Macklemore & Ryan Lewis - Same Love Lyrics (Ft. Mary Lambert)

Same Love Lyrics by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis Ft. Mary Lambert

[Verse 1: Macklemore]
When I was in the 3rd grade
I thought that I was gay
Cause I could draw, my uncle was
And I kept my room straight
I told my mom, tears rushing down my face
She’s like, “Ben you’ve loved girls since before pre-K”
Trippin’, yeah, I guess she had a point, didn’t she
A bunch of stereotypes all in my head
I remember doing the math like
“Yeah, I’m good a little league”
A pre-conceived idea of what it all meant
For those who like the same sex had the characteristics
The right-wing conservatives think its a decision
And you can be cured with some treatment and religion
Man-made, rewiring of a pre-disposition
Playing God
Ahh nah, here we go
America the brave
Still fears, what, we don’t know
And God loves all His children
Is somehow forgotten
But we paraphrase a book written
35 hundred years ago
I don’t know

[Hook: Mary Lambert]
And I can’t change
Even if I tried
Even if I wanted to
And I can’t change
Even if I tried
Even if I wanted to
My love, my love, my love
She keeps me warm [x4]

[Verse 2: Macklemore]
If I was gay
I would think hip-hop hates me
Have you read the YouTube comments lately
“Man that’s gay”
Gets dropped on the daily
We’ve become so numb to what we’re sayin’
Our culture founded from oppression
Yeah, we don’t have acceptance for ‘em
Call each other faggots
Behind the keys of a message board
A word routed in hate
Yet our genre still ignores it
Gay is synonymous with the lesser
It’s the same hate that’s caused wars from religion
Gender and skin color
Complexion of your pigment
The same fight that lead people to walk-outs and sit-ins
It’s human rights for everybody
There is no difference
Live on! And be yourself!
When I was in church
They taught me something else
If you preach hate at the service
Those words aren’t anointed
And that Holy Water
That you soak in
Is then poisoned
When everyone else
Is more comfortable
Remaining voiceless
Rather than fighting for humans
That have had their rights stolen
I might not be the same
But that’s not important
No freedom ’til we’re equal
Damn right I support it
I don’t know

[Hook: Mary Lambert]
And I can’t change
Even if I tried
Even if I wanted to
And I can’t change
Even if I tried
Even if I wanted to
My love, my love, my love
She keeps me warm [x4]

[Verse 3: Macklemore]
We press play
Don’t press pause
Progress, march on!
With a veil over our eyes
We turn our back on the cause
‘Till the day
That my uncles can be united by law
Kids are walkin’ around the hallway
Plagued by pain in their heart
A world so hateful
Someone would rather die
Than be who they are
And a certificate on paper
Isn’t gonna solve it all
But it’s a damn good place to start
No law’s gonna change us
We have to change us
Whatever god you believe in
We come from the same one
Strip away the fear
Underneath it’s all the same love
About time that we raised up

[Hook: Mary Lambert]
And I can’t change
Even if I tried
Even if I wanted to
And I can’t change
Even if I tried
Even if I wanted to
My love, my love, my love
She keeps me warm [x4]

[Outro: Mary Lambert]
Love is patient, love is kind
Love is patient (not cryin’ on Sundays)
Love is kind (not crying on Sundays) [x5]

Love And Theft - Real Good Sign Lyrics

Real Good Sign Lyrics by Love And Theft

I don’t know what’s wrong with me
But I’m wind up tighter than a guitar string
Made me smile and that’s got a meaning

Doing something right

I won’t swear, she’s into me
But it’s looking like she just might be
Her eyes are soft and deep and green
Luck on me tonight
Luck on me tonight

Hey, I’d say I’m doing fine
She hasn’t tried to kiss me
But I do believe it’s crossed her mind
Hey the way she’s got her hand on mine
It’s looking like a real good sign

