Macklemore - Buckshot Lyrics
[Verse 1: Macklemore]
I used to work at Subway
Seven bucks an hour wasn’t much money
But I be rapping and kicking it on my lunch break
Like “I'mma make it out this motherfucker one day”
Got the boombox and a blunt, bootlegger deuce-deuce
H on my crew, we get drunk, a little coo-coo
Type of dudes who square up and knock a tooth loose
Quick to the basement, the, the, the basement
That is the window I’m planning to vacate with
Pops put on bars just in case somebody breaks in
That’s not gonna stop me from getting to the pavement
Shh, meeting Jerome at the bus stop
I got the bigger roll, paranoid buck cops
And all my city’s known for grunge, flannel, puck rock
[Hook: (Macklemore)]
Window to window and wall to wall
Can of Krylon, we out to bomb
(Buckshot)
Four in the morning I'm with the squad
There we go, there we go, there we go, there we go
Window to window and wall to wall
Can of Krylon, we out to bomb
Four in the morning I'm with the squad
There we go, there we go, there we go, there we go
[Verse 2: Macklemore]
Just copped that new Boot Camp tape
The neighbors keep complaining ‘bout too much bass
Bang, bang, let me do my thing
Give me two cans and you gon’ know my name
You don’t want to get involved
You know I be on these overpasses burning bridges, dog
You know I be dippin' through these alleys tryna diss the law
Sixteen with Adidas on
I’m too speedy for police I’m chiefin' through these streets, I’m gone
I got game, don’t need to talk anymore
Boppity-bo, tippity-toppity, I pop me some more
I was underground where he came from and he pop out a hole
Cracked the top back on the flat black aerosol
I woke up in the morning and I had a vision
These suit and ties got the nerve to call it vandalism
They hella mad, say my art is really bad for business
But I'mma paint a better world until the cans are empty
Now let it drip, let it drip
If they catch me doing dirt I’ll plead the fifth
I pop a top, I brought my Glock
Speakers bumpin’, I was on that Buckshot
[Hook: (Macklemore)]
Window to window and wall to wall
Can of Krylon, we out to bomb
(Buckshot)
Four in the morning I'm with the squad
There we go, there we go, there we go, there we go
[Refrain: Samples (KRS-One)]
Chill-chill-chilin' with the crew
Just writing my name in graffiti on the wall
Who-who-who is he?
(Yeah, knowledge reigns supreme)
Got the world following the...
[Verse 3: KRS-ONE]
Turn up the CD or turn up the TV
Turn up your T-A-P-E, turn your phone up, crank up the PC
See, my boys are really PC if you’re talking graffiti
See, we call it aerosol art when we splatter the city
I got twenty five cans in my napsack
Crossing out the whick-whack
TIOS’s ain’t even get that
Fat tips and black books, yo, we rep that
149th street bench is where we slept at
Clep-clap, clep-clap, clep-clap, clep-clap
Those are not my words, the spray can said that
Where them reds at, or them green turquoise?
Where my real graf writers? Make some noise
[Outro: Samples (KRS-One)]
Chill-chill-chilin' with the crew
Just writing my name in graffiti on the wall
Who-who-who is he?
(Macklemore)
Got the world following the...
(Buckshot, shot, shot, shot)

[Verse 1: Macklemore]
I used to work at Subway
Seven bucks an hour wasn’t much money
But I be rapping and kicking it on my lunch break
Like “I'mma make it out this motherfucker one day”
I was in the back, back seat of the bus before a bluetooth
Got the boombox and a blunt, bootlegger deuce-deuce
H on my crew, we get drunk, a little cuckoo
Type of dudes who square up and knock a tooth loose
Quick to the basement, the, the, the basement
That is the window I’m planning to vacate with
Pops put on bars just in case somebody breaks in
That’s not gonna stop me from getting to the pavement
Shh, meeting Jerome at the bus stop
I got the bigger roll, paranoid buck cops
And all my city’s known for grunge, flannel, puck rock
And a bunch of Sub Pop, I was on that Buckshot

KRS ONE AND MACKLEMORE!?!?!? Do you people even realize what's up!? Looked this up to see a wack mash up to realize this was REAL! Two completely different worlds AND generations collaborated. Much love to two sick MC's that I thought would never meet because of a huge generation gap.
👍👍👍👍👍
you know KRS really bout this graff shit doe
Please let me know where i can find more music like this 💯comment plz 👍
Damn, Macklemore got some skills, he's working with KRS and Dj premier
THR BASSLINE
Those are not my words, the spray can said that!
KRS murked this !!
Wait a minute Macklemore! Hold up! this is good.
BUCKSHOT !4!4!
Dope song
Window to window and wall to wall till the sweat drop down my ball-e balls.
anyone else see the writtens
I'm just here for KRS-One. And that damn mosquito I keep hearing but can't find.
BR0N0CULARS DAMN look up Nosbo 2007, one of his newest hip hop sample vids has it
Thanks dude.
Goddamn what a bad tune
its funny how people say mack is trash he helped people get out of drug addiction he made gays become normal what have you people done what did you listen to down town and say yup he sucks.
