The Town Lyrics - The Unplanned Mixtape - Macklemore

"First memories of Seattle Hip Hop" 

"I remember the Sit 'N Spin" 

"Listening to Rap Attack, listening to Nasty Nes on Rap Attack" 

"Silver Shadow D, B-Mello" 

"That Do the Math, just hit me in my dome" 

"The Poetry Experience, that's where I really started writing" 

"...was RKCNDY" 

"Many ciphers, many battles, many sidewalks" 

"Held underground parties in Langston Hughes" 

"...town shit"

Now when I say 2-0, you say 

Nah, you know the rest, 

This is our scene 

our music, our movement, the history lives through us 

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

Despite the drama, there's respect and camaraderie 

Every time one of my friends is mentioned in my philosophy 

It's a rite of passage, I'm not trying to be corny 

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

Every time somebody steps out on the road 

They bring a little Northwest soul with them, amen 

Alright then, just so you know 

I try to carry that everytime that I rock a show 

So, turn my sound up 

Ricochet off our mountain 

It's Good Medicine that Chief Sealth would of been proud of 

This is our city, town pride, heart, blood, sweat, tears, I-5, North, South side, vibe, live, ride down these city blocks 

And never will be stopped 

They tryin' to shut down the clubs that my city rocks 

Now Mr. Mayor why would you enforce an ordinance? 

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

And through the art form we've learned the importance of community 

Truth to the youth so they know what's up 

Yup, and as a public school student 

I learned from my teachers, but became through my music 

Take that away, that's a vital 

14 Fathoms Deep, Do the Math, Tribal 

My greatest teachers: B-Self and Vita 

Wordsayer was my mayor and things have changed 

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

Is lit everytime that I step on the stage 

The skyline is etched in my veins 

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

"Northwest, making you feel the vibe" 

"check how Seattle do" 

"coming to my side" 

"I mean I like how y'all do (thank you) but we on to new—" 

"Put it down for the town" 

"With music" 

"making you feel the vibe" 

"check how Seattle do" 

"coming to my side" 

"when my peeps know my crew bring the flame" 

"Put it down for the town" 

"Wearing that Seattle blue" 

 

That's right, when you put on a show 

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

Hitting the melly or sneaking in 'cause they're broke 

Now leaving in between sets because a needing to smoke 

The reason being whatever 

The scene from Beacon to Everett 

is in need of less ego when we kick it alright 

I get on stage, style, share my whole life 

Try to reach 'em at the bar where they're drinking Miller Lite 

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

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

I watch the older cats jaded in the back 

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

Hatin' at the concert 

You don't remember RKCNDY, watching Heiro, or vibing out to Alkaholiks 

I know it's not the same, it never will be 

But my, my, my, my city's filthy 

And we've been truly dope since Supreme was up on Broadway in the dookie rope 

Mean muggin' in Sir Mixalot's video 

Back when Scene was rockin' house parties on the floor 

JMG's, Sit N' Spin, and The Paradox 

Back when Marc introduced Geo to Sabz 

So much has changed here, so much has not 

I was just a kid hopin' I could earn my spot 

Try to get some props 

Meet a promoter who'll give me a shot 

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

Read a page out my notebook 

What I thought would be respected, they would connect with it 

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

Scattered thoughts jotted down by this pen in my palm 

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

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

 

"Northwest, making you feel the vibe" 

"check how Seattle do" 

"coming to my side" 

"I mean I like how y'all do (thank you) but we on to new—" 

"Put it down for the town" 

"With music" 

"making you feel the vibe" 

"check how Seattle do" 

"coming to my side" 

"when my peeps know my crew bring the flame" 

"Put it down for the town" 

"Wearing that Seattle blue"
