Macklemore - As Soon As I Wake Up Lyrics
As soon as I wake up
I'm going to change my ways
Because the music's my savior
And no one can take my pain
Except for this paper
As soon as I wake up
I'm going to change my ways.
Instead of staying the same
Because I see better days ahead of me
I paint them on the page
Then I save them for the rainy ones
When anger and the anguish want to hang around
I say em outloud and complain to them.
I figure I'm made to live and haven't gone that far
Then I take a pen and make amends again,
The only way I know to repent.
I know somebody listenin.
Dear God I'm so thankful for you keeping my plate full,
The struggles, heartache, pain, the progress and the breakthrough.
Every single track has made who I am to this day
Prove this page is the only way to paint you
But lately it's like my soul feels counterfeits
Scared to pick up the pen to see what the hell might come out of it.
So God grant me the serenity without giving me the christianing
Because all I ever needed was a beat and people listening.
Step cousins.
As soon as I wake up
I'm going to change my ways
Because the music's my savior
And no one can take my pain
Except for this paper
The page flows like rain
As soon as I wake up
I'm going to change my ways.
Instead of rotting away and plotting my grave, hiding in a bottomless shame.
I found a way to fight my way out and see the light of day
And proud to say I took the safe route but there's a price to pay.
They like to keep my name in they mouth and tell lies on me.
What you see is what you get, truth in the flesh homie.
You can do the rest I'm through with trying to prove myself to you.
I'll see you when you wake up, hope the feeling is mutual.
Now for artists and musicians you see the target's to list,
To the heart inscripts with no margins, no limits
To make to pain, strengths and rays a part of the picture
And can bathe in every shade and take it further and vivid.
They're going to say what they say,
The - and whatever the dj plays they mark and they gimik.
But I've got a path to follow and along with the distance I realize I'm already awake,
I'm just starting to live it. My language.
As soon as I wake up
I'm going to change my ways
Because the music's my savior
And no one can take my pain
Except for this paper
The page flows like rain
As soon as I wake up
I'm going to change my ways.

This song for
me
Is me at 13
visiting a place where
she
could show me what
I couldn't
It's the light on the wall
and your turn
meets the sun through wet glass
you know, worn wood with a
crack like the sun must, touch,
her
Of course let's meet it
I'll let you lead of course,
she
was a moment of my faith met, frozen,
something I can carry with me from now on
This song for
me
Is me at 13
waking up to 724 thousand choices
of what I could
be

Used to bump this on the way to highschool back in 2010- 12. 16 then, 23 now
Have you changed your ways?
it's 2017 have "YOU" changed your ways🙌🏽
Matt Boi fuck no
I found him from a diehard fan advertising on a Lupe song for 'The Town' when it had way less than a million views. Macklemore really taught me to appreciate music as a medium to connect with people. At the time i was fixated with lyricism and thought it to be the mark of true skill and talent for rap.Macklemore really made rap shine as an artform
love this song totally relate to it. been clean for 6 months now
Haha I should get macklemore to be my Rapping master and I could be his little green disaster call me disease I'm white like plaster yoda with a mean look lamb whit a hard hook AFTER
I strayed away from the pasture
Little bopeep ain't the shepard your after so I'm snorting in disgust at my unruly passions. Lets go to the ends of the earth before class ends don't think I'm the master? I'll Make Macklemore my contracted Pastor he'll absolve my progress and advise whats faster spitting beats to save disaster
procrastination then beer and weed after, he'd slap my ass into shape like a bastard I'm hoping so much for beauty and more after
still his best song to this day lol I fucks wit it
was just about to go to bed stumbled across this and had to let it play out before I went sleep this is real shit
lloyd whymark same . love it it relates to what I'm going through. been clean for 6 months now .
I listen to this song every morning not kidding
KGILLS Do you make music?
Yes i do if you get the chance check me out
Much Love
purely beautiful... he could rhyme more or put more intricate rhymes and flow but its not about that its about making something thats makes others life better... a true artist
Macklemore himself shared this Video on twitter :)
This kinda makes me sad, as I remember when i was bumping these songs when macklemore only had a smaller hardcore fanbase
iv'e never listened to this. beautiful.
You sounded just as dope back then too
i would say doper but i dont wanna piss anyone off
@Lox Chatterbox no, he was far better back in the day haha. Growing up in Seattle listening to his shit when he was in Highschool he was dope. Shits gotten too mainstream for me.
Thats legit, woulda been cool to see his work pay off tho over the years. Much respect either way, glad i found this track
Macklemores Twitter send me! :)
I wish I didnt just find this.Such a beautiful song!
My life anthem haha
Best song about the 12 steps ever
nice rhymes, poor delivery
Aye, I'm Not Gonna Say I Knew Macklemore Before The Heist But Because Of It I've Listen To His Old Stuff And I'm Blowed Away.... He's A Dope Emcee! So Thanks To Him Finally Going Mainstream That We Can Appreciate His Whole Bodies Of Work.
Speechless
I still love how people claim Macklemore is their favorite artist yet they fail to look at any of his work beyond the heist. This is one of my favorite songs by him
This song was with me for a good minute
love him