... and people like Eminem, X/ ugghh
Respect to Macklemore & Ryan Lewis to have 2 of hip hop's pioneers like (Krs & premo)
Is this a tribute to Buckshot cuz he defended white rappers against lord Jamar's comments?
why the fuck was my comment deleted??
#ripGURU
songs starts at 2:30
Never disappointed. LOOOOOVE Ben Haggerty and i LOOOOOVE the old school sound. Hell, i love EVERYthing he does
dj premier what the fuck
rip guru
It spoke to me because I really did used to work at subway
I lie this song
That bassline is good but that high pitch sound is really annoying
The thrill of the Krylon...*spraygasm*. Thank god for Macklemore & Ryan
the mack
#RelRAPLives #RealHIPHOPLives .....
#RapRealVive #HipHopRealVive ....
this track is the shyt ! 😍 Mack kRs One & DJ premiere a lethal collaboration I love it
The horn sounds like a mosquito in my ear lol but the song is good
hahah yes it does!!!
So much respect to Macklemore for having Premier on the beat
"...give me 2 cans and you gon' know my name..."
Love you guys! Talented!
Been missin his old school shit, glad to see it come back
I love this song
ne diyosun lan sen
Blown away
Easily the best premier beat in a while. Or I guess Ryan lewis is fused?
Mackelmore kickin it old school.... This is a gem
Well then kudos to both of them
whaaat (Feat. KRS-One, DJ Premier)
absolute insanity!!!!!!!! we need more new music like this honestly
This songs dope. only toys use krylon though haha. KRS shoulda mentioned the rustos
the only reason i listen to this is the grandmaster, he's killing it
Nicely done... Interesting that such an iconic hip hop master such as KRS-One put his name to this. Wondering, as the underground is always watching... What's Macklemore's graffiti background ?
"I used to work at Subway,seven bucks an hour wasn't much MoNAY" lol I love this song so much but that part always gets me
keep it up this is music
I like the part where it's not macklemore
Macklemore you are awesome
This was Brilliant at 3Arena Dublin last night, bass was sick.. Some bounce
I was hoping the whole album would be more like this.
The flow is crazy sick.
came here for krs
it was great to see him live in Amsterdam
KRS!!!!
yea old school!!
big tune about Graff! radio version didn't feature the one krs though !
So they did this album in a cabin in the woods? Probably some brokeback mountain type shit. How much you want to bet Preemo and Kris mailed the beat and rhyme to them and weren't even in the studio together.
Sounds like there's a fucking mosquito in my ear lmao but otherwise great
That background sound is sooooo anoying
Damn this is good
i love it.
Constant Mosquito sound in the background... Once u start listening to it, you cant stop...
Too bad Ryan Lewis didn't decide to make these awesome beats for a better rapper.
this beat was made by dj premier
Only came for Krs One (pause)
Say what you will about Macklemore, but for me, as an avid hip-hop fan, its hard to shit on this one. Macklemore KRS and Premiere brought the HEAT
+Paul Kamin Yep. He's a great emcee it's just when he blew up for most people with Thrift Shop they just saw him as a white pop rapper. Since then he's had to prove himself a lot but once you listen to most of his music you'll see he's a real emcee
what is buckshot
now have a a remix with buckshot !
This beat shouldve went to Joey badass
This beat would have been perfect for Billy woods.
i'd have to hear him on it first but this is dope too
"I wish my dad fucked a black woman" - Macklemore 2016
Where did you read this?
I posted that comment back in march. But I am pretty sure I got it from "The Needle Drop's" review of this track.
FT KRS-ONE SOLD looking like a buckshot window to window door to door shiat i play this im gona score
BRING 90'S BACK! Yess to this song!!!!!
Enough with 2010's punk rap! Hate all!!
can we get a remix with more 90s rappers? this is dope
I can see Tyler, The Creator doing a verse in this
I would love to see an official vid of this song.
Easily among top 3 rap tracks about graf. Maybe top two. Shout out to Artifacts.
KRS murdered this track... Boom!
lol he sounds so fucking soft... its not that hip hop to get completely murdered by a few bars of KRS on a track sorry macky xD not digging the song.
When my friend told me that Dj Premier and Krs-One was in this track I got a really big smile on my face. Primo and Krs still got it!
This is just great all around ..KRS going hard hard hard like a flashback and the beat is perfect
Am i the only one that can't stand that constant sound on the instrumental. Would be nice if it wasn't so overpowering.
+Aaron Dizon That was me too for the first few times I heard this song. Honestly I just got used to it lol
bass line reminds me of god loves ugly
Beat need Buckshot ..from Black Moon
Why doesn't he rhyme like this all time time? This record is dope. Big up to Premo and the teacher. He should do More beats and features like this he supposedly grew up listening to real hip hop
Old school, remind me of The Language of my World😄
he sounds like Slug from atmosphere on the chorus.
All star line up with hall of fame features. Yeeeeeeee
Preemo can make anyone sound dope.
