Tekst piosenki
[Verse 1: Macklemore] Yo, we all know that life can get hectic But if you live in the second You exist in the present And that's how you stay connected Through good times and hardships if you learn to just accept it And know that every struggle in life is there to teach you a lesson It's times like this that make you It's always the darkest part of the night right before the sun has its breakthrough The spirit's there to knock you down, but if you make that the end You'll never know the beauty of being able to stand up again And face it with patience The basis is dealing with judgements and hatred, depressed hopeless feelings But I've been told that you only create your own ceiling And life is limitless and knowing this is what the spirit is [Hook: Macklemore] That's why I try and inhale deep So I can find peace In essence just find me That's why I lose myself in these beats As I become one with the drum and set myself free [Verse 2: Macklemore] Whatever direction life leads me There's a purpose behind it, that's the way it was supposed to be At anytime you could turn over a new leaf We all know the truth, it's up to us to use the key It's been three years since my first album dropped And it's been fear that's really got me stuck in this spot Not wanting to put out anything whack So instead of putting my licks on tracks I put my lips to a sack Cause it's easier to spend your life drunk and high on drugs Than to put everything in a recording, put it out, and then get judged We look for the audience to put their hands up and show love But when their hands go down, our confidence really takes the plunge So instead of making music that people might not like I went into isolation and traded in my mic for the pipe Started living the college life - drinking and smoking every day Rationalizing to myself that I was going through a phase That I'd stop, thinking my music would take its place But when you live in fog, inspiration's hard to create It takes more to get connected than to quit smoking for a day And when I get frustrated I get a Swisher and get blown away Then all of a sudden it hit me: these kids are listening If I'm not making music then why the fuck am I existing? How can I talk about the problems of something else When I don't have the motivation and confidence to change myself? It's been so long since I really truly felt What it's like to live life without substances to help Massive struggle, that's natural to one's health But with addiction in my blood, I play the cards I was dealt Knowing that it's the most calm right before the storm And when you least expect it, it doesn't rain it pours I swear to God you can never be warned And with or without umbrella nature's still gonna' take its course [Hook] That's why I try and inhale deep So I can find peace In essence just find me That's why I lose myself in these beats Put away the weed and turn to my M.P.C
