Macklemore and Ryan Lewis – Can't Hold Us Lyrics

Return of the Mac, get em
What it is
What it does
What it is
What it isn't
Looking for a better way to get up out of bed
Instead of getting on the internet and checking out who hit me, get up
Thrift shop, pimp strut walking
Little bit of humble, little bit of cautious
Somewhere between like Rocky and Cosby
Sweater game nope nope y’all can’t copy
Yup, Bad, moonwalking
This here, is our party
My posse's been on Broadway
And we did it our way
Grown music
I shed my skin and put my bones into everything I record to it
And yet I’m on
Let that stage light go and shine on down
Got that Bob Barker suit game and plinko in my style
Money, stay on my craft and stick around for those pounds
But, I do that to pass the torch and put on for my town
Trust me, on my I-N-D-E-P-E-N-D-E-N-T shit hustlin'
Chasing dreams since I was 14
With the four track bussing
Halfway cross that city with the backpack
Fat cat, crushing labels out here
Nah they can’t tell me nothing
We give that to the people
Spread it across the country
Labels out here
Nah they can’t tell me nothing
We give it to the people
Spread it across the country

[Hook x2: Ray Dalton]
Can we go back, this is the moment
Tonight is the night, we’ll fight till it’s over
So we put our hands up like the ceiling can’t hold us
Like the ceiling can’t hold us

[Verse 2]
Now can I kick it, thank you
Yeah I’m so damn grateful
I grew up, really wanted gold fronts
But that’s what you get when Wu-Tang raised you
Y’all can’t stop me
Go hard like I got an 808 in my heart beat
And I’m eating at the beat like you gave a little speed to a great white shark on shark week
Raw. Time to go off. I'm gone!
Deuces goodbye. I got a world to see, and my girl she wanna see Rome
Caesar make you a believer
Nah I never ever did it for a throne
That validation comes from giving it back to the people.
Nah sing a song and it goes like
Raise those hands, this is our party
We came here to live life like nobody was watching
I got my city right behind me, if I fall, they got me
Learn from that failure gain humility and then we keep marching I said

[Hook]

[Bridge x2]
Na na na na na na na na
And all my people say

Ma-ckle-e-e-e-e-more

[Hook]

[Music Video Ending x2]
Let the night come, before the fight's won
Some might run against the test
But those that triumph, embrace the fight cause
Their fears then prove that courage exists

Hope [x5]

Thrift Shop - MACKLEMORE LYRICS

I'm gonna pop some tags
Only got twenty dollars in my pocket
I-I-I'm huntin'
Lookin for a come up
This is fucking awesome

Walk into the club like what up I got a big cock
I'm so pumped I bought some shit from a thrift shop
Ice in the fringe is so damn frosty
The people like "Damn, that's a cold ass honkey!"
Rollin in hella deep headed to the mezanine
Dressed in all pink 'cept my gator shoes those are green
Draped in a leopard mink girls standin' next to me
Probably shoulda washed this it smells like R. Kelly's sheets
Pissssssssss
But shit it was 99 cents
If I get caught in it washin' it
Bout to go and get some compliments passin' off on those moccasins
Someone else has been walkin' in but me and grungie fuck em in
I am stuck in ya closet
Savin my money and I'm hella happy that's a bargain bitch
I'mma take your grandpa's style, I'mma take your grandpa's style,
No for real ask your grandpa can I have his hand-me-downs
Valore jump suit and some house slippers
Doukie brown leather jacket that I found diggin
They had a broken keyboard I bought a broken keyboard
I bought a skeet blanket and then I bought a kneeboard
Hello hello my ace man my mello
John Wayne ain't got nothin' on my fringe game
Hell no
I can take some pro wings make em cool sell those
The sneaker heads will be like
"Ahhh he got the velcro."

I'm gonna pop some tags
Only got twenty dollars in my pocket
I-I-I'm huntin'
Lookin for a come up
This is fucking awesome
I'm gonna pop some tags
Only got twenty dollars in my pocket
I-I-I'm huntin'
Lookin for a come up
This is fucking awesome

Whatcha know bout rockin' a wolf on your noggin
Whatcha knowin about wearin' a fur fox skin
I'm diggin I'm diggin I'm searching right through that luggage
One mans trash that's another mans come up
Thank your grand dad for donating that plaid button
Up shirt cause right now I'm up in her skirt
I'm at the Goodwill you can find me in the
I'm not I'm not stuck on searching in that section
Your Grammy your auntie your momma you mammy
I'll take those flannel zebra jammies secondhand I rock that mothafucka
The built a onesie with the socks on the mothafucka
I hit the party and they stopped in that mothafucka
They be like oh that's guchi that's hella tight.
I'm like Yo! that's $50 for a t-shirt
Limited edition lets to some simple addition
$50 for a t-shirt that's just some ignorant bitch (sheeeeit)
I call that getting swindled and pimped (sheeeit)
I call that getting tricked by a business
That shirts hella dope
And havin the same one as six other people in this club is a hella don't
Peep game come take a look through my telescope
Tryna get girls with my brand man you hella wont

From that thrift shop down the road
I wear your granddads clothes

From that thrift shop down the road

I'm gonna pop some tags
Only got twenty dollars in my pocket
I-I-I'm huntin'
Lookin for a come up
This is fucking awesome
