words

Cause you know, that you got a whole world to change

But understand who you gotta change first

And I was like ***** that, humility bust back

I remember the days with nothing but a bus pass

I was just a little Shawty just hoping that I could find a bum

to buy a forty for me and have enough for a bud sack

Yeah, and I dance in that instrumental

Unorthodox like ... with a pencil

Give me a microphone and a beat box

I can vent to... music the only medium that I can find myself through

Rack loose, sipping on some lean, I would let loose

Looking in the mirror, watching myself lose

Clean up in '08, I got a job making believe minimum wage

Digging into that page.

Hit the road with RL; performing in front of eight

People, and that shit will check your ego

I better run that time on watching our EP

go from nothing to getting us booked around the country

I know no limits, life can change in an instant

Eight people turn into sold out shows in a minute

Now I'm watching my pops in the back row grinning

With his glass up to my mom, toasting his Guiness

And we on, we on, good music get lost in the ambiance.

One day we'll leave here, but these words live on

Till then we'll keep on making the songs

So put them up up, up, so high

put them up up, up, so high

put them up up, up, so high

put them up up, up, so high

put them up up, up, so high

put them up up, up, so high

I remember that freshman edition, last year thinking to myself

Like yeah, nah I won't win it yet, I prolly won't get it

But I'ma give it everything, play my position

The next eleven months I gave it all, everything I had in me

Left blood sweat and tears in every god damn city

No label, no deal, no publicist, Indi

There's music that connected and fans that rode with me

Throw me a gold mine, and a co sign

While you're riding a couple of dope rides

2 women both dimes, not gonna lie, that shit sounds so nice

But I got creative control, in my soul's mind

I wouldn't trade it, maybe I'm crazy

I put on for my city, Seattle that raised me.

I grew up nineteen-thousand and eighty so really not changing

Nowadays making music, the people are your label

So put them up up, up, so high

put them up up, up, so high

put them up up, up, so high

put them up up, up, so high

put them up up, up, so high

put them up up, up, so high

And they say, don't forget where you come from

Don't die, holding on to your words

Cause you know, that you got a whole world to change

But understand that you gotta change first

So put them up up, up,

put them up up, up,

put them up up, up,

put them up up, up,

put them up up, up,

put them up up, up, so high.
