Macklemore & Ryan Lewis

2012Hip-hop
Verse 1
Em
C

I was seven years old, when I got my first pair

And I stepped outside
G

And I was like, momma,

this air bubble right here,
B

it's gonna make me fly
Em

I hit back- court, and when I jumped,
C

I jumped, I swear I got so high
G

I touched the net, Mom I touched the net,
B

this is the best day of my life
Em

Air Max's were next, that air bubble, that mesh
C

The box, the smell, the stuffin', the tread,
Am

in school I was so cool,

I knew that I couldn't crease 'em
G

My friends couldn't afford 'em,
B

Four stripes, on their Adidas
Em

On the court I wasn't the best,

but my kicks were like the pros
C

Yo, stick out my tongue

so everyone could see that logo
Am

Nike Air Flight belt bag was so dope
B

And then my friend Carlos' brother
B

got murdered for his Fours, whoa
Pre-chorus 1
Em

See he just wanted a jump shot,

but they wanted his Starter coat though
C

Didn't wanna get caught,

from Genesee Park to Othello
Em

You'd get clowned for those Pro Wings

with the Velcro, those were not tight
B

I was trying to fly without leaving the ground,
Em

'cause I wanted to be like Mike, right
C

Wanted to be him, I wanted to be that guy,
G

I wanted to touch the rim
B

I wanted to be cool, and I wanted to fit in
Chorus 1

Wanted what he had, America, it
Em

(begins) I wanna fly
C
Am

Can you take me far away

Gimme a star to reach for
G
B

Tell me what it takes
Em

And I'll go so high

I'll go so high
C

My feet won't touch the ground
Am

They stitch my wings

And pull the strings
G

I bought these dreams
B

That all fall
Verse 2
Em

(down) We want what we can't have,
C

commodity makes us want it

So expensive, damn, I just got to flaunt it
G

Got to show 'em, so exclusive,

this that new shit
B

A hundred dollars for a pair of shoes
Em

I would never hoop in
C

Look at me, look at me, I'm a cool kid

I'm an individual, yea,
Am

but I'm part of a movement

My movement told me be a consumer

and I consumed it

They told me to just do it,
Pre-chorus 2

I listened to what that swoosh said
Em

Look at what that swoosh did,
C

see it consumed my thoughts

Are you stupid, don't crease 'em,

just leave 'em in that box
Em

Strangled by these laces,

laces I can barely talk
B

That's my air bubble and I'm lost, if it pops
Em

We are what we wear, we wear what we are
C

But see I look inside the mirror

and think Phil Knight tricked us all
G

Will I stand for change, or stay in my box
B

These Nikes help me define me,
Interlude 1

but I'm trying to take mine
Em
C
G

Can you take me far away

Gimme a star to reach for
G
B

Tell me what it takes
Em

And I'll go so high

I'll go so high
C

My feet won't touch the ground
G

They stitch my wings

And pull the strings
B

I bought these dreams
Interlude 2

That all fall
Em
C
Am
G
B

(down)
Verse 3
Em

It started out, with what I wear to school
C

That first day,

like these are what make you cool
G

And this pair, this would be my parachute
B

So much more than just a pair of shoes
Em

Nah, this is what I am, what I wore,

this is the source of my youth
C

This dream that they sold to you
Am

For a hundred dollars and some change,

consumption is in the veins
G
B
And now I see it's just another pair of shoes

  • Best Tuning App Ever

    MaddProfessor

    I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

  • Well-Designed App

    Rose the Black Cat

    I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

  • Got me back into playing

    Tuliketsune

    I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

  • Secret weapon

    Brad

    Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

  • Very reliable tuner

    theNewPaul

    This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

  • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

    Caleb Schafli

    It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

  • Great to tune and play

    Lynae T

    I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
