Macklemore - Translucent Truth lyrics

Blame it on the noise Blame it on the toys Blame it on three stripes Mics the right of pa**age For the b-boy Consistent, twists, flips, licks Quick was the switch The record from the ritual typical lyrical same old sk** bulllsh** Criticize all you want Go ahead But if everyone is taught to doubt the rap then this culture will inevitably definitely be dead So do something, take action and then diss For it's people like you that are putting this art form in jeopardy questioning if it exists It's alive and well Still breathing, still heating The habitual like any creation or movement transcends nations And it's still teaching Still reaching With diverse and positive vibes Ricocheting off the walls of venues Keeping this culture alive Crushing the lies Thought it was gone? Surprise Obviously you missed the message Ancient spoken tradition but musicians glisten on the stage Cover the universal projector of the voice As if they can dodge the artificial ecstasy craze s**ing on nookies at raves I have no patience for those who Really do not know who They are And act a certain way because they feel like they're supposed to I remain close to A chosen few who the spirit has spoke to The God has been provoked soon The faith will change their ways. X2 The journal is my sanctuary Sacrilegious testimonies Praisin' the powers crossed spiritually Enhancing this ground globally Kneeling on bended knee Focused on the realm of thought chi That will has And will always take me to the peak of a pointical prophesy Arrangement of voices Accompanying the music in an engagement Choir poet To inspire the dreams delivering this eye as in embraced with A message Words and meaning nervous from the nectar fruit Picked fresh off the tree ripe from the two bo six oh four sectors Peace to Hector Those who laid the foundation Never broken the sea of friends From start till d**h do us part eternally through eternity I feel From front rows at shows to family meals Rides and automobiles Which have manifested from taking spills on training wheels Our memories will last forever And I couldn't take with thought banks To all of my friends I'm looking forward to the future when I will forever give thanks Those memories will last forever And I couldn't take with thought banks To all of my friends I'm looking forward to the future when I will forever give my thanks Chorus X2 The energy flows from the cord to man Women and children Those who you have spent your whole life building a relationship with Can end As quick as a sandwich Your trust melted While drowning in betrayal and disbelief You see who is really your friends This world is full of selfish sapiens, slithering snakes Who will take your trust, lure you with this bait And sell you out for their personal sake Built on hate, smiles and popular facades Quick to stab you in the back with the object that you thought your relationship was built on I got your back, and you got mine cuz we're homies Not need to greed and selfish needs I question who really even knows me Myself And when I'm by myself And I need someone plus myself Will they sacrifice theirself to help? Oh I see If that's the way it's got to be I guess I was a fool to a**ume that we'd be down until eternity Oh I see If that's the way it's got to be I guess in the end the only person I can truly count on is me Chorus X2
