Jimmy Iovine Lyrics - The Heist - Ryan Lewis

I put my life on the line 

I roll them dice and I'm fine 

'Cause all I ever dreamt about was makin' it 

They ain't giving it, I'm taking it 

I'm taking it, taking it, they ain't giving it 

I'm taking it, taking it, they ain't giving it 

I'm taking it, taking it, they ain't giving it 

I'm taking it, taking it, I need all that shit 

If I just went in and stole it, the police would of notice 

Gotta be strategic, creepin', go in, leave with that motive 

Hold up, my plan is forming, alright, caseing this building 

Watch these rappers that rappin' walk in and leave out with millions 

Headed in sweatin', open that front door 

Interscope printed out right by the entrance, door closes 

Not a metaphor, then I start towards 

That front, that's right, where you check in 

Dressed in an uniform, acting like a janitor 

All blue, jumpsuit, why shoot? 

Bloodthirsty for the money like a bull 

Looking in the eyes of the matador (fuck you!) 

Carrying 2 cans of paint, security looks at me awkward 

I say third floor i'm late, paintin' jimmy iovine's office 

Holding my breath 'bout to faint 

I'm scared to death that he stops me 

Heart beating so loud you can hear the echo in that lobby 

And see I'm breaking down if I don't make it out 

Then i'm leaving town with that contract 

And i'm spazzing out, grabbin' the a&r out 

His chair and i'm taking him hostage 

I don't give a fuck, step into the elevator press 3 

Now i'm headed up (heist!) 

What they don't know is there is a gun in the paint can 

And i'm ready and willing to bust 'em, I'm fucking desperate 

Stuck in this recession, now what you think 

If I could get signed my life is destined 

My future depends on ink 

And secretary at the front of the entrance staring right at me 

I walk up she whispers go ahead and then gives me a wink 

I put my life on the line 

I roll them dice and I'm fine 

'cause all I ever dreamt about was makin' it 

They ain't giving it, I'm taking it 

I'm taking it, taking it, they ain't giving it 

I'm taking it, taking it, they ain't giving it 

I'm taking it, taking it, they ain't giving it 

I'm taking it, taking it, I need all that shit

If I get past security, the secretary, the cubicals 

But it's weird, it's like this room i've walked into is unusual 

Thought it would be shiny and beautiful 

Thought it would be alive and like musical 

But it feels like someone died, it's got the vibe of a funeral 

There's numbers on a chalkboard 

Cds boxed in cardboard 

Artists that flopped, that got dropped and never got to be sophomores 

Graphic designers are sitting around 

Waiting for albums that never come out 

Complainin' that they have nobody in house 

Wonderin' what they make art for 

I start thinking, am I in the right place? 

Just walk forward, see plaques on the wall 

Oh yea, in a second those will be all yours 

Finally see an office with a mounted sign, heaven sent 

Big block silver letters, read it out loud: president (nice!) 

This was my chance to grab that contract and turn and jet 

Right then felt a cold hand grab on the back of my neck 

He said: we've been watching you, so glad you could make it 

Your music gets so impressive in this whole brand you created 

You're one hell of a band, we here think you're destined for greatness 

And with that right song we all know that you're next to be famous 

Now i'm sorry, i've had a long day remind me, now what your name is? 

That's right, macklemore, of course, today has been crazy 

Anyway, you ready? we'll give you a hundred thousand dollars 

After your album comes out we'll need back that money that you borrowed 

So it's really like a loan, a loan? come on, no 

We're a team, 360 degrees, we will reach your goals! 

We'll get a third of the merch that you sell out on the road 

Along with a third of the money you make when you're out doing your shows 

Manager gets 20, booking agent gets 10 

So shit, after taxes you and ryan have 7% to split 

That's not bad, i've seen a lot worse, no one will give you a better offer than us (hmm) 

I replied I appreciate the offer, thought that this is what I wanted 

Rather be a starving artist than succeed at getting fucked
