Fake I.d. Lyrics - The Language Of My World - Macklemore

When I was 17 I was staying in NYC 

And my homie told me where I could get a fake Id 

"Aiyo son you better get that shit when you in NY" 

So I hopped on the subway and I gave it a try 

Plesant surprise the Id looked fine 

5'9, blues eyes, born in 1979 

Nervous as hell I went to the store with my homie 

Came out and yelled "Dawg they sold me a 40" 

You know that I was the man 

Buying the contraband with a fake ass hologram 

No more looking for bums, standing in the rain 

Stranded on Broadway and giving 'em all my change 

For the rest of the summer man I was on fades 

17, had it made, getting drunk everyday 

Eh, I got treated a whole new way 

Because of a piece of plastic that proved I was of age

You know what I'm saying, all of a sudden you get this little piece of plastic and you're in the club. 

Now for the next three years I had so much fun 

Getting drunk in Hip-Hop clubs where you had to be 21 

Then one day I was walking and I saw a sign 

That said KRS-One 21 up and live 

That's hella tight 

Aiyo I heard he always ripped it 

So I hopped up in my Civic and went out to by a ticket 

When I got up the the door the bouncer checking Id's 

Looks at mine and he's like "Nah we don't take these" 

I tried to reach and grab my shit back 

But the mother fucker was tougher than Shaq, on crack 

I should of punched him, but I would have reached his knee cap 

And that probably wouldn't have hurt him very much 

He kept laughing and smilin' and he called me a dumb shit 

And if I would of let myself I would have cried in public 

Oh no, I'm like give it back bro 

But no, my Id was jacked by the Caucasian Deebo 

Photos 

Ha I'm laughing right now but at the time it really was not funny and it's still not very funny. Fucker 

Bitch why you got to take my Id? 

Why do I have to be 21 to drink a Long Island Ice tea? 

I hate bouncers with their bald heads and ten foot long legs and shirts that they outgrew when they were like ten 

Get 'em 

Your mother is dumb for having you 

You're a bouncer because you have a small dick and as a kid everyone laughed at you 

Get 'em 

You're too big and you never seemed to listen 

You look injected with the shit they give to KFC chickens 

Get 'em 

I don't like ya, at all I despise you 

If I was tall I would fight you 

If I was a dog I would bite you 

Every single day you make people cry 

And your job is to go and ruin teenager's lives 

Ok I'm going too far bouncers aren't all bad 

I'm sure they make great husbands and really strong dads 

But hopefully you learned a lesson from me 

Never take an MC's fake Id 

Yup, I said never take an MC's fake Id 

You could be buff and tough, it don't matter to me 

'Cause you're going to get burned if you step to MCs
