Ten Million Lyrics - Macklemore

[Verse 1] 

I paid my dues, now I'm really on 

Prince to the SEA, put my city on 

Left the condo for a bigger home 

Everything clean like my chicken bones 

I work hard, I work hard for it 

Had to go back to the chalkboard 

We was tourin' countries all foreign 

Now I don't gotta open car doors 

So say what's up to my haters at the club tonight 

I'll be busy singing my daughter lullabies 

When she sleep, I hit the booth and get super lit 

Living my dreams I can sleep in another life 

Living my dreams I can sleep in another life, yeah 

The tensions so thick, you can cut with a butter knife, yeah 

If that's your example of artists, then what am I? 

You lied, they consume it, you say that you boomin' 

That's probably why Metro don't trust you, gosh

[Chorus] 

I am not surprised, I am not surprised, yeah 

Had to optimize, then monopolize, yeah 

We turn out the lights, then we come alive, yeah 

All these dollar signs, ain't no 9 to 5, yeah 

I am not surprised, I am not surprised, yeah 

Had to optimize, then monopolize, yeah 

We turn out the lights, then we come alive, yeah 

All these dollar signs, ain't no 9 to 5, yeah 

[Verse 2] 

Ten million sold, go and look at that 

Ain't no middleman gonna get any of that 

I suck at math, but I know how to add (1 + 1) 

That's a whole lotta money 

Bought my baby's momma momma a pad 

Wow, do a spin move on stage looking like the white James Brown 

There's a whole lotta people in this arena, you know it sold out (sold out, sold out) 

Took my daughter on the road and she pointing at me from the crowd (from the crowd, from the crowd) 

Saying, "That's my daddy, top 5 on stage," no doubt 

In God we trust, God we trust 

They ain't came in the same way 

They are not with us, not with us 

Came back and it's game time 

This the follow-up, and now I'm up 

I decided that was not enough 

Dopps and Budo with that final touch 

Competition, go and line 'em up 

I run this shit, I run this shit, put that on my momma 

I done this shit, I done this shit, since I was pushin' a Honda 

No one hit shit, no one hit shit, platinum plaques in mi casa 

And my accountant's dead (rest in peace) 

Couldn't count the commas 

Photos 

[Chorus] 

I am not surprised, I am not surprised, yeah 

Had to optimize, then monopolize, yeah 

We turn out the lights, then we come alive, yeah 

All these dollar signs, ain't no 9 to 5, yeah 

I am not surprised, I am not surprised, yeah 

Had to optimize, then monopolize, yeah 

We turn out the lights, then we come alive, yeah 

All these dollar signs, ain't no 9 to 5, yeah 

[Outro]
