Inhale Deep Lyrics

We all know life can get hectic
But if you live in the second
You exist in the present
And that's how you stay connected
Go through good times and hardships
And if you learn to accept it
And know that every struggle in life
Is there to teach you a lesson
It's times like this that make you
It's always the darkest part of the night, right before the sun has it's break through
The spirits there to knock you down
But if you make that the end
You will never know the beauty
Of being able to stand up again
And face it, with patience
The Pace set is dealing
With judgements and hatred
Depressed hopeless feelings
But I've been told
You only create your own ceilings
Life is limitless
And knowing this is what the spirit is

That's why I try to inhale deep, so I can find peace, and essence can find me
That's why I lose myself in these beats
Let myself become one with the drum and set myself free

Whatever direction life leads me
There is a purpose behind it
That's the way it was supposed to be
And any time you can turn over a new leaf
Y'all know the truth
It's up to us to use the key
Been three years since my first album dropped
It's been fear that's really got me stuck on the spot
Not wanting to put out anything whack
So inside of putting licks on my tracks
I put my lips to a sack
Because it's easier to spend your life drunk
And high on drugs
Than to put everything on recording
And put it out to be judged
We look for the audience
To put their hands up and show love
But when they put their hands down
Our confidence really takes the plunge
So instead of making music
That people might not like
I went into isolation
I traded my mic in for the pipe
Started living the college life
Drinking and smoking every day
Rationalizing to myself
That I was going through a phase
Then I stopped
Thinking my music would take it's place
But when you live in fog
Inspiration is hard to create
It takes more to get connected
Than to quit smoking every day
And when I get frustrated I get a Swisher
And get blown away
Then all of a sudden it hit me
These kids are listening
If I'm not making music
Then why the fuck am I existing
How can I talk about the problems
Of some one else
When I don't have the motivation
And confidence to change myself
It's been so long since I really truly felt
What it's like to live without substances to help
Massive struggle that's natural to one's health
With addiction in my blood
I play the cards I was dealt
The wind is the most calm
Right before the storm
And when you least expect it
It doesn't rain, it pours
I swear to God you can never be warned
Because with or without that umbrella
Nature is still gonna take it's course

That's why I try to inhale deep
So I can find peace, and essence just finds me
That's why I lose myself in these beats
Put away the weed, And turn to my MPC

C'mon'
If I could just, I would change
If I could just, I would change
If I could just, I would change
If I could just, I would change

Ben Haggerty, also know as Macklemore is an emcee from Seattle, Washington that often shows up the larger acts he opens for in the city. At his own shows he keeps the audience going, no matter how small the crowd.

On his debut album, The Language of My World, Macklemore drafts a lyrical landscape of classic proportions. This record is teeming with energy and ambition, serving as a fitting debut for one of this country's most promising young artists. Macklemore's gift, like that of all great songwriters, is his ability to speak on universal experiences in a uniquely personal way. Throughout The Language of My World, Macklemore consistently addresses topics that are uncomfortable or taboo, in an attempt to exorcise his own personal demons.

His music is inspirational, filled with social and racial consciousness, as well as a constructive political vision. He's also funny as hell, making music that is at once hilarious and affecting. Born and raised in Seattle's Capitol Hill neighborhood Macklemore has been an integral part of the Seattle hip-hop scene for the past 7 years. He developed his style and character as part of Elevated Elements, which he founded when he was just 14 years old, and quickly moved on to pursue his solo career. From these humble beginnings Macklemore has matured, both as a songwriter and performer, into an artist who is clearly beginning to realize his near limitless potential.

The Language of My World marks the beginning of a movement. The album also features the talents of emcee Xperience who, along with Macklemore, makes up one half of the super-group Step Cousins. Step Cousins features the lighter side of Macklemore. The chemistry that these two have together is nothing short of timeless, and their debut album, set to drop in the summer of 2006, is sure to break the mold.
