Lirik Lagu The Town – Macklemore

 

[Verse 1]

Bm                  F#m first memories of Seattle hip hop

G I remember the Sit N’ Spin, listen to rap attack D

listen to Nasty Nas on Rap Attack, Silver Shadow Deep,

G

Mean Mello, that Do the Math Bm F#m

just hit me in my dome, Poetry Experience was where I really started writing

G Was Rock Candy, many ciphers, D G

many battles many sidewalks, we held underground parties in Langston Hughes, Town Shit

 

[Verse 1] Bm F#m

Now when I say 2-0, you say, Nah, G

you know the rest, this is our scene D

Our music, our movement, the history lives through us G

I write to the beat and let life play the guitar strings

Bm F#m Despite the drama, there’s respect and camaraderie G

Every time one of my friends is mentioned in my philosophy

D It’s a rite of passage, I’m not trying to be corny G

I got love for Sportn’ Life, Alpha P, Massline, and Onry

Bm F#m Every time somebody steps out on the road G

They bring a little Northwest soul with them, amen

D Alright then, just so you know G

I try to carry that everytime that I rock a show Bm F#m

So, turn my sound up, ricochet off our mountain

G It’s Good Medicine that Chief Sealth would of been proud of

D This is our city, town pride, heart, G

blood, sweat, tears, I-5, North, South side, vibe, live,

Bm F#m

ride down these city blocks, G

And never will we stopped, they tryin’ to shut down the clubs that my city rocks

D Now Mr. Mayor why would you enforce an ordinance?

G

Music it saves lives, these kids out here are supporting it

Bm F#m G And through the art form we’ve learned the importance of community

 

Truth to the youth so they know what’s up

D Yup, and as a public school student G

I learned from my teachers, but became through my music

Bm F#m Take that away, that’s a vital G

14 Fathoms Deep, Do the Math, Tribal

D My greatest teachers: Beasope and Bida

G

Wordsayer was my mayor and things have changed Bm F#m

But I carry the torch and what I do with that flame G

Is lit everytime that I step on the stage

D The skyline is etched in my veins G

You can never put that out, no matter how hard it rains

 

[Chorus]

Bm F#m Northwest, makin’ you feel the vibe,

G

check how Seattle, do come into my side, D

I mean I like how y’all do, but we on some new shit

G put it down for the town, re-real music

Bm F#m wet land, makin’ you feel the vibe,

G

check how Seattle, do come into my side,

Bm D what my peeps, when my crew bring the flame

G put it down for the town, wearin’ that Seattle blue

 

[Verse 2]

Bm F#m That’s right, when you put on a show G

And watch the people seat in between the creases and the doors

D

Hitting up Meli or sneaking in ‘cause they’re broke G

Now leavin’ in between sets because of needing to smoke Bm F#m

The reason being whatever the scene from Beacon to Everett G

Is in need of less ego when we kick it alright D

I get on stage, style, share my whole life G

Try to reach ‘em at the bar where they’re drinkin’ Miller Lite Bm F#m

But the kids in the front, they bring out the passion, dude G

Make noise throughout the show and not only when we ask ‘em to

D I watch the older cats, jaded in the back G

Hands clasped, forgot when they weren’t too cool to be a fan, damn

Bm F#m G

Hatin’ at the concert, you don’t remember RKCNDY, watching Heiro, or vibing out to Alkaholiks

D I know, it’s not the same, it never will be

G But my, my, my, my city’s filthy

Bm F#m G And we’ve been truly dope since Supreme was up on Broadway in the dookie rope D

Mean muggin’ in Sir Mixalot’s video G Back when Scene was rockin’ house parties on the floor Bm

JMG’s, Sit N’ Spin, and The Paradox

F#m G Back when Market introduced Geo to Sabz D

so much has changed here, so much has not, G

I was just a kid hopin’ I could earn my spot, try to get some props Bm F#m

Meet a promoter who’ll give me a shot G

To let me get up on stage and get the crowd to rock D G

Read a page out my notebook, what I thought would be respected, they would connect with it Bm F#m

Now looking over the city’s the only thing that keeps me calm G

Scattered thoughts jotted down by this pen in my palm D

It’s like my city stands still, the world looks on G

If I could only capture it’s beauty and put it in a song

 

[Chorus]

Bm F#m Northwest, makin’ you feel the vibe,

G

check how Seattle, do come into my side, D

I mean I like how y’all do, but we on some new shit

G put it down for the town, re-real music

Bm F#m wet land, makin’ you feel the vibe,

G

check how Seattle, do come into my side,

Bm D what my peeps, when my crew bring the flame

G put it down for the town, wearin’ that Seattle blue
