Church - Macklemore/Xperience.mp3

[00:40.68]Moms and pops, they used to take us to Church
[00:43.24]Saying, "If you don't believe, then the plan don't work"
[00:46.62]With the beatbox I got free on the pavement, I burst
[00:50.07]Music brought me to my knees, I found faith in a verse
[00:55.27]So dear Spirit, I know I gotta take a chance
[00:58.46]And my mistakes and shortcomings finally made a man
[01:01.82]I got some issues, I got problems, gotta make amends
[01:05.12]I watch my daughter gigging in the kitchen
[01:07.35]To the safety dance
[01:08.65]This shit right here, we call love
[01:11.59]You can't put that into words, but feel that in your gut
[01:15.00]The goosebumps on my arms, I watch the fallen sun
[01:18.25]Kiss my daughter and say thank God as I wake up
[01:21.71]Oh, I know
[01:22.69]Yeah, I know now, and I'm up
[01:26.05]But I'm aware that it goes down
[01:28.16]Travelled 'round the globe, I needed to slow down
[01:31.64]That's right
[01:32.61]And no better feeling riding 'round in my hometown
[01:35.10]Hope I'm feeling this good when it's Monday morning
[01:38.61]Been doing my own thing, can't say that I'm sorry
[01:41.86]And I can only pray someday that' we'll all be
[01:45.30]More than just okay, we can be so free
[01:48.72]And I can get fly with you
[01:51.45]Ride with you, shine with you, yeah
[01:55.87]And I can get fly with you
[01:58.28]Ride with you, shine with you, yeah
[02:03.87]Oh my God, oh my God
[02:06.51]No other person on this earth could ever take my job
[02:09.80]This my life, it was planned I can't take it off
[02:13.22]Bruised elbows, knees scraped, I learned to take a fall
[02:16.58]My mistake, my mistake, karma waits, karma waits
[02:21.16]But I'll be brave, I'll be brave
[02:23.52]The pain stings more than I could take, I could take
[02:27.01]I learn more from loss than the gain, than the gain
[02:30.49]New state of mind, I feel like taking my time
[02:33.97]And that laidback reclines, still pushing that '85
[02:37.40]Like windows down, city passing by, like a timelapse
[02:41.19]The weatherman be tripping
[02:42.49]So that ceiling got that white rag, ay
[02:45.51]We came so far
[02:47.48]Just some kids in the city trying to make some art
[02:51.02]Leave some change in the fountain, hope to make my mark
[02:54.23]You see I was given a role, never played my part
[02:57.43]Hope I'm feeling this good when it's Monday morning
[03:00.86]Been doing my own thing, can't say that I'm sorry
[03:04.11]And I can only pray someday that' we'll all be
[03:07.56]More than just okay, we can be so free
[03:11.00]And I can get fly with you
[03:13.67]Ride with you, shine with you, yeah
[03:18.16]And I can get fly with you
[03:20.44]Ride with you, shine with you, yeah
[03:39.56]I can have a life to- I have life today
[03:42.31]I rely on that constant communication with my higher power
[03:45.83]More so than anybody these days
[03:48.00]And I realized, that's kinda all I need
[03:49.91]And then, of course, y'all appear, right
[03:52.30]Y'all appear, things appear, and situations appear
[03:55.12]And I realize, that's God working through me
[03:57.60]If I allow myself to be that vessel
