I wanna be sober, but I love getting high
Wanna give it a hundred percent, but I’m too afraid to try
I wanna be faithful, but love hooking up with randos
I wanna live by the law, but still think like a vandal
I wanna get exercise, but I’m too lazy to workout
I want all the finer things, but don’t wanna go to work now
I wanna go outside, take my family to the beach
I wake up in the morning, first thing I do is look at a screen, at a screen

[Pre-Chorus: Macklemore]
Wanna live freely, why isn’t it so easy?
I should read a book, but I keep watching this TV
And I know this lifestyle doesn’t really feed me
I just tune out to the voice inside that’s speaking

[Chorus: Dan Caplen]
All my little problems keep on building up and building up
All my good intentions just ain’t good enough to find the love
So I smoke until my lungs are full
Drink until I lose my cool
Apology’s my middle name and one day, I will change
But I’m okay with who I am today
I’m okay with who I, who I am today

[Verse 2: Macklemore]
I want world piece, but I wanna watch Worldstar
I know that I should stay home and still wanna kick it where the girls are
I wanna be a feminist, but I’m still watching porno
I wanna eat healthy, but I’ma eat this Digiornos
We live on social media, read other people’s thoughts
Tweet about justice, but don’t show up to the march
I think about the earth and I think about the eco
What am I willing to sacrifice at the expense of my ego?

[Pre-Chorus: Macklemore]
Wanna live freely, why isn’t it so easy?
I should read a book, but I keep watching this TV
And I know this lifestyle doesn’t really feed me
I just tune out to the voice inside that’s speaking

[Chorus: Dan Caplen]
All my little problems keep on building up and building up
All my good intentions just ain’t good enough to find the love
So I smoke until my lungs are full
Drink until I lose my cool
Apology’s my middle name and one day, I will change
But I’m okay with who I am today
I’m okay with who I, who I am today
I’m okay with who I am today
I’m okay with who I, who I am today

Got a Guns N Roses t-shirt, and never listened to the band
Just being honest, I just though that sh*t looked cool
Hold up, do you know who I am?

[Verse 1: Macklemore]
Turn the block to Woodstock
Retire? Don’t think that I could stop
Jet-ski the way I ride the beat
[?] I’ma die knowing that I did me
I got some words and I cannot let them die in me
This is arena status
Our bones end up in the ground, does it even matter?
Make some good music, get what you put in
Get out and go and leave the planet
Now what the hell did you think this is?
We born worth dying, in-between we live
Love, prosper, hands to the sky, catch a gospel
Roll the dice, nah, I ain’t betting on tomorrow
Chain looking like Orion’s belt
Jacket looking something like a lion pelt
Had to take a break and find myself
They put me in a box by myself
The same writers criticizing my rhymes
Are the same writers that I gentrify in Bed-Stuy
I can’t even see the hate, I should probably check my eyes
I got 50,000 phones pointed at me in the sky

[Chorus: Reignwolf]
Between a rock and a hard place
Cold blunted with a stone face
Fire breather, fire breather
Born under a blood moon
But the sun is coming up soon
Fire breather, firebreather
Fire, fire, fire, fire, fire
Fire breather, fire breather
Fire, fire, fire, fire, fire
Fire breather, fire breather

[Verse 2: Macklemore]
What the f*ck you think I’m doing it for?
Hungry like it’s my rookie year, and I’m new to the sport
The game is tied up, they looking at you in the fourth
Do you take the shot or pass it, this is ten-thousand hours
And I’m working on my Master’s, liabilities, and assets
And I’m showing up to practice, shooting early, getting baskets
There’s no [?] to my style, I’m just a freckle-faced f*ck
The animal in the jungle, running, hunting with the habit (Woo)
Abracadabra that [?] was magic
[?] want it, Madonna is on me dancing
I’m sorry mama, I got it, I know I should mind my manners
I’d probably go double-platinum if I could think of an ad-lib
I’m jazz Prince, I rap a lot
I grew up on Scarface, now Brad’s my dog (Woo)
Irish goodbye, sayonara and we mobbing
Put the nail in the coffine, motherf*cker, I’m on one

[Chorus: Reignwolf]
Between a rock and a hard place
Cold blunted with a stone face
Fire breather, fire breather
Born under a blood moon
But the sun is coming up soon
Fire breather, firebreather
Fire, fire, fire, fire, fire
Fire breather, fire breather
Fire, fire, fire, fire, fire
Fire breather, yeah, fire breather

I know you’re troubled, girl, I seen you on Tumblr
February, dressing like a summer girl
Mini skirt on, no underwear
I wanna take you shopping, blow a bag of Prada
She say those clothes expensive, so we end up in Zara
Late night hit the city and we go out to Target
Like why we go to Target? This electric wheelchair’s poppin’
You read bell hooks and [?]
You make me quesadillas when I’m stressed
And be like, “Boy, you better clean up the mess
And take out the trash before you come back”
Stay in, amen, don’t fall asleep till the AM
Wake up in the morning in the prayers
Sunlight made its way in, gave me angels
And I hold ’em, paint a mural so golden
And my girl, she sweet as hell, but we’ll have a world star moment
Like I brought this bitch up, yes, you will, my darling
Type of girl fight for the family and jump in if there’s a problem
But not today, the ocean waves
I can’t complain, I hold her waist
My only ace until we’re old and gray
See, thats my baby

