I hate that feeling
when you say goodbye to someone you want to spend every minute with.

Those three-plus years, I was so proud of. And I threw 'em all away for two Styrofoam cups. The irony, everyone will think that he lied to me. Made my sobriety so public, there's no f./kin' privacy. If I don't talk about it then I carry a date. A 08-10-08, but now it's been changed in every. When they put me in some box as a saint. I never was, it's the false prophet that never came. And will they think that everything that I written has all been fake. Or will I just take my slip to the grave. Uh, what the f./k are my parents gonna say? The success story that got his life together and changed. And you know what pain looks like. When you tell your dad you relapsed then look him directly into his face. The seat on your shoulder's the seemingly heavy weight. I've been seeing tears like this on my girl. In a while the trust that I once built's been betrayed. But I'd rather live telling the truth than be judged for my mistakes. The falsely held up, given props, loved and praised. Then I guess I gotta get this on the page.
Feeling sick and helpless, lost the compass where self is. I know what I gotta do and I can't help it. One day at a time is what they tell us. Now I gotta find a way to tell them. God help 'em. One day at a time is what they tell us. Now I gotta find a way to tell them.
We fall so hard. Now we gotta get back what we lost lost. I thought you'd go. But you were with me all along along.
And every kid that came up to me. And said I was the music they listened to when they first got clean. Now look at me, a couple days sober. I'm fighting demons. Back of that meeting on the east side. Shaking tweakin', hope that they don't see it. Hope that no one is looking. That no one recognizes that failure under that hoodie. Was posted in the back with my hands crossed shooken. If they call on me I'm passing, if they talk to me I'm booking out that door. But before I can make it somebody stops me and says are you Macklemore? Maybe this isn't the place or time. I just wanted to say that if it wasn't for "Otherside" I wouldn't have made it. I just look down at the ground and say thank you. She tells me she has 9 months and that she's so grateful. Tears in her eyes, looking like she's gonna cry.. f./k! I barely got 48 hours, treated like I'm some wise monk. I wanna tell her I relapsed but I can't. I just shake her hand and tell her congrats. Get back to my car and I think I'm tripping yea. Cuz God wrote Otherside, that pen was in my hand. I'm just a flawed man, man I f./ked up up. Like so many others I just never thought I would. I never thought I would, didn't pick up the book. Doin' it by myself, didn't turn out that good.
If I can be an example of getting sober. Then I can be an example of starting over. If I can be an example of getting sober. Then I can be an example of starting over.
We fall so hard. Now we gotta get back what we lost lost. I thought you'd go. But you were with me all along along. We fall so hard. Now we gotta get back what we lost lost.

I was seven years old, when I got my first pair. And I stepped outside. And I was like, "Momma, this air bubble right here, it's gonna make me fly". I hit that court and when I jumped, I jumped, I swear I got so high. I touched the net, "Momma, I touched the net," this is the best day of my life.
Air Max's were next, That air bubble, that mesh. The box, the smell, the stuffin', the tread, In school. I was so cool. I knew that I couldn't crease 'em. My friends couldn't afford 'em. Four stripes on their Adidas. On the court I wasn't the best, but my kicks were like the pros. Yo, stick out my tongue so everyone could see that logo. Nike Air Flight, but bad was so dope. And then my friend Carlos' brother got murdered for his Fours, whoa.
See he just wanted a jump shot, but they wanted to start a cult though. Didn't wanna get caught, from Genesee Park to Othello. You could clown for those Pro Wings, with the Velcro. Those were not tight. I was trying to fly without leaving the ground, Cause I wanted to be like Mike, right. Wanted to be him, I wanted to be that guy, I wanted to touch the rim, I wanted to be cool, and I wanted to fit in, I wanted what he had, America, it begins.
I want to fly, Can you take me far away? Give me a star to reach for. Tell me what it takes. And I'll go so high. I'll go so high. My feet won't touch the ground. I stitched my wings. And pull the strings. I bought these dreams. That all fall down.
We want what we can't have, commodity makes us want it. So expensive, d.mn, I just got to flaunt it. Got to show 'em, so exclusive, this that new sh.t. A hundred dollars for a pair of shoes I would never hoop in. Look at me, look at me, I'm a cool kid. I'm an individual, yeah, but I'm part of a movement. My movement told me be a consumer and I consumed it. They told me to just do it, I listened to what that swoosh said. Look at what that swoosh did. See it consumed my thoughts. Are you stupid, don't crease 'em, just leave 'em in that box. Strangled by these laces, laces I can barely talk. That's my air bubble and I'm lost if it pops. We are what we wear, we wear what we are. But see I look inside the mirror and think Phil Knight tricked us all. Will I stand for change or stay in my box. These Nikes help me define me, but I'm trying to take mine, off.
I want to fly. Can you take me far away? Give me a star to reach for. Tell me what it takes. And I'll go so high. I'll go so high. My feet won't touch the ground. I stitched my wings. And pull the strings. I bought these dreams. That all fall done.
It started out with what I wear to school. That first day, like these are what make you cool. And this pair, this would be my parachute. So much more than just a pair of shoes. Nah, this is what I am. What I wore, this is the source of my youth. This dream that they sold to you. For a hundred dollars and some change. Consumption is in the veins. And now I see it's just another pair of shoes.