I like the way she flips her hair
All casual like she don’t care
Is she just tryin’ to make me stare?
Man that’s all I’ve done

Well it’s been a while since I’ve been loved
And I don’t wanna push my luck
As long as I don’t screw this up
She might be the one

Hey, I’d say I’m doing fine
She hasn’t tried to kiss me
But I do believe it’s crossed her mind
Hey the way she’s got her hand on mine
It’s looking like a real good sign

Oh, I don’t plan to know her, woman’s fine
I don’t know if this thing is gonna fly
The way she’s looking at me
The shutters make me haṗpy
That’s gotta be a real good sign

Hey, I’d say I’m doing fine
She hasn’t tried to kiss me
But I do believe it’s crossed her mind
Hey the way she’s got her hand on mine
It’s looking like a real good sign, yeah
It’s looking like a real good sign
A real good sign yeah baby

Menomena - Heavy Is as Heavy Does Lyrics

Heavy Is as Heavy Does Lyrics by Menomena

Heavy all the branches,
Hanging from my fucked up family’s tree

And heavy was my father, a stoek man of pride and privacy
And i don’t care much for wishful thinking
Is heavy as i breathe

Because i don’t belive in second chances
Is heavy as i live
As powerfull as a man he was,
Pride my father never was of me

I did it for survival, but i look like the asshole anyaway
You eat up all my breadcrumbs
Now i’m lost alone inside your cage
Among 6 billion people
I want the ones who never won and meet
I’m not one for religion,
But i can’t see to ditch this energy

And i don’t care much for wishful thinking
Is heavy as i breathe
Because i don’t belive in second chances
Is heavy as i live

And i don’t care much for wishful thinking
I can’t breathe

Heavy all the branches

Talib Kweli - Push Thru Lyrics (Ft. Kendrick Lamar & Curren$y)

Push Thru Lyrics by Talib Kweli Ft. Kendrick Lamar & Curren$y

High rises, day breaks
Clouds hide the sun’s rays
Quick sand and mistakes
Smash walls to get through
I fight the good fight
Even on the bad days
It’s darkest before light
I’m gonna push through

Turbo charged bars
Slot cars on tracks, falling off, game stars in these rap wars
Ain’t nothing band-aids won’t cover
Touring with 7D coverage
Live bands, two buses, my own cash
No budget, no major label fundings, Jets baby
We went from crawling to walking to running
You can’t see nothing, you under gag order
Hopping out of Audi’s hurting y’all with kicks, I’m the Transporter
Think about it, never mind, you ain’t gotta
I’m already on some whole other, word to yo mufuckin self
Nobody else gon’ do it for ya, nobody else
Every now and then someone’ll offer ya help, but they ain’t doing nothing
‘Til they really see you tryna do something, I ain’t bluffing
Kush puffing on you jive turkeys
Stuffing stockings with these gifts
Audible applaudables homie take a wiff

High rises, day breaks
Clouds hide the sun’s rays
Quick sand and mistakes
Smash walls to get through
I fight the good fight
Even on the bad days
It’s darkest before light
I’m gonna push through

When you a man, action is what’s expected, nothing is spoken on
Producer never got time for no excuses, gotta go beyond
My flow is tom-foolery
I smoke these poor rappers so fast they call me ?
I beautifully exude the vibe that’s free of ambiguity
Ya goonery for the sake of goonery is cartoons to me
It’s coonery, it’s lunacy, let’s make a plane
Only way that you hang is attached to a tree
The moon talk to the sea and speak the body language fluently
She make it rain
When I’m on fire, she always try to douse me
Only reason that you make it rain is ‘cause your diamonds cloudy
I see you from a mile away when it get overcast
Old people feel it in they bones, invade your home like I broke the glass
And let myself in, fighting for freedom like the people in Tunisia
Spread through Sudan and Egypt, this the music for the movement
The score to your achievements, never join ‘em so you gotta beat ‘em
It’s carpe diem hey (hey) yeah

