[Instrumental] [Verse 1: Macklemore] Return of the Mack Get 'em, what it is, what it does, what it is, what it isn't Looking for a better way to get up out of bed Instead of getting on the Internet and checking a new hit me, get up Thrift shop, pimp strut walking Little bit of humble, little bit of cautious Somewhere between like Rocky and Cosby Sweater game nope nope y'all can't copy Yup, Bad, moonwalking, this here is our party My posse's been on Broadway, and we did it our way Grown music, I shed my skin and put my bones Into everything I record to it and yet I'm on Let that stage light go and shine on down Got that Bob Barker suit game and plinko in my style Money, stay on my craft and stick around for those pounds But, I do that to pa** the torch and put on for my town Trust me, on my I-N-D-E-P-E-N-D-E-N-T sh** hustlin' Chasing dreams since I was fourteen With the four-track, bussing Halfway cross that city with the backpack Fat cat, crushing labels out here, nah, they can't tell me nothing We give that to the people, spread it across the country Labels out here, nah they can't tell me nothing We give it to the people, spread it across the country [Hook: Ray Dalton] Can we go back, this is the moment Tonight is the night, we'll fight 'til it's over So we put our hands up like the ceiling can't hold us Like the ceiling can't hold us [Hook: Ray Dalton] Can we go back, this is the moment Tonight is the night, we'll fight 'til it's over So we put our hands up like the ceiling can't hold us Like the ceiling can't hold us [Verse 2: Macklemore] Now can I kick it, thank you Yeah, I'm so damn grateful I grew up really wanting gold fronts But that's what you get when Wu-Tang raised you Y'all can't stop me Go hard like I got a 808 in my heart beat And I'm eating at the beat like you gave a little speed To a great white shark on Shark Week, raw! Tell me go up, gone, deuces, goodbye, I got a world to see And my girl, she wanna see Rome, Caesar'll make you a believer Nah, I never, ever did it for a throne, that validation comes From giving it back to the people, now sing a song and it goes like Raise those hands, this is our party We came here to live life like nobody was watching I got my city right behind me, if I fall, they got me Learn from that failure, gain humility, and then we keep marching, I said [Hook: Ray Dalton] Can we go back, this is the moment Tonight is the night, we'll fight 'til it's over So we put our hands up like the ceiling can't hold us Like the ceiling can't hold us [Hook: Ray Dalton] Can we go back, this is the moment Tonight is the night, we'll fight 'til it's over So we put our hands up like the ceiling can't hold us Like the ceiling can't hold us And so we put our hands up And so we put our hands up Oh, oh, oh, oh.....
