ft. Tones and I | They told me that I vanished
They told me that I had it
They told me that I'm gone
I told 'em, "Don't panic"
ft. Tones and I | They told me that I vanished
They told me that I had it
They told me that I'm gone
I told 'em, "Don't panic"
When you've done it this long
And you've seen magic
And you know it won't kill you
Even when the whole world doubts it
This is my moment
They can't take my talent
They can't take my stripes
They can't erase my hours
I'm from the underground, anything above ground is a mountain
I'm done tryna impress anybody, but the heavens where I'm headed
You don't get to hold on me your flowers
I am in my zone, eyes on the throne
20k deep, better pull out your phones
Turnin' the arena to believers every time I hit the ceilin'
Ain't nobody ever touchin' my show
Look at where we started, look at where we got to
Almost OD'd that night in the hospital
Wasn't gonna die, more life in the arsenal
Got another shot to pull off the impossible
[Chorus: Tones and I]
There's no need to cry for me, I'm a fighter
Fighter
You can't take my voice from me, I will rise up
Rise up
So what are you waitin' for?
I ain't ready to die yet
The pain is where faith is born
Are you alive yet? Are you alive yet?
Are you alive?
[Verse 2: Macklemore]
On my grave, what quote will be etched in?
Never played the game to be a contestant
Never joined the league to ride benches
The wins hit different when they don't expect it
Yeah, and they ain't gotta like me
Got my own Nikes, no Nike ID
And I ain't tryin' to stunt, man
But my logo went over the Jumpman
I remember all I had was a bus pass
Sellin' CDs to make a couple of bucks back
And now I'm up in meetings and you better believe me
Now that we got the arena, The Sonics makin' a comeback
I'm not a businessman, I got children, man
I treat my city like it is my fam
Til the residency gets a buildin' man
Think I'm playin' 'bout mayor, but that is my plan
You know what fifty thousand feels like
When you question, "Is this real life?"
The money doesn't buy happiness, that's facts
Til you take what you made and decide to give it back like that
[Chorus: Tones and I]
There's no need to cry for me, I'm a fighter
Fighter
You can't take my voice from me, I will rise up
Rise up
So what are you waitin' for?
I ain't ready to die yet
The pain is where faith is born
Are you alive yet? Are you alive yet?
Are you alive?
[Verse 3: Macklemore]
I was supposed to be a one hit ringer
Now I got too many rings and not enough fingers
Keep doing my thing, they keep chasin' the wave
Thinkin' that they're gonna be the one to outpace age
I must got Mick Jagger DNA
Rollin' Stone bags, pre-check, no TSA
I'll be seventy-eight, SM58 in my face
Like, "Who wants to go next?" Nobody's touchin' my stage
Their heads trippin' like a B-Boy head spinnin'
I bench press the industry and I deadlift it
It's been written, I've been runnin', it's been a minute
Been done it, I bet you a hundred that I've been winnin'
The Benz tinted, it's been vintage, yeah, Ben did it
The crib I live in is like Ben Stiller's
An evening at my house, a night at the museum
Trophies, plaques all over and the view's decent
At the end of the day, it's like, "Who needs it?"
Play on, player, I gotta keep competin'
Keep dreamin', won't settle for shit
It isn't sport, it's my life, run the championship, I'm gone
[Chorus: Tones and I]
There's no need to cry for me, I'm a fighter
Fighter
You can't take my voice from me, I will rise up
Rise up
So what are you waitin' for?
I ain't ready to die yet
The pain is where faith is born
Are you alive yet? Are you alive yet?
Are you alive?
[Outro: Tones and I]
Are you alive?
Are you alive?