High rises, day breaks
Clouds hide the sun’s rays
Quick sand and mistakes
Smash walls to get through
I fight the good fight
Even on the bad days
It’s darkest before light
I’m gonna push through

Like kindergarteners
My vision’s bothered by vigilantes that harbor on street corners
Try your hardest to harvest bundles of weed on ya
The starving’ll speed on ya, stampede on ya
Impede on your pockets then pee on ya
Dreams of us living lavish in fabrics of fine linens
Spending, established, with women dining and laughing
But this environment got us violent, ready to crash in-
To society, take this driver seat, hope you fastened
Your seatbelts twice, when I rolled them dice, I crapped
So many times I can build casinos from scratch
Too many daps you might receive from the things you achieve, relax
That’s what my mental say, but my physical’s been detached, I’m on some other shit
Like fuck the government, take the higher rankings, where’s the mothership?
I made a covenant that I was changing by my luck is bent
Quite disgusting when reality ? where the fuck you been?
Left him face down like he was planking
In a cold world where old girl and her homeboy got a motive
You can bench curl your tribulations, that sensation’s insulting
Got a wifey or a mistress, nigga which one you indulging?
Regardless of who you pick know life’s a bitch when you ain’t focused nigga
I’m focused

High rises, day breaks
Clouds hide the sun’s rays
Quick sand and mistakes
Smash walls to get through
I fight the good fight
Even on the bad days
It’s darkest before light
I’m gonna push through

Rick Ross - 3 Kings Lyrics (Ft. Jay-Z & Dr. Dre)

3 Kings Lyrics by Rick Ross Ft. Jay-Z & Dr. Dre

[Dr Dre]
Yeah, classic hip hop shit
Dr D-R-E, Rozay and Jay
Lets get ‘em
We started out mopping floors
Now we front row at the awards
Number 1 for the last 20 years
If you real muthafucker scream cheers
Muthafucker scream cheers
And it is what it is
He wanted to shine at the swap meet
Til the white boys got him in that hot seat
Only love it when her hair long
You should listen to this beat through my headphones
Money long, number 1 20 years strong
Fuck a gym, I am him, Andre Young
G5′s to 6-4′s, Dre got ‘em
If the bitch bad I got her in red bottoms
Great weed, nice homes, bread proper
Tech 9, long chamber, top shotta
Bentley coupe, new yacht, my helicopter
Born broke, real nigga straight outta Compton
The fuck you magazine niggas want from me?
I rewrote the game nigga, now talk money
All black on my Al Capone shit
I built the house, nigga get ya own shit
I only love it when her hair long
You should listen to this beat through my headphones

[Rick Ross]
See yall niggas
Lay the top down
I came along way from the weed game
20 stack seats at the Heat game
And I’m still strapped with the heat man
Game, we stepping’ on it, nigga feet mayne
8 pair of sneakers, came from the d-game
Cousin was a crip said it was a c-thing
Brown bag money in a duffle bag
Fuck ‘em all, wet ‘em, yeh we gotta double bag
The homie whipping chickens in his momma kitchen
On a mission, say he get it for son’s tuition
Real nigga’s dreams coming to Fruition
Stumble but I never fall leaning on my pistol
I only love her when that ass fat
We used to listen to this track in my Maybach
I’m just tryna be a billionaire
Come and suck a dick for a millionaire

