Macklemore - Ten Million lyrics

[Verse 1] I paid my dues, now I’m really on ? to the SEA put my city on Left the condo for a bigger home Everything clean like my chicken bones I work hard, I work hard for it Had to go back to the chalkboard We was touring countries all foreign Now I don’t gotta open car doors So say whats up to my haters at the club tonight I’ll be busy singing my daughter lullaby’s When she sleep, I hit the booth and get super lit Living my dreams like I sleep in another life Living my dreams like I sleep in another life, yeah The tensions so thick, you could cut with a bu*ter knife, yeah If that’s your example of artists, then what am I? You lied to consumer, you say that you booming That’s probably why Metro don’t trust you, gosh [Hook/Chorus] I am not surprised, I am not surprised, yeah Had to optimize, then monopolize, yeah We turn out the lights then we come alive, yeah All these dollar signs, ain’t no 9 to 5, yeah I am not surprised, I am not surprised, yeah Had to optimize, then monopolize, yeah We turn out the lights then we come alive, yeah All these dollar signs, ain’t no 9 to 5, yeah [Verse 2] 10 million sold, go and look at that Ain’t no middleman gonna get any of that I s** at math, but I know how to add (one plus one) That’s a whole lotta money Bought my baby’s mama mama a pad Wow, it was (?) on stage looking like the white James Brown There’s a whole lotta people in this arena and you know it sold out Took my daughter on the road and she pointing’ at me from the crowd Saying, “That’s my daddy, top 5 on stage,” no doubt In God we trust, God we trust They ain’t came in the same way They are not with us, not with us Came back and it’s game time This the follow-up, and now I’m up I decided that was not enough Dopps and Boodo with that final touch Competition, go and line ’em up I run this s--t, I run this s--t Put that on my momma I done this s--t, I done this s--t since I was pushing a Honda No one hit s--t, no one hit s--t, platinum plaques in mi casa And my accountant’s dead (rest in peace) Couldn’t count the commas [Hook/Chorus] I am not surprised, I am not surprised, yeah Had to optimize, then monopolize, yeah We turn out the lights then we come alive, yeah All these dollar signs, ain’t no 9 to 5, yeah I am not surprised, I am not surprised, yeah Had to optimize, then monopolize, yeah We turn out the lights then we come alive, yeah All these dollar signs, ain’t no 9 to 5, yeah [Outro] Gemini
