Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Macklemore, Ryan Lewis, Evan Roman - A Wake (feat. Evan Roman)(2012)

[00:00.90] I need love
[00:02.60] You need love
[00:04.82] Give me love
[00:06.78] And I'll give you my love
[00:10.68]
[00:28.35] They say thirty is the new twenty
[00:30.62] And twenty is the new thirty shit I guess
[00:32.82] Makes sense, cause fifteen year olds seem twenty
[00:35.32] And twenty five year olds seem ten
[00:37.59] I used to drink away my paycheck
[00:39.97] Celebrate the mistakes I hadn't made yet
[00:42.35] Our generation isn't the best on safe sex
[00:44.54] We forget the latex, becoming Planned Parenthood patients
[00:47.91] Synthetic heroin is the new basshead
[00:50.05] So much to escape, fuck a straight edge
[00:52.50] Walk around looking through a fake lens
[00:54.78] Apps this good, whose got time to make friends?
[00:57.16] I wish I didn't care
[00:59.58] And cynical hipsters with long hair
[01:01.44] Cocaine problems, like my music
[01:03.48] It's not my issue, I can't solve it
[01:05.92] My flight has finally landed down
[01:10.46] And the ground has stopped moving all around
[01:16.56] Eyes open, awake for the very first time
[01:21.91] We both forfeit this game of crime
[01:25.65] They say it's so refreshing to hear somebody on records
[01:27.85] No guns, no drugs, no sex, just truth
[01:30.23] The guns that's America, the drugs are what they gave to us
[01:32.58] And sex sells itself, don't judge her 'til it's you
[01:35.14] Ah, I'm not more or less cautious
[01:37.59] The rappers rappin' 'bout them strippers up on the pole, copping
[01:40.02] These interviews are obnoxious
[01:41.84] Saying that it's poetry is so well spoken, stop it
[01:44.98] I grew up during Reaganomics
[01:47.25] When Ice T was out there runners killing cop shit
[01:49.33] Or Rodney King was getting beat on
[01:51.23] And they let off every single officer
[01:52.98] And Los Angeles went and lost it
[01:54.45] Now every month there is a new Rodney on Youtube
[01:56.95] It's just something our generation is used to
[01:59.07] And neighbourhoods where you never see a news crew
[02:01.12] Unless they're gentrifying, white people don't even cruise through
[02:03.81] And my subconcious telling me stop it
[02:06.11] This is an issue that you shouldn't get involved in
[02:08.54] Don't even tweet, R.I.P Trayvon Martin
[02:10.66] Don't wanna be that white dude, million man marchin'
[02:13.22] Fighting for our freedom that my people stole
[02:15.82] Don't wanna make all my white fans uncomfortable
[02:17.73] But you don't even have a fuckin' song for radio
[02:19.91] Why you out here talkin race, tryin' to save the fuckin' globe
[02:22.67] Don't get involved with the causes in mind
[02:25.13] White priveledge, white guilt, at the same damn time
[02:27.23] So we just party like it's nineteen ninty nine
[02:29.53] Celebrate the ignorance while these kids keep dying
[02:31.98] My flight has finally landed down
[02:36.25] And the ground has stopped moving all around
[02:41.59] Eyes open, awake for the very first time
[02:47.44] We both forfeit this game of crime
[02:52.55]
[03:00.19] I need love
[03:03.07] You need love
[03:05.48] Give me love
[03:07.08] And I'll give you my love
[03:10.24]