[Jay-Z]
It’s just different, I know it feels different
I only love her if her eyes brown
Play this shit while you play around with my crown
King H-O, yall should know by now
If you don’t know
? on my wall in all my rooms
Niggas couldn’t fuck with my daughters room
Niggas couldn’t walk in my daughters socks
Banksy bitches, Basquiats
I ran through that buck 50, Live Nation, fronted me
They working on another deal, they talking 250
I’m holding out for 3, 275 and I just might agree
Ex D-boy, used to park my Beemer
Now look at me I can park at my own Arena
I only love her if her weave new
I’m still a hood nigga, what you want me to do
Been hoppin’ out the BM with your bm
Taking her places you can’t go with your
Screaming carpe diem until I’m a dead poet
Robin Williams shit, I deserve a goldy gold disc
I take an Ace in the meanwhile
You aint gotta keep this, it’s just a freestyle
Fuck rap money, I made more off crates
Fuck show money, I spent that on drapes
Close the curtains, fuck boy out my face
I whip the coke, let the lawyer beat the case
Murder was the case that they gave me
I killed the Hermes store somebody save me
Stuntin’ to the max like wavy
oh shit, stuntin’ top the max I’m so wavy
Used to shop in TJ Maxx back in ’83
I didn’t even know if it was open then
I aint know Oprah then
Had the Xl80 bike, loud motor
They be like, damn when I’m coming through
Had a grill in ’88
Ya’ll niggas is late
You got all that right?
I love this shit like my own daughter
And spray these niggas baby just like daddy taught ya
Young, it’s just different

8Ball - Don’t Bring Me Down Lyrics (Ft. 2 Chainz)

Don’t Bring Me Down Lyrics by 8Ball Ft. 2 Chainz

The night is young (The night is young)
Come and go with me (Come and go with me)
Up in the sky (Up in the sky)
Is where you wanna be.
Don’t bring me down, don’t bring me down
Don’t bring me down, don’t bring me down
Don’t bring me down, don’t bring me down

Tonight I’m twistin’ ‘em big, I’m poppin’ pink bottles
Pull out the old school Chevys and make the pipes rattle
Kev wrap the rubber bands, no credit cards
45 catch the cliques, no bodyguards
Call that my real nigga passport
Pull ‘em out when them old bitches ask for it
I’ve been collecting paper, tryna stuff my bank account
With this pen and paper give you somethin’ to think about
The diamonds shine and the wine is muscato
We ride shit from my garage, fuck a limo
My piece is 1 tenth of a dollar
She left her panties at my crib on the coffee table
I’m waitin’ for the beat

The night is young (The night is young)
Come and go with me (Come and go with me)
Up in the sky (Up in the sky)
Is where you wanna be.
Don’t bring me down, don’t bring me down
Don’t bring me down, don’t bring me down
Don’t bring me down, don’t bring me down

Tonight we’re takin’ the city and paintin’ it all black
Drama on the soundtrack and it’s all crack
Your speed exceed 100 down i20
We breathe and smoke in and out and got plenty
I’m on the passenger, tonight I’m lettin’ my bitch drive
She here to buckle and the car commitin’ suicide
Law enforcement on my car with cameras
Tryna connect gang members and gangsta rappers
Drug dealers, athletes and black actors
Get caught up, prostitutes and back taxes
Fuck it, tonight we’re livin’ like we don’t exist
Time stopped like I broke the watch on my wrist
Somewhere you wanna be?

The night is young (The night is young)
Come and go with me (Come and go with me)
Up in the sky (Up in the sky)
Is where you wanna be.
Don’t bring me down, don’t bring me down
Don’t bring me down, don’t bring me down
Don’t bring me down, don’t bring me down

What goes up must come down
And if I stay down, then I don’t come up
Life a bitch, I got my hand on the but, foot on the clutch
On my new wonder, smokin’ a blunt.
Tired of all sililaquez, service squeeze
Still use a triple B for insominity
And please, if bein’ broke is your disease
I took a test and passed and nigga I’m clean.
Promethazine poured in the 2 liter
Got my gorillas with me, and I’m the zookeeper
See, you ain’t seen it all until you’ve seen it all
If life a movie you never know when it might pause.

The night is young (The night is young)
Come and go with me (Come and go with me)
Up in the sky (Up in the sky)
Is where you wanna be.
Don’t bring me down, don’t bring me down
Don’t bring me down, don’t bring me down
Don’t bring me down, don’t bring me down
