EbWhen I was in the third gradeCm I thought I was gay

'Cause I coAbuld draw, an' my uncle Ebwas, and I kept my room straight

EbI told my mom Cmtears rushing down my face

She's like "AbBen you've loved girls sEbince before pre k," trippin'

EbYea I guess she had aCm point didn't she?

AbBunch of stereotypes Eball in my head.

EbI remember doing the math like, Cm"yea I'm good at little league"

AbA preconceived ideaEb of what it all meant

(repeat progression)

For those that liked the same sex

Had the characteristics

The right wing conservatives think it's a decision

And you can be cured with some treatment and religion

Man made rewiring of a predisposition

Playing god, aw 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 thirty five hundred years ago

I don't know

EbAnd I can't Ebchange Eb/C Eb/Ab Eb

Even if I tEbried Eb/C

Even if I wAbanted tEbo

I'm acting stEbrange

Eb/CEven if I Abtry

EbEven if I wEbanted to Eb/C

AbMy love, my love, my loEbve

She keeps me wEbarm Eb/C

She keeps me wAbarm Eb

She keeps me wEbarm Eb/C

She keeps me wAbarm Eb

EbIf I was gay,Cm I would think hip hop hates me

CmHavAbe you read the YouTube cEbomments lately

Eb"MaEbsus4n, thatF'sEb/G gay" get Cmdropped on the daily

AbWe Ab6becoAb7me so numb to wEbhat we're saying

A culture Ebfounded from oppCmression, yet we don't have acceptance for 'em

AbCall each other faggots Ebbehind the keys of a message board

EbA word rooted in hCmate, yet our genre still ignores it

AbA gay is synonymous with the lEbesser

It's the sEbame hate that's caused Cmwars from religion

AbGender to skin color, the cEbomplexion of your pigment

(repeat progression)

The same fight that led 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 at church they taught me something else

If you preach hate at the service those words aren't anointed

That holy water that you soak in has been poisoned

When everyone eEblse is more comfortable rEb/Cemaining voiceless

Rather than fCmighAbting for humans that have Cm7had Bbtheir rights stolen

EbI might not be theGm7 same, but that's not important

No fAbreedom till we're equal, damn Ebright I support it

EbEb/CEb/AbEb

Eb(reEb/Cpeat) Ab Eb

And I can't change

Even if I tried

Even if I wanted to

My love

She keeps me warm

EbAnd press Cmplay, don't press pause

AbProgress, marcEbh on

With the veil over our Ebeyes

We turn the Cmback on the cause

Till the dAbay that my uncles can be uEbnited by law

When kids are walking 'round the hallway plagued by pain in their heart

A world so hateful some 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 is gonna change us

We have to change us

Whatever god we believe in

We come from the same one

EbStrGm7ip away the fear

UnderneathAb it's all the same lovEbe

About time we raised up

And I can't cEbhangCme Ab Eb

Even if I tEbried Cm

Even if I wAbanted tEbo

I'm acting stEbrange

Eb/CEven if I Abtry Eb

Even if I Ebwanted toCm

AbMy love, my love, my love

Macklemore and Ryan Lewis - The End

From the EP: The VS (2010)

Comment for any corrections and please rate

AEDC#mD

A Came in togEether, bDut you held me

The process walking right through that door, at the entryC#m

I can't seem to remember, the lDights were so bright

And the discoball blurred in the turn of that night

But it was pAerfect I was tEold the tux wDas starched and all

Grabbed the glass of punch nervousness, structured by that wall

C#mArms folded, myself I didn't knDow yet

Until you came over, stood by me, you posted

A You put your hand Eout like I was strDanded

Tried to pull me on that dance floor

I stepped backwards

See I wasn't rC#meady yet, but you were my mDedicine

Showed me that trust through that love that you held me with

Our backsA against the wEall as the DDJ would spin

The soundtrack had changed as he played that mixC#m

Our lives flashed in front of Dus, just a glimpse

We were together and experience this

AEDC#mD

You finally pAulled me Eup,D I didn't want to

But you filled me up, from the bottom of my heart

And as we wC#malked through that gymnasiDum that I'd been watching

Feeling like my chest would explode from my heartbAeat

To the mEiddle of the flDoor I almost panicked

You put your hand out and I fearfully grabbed itC#m

The most beautiful thing thDat I'd seen on this planet

She laughed 'cause you could tell that I didn't know how to dance yAet

WEe started mDoving

And I, didn't know what I was doing

You whispC#mered, "don't you love mDusic

It's such a gift and I'll give it to ya

But you gotta Ause it"

