Macklemore And Ryan Lewis

I recommend that you read «The Alchemist»

Listen to your teachers, but cheat in calculus

Tell the truth, regardless of the consequence

And every day, give your momma a compliment

Take your girl to the prom

But don't get too drunk hanging out the limo

Slow dance with your woman in your arms

Sneak her in after but boy, you better tiptoe

Don't wake your mom up

Do yoga, learn 'bout karma

Find God, but leave the dogma

The quickest way to happiness? Learning to be selfless

Ask more questions, talk about yourself less

Study David Bowie, James Baldwin and 2Pac

Watch the sun set with best friends from a rooftop

Wear a helmet, don't be stupid

Jaywalk, but look before you do it

If it snows, go outside, build a jump, get some help

Get a sled, thrash the hill with your friends, 'til it melts

Go to festivals, camp, fall in love and dance

You're only young once, my loved one, this is your chance

Take risks, cause life moves so fast

You're only young once, my loved one, this is your chance

They say girls shouldn't be tough

And moms should raise their kids at home

But baby, I know that that isn't true

Cause your momma's the toughest person I know

I wanna raise you to be like her

And watch you show the world how to do it on your own.

They say boys don't cry

But your dad has shed a lot of tears

They say I should be a strong man

But baby, I'm still filled with fear

Sometimes I don't know who I am

Sometimes I question why I'm here

I just wanna be a good dad

Will I be? I have no idea.

Слушай Сэма Кука «A Change Is Gonna Come»,

Старайся и не думай о награде, дорогая.

Не пытайся изменить мир, найди то, что тебе нравится

И делай это каждый день.

Делай это до конца жизни

И со временем мир изменится.

Listen to Sam Cooke, a change gon' come

You put the work in, don't worry about the praise, my love

Don't try to change the world, find something that you love

And do it every day

Do that for the rest of your life

And eventually, the world will change.

Live on! And be yourself!