He rolled up, asked him what he was sippin' on. He said lean, You want to hit it, dawg? That's the same stuff Weezy's sippin' huh? And tons of other rappers that be spittin' hard. Yup he had five up on. When he passed him that styrofoam. The easter pink, heard it in a rhyme before. Finally got to see what all the hype was on. And then he took a sip, sittin' in the Lincoln. Thinkin' he was pimpin' as he listen to the system. Little did he know that it was just as addictive as base. Not the kind of hit from the kick drum. Hot box, let the bass bump. Take it to the face, gulp. Months later the use went up. Every blunt was accompanied by the pink stuff. But Godd.mn he loved that feelin'. Purple rain coated in the throat. Just so healin'. Medicine alleviate the sickness. Liquid to fix and it comes with a cost. Wake up, cold sweat, scratchin', itchin'. Trying to escape the skin that barely fit him. Gone, get another bottle just to get a couple swallows. Headed towards the bottom couldn't get off it. Didn't even think he had a problem. Though he couldn't sleep without gettin' nauseous. Room spinnin', thinkin' he might of sipped just a little bit too much of that cough syrup. His eyelids closed shut. Sat back in the chair clutchin' that cup. Girlfriend came and a couple hours later said his name shook him but he never got up.
He never got up, he never got up. We live on the cusp of death thinkin' that it won't be us. It won't be us, it won't be us, it won't be us. Nah, it won't be us.
Now he just wanted to act like them. He just wanted to rap like him. Us as rappers underestimate the power and the effects that we have on these kids. Blunt passed, ash in a tin, pack being pushed, harassed by the feds. The fact of it is most people that rap like this talkin' about some sh.t they haven't lived. Surprise, you know the drill. Trapped in a box to climb record sales. Follow the formula violence, drugs, and, s.x sells. So we try to sound like someone else. This is not Californication. There's no way to glorify this pavement. Syrup, percocet, and an eighth a day will leave you broke, depressed, and emotionally vacant. Despite how Lil Wayne lives. It's not conducive to being creative. And I know 'cause he's my favorite. And I know 'cause I was off that same mix. Rationalize the sh.t that I'd try after I listen to dedication. But he's an alien, I'd sip that sh.t, pass out or play Playstation. Months later I'm in the same place. No music made, feeling like a failure. And trust me it's not dope to be 25 and move back to your parent's basement. I've seen my people's dreams die. I've seen what they can be denied. And "weeds not a drug" - that's denial. Groundhog Day life repeat each time. I've seen oxycontin take three lives. I grew up with them, we used to cheef dimes. I've seen cocaine bring out the demons inside. Cheatin' and lyin'. Friendship cease, no peace in the mind. Stealin' and takin' anything to fix the pieces inside. Broken, hopeless, headed nowhere. Only motivation for what the dealer's supplying. That rush, that drug, that dope. Those pills, that crumb, that roach. Thinkin' I would never do that, not that drug. And growing up nobody ever does. Until your stuck, lookin' in the mirror like I can't believe what I've become. Swore I was goin' to be someone. And growing up everyone always does. We sell our dreams and our potential. To escape through that buzz. Just keep me up, keep me up. Hollywood here we come.

I thought Macklemore was just another rapper, like lil Wayne, Drake, etc.
I thought all he wanted was s.x, drugs, etc.
But his songs 'Otherside' and 'Same Love'.
Tells a different story.
I love Macklemore!