E I strayDed

You brought me back in

Trying to sneak a flask outside of that gym

She said "You dC#mon't need that, look withDin"

She hugged me, looked into my eyes, she gave me a kiss

And she sAaid "I can't hEelp you,D if you don't let me

You're here to live just be, don't forget meC#m

The end of this dance you dDon't want to regret me, live

'Cause tonight you'll all be set free"

AEDC#mD

A LEast danceD the DJ yelled

Looked into her eyes and I could see myself

Slow mC#motion, frozen, tDoast of this moment

Like there is no morning, like there is no morning

A No emotions, yEou on my shDoulder

Me lead and you follow

As we circle the floor like the globe

Through this C#minfinite mass

Makes us sDeem so small

With you in my hand like the skyline holds the stars

A Not letting gEo, but I cDan't hold on

Fading through my fingertips, watching us fallC#m

I try to cDatch you with my arms

I would never take you for granted when I had you in my palms

To Aall I ever wEanted, plDease play my song

And put the record to the needle, don't ever touch that off switchC#m

You are perfect,D forget that prom dress

My God, seconds away from God yes

A SomebEody turned the hDeat on in this party

Or we're becoming one because I'm melting into your body

C#mOne being, heartbeating, Duniverse falling

The ground split right between us and that concrete

A SeparEated my lDove, I could hear her calling

Separated, but I could hear her callingC#m

Goodbye forever,D never see you again

Otherside

Key: EmMedium

Em Oh girl, this Gboat is sinking,

D There's no sea Emleft for me,

Em And how the Gsky gets heavy

D When you are underneath it

EmOh I Gwant to sail aDway from hereEm

And CGod

He came Gdown down down down down down down down

And Csaid

BNothing

Verse:

Em He rolled up asked him what he was sippin' on

G Said lean, you wanna hit it dawg?

D That's the same stuff Weezy sippin' huh?

Em And tons of other rappers that be spittin' hard

Em Yep yep he had 5 up on

G When he passed him that Styrofoam

D The Easter pink, heard it in a rhyme before

Finally got to see what all the hype was on

And then he Emtook a sip sittin' in the Lincoln

G Thinking he was pimpin' as he listened to the system

D Little did he know that it was just as addictive as Embass

Not the kind of hit from the kick drum

C Hot box let the bass bump

Take it to face, gulp

G Months later the use went up

And every blunt was accompanied by the pink stuff

C But Goddamn he loved that feeling

Purple rain coated in the throat

Just so Bhealin'

Medicine alleviate the sickness

Liquid to fix and it comes with a cost

EmWake up, cold sweat, scratchin', itchin'

G Trying to escape the skin that barley fit him

DGone, get another bottle just get a couple swEmallows headed towards the bottom

Couldn't get off it

Em Didn't even think he had a problem

G Though he couldn't sleep without getting nauseous

D Room spinnin'

Thinking he might of sipped just a little bit too much of that cough syrup

Em His eyelids closed shut

G Sat back in the chair

Clutching that cup

D Girlfriend came and a couple of hours later sEmaid his name

Shook him, but he never got up

C Never got up, never got up

G We live on the cusp of death thinkin' that it won't be us

C It won't be us, it won't be us,B it won't be us

Nah, it won't be us

Chorus

Em And he just wanted to act like them

G He just wanted to rap like him

D Us as rappers underestimate the pEmower and the effects we have on these kids

Em Blunt passed

Ash in a tin, Gpack being pushed, harassed by the feds

D The fact of it is most people that rap like this talkin' about some shit they haven't lived

Em Surprise, you know the drill

G Trapped in a box declined record sales

D Follow the formula

Violence, drugs and sex Emsells

So we try to sound like someone else

C This is not Californication

There's no way to glorify this pavement

G Syrup, percocet, and an eighth day will leave you broke, depressed and emotionally vacant

D Despite how Lil Wayne lives

It's not conducive to being creative

B And I know cause he's my favorite

And I know cause I was off that same mix

Em Rationalize the shit that I Gtry after I listen to dedication

D But he's an alien

I sip that sEmhit pass out or play PlayStation

Em Months later I'm in the same place

G No music made, feeling like a failure

D And trust me it's not dope to be 25 and move back to your parents basement

Em I've seen my peoples dreams die

G I see what they can be denied

D And "weeds not a drug" that's denial

Groundhog day life repeat each time

Em I've seen Oxycontin take 3 lives

G I grew up with them, we used to chief dimes

D I've seen cocaine bring out the demons iEmnside

Cheatin' and lyin'

