three-twenty
You know what makes it worth it?
To watch someone progress,
To have them watch you
Someone that you respect and value and cry to
It’s something so comforting
‘cause it could bring so much truth
But that magic could be stagnant
if the relationship doesn’t move
The commitments to yourself
and that you’re always learning
To acknowledge you’re both perfect
and still wanna keep working
To progress as a person but as an individual entity
and then come together as a unit but still maintain that identiry
It sounds so elementary but it’s so complex,
it’s the most delicate balance to get away from attachments
Stand like a man, move like a legend
Talk, but with action, that’s how you’ll be remembered
The greats learned that humility is a weapon
Sever ties with the part of you too big to learn a lesson
Sit in silence, to fight the mind and try to find the present
‘cause you only get a couple chances to be EPIC
And I’m connected, like God plugged my headphones directly into heaven and told me to “Go and get ‘em”
With this mic cord, I am,
nothing you can tell me
They bark when they talk, but they walk like the lifeless
The purpose of my art is for people to respect me
I’m not a king, I’m a servant to the desires that tempt me
Only way to escape the cage from the valley of roots: Be a mirror to the people when they’re searching for truth
Only way to escape the cage from the valley of roots: Claim the mirror, my people, keep searching for you.
-Macklemore, Kings, The VS. EP
