And they say  Don't forget where you come from
Don't die holding on to your words
Cause you know you got a whole world to change
But understand who you got to change first
And I was like  Fuck that  humility bust back
I was just a little shorty hoping that I could find a bum to buy a 40 for me
And have enough for a bud sack
Yeah  and I dance on that instrumental
Unorthodox like Basquiat with the pencil
Give me a microphone and a beat box I could vent to
Music the only medium that I could find myself through
Recluse  sipping on some lean I would let loose
Looking in the mirror, watching myself lose
Cleaned up in  08  got a job making barely minimum wage
To get into that page
Hit the road with RL  performing in front of 8 people
And that shit will check your ego
About around that time I'm watching that EP go
From nothing to getting us booked around the country
I know no limits  life can change in an instant
8 People turn into sold out shows in a minute
And I'm watching my pops in the back row grinning
With his glass up to my mom  toasting this Guinness
And we on (we on)
Good music  it lies in the ambiance
When we leave here
Will these words live on
Till then  we keep on making the songs
So put them  up up up up up (so high)
I remember that Freshman edition
Last year thinking to myself like
Yah  nah  I won't win it yet
Probably won't get it  but I'm gonna give it everything
Play my position
The next 11 months I gave it all everything I had in me
Left blood  sweat  tears in every god damn city
No label  no deal  no publicist, indie
Just music that connected and fans that rode with me
Throw me a gold mine  and a co-sign
While you're riding a couple dope rides
2 women  both dimes
Not gonna lie  that shit sounds so nice
But I got creative control and my souls mine
I wouldn't trade it  maybe I'm crazy
I put on for my city
Seattle that raised me
Rule 4080  it's really not changing
Now a days make good music, the people are your label
So put them  up up up up up (so high)
Oh my god  feels like a victory lap

Can I have that moment
Can I talk my shit
And they say  Don't forget where you come from
Don't die holding on to your words
Cause you know you got a whole world to change
But understand who you got to change first"
Put them  up up up up up
Up  up up  up up
Up  up up  up up
Macklemore  Ryan Lewis  Seattle
Put them  up up up up up
Up  up up  up up (so high)
