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 ga imam
Rekli su mi da me nema
Rekao sam im: "Ne paničari"
Kad ste to učinili tako dugo
I vidjeli ste magiju
I znaš da te neće ubiti
Čak i kad cijeli svijet sumnja
Ovo je moj trenutak
Ne mogu uzeti moj talent
Ne mogu mi uzeti pruge
Ne mogu mi izbrisati sate
Ja sam iz podzemlja, bilo što iznad zemlje je planina
Završio sam pokušaj impresionirati bilo koga, ali nebo kamo sam krenuo
Ne moraš se držati na meni svoje cvijeće
Ja sam u svojoj zoni, oči na prijestolju
20k duboko, bolje izvadite svoje telefone
Okrenite arenu vjernicima svaki put kad udarim u ceilin '
Nitko se nikada ne dira moj show
Pogledajte gdje smo započeli, pogledajte gdje smo stigli
Gotovo od te noći u bolnici
Neću umrijeti, više života u Arsenalu
Dobio sam još jedan hitac da se povuče nemoguće
[Zbor: tonovi i ja]
Nema potrebe plakati za mnom, ja sam borac
Borac
Ne možeš mi uzeti glas od sebe, ustat ću
Dići se
Pa što čekaš?
Još nisam spreman umrijeti
Bol je tamo gdje se vjera rodi
Jeste li već živi? Jeste li već živi?
Jesi li živ?
[Stih 2: Macklemore]
Na mom grobu, u koji će se citat urezati?
Nikad nisam igrao igru da bi bio natjecatelj
Nikad se nije pridružio ligi za vožnju klupama
Pobjede su pogodile drugačije kad to ne očekuju
Da, i ne moraju poput mene poput mene
Imam vlastiti nikes, nema nike id -a
I ne pokušavam da kaskam, čovječe
Ali moj je logo prešao preko Jumpmana
Sjećam se svega što sam imao bio autobusni prolaz
Prodajte CD -ove da biste napravili nekoliko dolara
A sad sam na sastancima i bolje da mi vjeruj
Sad kad smo dobili arenu, Sonics donosi povratak
Nisam poslovni čovjek, imam djecu, čovječe
Tretiram svoj grad kao da je moj fam
Dok rezidencija dobije građevinskog čovjeka
Mislim da igram gradonačelnik, ali to je moj plan
Znate kako se osjeća pedeset tisuća
Kad dovedete u pitanje, "Je li ovaj stvarni život?"
Novac ne kupuje sreću, to su činjenice
Dok uzmete ono što ste napravili i odlučite ga vratiti tako
[Zbor: tonovi i ja]
Nema potrebe plakati za mnom, ja sam borac
Borac
Ne možeš mi uzeti glas od sebe, ustat ću
Dići se
Pa što čekaš?
Još nisam spreman umrijeti
Bol je tamo gdje se vjera rodi
Jeste li već živi? Jeste li već živi?
Jesi li živ?
[Stih 3: Macklemore]
Trebao sam biti jedan hit zvona
Sad sam dobio previše prstenova i nema dovoljno prstiju
Nastavi raditi moje stvari, oni nastavljaju progoniti val
Razmislite da će oni biti taj koji će nadmašiti dob
Moram dobiti Micka Jaggera DNK
Rollin 'kamene torbe, prethodno provjeravanje, bez TSA
Imat ću sedamdeset i osam, SM58 u lice
Kao: "Tko želi ići sljedeće?" Nitko ne dira moju pozornicu
Njihove glave troše poput b-boy glave koja se vrti
Klubam pritisnem industriju i mrtva sam je dizao
Napisano je, trčao sam, prošlo je minutu
Bio je to, kladim se da sam stotinjak da sam bio Winnin '
Benz je zatamnjen, to je bilo vintage, da, Ben je to učinio
Kreznjak u kojem živim je poput Bena Stillera
Večer u mojoj kući, noć u muzeju
Trofeji, ploče na sve strane i pristojni pogled
Na kraju dana, to je: "Kome treba?"
Igrajte na, igrače, moram nastaviti natjecati
Nastavi sanjati, neće se podmiriti za sranja
To nije sport, to je moj život, trčim prvenstvom, nema me
[Zbor: tonovi i ja]
Nema potrebe plakati za mnom, ja sam borac
Borac
Ne možeš mi uzeti glas od sebe, ustat ću
Dići se
Pa što čekaš?
Još nisam spreman umrijeti
Bol je tamo gdje se vjera rodi
Jeste li već živi? Jeste li već živi?
Jesi li živ?
[OUTRO: tonovi i ja]
Jesi li živ?
Jesi li živ?