[Chorus: Abir]
Wave after wave, yeah
We’re catching the vibe, yeah, feeling alive, yeah
Ten out of ten, I know you down to ride, yeah
Always by my side, yeah
My baby, know I know had to hold you down for sure
You the only one, you the only one, yeah
You the only one, you the only one in my life
You the only one, you the only one, yeah
You the only one, you the only one in my life

[Verse 2: Macklemore]
And if you feel some type of way, then just say that, say that
I’m on my way to make it back, talking ASAP
And we can do all types of things in this Maybach
Kick off your shoes, relax your feet, while I play that (play what?)
That nineties R&B, yeah, house party, three
Come spend the night with me and bring your toiletries
You got your girls with you, I brought my boys with me
Playing that [?], Howard, and that Jodeci
Do you want a back rub, do you want a massage?
On my birthday, it’s my birthday
Do you think we can menage? Psyche
Held her by the wayside, so sweet
Let’s go have us some offspring
Girl, you flyer than a [?]
We ain’t doing a damn thing all day

[Chorus: Abir]
Wave after wave, yeah
We’re catching the vibe, yeah, feeling alive, yeah
Ten out of ten, I know you down to ride, yeah
Always by my side, yeah
My baby, know I know had to hold you down for sure
You the only one, you the only one, yeah
You the only one, you the only one in my life
You the only one, you the only one, yeah
You the only one, you the only one in my life

My troubles test me on the daily
They say that only God can save me
I think I’m slowly going under
But I won’t ever tell my bother
And now I wonder where’s the good gone?
‘Cause I can’t find no miracles ’til I go home
Oh, I wonder where’s the good gone?
Need to find me some hope
Where’s my miracle? Where’s my miracle?
Where’s my miracle?

[Verse 1: Macklemore]
It’s been a long night
I just might wake up on the wrong side
I tell myself that it’ll be alright
Sunlight peaking through the dark sky
Bottle it up, fall in the cut, all out of luck
Downing in this quicksand and I swallow mud
I taste temptation and I fall in and out of love
Grab her hand, taxi cab, in God we trust

[Pre-Chorus: Macklemore]
You can wish on all the star way up in the galaxy
They want you to fall apart so they can have a piece
I threw a hundred in a wishing well
And then I came back for a refund
Said all this pressure just might tip the scale
Seen it before, it’s just a re-run
So keep running, ay, I keep running

[Chorus: Dan Caplen]
My troubles test me on the daily
They say that only God can save me
I think I’m slowly going under
But I won’t ever tell my bother
And now I wonder where’s the good gone?
‘Cause I can’t find no miracles ’til I go home
Oh, I wonder where’s the good gone?
Need to find me some hope
Where’s my miracle? Where’s my miracle?

[Verse 2: Macklemore]
I got some secrets, I got some secrets
My palms together, praying, but I keep on thinking ’bout evil
Snake bit in blood, and the poison, it ain’t leaving
Wanna sabotage everything, [?]
If these walls could talk, they’d have a lot of blackmail
Is karma real or not? I can’t tell
The devil complimented me and said, “You dance well”
But prayers won’t save me, and neither will the fan mail
I’d be a sinner, but thank God I’m not religious
And I’m addicted, drugs and women, there’s no difference
I know the right, but the wrong is just so tempting
I’ve got a phobia, fear of what I’m missing, amen

[?] used to take us to Church
Saying if you don’t believe then the plan don’t work
With the beatbox I got free on the pavement, I burst
Music brought me to my knees, I found faith in a verse
So dear Spirit, I know I gotta take a chance
I know my mistakes and shortcomings finally make amends
I got some issues, I got problems, gotta make amends
I got a daughter, diggin’ to the Safety Dance
This sh*t right here, we call love
You can’t put that into words, but feel that in your gut
[?] one in my arms, fall in the sun
Kiss my daughter and say thank God as I wake up
Yeah I know now
And I’m aware that it goes down
Travelled around the globe and I needed to slow down
And no better feeling right around in my hometown

[Chorus: Xperience]
Hope I’m feeling this good when it’s Monday morning
Been doing my own thing
Can’t say that I’m sorry
And I can only pray that someday we will all be
More than just okay, we can be so free
And I can get fly with ya
Ride with ya, shine with ya, yeah
And I can get fly with ya
Ride with ya, shine with ya, yeah

[Verse 2: Macklemore]
Oh my God, oh my God
No other person on this earth could ever take my job
This my life, it was planned I can’t take it off
Bruised elbows, knees scraped, I learned to take a fall
My mistake, my mistake
Karma waits, karma waits
But I’ll be brave, I’ll be brave
The pain sees more than I can take, I can take
I learn more from loss than the gain, than the gain
New state of mind, I feel like taking my time
And that laidback reclines, still pushing that ’85
Like, windows down, city passing by, like a timelapse
The weatherman be tripping so that ceiling got that white rag, ay
We came so far
Just some kids in the city trying to make some art
Leave some change in the fountain, hope to make my mark
You see I was given a role, never played my part

[Chorus: Xperience]
Hope I’m feeling this good when it’s Monday morning
Been doing my own thing
Can’t say that I’m sorry
And I can only pray that someday we will all be
More than just okay, we can be so free
And I can get fly with ya
Ride with ya, shine with ya, yeah
And I can get fly with ya
Ride with ya, shine with ya, yeah

[Sample]
I can have a life. I have life today. I rely on that constant communication with my higher power, more so than anybody these days. And I realized, that’s kinda all I need. And then, of course, y’all appear, right, y’all appear and situations appear. And I realize, that’s God working through me, if I allow myself to be that vessel
