[Intro]
Alright, I feel like rapping tonight, one time, now

[Verse]
I bought an old Rolls Royce in a color I didn't like
'Cause it was fresher than a Honda and faster than a bike
I coulda bought a new one but then I saw the price
And I was like: "Shit, that's a house in Fife"
I can't do that, that's like spending two racks
On a pair of SB dunks that Travis Scott wore once in a McDonald's food ad
Doesn't sit right like a white dude in a do-rag
With cornrows under a Fubu hat
Screaming suwoo fam
Who the fuck are you, damn
Go back to the burbs and chill on the YouTube chat
Back in my day you got jumped trying to do that
Curb stopped for the N-word, don't use that
The internet got everybody cozy
Likе in real life, you won't get sockеd in the dome piece
Tough in the bio when you wildin' with the homies
But deep down you're idle, tired, and lonely
Shit, I am too
The worlds in a shortage of real music, real people, real importance
Like God got drunk on a bunch of coronas
And ashed his backwood on a California forest
Shit, we're late on the mortgage
Praying for no more of the bigot in the orange wig
Anyone else, if we settle, we settle
Biden is better than the devil
It's easy to get apathetic to the moment we're having
And white supremacy loves it some white liberal pacifists
Oh, we can silence shit we've been silenced
And posting a black square doesn't make you an activist
Share your seat
Listen and take action
And be on the right side of history when your grandkids sit on your lap
And ask about how 2020 was
And you tell 'em it was fucked
But at least we stood up for somethin'
Police we defund and not expose the corrupt
The system should be up and cut and never return to what it was
To get to better days we gotta get through fucked up ones
And for the last 6 months we've been stuck in one
But I think it's changing all in all
Come November you better be putting your mask on
We gotta vote
I'm just like you, no excuse
Schedule free 'cause I got no job to go to

[Outro]
2020
Woo!

Macklemore

Macklemore is probably best known for his creative musical endeavor with producer Ryan Lewis which spawned the number one hits “Can’t Hold Us” (six million copies sold, multi-platinum) and “Thrift Shop” (ten million copies sold, multi-platinum, viewed more than a billion times on Youtube) in 2012. But there is more to him than a radio hit and a meme song.

Born June 19, 1983 as Ben Haggerty, the Seattle native of Irish descent has been releasing music independently since 2000. Formerly known as “Professor Macklemore”, he bonded with Ryan Lewis in 2008. The rapper-producer-duo gained a significant online fanbase before making their mainstream breakthrough and gaining international recognition.

Their debut studio album The Heist, released 2012, was a major commercial success, charting #2 on the US Billboard 200 charts, selling 78,000 copies in the first week. It also won a Grammy for best rap album, one which was heatedly debated.
