Church

[Macklemore]

Moms and pops, they used to take us to Church

Saying, "If you don't believe, then the plan don't work"

With the beatbox I got free on the pavement, I burst

Music brought me to my knees, I found faith in a verse

So dear Spirit, I know I gotta take a chance

And my mistakes and shortcomings finally made a man

I got some issues, I got problems, gotta make amends

I watch my daughter gigging in the kitchen to the safety dance

This shit right here, we call love

You can't put that into words, but feel that in your gut

The goosebumps on my arms, I watch the fallen sun

Kiss my daughter and say thank God as I wake up

Yeah, I know now, and I'm up, but I'm aware that it goes down

Travelled 'round the globe, I needed to slow down

And no better feeling riding 'round in my hometown

[Xperience]

Hope I'm feeling this good when it's Monday morning

Been doing my own thing, can't say that I'm sorry

And I can only pray someday that' we'll all be

More than just okay, we can be so free

And I can get fly with ya, ride with ya, shine with ya, yeah

And I can get fly with ya, ride with ya, shine with ya, yeah

[Macklemore]

Oh my God, oh my God

No other person on this earth could ever take my job

This my life, it was planned I can't take it off

Bruised elbows, knees scraped, I learned to take a fall

My mistake, my mistake, karma waits, karma waits

But I'll be brave, I'll be brave

The pain stings more than I could take, I could take

I learn more from loss than the gain, than the gain

New state of mind, I feel like taking my time

And that laidback reclines, still pushing that '85

Like windows down, city passing by, like a timelapse

The weatherman be tripping, so that ceiling got that white rag, ay

We came so far, just some kids in the city trying to make some art

Leave some change in the fountain, hope to make my mark

You see I was given a role, never played my part

[Xperience]

Hope I'm feeling this good when it's Monday morning

Been doing my own thing, can't say that I'm sorry

And I can only pray someday that' we'll all be

More than just okay, we can be so free

And I can get fly with ya, ride with ya, shine with ya, yeah

And I can get fly with ya, ride with ya, shine with ya, yeah

I can have a life to- I have life today

I rely on that constant communication with my higher power

More so than anybody these days

And I realized, that's kinda all I need

And then, of course, y'all appear, right

Y'all appear, things appear, and situations appear

And I realize, that's God working through me

If I allow myself to be that vessel