Friendship Emcease, no peace in the mind

Stealin' and Gtakin' anything to fix the pieces inside

D Broken, hopeless, headed no where

EmOnly motivation for what the dealer's supplyin'

C That rush, that drug, that dope

Those pills, that crumb, that roach

G Thinkin' I would never do that

Not that drug

Growin' up nobody ever does

C Until you're stuck lookin' in the mirror

Like I can't believe what I've become

G Swore I was gonna be someone

And growin' up everyone always does

C We sell our dreams and our potential to escape through that buzz

B Just keep me up, keep me up

Hollywood here we come

Starting Over

Key: AmMedium

AmGCF

Am G C 1,2, now

Part 1

Those Amthree-plus years, I was Gso proud of

Then I Cthrew them all away for two FStyrofoam cups

The Amirony, everyone will Gthink that "He lied to me"

Made my sobCriety so public, there's no fucking privacy

If AmI don't talk about it then I Gcarry a date

A "0C8/10/08" that Fnow has been changed

And everyAmone that put me in some Gbox as a saint

That I never Cwas, just a false prophet that never came

And will they Amthink that everything that I've Gwritten has all been fake?

Or will I Cjust take my slip to the Fgrave?

AmWhat the fuck are my paGrents gonna say?

The sucCcess story that got his life together and changed

And you Amknow, what pain looks Glike

When you tell your dad you Crelapsed and look at him diFrectly into his face

AmDeceit on your shoulders, deGceivingly heavy weight

Haven't Cseen tears like this on my girl in a while

The Amtrust that I once built has been beGtrayed

But I'd rather Clive telling the truth and be Fjudged for my mistakes

Than Amfalsely held up, given Gprops, loved and praised

I guessC, I gotta get this on the page

FeelinAmg sick and helpless,G lost the compass where self is

CI know what I've gotta do,F and I can't help it

AmOne day at a tiGme is what they tell us

CNow I've gotta find a way to tell them

Am G C God help 'em,F yeah

AmOne day at a tiGme is what they tell us

CNow I've gotta find a way to tell them

AmWe fall,G so hard,

Cnow we gotta Fget back what we AmlostG, Clost

AmI thoughtG you?d gone,

Cbut you were Fwith me all aAmlongG, aClong

Part 2

AmAnd every kid that Gcame up to me

And said CI was the music they listened to Fwhen they first got clean

Now look at Amme, a couple days Gsober, I'm fighting demons

CBack of that meeting on the East Side, shaking, tweaking

AmHope that they don't see it, hopGe that no one is looking

That Cno one recognizes that failFure under that hoodie

Just Amposted in the back with my Ghands crossed, shooken

If they Ccall on me I'm passin', if they talk to me I'm booking

Out that Amdoor, but before, I can Gmake it

Somebody stops me Cand says "Are you Macklemore?

FMaybe this isn't the place or Amtime, I just wanted to Gsay that

If it wasn't for 'COtherside,' I wouldn't have made it"

I just looked Amdown at the ground and say, "GThank you"

She tells me she has Cnine months, and that she's so Fgrateful

Tears in her Ameyes, looking like she's gonna Gcry, fuck

I barely got Cforty-eight hours, treated like I'm some wise monk

AmI want to tell her I reGlapsed, but I can't

I just Cshake her hand and tell her, "ConFgrats"

Get back to my Amcar, and I think I'm tripping, Gyeah

Cause God wrote "COtherside," that pen was in my hand

I'm just a flawed Amman, man, I fucked Gup

Like so many Cothers, I just never thought I Fwould

I never thought I Amwould, didn't pick up the Gbook

Doin' it by myCself didn't turn out that good

If AmI can be an example of Ggetting sober

Then I can Cbe an example of starting Fover

If AmI can be an example of Ggetting sober

Then I can Cbe an example of starting over

AmWe fall,G so hard,

Cnow we gotta Fget back what we AmlostG, Clost

AmI thoughtG you?d gone,

Cbut you were Fwith me all aAmlongG, aClong

Wings

Key: EmCapo 3Medium

IEm was seven years old, when I gCot my first pair

I stepped outside

And I was like, Momma G, this air bubble right here, it's gonna make me flyB

I hit that couEmrt, and when I jumped, I jCumped, I swear I got so high

I touched theG net, Mom I touched the net.. this is the besBt day of my life

Air Max's were next, Em

That air bubble, that mesh

The box,C the smell, the stuffin, the tread.

