Macklemore & Ryan Lewis - Victory Lap Lyrics
And they say, don't forget where you come fromDon't die, holding on to your wordsCause you know, that you got a whole world to changeBut understand who you gotta change firstAnd I was like ***** that, humility bust backI remember the days with nothing but a bus passI was just a little Shawty just hoping that I could find a bumto buy a forty for me and have enough for a bud sackYeah, and I dance in that instrumentalUnorthodox like ... with a pencilGive me a microphone and a beat boxI can vent to... music the only medium that I can find myself throughRack loose, sipping on some lean, I would let looseLooking in the mirror, watching myself loseClean up in '08, I got a job making believe minimum wageDigging into that page.Hit the road with RL; performing in front of eightPeople, and that shit will check your egoI better run that time on watching our EPgo from nothing to getting us booked around the countryI know no limits, life can change in an instantEight people turn into sold out shows in a minuteNow I'm watching my pops in the back row grinningWith his glass up to my mom, toasting his GuinessAnd we on, we on, good music get lost in the ambiance.One day we'll leave here, but these words live onTill then we'll keep on making the songsSo put them up up, up, so highput them up up, up, so highput them up up, up, so highput them up up, up, so highput them up up, up, so highput them up up, up, so highI remember that freshman edition, last year thinking to myselfLike yeah, nah I won't win it yet, I prolly won't get itBut I'ma give it everything, play my positionThe next eleven months I gave it all, everything I had in meLeft blood sweat and tears in every god damn cityNo label, no deal, no publicist, IndiThere's music that connected and fans that rode with meThrow me a gold mine, and a co signWhile you're riding a couple of dope rides2 women both dimes, not gonna lie, that shit sounds so niceBut I got creative control, in my soul's mindI wouldn't trade it, maybe I'm crazyI put on for my city, Seattle that raised me.I grew up nineteen-thousand and eighty so really not changingNowadays making music, the people are your labelSo put them up up, up, so highput them up up, up, so highput them up up, up, so highput them up up, up, so highput them up up, up, so highput them up up, up, so highAnd they say, don't forget where you come fromDon't die, holding on to your wordsCause you know, that you got a whole world to changeBut understand that you gotta change firstSo 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.
