Church Lyrics - The Unplanned Mixtape - Macklemore

[Verse 1: Macklemore] 

Moms and pops, they used to take us to church 

Saying "If you don't believe, then the prayin' don't work" 

With the beatbox I got free on the pavement, I'm first 

Music brought me to my knees, I found faith in a verse 

So dear Spirit, I know I gotta take a chance 

And my mistakes and shortcomings finally made a man 

I got some issues, I got problems, gotta make amends 

I watch my daughter giggin' in the kitchen to the safety dance 

This shit right here, we call love 

You can't put that into words, but feel that in your gut 

The goosebumps on my arms, I watch the fallin' sun 

Kiss my daughter and say "Thank God" as I wake up 

Oh I know, yeah, I know now 

And I'm up, but I'm aware that it goes down 

Travelled 'round the globe, I needed to slow down 

And no better feeling riding 'round in my hometown

[Chorus: Xperience] 

Hope I'm feeling this good when it's Monday mornin' 

Been doing my own thing, can't say that I'm sorry 

And I can only pray someday that we'll all be 

More than just okay, we can be so free 

And I can get fly with ya, ride with ya, shine with ya, yeah 

I can get fly with ya, ride with ya, shine with ya, yeah 

[Verse 2: Macklemore] 

Oh my God, oh my God 

No other person on this earth could ever take my job 

This my life, it was planned, I can't take it off 

Bruised elbows, knees scraped, I learned to take a fall 

My mistake, my mistake 

Karma waits, karma waits 

But I'll be brave, I'll be brave 

The pain seems more than I could take, I could take 

I learn more from loss than the gain, than the gain 

New state of mind, I feel like taking my time 

And that laidback reclines, still pushing that '85 Lac 

Windows down, city passing by, like a timelapse 

The weatherman be trippin', so that ceiling got that white rag, ay 

We came so far, just some kids in the city tryna make some art 

Leave some change in the fountain, hope to make my mark 

You see I was given a role, never played my part

[Chorus: Xperience] 

Hope I'm feeling this good when it's Monday mornin' 

Been doing my own thing, can't say that I'm sorry 

And I can only pray someday that we'll all be 

More than just okay, we can be so free 

And I can get fly with ya, ride with ya, shine with ya, yeah 

I can get fly with ya, ride with ya, shine with ya, yeah 

[Outro] 

I can have a life to- I have life today. I rely on that constant communication with my higher power, more so than anybody these days. And I realized, that's kinda all I need. And then, of course, y'all appear, right, y'all appear, things appear, and situations appear. And I realize, that's God working through me, if I allow myself to be that vessel.
