Victory Lap Lyrics - The Heist [deluxe Edition] - Macklemore

And they say, "Don't forget where you come from 

Don't die holding on to your words 

Cause you know you got a whole world to change 

But understand who you got to change first" 

And I was like "Fuck that", humility bust back 

I remember the days with nothing but a bus pass 

I was just a little shorty hoping that I could find a bum to buy a 40 for me 

And have enough for a bud sack 

Yeah, and I dance on that instrumental 

Unorthodox like Basquiat with the pencil 

Give me a microphone and a beat box I could vent to 

Music the only medium that I could find myself through 

Recluse, sipping on some lean I would let loose 

Looking in the mirror, watching myself lose 

Cleaned up in '08, got a job making barely minimum wage 

To get into that page 

Hit the road with RL, performing in front of 8 people 

And that shit will check your ego 

About around that time I'm watching that EP go 

From nothing to getting us booked around the country 

I know no limits, life can change in an instant 

8 People turn into sold out shows in a minute 

And I'm watching my pops in the back row grinning 

With his glass up to my mom, toasting this Guinness

And we on (we on) 

Good music, it lies in the ambiance 

When we leave here 

Will these words live on 

Till then, we keep on making the songs 

So put 'em up, up up, up up (so high) 

So put 'em up, up up, up up (so high) 

So put 'em up, up up, up up (so high) 

Put 'em up, up up, up up (so high) 

So put 'em up, up up, up up (so high) 

So put 'em up, up up, up up (so high)

I remember that Freshman edition 

Last year thinking to myself like 

Yah, nah, I won't win it yet 

Probably won't get it, but I'm gonna give it everything 

Play my position 

The next 11 months I gave it all everything I had left in me 

Left blood, sweat, tears in every god damn city 

No label, no deal, no publicist, indie 

Just music that connected and fans that rode with me 

Throw me a gold mine, and a co-sign 

While you're riding a couple dope rides 

2 women, both dimes 

Not gonna lie, that shit sounds so nice 

But I got creative control and my souls mine 

I wouldn't trade it, maybe I'm crazy 

I put on for my city 

Seattle that raised me 

Rule 4080, it's really not changing 

Now a days make good music, the people are your label 

So put 'em up, up up, up up (so high) 

So put 'em up, up up, up up (so high) 

So put 'em up, up up, up up (so high) 

Put 'em up, up up, up up (so high) 

So put 'em up, up up, up up (so high) 

So put 'em up, up up, up up (so high) 

Oh my god, feels like a victory lap 

Can I have that moment 

Can I talk my shit 

And they say, "Don't forget where you come from 

Don't die holding on to your words 

Cause you know you got a whole world to change 

But understand who you got to change first" 

Put 'em up, up up, up up 

Up, up up, up up 

Up, up up, up up 

Macklemore, Ryan Lewis, Seattle 

Put 'em up, up up, up up 

Up, up up, up up (so high)
