Macklemore - Downtown Lyrics
I went to the moped store, said, "Fuck it."
Salesman's like "What up, what's your budget?"
And I'm like "Honestly, I don't know nothing about mopeds."
He said "I got the one for you, follow me."
Oh it's too real
Banana seat, a canopy on two wheels
Eight hundred cash, that's a hell of a deal
I'm headed downtown, cruising through the alley
Tip-toeing in the street like Dally
Pulled up, moped to the valley
Whitewalls on the wheels like mayonnaise
Dope, my crew is ill, and all we need is two good wheels
Got gas in the tank, cash in the bank
And a bad little mama with her ass in my face
Snuck her in backstage, you don't need a wristband
Dope
Killing the game 'bout to catch a body
Passed the Harley, Dukie own a Ducati
Timbaland, Khaled, Scott Storch, Birdman
God damn man, everybody got Bugattis
But I'mma keep it hella 1987
Head into the dealership and drop a stack and cop a Kawasaki
I'm stunting on everybody, hella raw, pass the wasabi
[Clean version:] I'm so low that my cajones almost dragging on the concrete
[Explicit version:] I'm so low that my scrotum's almost dragging on the concrete
My seat is leather, alright, I'm lying, it's pleather
But girl, we could still ride together
You don't need an Uber, you don't need a cab
Fuck a bus pass, you got a moped man
She got 1988 Mariah Carey hair
Very rare, mom jeans on her derriere
Throwing up the West Side as we tear in the air
Stop by Pike Place, throwing fish to a player
Downtown, downtown (downtown)
Downtown, downtown (downtown)
She has her arms around your waist
With a balance that could keep us safe
(downtown)
Have you ever felt the warm embrace
(downtown)
Of the leather seat between your legs
(hey-ey-ey-ey, hey-ey-ey-ey)
(hey-ey-ey-ey, hey-ey-ey-ey)
(downtown)
You don't want no beef, boy
Know I run the streets, boy
Better follow me towards
(downtown)
What you see is what you get girl
Don't ever forget girl
Ain't seen nothing yet until you're
Downtown
Dope
Cut the bullshit
Get off my mullet
Stone washed, so raw
Moped like a bullet
(peeyow!)
It can't catch me
A po-po can't reprimand me
I'm in a B-Boy stance, I'm not dancing
I got your girl on the back going tandem
Because I'm too damn quick, I'm too damn slick
Whole downtown yelling out, "Who that is?"
It's me, the M the A-C the K
Stunting like a French pimp from back in the day
I take her to Pend Oreille and I watch her skate
I mean, water ski, ollie ollie oxen free
I'm perusing down fourth and they watching me
I do a handstand, an eagle lands on my seat
Well hello, but baby, the kickstand ain't free
Now do you or do you not wanna ride with me
I got one girl, I got two wheels
She a big girl but ain't a big deal
I like a big girl, I like 'em sassy
Going down the backstreet listening to Blackstreet
Running around the whole town
Neighbors yelling at me like, "You need to slow down."
Going thirty-eight, Dan, chill the fuck out
Mow your damn lawn and sit the hell down
If I only had one helmet I would give it to you, give it to you
Cruising down Broadway, girl, what a wonderful view, wonderful view
There's layers to this shit player, Tiramisu, Tiramisu
Let my coat-tail drag but I ain't tearing my suit, tearing my suit
Downtown, downtown (downtown)
Downtown, downtown
She has her arms around your waist
With a balance that could keep us safe
(downtown)
Have you ever felt the warm embrace
(downtown)
Of the leather seat between your legs
(hey-ey-ey-ey, hey-ey-ey-ey)
(hey-ey-ey-ey, hey-ey-ey-ey)
(downtown)
You don't want no beef, boy
Know I run the streets, boy
Better follow me towards
(downtown)
What you see is what you get girl
Don't ever forget girl
Ain't seen nothing yet until you're
Downtown
You don't want no beef, boy
Know I run the streets, boy
Better follow me towards
(downtown)
What you see is what you get girl
Don't ever forget girl
Ain't seen nothing yet until you're
(downtown)

Chorus is majestic
I went to the moped store, said "Fuck it"
And salesman's like "What up, what's your budget?"
And I'm like "Honestly, I don't know nothing about mopeds"
He said "I got the one for you, follow me"
Ooh, it's too real
Chromed out mirror, I don't need a windshield
Banana seat, a canopy on two wheels
Eight hundred cash, that's a hell of a deal
I'm headed...
[Verse 2: Grandmaster Caz, Kool Moe Dee & Melle Mel]
Downtown, cruising through the alley
Tip-toeing in the street like ballet
Pulled up, moped to the valet
White walls on the wheels like mayonnaise
Dope, my crew is ill, and all we need is two good wheels
Got gas in the tank, cash in the bank
And a bad little mama with her ass in my face
I'ma lick that, stick that, break her off, Kit-Kat
Snuck her in backstage, you don't need a wristband
Dope
[Verse 3: Macklemore]
Killing the game, 'bout to catch a body
Passed the Harley, Dukie on the Ducati
Timbaland, Khaled, Scott Storch, Birdman
Goddamn, man, everybody got Bugattis
But I'ma keep it hella 1987
Head into the dealership and drop a stack and cop a Kawasaki
I'm stunting on everybody, hella raw, pass the Wasabi
I'm so low that my scrotum's almost dragging up on the concrete
My seat is leather, alright, I'm lying, it's pleather
But girl, we could still ride together, oh
You don't need an Uber, you don't need a cab
Fuck a bus pass, you got a moped, man
She got 1988 Mariah Carey hair
Very rare, mom jeans on her derriere
Throwing up the West Side as we tear in the air
Stop by Pike Place, throwing fish to a player
[Pre-Chorus: Eric Nally]
Downtown, downtown (Downtown)
Downtown, downtown (Downtown)
She has her arms around your waist
With a balance that will keep her safe (Downtown)
Have you ever felt the warm embrace (Downtown)
Of a leather seat between your legs
Hey, hey-oh-ey-ey
Hey, hey-oh-ey-ey
Hey, hey-oh-ey-ey
Hey, hey-oh-ey-ey
[Chorus: Eric Nally]

