[Verse 1: Macklemore]
Return of the Mack 94
Get ’em, what it is, what it does, what it is, what it isn’t 95
Looking for a better way to get up out of bed
Instead of getting on the Internet and checking a new hit me, get up 96
Thrift shop, pimp strut walking 97
Little bit of humble, little bit of cautious 98
Somewhere between like Rocky and Cosby 99
Sweater game nope nope y’all can’t copy 100
Yup, Bad, moonwalking, this here is our party 101
My posse’s been on Broadway, 102 and we did it our way 103
Grown music, I shed my skin and put my bones
Into everything I record to it and yet I’m on 104
Let that stage light go and shine on down
Got that Bob Barker suit game and plinko in my style 105
Money, stay on my craft and stick around for those pounds
But, I do that to pass the torch and put on for my town 106
Trust me, on my I-N-D-E-P-E-N-D-E-N-T shit hustlin’107
Chasing dreams since I was fourteen 108
With the four-track, bussing
Halfway cross that city with the backpack 109
Fat cat, crushing labels out here, nah, they can’t tell me nothing 110
We give that to the people, spread it across the country
Labels out here, nah they can’t tell me nothing
We give it to the people, spread it across the country 111
[Hook x2: Ray Dalton]
Can we go back, this is the moment
Tonight is the night, we’ll fight ’til it’s over 112
So we put our hands up like the ceiling can’t hold us
Like the ceiling can’t hold us 113
[Verse 2]
Now can I kick it, thank you
Yeah, I’m so damn grateful 114
I grew up really wanting gold fronts
But that’s what you get when Wu-Tang raised you 115
Y’all can’t stop me
Go hard like I got a 808 in my heart beat 116
And I’m eating at the beat like you gave a little speed
To a great white shark on Shark Week, raw! 117
Tell me go up, gone, deuces, goodbye, I got a world to see
And my girl, she wanna see Rome, Caesar’ll make you a believer 118
Nah, I never, ever did it for a throne, that validation comes
From giving it back to the people, now sing a song and it goes like 119
“Raise those hands, this is our party
We came here to live life like nobody was watching” 120
I got my city right behind me, if I fall, they got me 121
Learn from that failure, gain humility, and then we keep marching, I said 122
[Hook]
[Bridge x2]
Na na na na, na na na na
Hey-ee ay-ee ay-ee ay ay-ee ay-ee, hey
And all my people say
Na na na na, na na na na
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
And all my people say 123
Mack-le-eh-eh-eh-eh-more!
[Hook]
[Music Video Ending x2]
Let the night come, before the fight’s won
Some might run against the test
Yeah those that triumph embrace the fight cos
The fear is there to prove that courage exists 124
Hope [x5]
3Macklemore is announcing his return into the hip hop scene following a break of seven years. Return of the Mack is a line that is a reference to Mark Morrison’s 1996 hit by the same name. Mark is a British R&B singer.
He is here to represent or teach a lesson in the hip hop genre. This line has also appeared in his song ‘Vipassana.’
Macklemore’s songs are performing well on the charts and his music is available through the media as well as online, so when he wakes up the first thing that he sees is videos of himself online. In the video of Ryan Lewis’s song ‘Fake Empire,’ Macklemore is featured waking up.
These could be some of the activities that he engages in when he wakes up but also ‘Thrift Shop’ is his song.
He admits he can go a little on the wild side like in his song ‘Thrift Shop’ but he always to tries to remain true to his roots. The pronunciation of the word cautious sounds close to Cassius, this is a reference to the professional boxer, the famous Muhammad Ali, who is considered one of the greatest in the ring, through which he introduces his next line in the song.
Macklemore describes his music as a mixture of a little jabbing, hence the reference to the boxer Rocky Balboa, a creation of Sylvester Stallone inspired partially by the boxing legend Rocky Marciano and a little bit of comedy, featuring Cosby. Bill Cosby is an American actor, writer, producer and educator, however, besides all these accomplishments he is best known for his family comedy. Macklemore considers these two, who coincidentally are from Philadelphia, to be a good influence for the basis of his music. The two are also from different races, which gives his fans the message that he is reaching out to all.
