Macklemore - A wake

^GI need love ^GYou need love ^GGive me love G (or C) And I'll give you my love

^GThey say thirty is the new twenty ^CAnd twenty is the new thirty shit I guess, makes sense ^Emcause fifteen year olds seem twenty And twenty five year ^Colds seem ten

^GI used to drink away my paycheck ^CCelebrate the mistakes I hadn't made yet ^EmOur generation isn't the best on safe sex We forget the latex, bec^Coming Planned Parenthood patients

^GSynthetic heroin is the new basshead ^CSo much to escape, fuck a straight edge ^EmWalk around looking through a fake lens Apps this good, ^Cwhose got time to make friends?

^GI wish I didn't care ^CAcynical hispters with long hair. Cocaine ^Emproblems, like my music It's not my issue, I can't^C solve it, yeah

^GSay my flight has finally l^Canded down and the ^Emground has stopped moving all ar^Cound ^GEyes open, awake^C for the very first ^Emtime We both forfeit thi^Cs game of crime

They say^G it's so refreshing to hear somebody on records ^CNo guns, no drugs, no sex, just truth ^EmThe guns that's America, the drugs are what they gave to us And sex sells itself, do^Cn't judge her 'til it's you

^GAh, I'm not more or less cautious ^CThe rappers rappin' 'bout them strippers up on the pole, copping ^EmThese interviews are obnoxious Saying that it's poetry is so wel^Cl spoken, stop it

^G I grew up during Reaganomics ^CWhen Ice T was out there on his killing cops shit ^EmOr Rodney King was getting beat on and they let off every single officer ^CAnd Los Angeles went and lost it

^GNow every month there is a new Rodney on Youtube ^CIt's just something our generation is used to ^EmAnd neighbourhoods where you never see a news crew Unless they're gentrifyi^Cng, white people don't even cruise through

^GAnd my subconcious telling me stop it ^CThis is an issue that you shouldn't get involved in ^EmDon't even tweet, R.I.P Trayvon Martin Don't wanna be that white^C dude, million man marchin'

^GFighting for our freedom that my people stole ^CDon't wanna make all my white fans uncomfortable ^EmBut you don't even have a fuckin' song for radio Why you out here talkin race, tr^Cyin' to save the fuckin' globe

^GDon't get involved with the causes in mind ^CWhite privilege, white guilt, at the same damn time ^EmSo we just party like it's nineteen ninty nine Celebrate the ignorance ^Cwhile these kids keep dying

^GMy flight has finally lande^Cd down and the ^Emground has stopped moving all ar^Cound ^GEyes open, awake^C for the very first ^Emtime We both forfeit thi^Cs game of crime

^GI need love ^CYou need love ^EmGive me love And I'll give yo^Cu my love