AmAt school, I was so cool

I knew that I couldn't crease 'em

My friendGs couldn't afford 'em

Four striBpes on their Adidas

On the court I waEmsn't the best, but my kicks were like the pro's

Yo,C I stick out my tongue so everyone could see that logo

NiAmke Air Flight , book bag was so dope

And then my friend Carlos' broBther got murdered for his Fours, whoa

SeeEm he just wanted a jump shot, but they wanted his Starter coat though

DidCn't wanna get caught, from Genesee Park to Othello

YoEmu get clowned for those Pro Wings, with the velcro

Those were not tight

IB was trying to fly without leaving the ground,

cuz I wanted to be likEme Mike, right

Wanted to be him C

I wanted to be that guy, I wanted to toGuch the rim

I wanted to be cool, and I wanted to fit in

BI wanted what he had, America, it begins

I Emwant to fly

Can you take me far awCay

GAmive me a star to reach for

TeGll me what it takes B

(Chords repeat)

And I'll go so high

I'll go so high

My feet won't touch the ground

Stitch my wings

And pull the strings

I bought these dreams

That all fall down

WEme want what we can't have, commodity makes us want it

SoC expensive, damn, I just got to flaunt it

GoGt to show 'em, so exclusive, this that new shoe

A Bhundred dollars for a pair of shoes I would never hoop in

LoEmok at me, look at me, I'm a cool kid

I'Cm an individual, yea, but I'm part of a movement

MAmy movement told me be a consumer and I consumed it

They told meG to just do it, I listened to what that swoosh saidB

LoEmok at what that swoosh did

See it consumed my thoughts C

Are you stupid, don't crease 'em, just leave 'em in that box

StEmrangled by these laces, laces I can barely talk

ThBat's my air bubble and I'm lost, if it pops

WeEm are what we wear, we wear what we are

But see I looCk inside the mirror and think Phil Nike tricked us all

WiGll I stand for change, or stay in my box

These Nikes help Bme define me, but I'm trying to take mine, off

(Instrumental bit)

My feet won't touch the ground

So stitch my wings

And pull the strings

I bought these dreams

That all fall down

EmCAmGB

ThEmey started out, with what I wear to school

That first day, liCke these are what make you cool

And this pair, this Gwould be my parachute

So much more than just aB pair of shoes

Nah, this is what I am Em

What I wore, this is the source of my youth

This dream thaCt they sold to you

For a hundred dollars and some Amchange

Consumption is in the veins

And now I see it's jusGt another pair of shoes B

GIf I could read the world my notebook and these thoughts in it

CWould they judge me or love me for what I've written?

CCan you remember your intention when they question yours?

GThey're gonna question yours, they're gonna question yours

White Walls

Key: DEasy

Hey guys and gals. After listening to the song a few times, I feel pretty

safe saying the Chorus is just D and G repeated and it sounds like the rest

of the song follows those two chords for the most part. Get a feel for the

rhythm and go to town. If anyone has any corrections or anything, feel free

to leave a comment or email me at email protected to tell me how wrong

or right I am. So without further ado!

I wanna be free, I wanna just live

Inside my Cadillac, That is my shit

And I throw it up (I throw that up)

Thats what it is (thats what it is)

In my C A D I L L A C bitch (bitch)

Cant see me through my tints (nah ah)

Im riding real slow (slow motion)

In my paint wet dripping shining like my 24s (umbrella)

I dont got 24s (no oh)

But Im on those Vogues

Thats those big white walls, round them hundred spokes

Old school like old English in that brown paper bag

Im rolling in that same whip that my granddad had

Hello, haters, damn yall mad

30k on the Caddy, now how backpack rap is that?

