My Language Lyrics - The Language Of My World - Macklemore

this is my language 

check it out, ya 

the risk of blunderin' to rep in front of a couple a hundred kids knowin' my licks is humblin' 

spit the struggle of an addict to puff in them swisher split but the light that was lit, i quickly run from it 

I turn away from that source inside, a slicker for happiness, thinkin' I need a store to buy it 

recordin's priceless but look at how important ice is 

I thought rhymin was forever now its imported diamonds 

my point is eyein', music that's absorbed my life an' 

you glorify guns, they bust sex and drugs of course they'll try it 

And I can't even front like I didn't, cause I still do and that's why i'm spittin'. 

I'm lookin' for this thing called moderation that I heard some found 

the only problem with drugs is sometimes you gotta come down 

i lived half my life numb and bud drowned and rum, vodka how many bucks 'ave I spent on dubstyle 

I'm 23, look at my lungs now, the amount of THC from the swish of sweet blunt count? 

I can't even conceive, that's why I run wild. In these streets like I was 13, like fuck now 

I make that revolution music. But not for the army, A reminder against the vices that harm me 

'Cause I could... never see how affected my lung is, you only get one shot at life, no ad-libs or punch ins

I said, this is my last song, so here's my passion, 18 tracks, each one an attempt to take my mask off 

Woo! The oral tradition's been passed on, while she ride the rhythm to the points that i'm a blast off 

Hah, And as the music absorbs through me to be like don p. to be hearin' beats from my dorm room
