Song | Jimmy Iovine (feat. Ab-Soul) |
Artist | Macklemore & Ryan Lewis |
Album | The Heist |
[00:14.39] | I put my life on the line |
[00:15.58] | |
[00:17.14] | I'm on and bassin', I'm fine |
[00:18.33] | |
[00:19.88] | Cuz all I ever dreamt about was making it |
[00:21.00] | |
[00:23.60] | They ain't giving it, I'm taking it |
[00:24.92] | |
[00:25.42] | I'm taking it, taking it, I ain't giving it |
[00:28.48] | I'm taking it, taking it, I ain't giving it |
[00:31.47] | I'm taking it, taking it, I ain't giving it |
[00:34.23] | I'm taking it, taking it, I need all that shit |
[00:37.00] | |
[00:44.33] | Nobody winnin' this slogurr |
[00:45.14] | The police would've noticed |
[00:46.83] | Gotta be strategic, I'm creepin' |
[00:48.15] | Go and leave with that motive |
[00:49.77] | Hold up, my plan is stormin' |
[00:51.27] | All right, casin' this building |
[00:52.83] | Watch these rappers that rap |
[00:54.33] | And walk in and leave that with millions |
[00:55.95] | Cut of that sweater, open that front door |
[00:57.70] | And it's gold printed out by the entrance door closes |
[00:59.83] | Then a metaphor, then I start chorus |
[01:01.39] | That part, that's right, meaning shotgun |
[01:02.77] | Dressed in an uniform, looking like a janitor |
[01:04.20] | All blue, jumpsuit, why shoot? |
[01:05.77] | Bloodthirsty and I'm bloody like a bull |
[01:06.90] | Looking in the eyes of the matador (fuck you!) |
[01:08.52] | Carrying 2 cans of paint |
[01:09.89] | Security looks at me awkward |
[01:11.53] | I say third floor I'm late |
[01:13.03] | painting Jimmy Iovine's office |
[01:13.78] | holdin' my breath ‘bout to fade |
[01:16.03] | I'm scared to death that he stops me |
[01:17.97] | Heart beating so loud you can hear the echo in that lobby |
[01:20.90] | And see I'm breakin' down if I don't make it out |
[01:22.78] | Then I'm leaving town with that contract |
[01:24.28] | And I'm spazzing out, I'm either in or out |
[01:25.78] | This chair and I'm taking them hostage |
[01:26.84] | I don't give a fuck, step into the elevator press three |
[01:29.03] | Now I'm headed up (east) |
[01:30.15] | Where they don't know there's a gun I the paint can |
[01:32.09] | And I'm ready and willing to bust ‘em, fuck'n desperate |
[01:33.40] | |
[01:34.19] | Stuck in this recession not what you think |
[01:36.50] | But if I sell out my luck is destined |
[01:38.13] | Might future depends on ink |
[01:39.75] | And secretary at the front of the entrance staring right at me |
[01:42.69] | I walk up, she whispers go ahead and then gives me a wink |
[01:45.56] | |
[01:46.31] | I put my life on the line |
[01:49.32] | I'm on and bassin', I'm fine |
[01:51.63] | |
[01:53.19] | Cuz all I ever dreamt about was making it |
[01:55.38] | They ain't giving it, I'm taking it |
[01:59.25] | I'm taking it, taking it, I ain't giving it |
[02:01.94] | I'm taking it, taking it, I ain't giving it |
[02:04.75] | I'm taking it, taking it, I ain't giving it |
[02:08.07] | I'm taking it, taking it, I need all that shit |
[02:11.13] | I go past security, the secretary, the cubicals |
[02:14.44] | But it's weird, it's like this room I've walked into is unusual |
[02:17.07] | Thought it'd be shiny and beautiful |
[02:18.69] | Thought it'd be alive and like musical |
[02:19.82] | But it feels like someone died, it's got the vibe of a funeral |
[02:22.88] | There's numbers on the chalkboard |
[02:25.25] | CD's box, they cardboard |
[02:26.19] | Artists they foxed that got dropped and never got to be sophomores |
[02:29.66] | |
[02:30.22] | Cover designers are sitting around |
[02:30.85] | Waiting for albums outthat never come |
[02:33.04] | Complainin' that they have nobody in house |
[02:34.42] | Wonderin' what they make art for |
[02:36.17] | I start thinking, am I in the right place? Just walk forwards |
[02:39.36] | See clocks on the wall |
[02:40.17] | Oh yea, and the second dose will be all yours |
[02:41.99] | |
[02:42.67] | Finally see an office with a melted sign, heaven sent |
[02:45.49] | Big block silver letters, read it out loud: President |
[02:48.68] | This was my chance to grab that contract and turn and jack |
[02:51.68] | Right then felt a cold hand grab on the back of my neck |
[02:54.87] | He said: we've been watching you, so glad you could make it |
[02:57.81] | Your music it's so impressive and this whole brand you created |
[03:00.93] | You one hell of a band, we here think you're destined for greatness |
[03:03.87] | And with that right song we all know that you're next to be famous |
[03:07.06] | Now I'm sorry, I've had a long day |
[03:08.81] | Remind me, now what your name is? |
[03:10.25] | That's right, Macklemore |
[03:11.68] | Of course, today has been crazy |
[03:13.19] | Anyway, you ready? |
[03:14.87] | We'll give you a hundred thousand dollars |
[03:16.12] | |
[03:16.81] | After your album comes out we'll need back that money that you borrowed |
[03:19.19] | So it's really like a loan? a loan? Come on |
[03:22.50] | No, we're a team, 360 degrees, we will reach your goals |
[03:25.47] | |
[03:25.98] | You'll get it done in the merch that you sell out on the road |
[03:28.73] | Along with the third of the money you make when you're out doing your show |
[03:32.09] | Manager gets 20, booking agent gets 10 |
[03:34.59] | So shit, after taxes you and Ryan have 7%? |
[03:38.03] | To split! |
[03:39.22] | That's not bad, I've seen a lot worse |
[03:41.03] | No one will give you a better offer than us |
[03:43.09] | |
[03:43.65] | I replied I appreciate the offer, though that this is what I wanted |
[03:47.53] | Rather be a starving artist than succeed at getting fucked |
[00:14.39] | I put my life on the line |
[00:15.58] | |
[00:17.14] | I' m on and bassin', I' m fine |
