- Macklemore I Said Hey - Original 歌詞
- 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 cant 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 dont know where to start Its 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 dont care who you are, where youre from or what you believe in But if you love hip hop I bet its more or less for the same reason This is it when you spit you exist in that moment And if youre 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 Im an emcee, wont be the first wont be the last Just another b-boy and Im a die in my stance If you got a pen and a pad put your heart down Ifyou 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 youre fast kick that Ill 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 dont ever put your hands down Dont put your hands down, keep that shit up Were 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 dont know if its the clothes , the hoes, or the cars That makes people rap like theyre trapped inside of these bars This shit aint complicated man just be who you are To busy searching for the light and missing the fact that youre a star Now whos got passion now stand the hell up Cause I want to hear somebody rapping whos got it inside their cuts Or you can get intricate displaying your fancy cadences But if youre not speaking the truth you might as well not be saying shit I said whos going to teach the kids? Youd 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 cant 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 Theyll 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 dont speak me Whats the difference between my lyrics and what you hearin on MTV People fear that if theyre steering away from the mainstream Then their album wont sell Well I could give a fuck Im just goin to freestyle and spit whats in my gut And if you want to you can go and label me conscious But remember theres a kid at a bus stop beat boxin Whos life will be effected by whats 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 youre fast kick that Ill 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 dont ever put your hands down
