[Verse 1: Macklemore]

Return of the Mack, get up!
What it is, what it does, what it is, what it isn't.
Looking for a better way to get up out of bed,
Instead of getting on the Internet and checking a new hit.
We get up, thrift shop,
Pimp [bad word] walking,
Little bit of humble, little bit of cautious,
Somewhere between like, Rocky and Cosby, Sweater Gang.
Nope, nope, y'all can't copy that
Bad moonwalkin', this, here, is our party.
My posse's been on Broadway, and we did it our way.
Grown music,
I shed my skin and put my bones
Into everything I record to it,
And yet I'm on,
Let that stage light go and shine on down,
Got the Bob Barker suit game
And Plinko in my style, 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.
 [bad word] me, on my i-n-d-e-p-e-n-d-e-n-t [bad word] hustlin'.
Chasing dreams since I was 14,
With the 4 track, bussing,
Halfway cross that city with the backpack, fat cat [bad word] #39;.
Labels out here, nah, they can't tell me nothing,
We give it 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.

[Hook: Ray Dalton] [x2]
And then we go back, this is the moment,
Tonight is the night, we'll fight till it's over.
So we put our hands up like the ceiling can't hold us,
Like the ceiling can't hold us.

[Verse 2: Macklemore]
Now, can I kick it? Thank you,
Yeah, I'm so [bad word] grateful.
I grew up really wanting gold fronts,
But that's what you get when Wu-Tang raised you.
Y'all can't stop me, I go hard
Like I've got an 808 in my heartbeat,
And I'm eating at the beat,
Like you gave a little speed
To a great white shark on Shark Week.
Raw! Time to go off? Gone. Deuces, goodbye.
I've got a world to see,
And my girl, she wanna see Rome,
Caesar'll make you a believer.
Nah, I never ever did it for a throne.
That [bad word] 
So I'm givin' it back to the people now.
Sing that song and it goes like...
Raise those hands, this is our party,
We came here to live life like nobody was watching
I got my city right behind me,
If I fall they got me.
Learn from that failure, gain humility,
Then we keep marching, I said...

[Hook: x2]

[Bridge:]
And all my people say...