I got that Doff-black Cadillac, midnight drive

I got that Ggas pedal, leaned back, taking my time

Im bDlowin that roof off, letting in sky

I Gshine, the city never looked so bright

Man Im lounging in some shit Bernie Mac wouldve been proud of

Looking down from heaven like damn thats stylish

Smilin, dont pay attention to the mileage

Can I hit the freeway? Im legally going a hundred and twenty

Easy weaving in and out of the traffic

They cannot catch me, Im smashing

Im ducking bucking them out here

Im like go fucking fantastic, I am up in a classic

Now I know what its like under the city lights

Riding into the night, driving over the bridge

The same one we walked across as kids

Knew Id have a whip but never one like this

Old school, old school, Candy paint, two seater

Yea, Im from Seattle, Theres hella Honda Civics

I couldnt tell you about paint either

But I really wanted a Caddy so I put in the hours

And roll on over to the dealer

And I found the car, junior, theres a problem with this geezer

Got the keys in and as I was leaving I started screaming

I got that Doff-black Cadillac, midnight drive

Got that Ggas pedal, leaned back, taking my time

Im bDlowin that roof off, letting in sky

I Gshine, the city never looked so bright

Backwoods and dope

White hoes in the backseat snorting coke

She doing line after line like shes writing rhymes

I had it hella my love, tryna blow her mind

Cadillac pimpin, my uncle was on

14 years I stole his keys me and my niggas was gone

Stealin portions of his liquor, water in his Patron

Drivin smiling like I won the fucking lottery homes

(fuckin lottery homes)

Tires with the spokes on it in the Vogues, too

Mustard and mayonnaise, keeping the buns on em

My dogs hanging out the window

Young as whoosh, fucking like we ball

Tryna fuck em all, kill the fucking wimps

See whats poppin at the mall, meet a bad bitch

Slap her booty with my palms

You can smoke the pussy, I was tearing down the walls

Im motherfuckin off

Son, swear these eyes tryna hypnotize

Grip the leather steering wheel while I grip the thighs

See the lust stuck up in her eyes

Maybe she like the ride or did she like the smoke?

Or does she want it low?

This shit a Coupe de Ville so youll never know

So we cool with niggas, my nigga fuck the limit

Got a window tinted for showing gangstas in it

Slice off when the gas is finished, Q

I got that Doff-black Cadillac, midnight drive

Got that Ggas pedal, leaned back, taking my time

Im bDlowin that roof off, letting in sky

I Gshine, the city never looked so bright

Got that Doff-black Cadillac, midnight drive

Got that Ggas pedal, leaned back, taking my time

Im bDlowin that roof off, letting in sky

I Gshine, the city never looked so bright

My Oh My

Key: CCapo 1Medium

C I used to sit with my dad in the garage

That sawdust that pine sol and the moss

Around every spring when the winter thaw

We'd huddle around the radio twist the broken knob

C710 AM no KJR Dave NCiehaus voice would echo throughout the yard

Couldn't have bCeen older than 10

But to me and my friends

The voice Con the other end might as well have been God's

F1995 the division series

FEdgars up to bat

Bottom of the 11th inning got the whCole town listening,

Swung on and beltedC the words that started, Joey Cora rounds third

HEmere comes Griffey the thrGow to the plate's not in tCime

My oh my the MGariners win it

YAmes, fire works they lit Gup ceiling in the kFing dome

We had jCust made history.

Dave Niehaus announcing:

And swung, Lined down the left field line for a base hit!

Here comes Joey! Here comes Junior to third base!

They're gonna wave him in! the throw to the plate will be late!

The Mariners are going to plFay for the American League Championship!

I dCon't believe it! It just continues! MY OH MY!

C Laces woven barley holdin' that stitch

The creases are time amongst the grime and the grit

Where the leather he used to pound his fists

To some it's just a mitt, but see that glove was him

Yep, tell me stCories on the field with that sun stained brim

BlCood under my chin, he taught me how to spit

SCunflower seeds back when me and my crew sun burnt Carms

Big league chew, yeah we were like the sFand lot after dinner

After practice we listen to the FM's in the kitchen

And if mom wasn't trippin' come on dCad please I swear just one more inning

VCoice went pump pump through the system break out the REmye bread it's grGand salami time

My oh MCy another victGory yes, my cAmity my city.

ChildhGood my life watchin' GrFiffey right under those lCights

AmGFC

CGAmFGGEmG

Under that lCight rain gleaming in thatG night came, can't stAmop now

Keep moving no brFeak pads cGame here to prove a point, live my lGife on the field

Make hEmistory in between the bGase path

And compCete against the fear that is Gin me that's my only barrAmier and I swear I'm going to brFeak that

From the mGud the cleats that we drGug threw the feet this is that mEmoment and you cannot tGake it back

Am I don't really collect cGards anymore, just a bFox and some old card bCoard

Memories embAmedded in the dust, in the fGighters that age just like Fus livin' some where Coff in the drawer

C This is what you make of it yeah we play to win

Live it like we're under the lights of the stadium fEmight until the day that God decided to wave us in,

Right until he waves us in

It's my cCity my city childhood my life that's right right under those lights

My cEmity my city childhood that's right Niehaus

My oh My come on, my cCity my city childhood my life that's right under those lights

It's my cEmity my city childhood my life Niehaus My oh My Rest in pCeace.
