Macklemore, Xperience - Church lyrics
[Macklemore, Xperience - Church lyrics]
Moms and pops, they used to take us to church
Saying "If you don't believe
Then the prayin' don't work"
With the beatbox I got free on the pavement
I'm first 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 giggin' 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 fallin' sun
Kiss my daughter and say "Thank
God" as I wake up
Oh, I know, 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
Hope I'm feeling this good
When it's Monday mornin'
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
I can get fly with ya, ride
With ya, shine with ya, yeah
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 wait's, karma wait's
But, I'll be brave, I'll be brave
The pain seems 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 Lac
Windows down, city passing by
Like a timelapse
The weatherman be trippin', so that
Ceiling got that white rag, ay
We came so far, just some kids in the city
Tryna 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
Hope I'm feeling this good
When it's Monday mornin'
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
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
Saying "If you don't believe
Then the prayin' don't work"
With the beatbox I got free on the pavement
I'm first music brought me to my knees
I found faith in a verse
So dear Spirit, I know I gotta take a chance
