Kiwi - NxNW Remix lyrics

[Verse 1: MC Geologic] Now we live from the side of the last of the four corners Just short of the northern international border Was born a town upon the pond that all the people call The Sound It's time to call ‘em out, you standin' up or fallin' down? Saba dug inside a crate and Jake responded, he was on it We interpreted the sample, canceled The opportunist on the corner acting stupid We plotting to take it back The crying and dedication on Gentrification Ave No imitation of way back, preservationist rap We honor the past maybe to move it toward the future From fresh tracks to Emerald Street, its foundation And Mr. Anthony Grey paved the way and now we chase him But they didn't have the patience to place it as a priority Herbs and haters never have served the greater majority Words will never capture the glory of our story Performing but never forgetting who came before me In the Northwest, Northwest, Northwest, Northwest [Verse 2: DJ Sabzi] I'm from the city where it rains at Where we bring the pain at Put you lame cats where the lames at We fly, we fresh, we hood And in the Northwest, Seattle … I'm good with that nonsense See I'm on everything constant So you better ask him who I'm is The lost city is the last one standing We came through the forks so the crown we demand it [Verse 3: Kiwi] The town is enhancing at the current date and time And in the state of refinement definitive way to climb When its sink or swim You want to test us? Better think again Going hard ‘til we reach the end One day at a time I just move faster, I just move forward, I just move past ya This is a new chapter from here on after 206, North by Northwest, we [?] [Verse 4: Thig Natural] I'm from the city of rain and we came to spit flame But come equipt with many mix that could solicit your dame I'm kind of sick with it mane I'm from the city where you probably find ‘em twisted in chain I keep it natural that's the name I love my town so damn much I never change But I will speak to you through rhythms and over melodies Travel the Emerald City with visions that you'll never see And clowns that front ain't worth my energy So here's the remedy Northwest, northwest, northwest, northwest [Verse 5: Macklemore] I was that kid on 23rd and Alder With the ghettoblaster, got jacked, ran and told my mama Came back, quarterback, playing Steve Largent With lines and stay on your mind like Brian Bosworth Aw heck no, this the best coast Since Vita was ridin' rays on the metro One radio station they're really not playing it We need Kube like we need to build another stadium From Chop to Showbox to the spots that we playin' at We rock it like this rock, rock turn it hella quickly There really isn't anything that you could tell my city The crowds gonna be like, “Oh wow, that was hella filthy” ("That was hella filthy, though") I brought my shelltoes with me, long-a** march, but the clientele's listening Now while I'm at it I'll throw in a backpack Put the Northwest on the map, then go out and sell fifty [Hook x2] Anybody contest, North by Northwest And it's still no rest cause we're not finished yet We're broke, but not broken Cold, but not frozen Lost but not forgotten, we're kickin' the doors open