Dope
Cut the bullshit, get off my mullet
Stone washed, so raw, moped like a bullet, oh, yee-ow
You can't catch me, a po-po can't reprimand me
I'm in a B-Boy stance, I'm not dancing
I got your girl on the back going tandem
Cause I'm too damn quick, I'm too damn slick
Whole downtown yelling out "Who that is?"
[Verse 5: Macklemore]
It's me, the M, the A-C, the K
Sounding like a French pimp from back in the day
I take her to Pend Oreille and I water skate
I mean, water ski, ollie, ollie, oxen free
I'm perusing down Fourth and they watching me
I do a headstand, the eagle lands on my seat
Well hello, but baby, the kickstand ain't free
Now do you or do you not wanna ride with me?
I got one girl, I got two wheels
She a big girl, but ain't a big deal
I like a big girl, I like 'em sassy

Running around the whole town
Neighbors yelling at me like, "You need to slow down"

2020 anyone
I remember actually, when I used to take road trips with my family, and since we were from Vancouver, we would often go to Seattle, and I would always listen to this song.
Which Vancouver? WA or B.C.? And the video was filmed in Spokane.
Why am I just realizing from all of these years that this is about mopeds
LOVE IT!!!
Still can't get over Ken griffey junior
The music video is filmed in hometown!!💪🏻😄 I recognize so many familiar landmarks in the video!
2020!!! Puerto Rico
Any1 still watching this on 2020 drop a like😁
I'm 4 years late in finding this song and I don't even care, this is amazing, and I love everything about it
Anyone get micheal jackson vibes from eric nally part ?
when you buy a faggio in gta
wow its been 5 years and its still a bop
Wishin i would be that little yorkie😍😍😍
Anyone else from Spokane where they filmed this?
This song was shot downtown from my house 🤣
Macklemore is such a cool dude.
eric nally's voice is amazing
Have you ever fallen asleep watching YouTube and wake up to something random
This guest singer sounds so much like Michael Jackson at times. It's nuts!
He was the lead singer of a band called Foxy Shazam. Really good music!
Eric Nalley
Is it just me or does the guy in this song sound like Michael jackson🙈🙈
son: dad calm down
Me in 2035: “dOwNtOwN!!! dOwNtOwN!!!!! DOOOOOOOOOOOWNTOWN!!!!!!”
Still the only Rock'nroll/Rap crossover that actually worked until this very day! 🤘🤞🖕
They portrayed downtown well for what it really is. This was filmed in downtown Spokane wa and it's not a bad city just getting there progressively in the years it's gotten worse.
2020 and still listening 🥰
Came here from Gag Shop with Megasnoop
I just bought a moped, and my first thought was this song😅
Ok ok, I'll chill the fuck out
Does anyone realize that's Ken fucking Griffet Jr.
anyone knows what that dance move is called, been fucking up my knees when doing it myself but this man can just do it and continue 3:53
safety dance
Lyrics for Australians:
Blacktown!
Where every-bodies off their face!
For breakfast we drink half a case.
Have you ever felt the warm embrace?
Of the meth-pipe in between your lips?
Blacktown!
I wouldn't eat the beef boy,
Stay off the main street boy,
You might get HIV in...
Blacktown!
What you see is what you get girl,
Wanna buy some meth girl?
What the fuck is that smell...It's
Blacktown!
the girl at 4:22 is the one from the ed sheran song shape of you <3
those motorcicles at 2:11 are royal enfield right?
Who knows the baseball players in this vid. Comment
🙋🏾
on sceen 4:44 on left had side of side of video where the intersection is there is a camera man on a lift. i just noticed that.
Jono and Ben's parody of this was awesome
I miss 2015
4:50 I felt that 👖🤞😂

I bet the mods are foaming at the mouth watching this.
Eric Nally is the perfect combination of Justin Long and Old Gregg
This song is PERFECT!!! I LOVE THAT
I want you to think about how they made 5:00 min song about going downtown on a moped
After 2000 years. Thx tiktok
I had to write an eassy on Mopeds. Guess what I wrote.
Didnt know this song exist
At the beginning the guy at the back, i laughed my head off
