My Language by Macklemore

[@MakeItNasty7]

I personally am from Portland but I respect Macklemore so much. He puts so much passion in his music and he never forgets to rep where hes from proudly.

[@RawFeedingCanines]

Bobby Womack - If you think you're lonely now. What a fresh sample! Love this track, love this record - macks best work IMO and I've been listenin to him since this album came out in '05. His new work...dont get me started lol

[@jka1216]

Best album

[@audreyehuff]

I'm so glad other people hear/noticed the "I wanna be an elk!" and I'm glad it's not just on my copy of the song, because that would be so strange!

[@IStabFishWithBacon]

Part of it, if not most or all, is probably his degree of honesty in his music. He's very raw about himself and his experiences, which gives us the illusion that we really know him.

[@bacemdaly8369]

I think he was so much better than now !

[@bacemdaly8369]

Couldn't agree more !!

[@PussPants]

he's sold out.

[@debbwhite]

bacem daly guys we all know he’s still lit asf

[@stareaholethrewu]

[@fairplayterrific147]

[@leenumber3233]

If you listen at 2:56 theres a bizzare little voice going "I want to be an Elk" haha I wonder if its some snippet of the Professor's childhood he threw into the melting pot that is this song :)

[@laxconor1]

macklemore is dope. and apparently he really enjoys a good schwisher every meow and then

[@IsolationTime]

That last yell made me rolf

[@RaymondWoodsMusic]

haha no, he's droppin a new album soon. It would be a dope way to go out though, huh?

[@RaymondWoodsMusic]

Thad be dope. I wish I had someone to mix beats for me, because I have a whole list of songs, I would want put into instrumentals.

[@Bass2Intense]

Yo Ryan, you should make a track using a mix of this beat.

[@CarbonJay-lm2]

I think it was his last song in that album. You know, like if it was a long day of recording, and he just finished the song.

[@silenceisbeauty]

@ssp183 Macklemore is one of the few good things to come outta Seattle :)

[@Erica-qo5ky]

[Hook 1: Many Voices] This is my language [x17] [Intro: Macklemore] Check it out, yeah [Verse 1: Macklemore] The risk of blunderin' to rap in front of a couple a hundred kids knowin' my licks is humblin' Spit the struggle of an addict to puff in them swisher split but the light that was lit, I quickly run from it I turn away from that source inside A slicker for happiness, thinkin' I need a store to buy it Recordin's priceless but look at how important ice is I thought rhyming was forever now it's imported diamonds My point is eyein', music that's absorbed my life an' You glorify guns, they bust sex and drugs of course they'll try it And I can't even front like I didn't, cause I still do and that's why I'm spittin' I'm lookin' for this thing called moderation that I heard some found The only problem with drugs is sometime you gotta come down I lived half my life numb and bud drowned And rum, vodka, how many bucks have I spent on dubs now? I'm 23, look at my lungs now The amount of THC from the swish of sweet blunt count? I can't even conceive, that's why I run wild In these streets like I was 13, like fuck now I make that revolution music, but not for the army A reminder against the vices that harm me Cause I could never see how affected my lung is You only get one shot at life, no ad-libs or punch ins [Hook 2: Many Voices] This is my language [x13] [Verse 2: Macklemore] Now, my mom once told me that we're not finished products, only Authors of a book, and the object is to write it slowly This is my last 16, I'll go for it Four years in college and this is all I have to show for it I said, this is my last song, so here's my passion 18 tracks, each one an attempt to take my mask off Woo! The oral tradition's been passed on While she ride the rhythm to the points that I'm a blast off And as the music absorbs through Me to be like Don P. hearin' beats from my dorm room XP, It's been a joy and blessin' My boy 'til my death and my Step-Cousin with voice from heaven Yes, Budo! It was you who produced through I am connected and now our friendship is the truth, dude My last two are for NuNu of course I dedicate it to you, but this album's already yours [Hook 3: Many Voices] This is my language [x16] (I wanna be an elk) [x2] [Outro: Macklemore] I'm proud to say this is my language I'm out That's it The Language of My World (This is my Language) It's been a long journey, and a struggle indeed, and I'm so glad that it's over Thank you for listening Until next time, peace and blessings This is my language
