[00:00.00]Jimmy Iovine (feat. Ab-Soul) (Explicit) - Macklemore & Ryan Lewis/Macklemore/Ryan Lewis/Ab-Soul
[00:14.39]I put my life on the line
[00:17.14]I'm on and bassin' I'm fine
[00:19.88]Cuz all I ever dreamt about was making it
[00:23.60]They ain't giving it I'm taking it
[00:25.41]I'm taking it taking it I ain't giving it
[00:28.47]I'm taking it taking it I ain't giving it
[00:31.47]I'm taking it taking it I ain't giving it
[00:34.22]I'm taking it taking it I need all that sh*t
[00:44.32]Nobody winnin' this slogurr
[00:45.13]The police would've noticed
[00:46.83]Gotta be strategic I'm creepin'
[00:48.14]Go and leave with that motive
[00:49.77]Hold up my plan is stormin'
[00:51.26]All right casin' this building
[00:52.82]Watch these rappers that rap
[00:54.32]And walk in and leave that with millions
[00:55.95]Cut of that sweater open that front door
[00:57.70]And it's gold printed out by the entrance door closes
[00:59.83]Then a metaphor then I start chorus
[01:01.38]That part that's right meaning shotgun
[01:02.77]Dressed in an uniform looking like a janitor
[01:04.20]All blue jumpsuit why shoot
[01:05.76]Bloodthirsty and I'm bloody like a bull
[01:06.89]Looking in the eyes of the matador (f**k you )
[01:08.52]Carrying 2 cans of paint
[01:09.88]Security looks at me awkward
[01:11.52]I say third floor I'm late
[01:13.03]Painting Jimmy Iovine's office
[01:13.78]Holdin' my breath 'bout to fade
[01:16.03]I'm scared to death that he stops me
[01:17.96]Heart beating so loud you can hear the echo in that lobby
[01:20.90]And see I'm breakin' down if I don't make it out
[01:22.78]Then I'm leaving town with that contract
[01:24.28]And I'm spazzing out I'm either in or out
[01:25.78]This chair and I'm taking them hostage
[01:26.84]I don't give a f**k step into the elevator press three
[01:29.03]Now I'm headed up (east)
[01:30.15]Where they don't know there's a gun I the paint can
[01:32.09]And I'm ready and willing to bust 'em f**k'n desperate
[01:34.18]Stuck in this recession not what you think
[01:36.50]But if I sell out my luck is destined
[01:38.12]Might future depends on ink
[01:39.75]And secretary at the front of the entrance staring right at me
[01:42.69]I walk up she whispers go ahead and then gives me a wink
[01:46.31]I put my life on the line
[01:49.31]I'm on and bassin' I'm fine
[01:53.19]Cuz all I ever dreamt about was making it
[01:55.37]They ain't giving it I'm taking it
[01:59.25]I'm taking it taking it I ain't giving it
[02:01.94]I'm taking it taking it I ain't giving it
[02:04.75]I'm taking it taking it I ain't giving it
[02:08.06]I'm taking it taking it I need all that sh*t
[02:11.12]I go past security the secretary the cubicals
[02:14.44]But it's weird it's like this room I've walked into is unusual
[02:17.06]Thought it'd be shiny and beautiful
[02:18.68]Thought it'd be alive and like musical
[02:19.81]But it feels like someone died it's got the vibe of a funeral
[02:22.87]There's numbers on the chalkboard
[02:25.25]CD's box they cardboard
[02:26.18]Artists they foxed that got dropped and never got to be sophomores
[02:30.22]Cover designers are sitting around
[02:30.84]Waiting for albums that never come out
[02:33.04]Complainin' that they have nobody in house
[02:34.41]Wonderin' what they make art for
[02:36.17]I start thinking am I in the right place Just walk forwards
[02:39.36]See clocks on the wall
[02:40.16]Oh yea and the second dose will be all yours
[02:42.67]Finally see an office with a melted sign heaven sent
[02:45.48]Big block silver letters read it out loud: President
[02:48.68]This was my chance to grab that contract and turn and jack
[02:51.68]Right then felt a cold hand grab on the back of my neck
[02:54.87]He said: we've been watching you so glad you could make it
[02:57.81]Your music it's so impressive and this whole brand you created
[03:00.93]You one hell of a band we here think you're destined for greatness
[03:03.87]And with that right song we all know that you're next to be famous
[03:07.06]Now I'm sorry I've had a long day
[03:08.81]Remind me now what your name is
[03:10.24]That's right Macklemore
[03:11.68]Of course today has been crazy
[03:13.18]Anyway you ready
[03:14.87]We'll give you a hundred thousand dollars
[03:16.81]After your album comes out we'll need back that money that you borrowed
[03:19.18]So it's really like a loan a loan Come on
[03:22.49]No we're a team 360 degrees we will reach your goals
[03:25.97]You'll get it done in the merch that you sell out on the road
[03:28.72]Along with the third of the money you make when you're out doing your show
[03:32.09]Manager gets 20 booking agent gets 10
[03:34.59]So sh*t after taxes you and Ryan have 7%
[03:38.03]To split
[03:39.22]That's not bad I've seen a lot worse
[03:41.03]No one will give you a better offer than us
[03:43.65]I replied I appreciate the offer though that this is what I wanted
[03:47.53]Rather be a starving artist than succeed at getting f**ked
