I love ❤️ that I’m an OG from a year no one here breathed oxygen in, and we can all reap the love from Ben Haggerty. Love you my Irish ☘️ brother. From Louisiana swamps your word is resonating.

      He is energized by the idea that HE is being ignored. It's all about himself? How forward/outward looking is that? While the music is great, the self obsession seems a weakness, not uncommon in this genre. Old school.

    [Verse 1: Macklemore]
    They told me that I vanished
    They told me that I had it
    They told me that I'm gone
    I told 'em, "Don't panic"
    When you've done it this long
    And you've seen magic
    And you know it won't kill you
    Even when the whole world doubts it
    This is my moment
    They can't take my talent
    They can't take my stripes
    They can't erase my hours
    I'm from the underground, anything above ground is a mountain
    I'm done tryna impress anybody, but the heavens where I'm headed
    You don't get to hold on me your flowers
    I am in my zonе, eyes on the thronе
    20k deep, better pull out your phones
    Turnin' the arena to believers every time I hit the ceilin'
    Ain't nobody ever touchin' my show
    Look at where we started, look at where we got to
    Almost OD'd that night in the hospital
    Wasn't gonna die, more life in the arsenal
    Got another shot to pull off the impossible
    [Chorus: Tones and I]
    There's no need to cry for me, I'm a fighter
    Fighter
    You can't take my voice from me, I will rise up
    Rise up
    So what are you waitin' for?
    I ain't ready to die yet
    The pain is where faith is born
    Are you alive yet? Are you alive yet?
    Are you alive?
    [Verse 2: Macklemore]
    On my grave, what quote will be etched in?
    Never played the game to be a contestant
    Never joined the league to ride benches
    The wins hit different when they don't expect it
    Yeah, and they ain't gotta like me
    Got my own Nikes, no Nike ID
    And I ain't tryin' to stunt, man
    But my logo went over the Jumpman
    I remember all I had was a bus pass
    Sellin' CDs to make a couple of bucks back
    And now I'm up in meetings and you better believe me
    Now that we got the arena, The Sonics makin' a comeback
    I'm not a businessman, I got children, man
    I treat my city like it is my fam
    'Til the residency gets a buildin' man
    Think I'm playin' 'bout mayor, but that is my plan
    You know what fifty thousand feels like
    When you question, "Is this real life?"
    The money doesn't buy happiness, that's facts
    'Til you take what you made and decide to give it back like that
    [Chorus: Tones and I]
    There's no need to cry for me, I'm a fighter
    Fighter
    You can't take my voice from me, I will rise up
    Rise up
    So what are you waitin' for?
    I ain't ready to die yet
    The pain is where faith is born
    Are you alive yet? Are you alive yet?
    Are you alive?
    [Verse 3: Macklemore]
    I was supposed to be a one hit ringer
    Now I got too many rings and not enough fingers
    Keep doing my thing, they keep chasin' the wave
    Thinkin' that they're gonna be the one to outpace age
    I must got Mick Jagger DNA
    Rollin' Stone bags, pre-check, no TSA
    I'll be seventy-eight, SM58 in my face
    Like, "Who wants to go next?" Nobody's touchin' my stage
    Their heads trippin' like a B-Boy head spinnin'
    I bench press the industry and I deadlift it
    It's been written, I've been runnin', it's been a minute
    Been done it, I bet you a hundred that I've been winnin'
    The Benz tinted, it's been vintage, yeah, Ben did it
    The crib I live in is like Ben Stiller's
    An evening at my house, a night at the museum
    Trophies, plaques all over and the view's decent
    At the end of the day, it's like, "Who needs it?"
    Play on, player, I gotta keep competin'
    Keep dreamin', won't settle for shit
    It isn't sport, it's my life, run the championship, I'm gone
    [Chorus: Tones and I]
    There's no need to cry for me, I'm a fighter
    Fighter
    You can't take my voice from me, I will rise up
    Rise up
    So what are you waitin' for?
    I ain't ready to die yet
    The pain is where faith is born
    Are you alive yet? Are you alive yet?
    Are you alive?
    [Outro: Tones and I]
    Are you alive?
    Are you alive?

      I do not like Tones & I at all however when it comes to her use as a feature here, Macklemore did make the most of her. She actually sounds good on this song and the combination of her and Macklemore worked much better than I had expected it would.
      Definitely one of the better Macklemore tracks in years, sounds like a return to the days of the Heist and This Unruly Mess I've Made which is only a good thing.

