Macklemore - Polarity lyrics

[Verse 1: Zumbi] Dark versus light, good versus evil Man versus woman, planet Earth upheaval Jew vs. m**m, Norte Sur, Blood versus Crip everywhere more war Primitive man versus civilized savage One's a Pope and the other one lives lavish Light skin versus dark skin, East versus West Blessed with balance or you're cursed with stress Much success or pray your life possessed but Many are afraid to face life's true tests (huh) Spirit over flesh, Hard to make it manifest The government will press the best and brightest G-O-D got a place inside of me But it's Church versus State, and they hate it when you're free The opposition might rock your brain The universal is a circle and everything soon change [Hook] The world never changed for me It's the same in the place to be The world never changed for me It's the same in the place to be The world's made of opposites Opposites are the world, are the world, are the world [Verse: Macklemore] We can appear the opposite, or wish that we were them Either hate them or be the lies, that other people live Contrast the human when you see the soul behind their skin Take away the pew and see they pray like them Maybe the cross and the Qu'ran isn't so different Maybe these lines are make believe and the opposite is pretend Just a man-made law with a flaw in that gem I give you the truth and everyone else is sin Get off it, thinkin' that perspective is godsend I'm from the city where they invented the mosh pit And when I fell my people they pulled me up And told me you got a job to do it's all part of the process I needed to starve, before I could eat again I needed addiction to learn what freedom is Lost perspective so I had to fix a lens To learn that a leader knows himself and the opposite [Hook] The world never changed for me It's the same in the place to be The world never changed for me It's the same in the place to be The world's made of opposites Opposites are the world, are the world, are the world [Verse: Locksmith) Uh, feels good to do a feature With someone I respect that I honestly have a keeper Sense of admiration I'm activating my artistry To sacrifice style and show you a different part of me Pardon me when I part the sea with my verse n***as selling they soul to hear me converse It's hard to bare, when people pay me to share But I always put musical marriage before commerce Bomb first like Pac in his day, like I'm rocking his Jays Hawk in your face, Copy display I'm lyrically polished freeing pockets of slaves I can raise Christopher Wallace from up out of his grave Uh, so what's the opposite of real? If Oprah's a mammy than Tyra's a Jezebel For ? a Diva ? The people begging for balance but they tippin' the scale Oh well.. [Hook] The world never changed for me It's the same the place to be The world never changed for me It's the same the place to be The world's made of opposites Opposites are the world, are the world, are the world