This is another reference to the two above, Rock sweats a lot in his matches and is therefore a sweat(er), while Cosby on the other hand is well known for his Coogi sweaters. Macklemore on his part loves his sweaters too.
Macklemore loves his moonwalk, a dancing style made popular by Michael Jackson. His party, is a reference to the day one of his favourite teams, Seattle Seahawks won the Super Bowl and the party that they had afterwards.
He gives a nod to Sir Mix-a-lot, a Seattle rapper who dedicated his first hit single ‘Posse on Broadway,’ to his hometown. Posse on Broadway could also be his Alcoholic Anonymous group.
We did it our way is due to the fact that Macklemore and Ryan got the fame by doing it their way without being signed to any label. ‘My Way’ is song performed by Frank Sinatra and just goes to enforce that these two have made it in the music industry by doing what they want, when they want.
Macklemore is saying that since his entrance into the hip hop game he has matured, which shows that he knows what he wants in the game, what he intends to do to get it right and also his own personal growth, which is the reason that he has cited people who are influential to him that he would like to emulate.
He is now ready to perform for his audience and he is dressed for the part just like Bob Parker, also his step-grandfather, the host for the ‘Price is Right’ show. Plinko is one of the games on the show.
Macklemore is money minded as he peddles his craft but he is also representing his town, while acting as a role model. He is also vocal about policy issues back in Seattle.
Macklemore emphasizes the fact that his fame is a result of his own hard work, coupled with that of his partner, no corporates.
He gives the history of his beginnings into the hip hop world, 14 was the age when he started rapping and at 16 he released his first mixtape ‘Open Your yes.’
He describes his hustle when he was young, criss-crossing through town with a back pack to record his music at different places. He used to use a four track recorder to mix his audio tapes back then and it often meant moving from one location to another depending on the instrument that he needed.
He asserts his independence here from the corporate music business and the bigwigs that run the show.
He makes his music for the people and will perform all over the States to give his fans a taste of his music.
Macklemore is celebrating his major achievement against the main stream distributors and he indicates that he will keep producing and selling his music this way, probably until other independent artists are able to do the same.
In the meantime however, they intend to party up the place and blow the ceiling off.
Macklemore is grateful to his fans for their support and he can now get his game on. Now can I Kick it, could be about his drug and alcoholic related issues in which he had a relapse in 2011 but it is also the title of a song by A Tribe called Quest, which answers, that yes he can make it.
He talks of his desire to own gold fronts, which are caps placed on the teeth, which he says was an influence from listening to Wu-Tang Clan, a hip hop group made up of GZA, Methodman, RZA, Ghostface Killah among others who all hail from New York.
Now that he is in the limelight, Macklemore does not intend to shy away from using the stage. An 808 is an electronic drum kit that was quite a tool for up coming hip hop artists back then in the day, it was notable for its deep bass and such a deep bass is what is pounding in Macklemore’s heart due to all the excitement.
He will keep working his beat as if he is someone high on drugs or like a shark that just caught a meal on the Shark Week programme. The Great white shark is notorious for its stealth, speed and extra sharp teeth, which is the operating status that Macklemore and crew will utilize. Shark Face Gang is also the name that they use to describe themselves plus their fans.
He is off to meet his worldwide fans, while enjoying a little R&R. Caesar on the hand founded Roman Empire, and was know for his political changes in the newly formed empire and though elected as a dictator he ruled favourably. In recent times, some scholars have come to assert that Caesar, could be the figure on which Jesus is based on, either way he does make a good role model for Macklemore.
He says that his acceptance by his fans is what will lead him to the throne, so he does not intend to usurp power from anyone or that it is not his first goal, if he gets the crown, it will be because others have bestowed it on him. This can also explain his reference to Caesar.
Macklemore’s party goes on as they celebrate his achievements and at this party they can loosen up and even act stupid.
Macklemore as he said earlier, has built his fortunes and fame through his fans, who he trusts will be there for him even at his lowest moments. More importantly he has the support of his city.
He has no intention of letting fame get to his head and he intends to always be there for his people, learn from his mistakes and remain strong.
This is a chant to hype up the crowd.
This is a challenge to the system, he has conquered it through fighting even when faced with insurmountable fear, it is that fear that gave him hope to conquer his challenges, unlike some who run from the fight.