Rekli su mi da sam nestao
Rekli su mi da je imam
Rekli su mi da me nema
Rekao sam im: "Ne paničari"
Kad ste to dugo učinili
I vidjeli ste magiju
I znate da vas neće ubiti
Čak i kad cijeli svijet sumnja u to
Ovo je moj trenutak
Ne mogu mi uzeti talenat
Ne mogu da uzme moje pruge
Ne mogu izbrisati moje sate
Ja sam iz podzemnog, bilo šta iznad zemlje je planina
Završio sam Tryna impresionirati bilo koga, ali nebesa kamo sam krenuo
Ne morate me držati na meni cveće
Ja sam u svojoj zoni, oči na prijestolju
Duboko 20k, bolje izvucite svoje telefone
Okrenite arenu u vjernike svaki put kad pogodim cijelni
Nitko mi nikada ne dira svoj show
Pogledajte gdje smo započeli, pogledamo gdje smo stigli
Gotovo od'd te noći u bolnici
Nije htio umreti, više života u Arsenalu
Imam još jedan pogodak za izvlačenje nemoguće
[ZBOR: Tonovi i ja]
Nema potrebe da plačem za mene, ja sam borac
Borac
Ne možeš mi preuzeti glas od mene, ustao ću se
Ustati
Pa za šta čekate?
Još nisam spreman da umrem
Bol je tamo gdje se rodi vjera
Jesi li već živ? Jesi li već živ?
Da li si živ?
[Verse 2: Macklemore]
Na mom grobu, u čemu će se to citat ugasiti?
Nikad nije igrao igru da bude takmičar
Nikad se ne pridružio ligi da vozi klupe
Pobjede su pogodile drugačije kada to ne očekuju
Da, i ne moraju biti poput mene
Dobio sam vlastiti Nikes, nema nike id
A ja ne pokušavam ukrcati, čovječe
Ali moj logo je prešao preko Jumpana
Sjećam se da sam imao samo autobus
Prodaju CD-ove kako bi napravili par dolara nazad
A sada sam gore na sastancima i bolje mi vjerujte
Sad kad smo dobili arenu, sonike koji čine povratak
Nisam biznismen, imam djecu, čovječe
Tretiram svoj grad kao da je moja fam
Dok prebivalište ne dobije građevinski čovek
Mislite da igram gradonačelnika ", ali to je moj plan
Znate kako se pedeset hiljada osjeća kao
Kada dovedete, "je li ovaj stvarni život?"
Novac ne kupuje sreću, to su činjenice
Dok ti uzmeš ono što si napravio i odlučiš da ga vratiš tako
[ZBOR: Tonovi i ja]
Nema potrebe da plačem za mene, ja sam borac
Borac
Ne možeš mi preuzeti glas od mene, ustao ću se
Ustati
Pa za šta čekate?
Još nisam spreman da umrem
Bol je tamo gdje se rodi vjera
Jesi li već živ? Jesi li već živ?
Da li si živ?
[Verse 3: Macklemore]
Trebao sam biti jedan pogodan zvonar
Sad imam previše prstenova i nema dovoljno prstiju
Nastavite raditi moju stvar, oni drže val
Misliti da će oni biti onaj koji će nadmašiti starost
Moram dobiti Mick Jagger DNK
Rollin kamenske torbe, prije provjere, ne TSA
Bit ću sedamdeset i osam, SM58 u lice
Kao, "ko želi da ide sledeće?" Nitko ne dira moju pozornicu
Njihove glave srušile su se poput bočane glave
I Krupam pritiskam industriju i ja sam ga
Napisano je, trčio sam, prošlo je minutu
Učinio sam, kladim se da sam sto zbog koje sam dobio
Benz je zatamnjen, bio je vintage, da, Ben je to učinio
Krevetić u kojem živim je kao Ben Stiller's
Večer u mojoj kući, noć u muzeju
Trofeji, plakete u cijelom i pristojnu gledištu
Na kraju dana, to je kao: "Kome treba?"
Igrajte se, igrač, moram se natjecati
Neka se sanja, neće se nagoditi za sranje
To nije sport, to je moj život, vodio prvenstvo, nemam
[ZBOR: Tonovi i ja]
Nema potrebe da plačem za mene, ja sam borac
Borac
Ne možeš mi preuzeti glas od mene, ustao ću se
Ustati
Pa za šta čekate?
Još nisam spreman da umrem
Bol je tamo gdje se rodi vjera
Jesi li već živ? Jesi li već živ?
Da li si živ?
[Outro: tonovi i ja]
Da li si živ?
Da li si živ?
