macklemore - hot97 freestyle lyrics

[verse]
i was just a backpack rapper, backpack of krylon
fat caps, slab of concrete that i would write on
eighth grade when “triumph” came out, and i’m like, “hey mom
can i skip school? i can’t even wait!” “nah!”
thirteen years later, praise god
i just got dm by raekwon
and he wants me up on the same song
and method man’s p-ssed off for doing the crowd walk
but it wasn’t nothing, man, we squashed it, nah
i’m from the city nirvana where that mosh pit started
[?] from where kool herc started
that doesn’t mean that i won’t k!ll the beat and be a martyr
aspestos with pencils my pens choke as coffins
west coast, success toast, seattle down to compton
what does it say about america that i became a millionaire
between kicks and snares and couldn’t get in to college
aight, switch topics
i don’t walk i get piggybacks on action bronson
show up at em’s crib with the split of vodka
hit up mac miller, relapse and celebrate kwanzaa
on behalf of us white rappers
i think it’s a fact that yes we have appropriated culture
it’s just race, let’s talk not make it awkward
i wrote a song about thrift shop’s
i never thought it would ever get a spin, radio did its thing
and all of sudden the song popped up and got popular
would that have happen if i wouldn’t be a cracker?
sold 6 millie, does skin tone really matter?
we live in america, land of gimmicks and ladders
and did i go climb it, b-st-rd, of course race was a factor
but b-tch i’m a b-boy and i put that beat in the casket
listen to the heist, man, we almost made a cl-ssic
you gon’ agree, that’s vantastic
take away thrift shop and can’t hold us going platinum
9 times, alright fine
but i made it uncool for kids to say “f-ggot”
i got rich and i didn’t go buy a mansion
gave away 200k to the homies that didn’t have it
and when i fall off and the second album flops
and turn into vanilla ice, wait, that’s never gonna happen
