ian levy – macklemore response lyrics

hook:

would k-dot cop a grammy if mack was black?
cause my first track was wack and i still got daps
would k-dot cop a grammy if mack was black?
cause my first track was wack and i still got daps

verse 1:
f that, no hi-brow rap
somehow standout rap is now not bad?
count hip hop as guns, drugs, paper in stacks
cause the medias makin raters perceive it as that
haters see it as facts that they attribute to blacks
keep the cycle intact by recycling tracks
now the savior of rap is straight white male
who doesn’t shop retail or patronize females
oh…and a recovered alcoholic
positioning the culture as some motherf-cking garbage
a villain, but we got captain america
we buildin, but they controlling the camera
so glamour and the glits show the b-tches
and their t-ts, and miss what the others try an spit…
kendrick had an album to generate a switch
but we’d rather segregate, with the heist, ya dig?

hook:

would k-dot cop a grammy if mack was black?
cause my first track was wack and i still got daps
would k-dot cop a grammy if mack was black?
cause my first track was wack and i still got daps

verse 2:

i started spittin in the cul de sac, lookin back
i sorta notice that i focused on a broken past
people always spoke as if the words i wrote were h-lla dope
acting like they didn’t know that rappers do much more than smoke
most folks see the culture as joke, but i’m white so they see a shining hope…
oh, so imma go ahead an take courses, make more hits
organize a war against the tourists
my goal is showin hip hop as complex
it’s nonsense that that’s not com sense
cause to be honest i’m a novice to the greats
judge a book by its cover or it’s jacket by its race
if that’s the case is the work misplaced
do i benefit my students or perpetuate their fate?
wait, can i ever be great? or if i do will i vilify the game?
wait, can i ever be great? or if i do will i vilify the game…