    LYRICS :-
    They told me that I vanished
    They told me that I had it
    They told me that I'm gone
    I told them, "Don't panic"
    When you've done it this long
    And you've seen magic
    And you know it won't kill you
    Even when the whole world doubts it
    This is my moment
    They can't take my talent
    They can't take my stripes
    They can't erase my hours
    I'm from the underground, anything above ground is a mountain
    I'm done tryna impress anybody but the heavens where I'm headed
    You don't get to hold onto your flowers
    I am in my zone, eyes on the throne
    20K deep, better pull out your phones
    Turnin' the arena to believers every time I hit the ceiling
    Ain't nobody ever touchin' my show
    Look at where we started, look at where we got to
    Almost OD'd that night in the hospital
    Wasn't gonna die, more life in the arsenal
    Got another shot to pull off the impossible
    There's no need to cry for me
    I'm a fighter, fighter
    You can't take my voice from me
    I will rise up, rise up
    So what are you waiting for?
    I ain't ready to die yet
    The pain is where faith is born
    Are you alive yet? Are you alive yet?
    Are you alive?
    On my grave, what quote will be etched in?
    Never played the game to be a contestant
    Never joined the league to ride benches
    The wins hit different when they don't expect it
    Yeah, and they they ain't gotta like me
    Got my own Nikes, no Nike ID
    And I ain't tryin' to stunt, man
    But my logo went over the Jumpman
    I remember all I had was a bus pass
    Sellin' CDs to make a couple of bucks back
    And now I'm up in meetings, and you better believe me
    Now that we got the arena, the sonics makin' a come back
    I'm not a businessman, I got children, man
    I treat my city like it is my fam
    'Til the residency gets a buildin' man
    Think I'm playin' 'bout mayor, but that is my plan
    You know what fifty thousand feels like
    When you question, "Is this real life?"
    The money doesn't buy happiness, that's facts
    'Til you take what you made and decide to give it back like that
    There's no need to cry for me
    I'm a fighter, fighter
    You can't take my voice from me
    I will rise up, rise up
    So what are you waiting for?
    I ain't ready to die yet
    The pain is where faith is born
    Are you alive yet? Are you alive yet?
    Are you alive?
    I was supposed to be a one hit ringer
    Now I got too many rings and not enough fingers
    Keep doing my thing, they keep chasin' the wave
    Thinking that they're gonna be the one to outpace age
    I must got Mick Jagger DNA
    Rolling Stone bags, pre-check, no TSA
    I'll be seventy-eight, SM58 in my face
    Like, "Who wants to go next?" Nobody's touching my stage
    Their heads trippin' like a B-Boy head spinnin'
    I bench press the industry and I deadlift it
    It's been written, I've been runnin', it's been a minute
    Been done it, I bet you a hundred that I've been winnin'
    The Benz tinted, it's been vintage, yeah, Ben did it
    The crib I live in is like Ben Stiller's
    An evening at my house, a night at the museum
    Trophies, plaques all over and the view's decent
    At the end of the day it's like, "Who needs it?"
    Play on, player, I gotta keep competin'
    Keep dreamin', won't settle for shit
    It isn't sport, it's my life, run the championship, I'm gone
    There's no need to cry for me
    I'm a fighter, fighter
    You can't take my voice from me
    I will rise up, rise up
    So what are you waiting for?
    I ain't ready to die yet
    The pain is where faith is born
    Are you alive yet? Are you alive yet?
    Are you alive?
    Are you alive?
    Are you alive?

      Not exactly. She gave feedback on the lyrics & was instrumental in making the video, but the song is HIS.
      As he posted on FB-
      “She’s the reason I re-wrote the first verse of CHANT. She told me it needed to be more personal. She wrote the treatment to the video and woke up the entire week at 4:30am to scout the lake for lighting. She kneeled in the cold ass water and held my feet while I rapped take after take. I trust her eye more than my own. And she spit on her hand and made sure my hair wasn’t sticking up in the back lol. My biggest advocate. My most brutally honest critic. Her fingerprints are deeply engrained in everything I put out. Just feeling grateful I get to collaborate with my partner. She deserves all the flowers 💕”

    I must admit, I am glad he made this song. It says exactly what it should say, if that makes sense. Many people have admitted that he was underrated and the first album was undeniable regardless of how many stations of certain appropriate radio formats refused to acknowledge it. People can make jokes, but at the end of the day, no one can deny that Macklemore has the skill, and is truthfully better than many other rappers that people today worship. Wow, I am actually commenting on a pop/hip hop artist's video. This is definitely not normal for me to do unless I really feel encouraged to do so.

    You already know that the music by "The Mack", is always fire. Respect to Ryan Lewis too, and respectfully. THE TONES AND I. Amen to the music that touches the soul, on a plethora of levels.

    'Never joined the league to ride benches, the wins hit different when they don't expect it' This shit hit different, people saying you fell off but maaaaaaaaaaaaan, you ain't go nowhere. Mack still holdin it down after almost 2 decades.
