    [Verse 1: Macklemore]
    They told me that I vanished
    They told me that I had it
    They told me that I'm gone
    I told 'em, "Don't panic"
    When you've done it this long
    And you've seen magic
    And you know it won't kill you
    Even when the whole world doubts it
    This is my moment
    They can't take my talent
    They can't take my stripes
    They can't erase my hours
    I'm from the underground, anything above ground is a mountain
    I'm done tryna impress anybody, but the heavens where I'm headed
    You don't get to hold on me your flowers
    I am in my zonе, eyes on the thronе
    20k deep, better pull out your phones
    Turnin' the arena to believers every time I hit the ceilin'
    Ain't nobody ever touchin' my show
    Look at where we started, look at where we got to
    Almost OD'd that night in the hospital
    Wasn't gonna die, more life in the arsenal
    Got another shot to pull off the impossible
    [Chorus: Tones and I]
    There's no need to cry for me, I'm a fighter
    Fighter
    You can't take my voice from me, I will rise up
    Rise up
    So what are you waitin' for?
    I ain't ready to die yet
    The pain is where faith is born
    Are you alive yet? Are you alive yet?
    Are you alive?
    [Verse 2: Macklemore]
    On my grave, what quote will be etched in?
    Never played the game to be a contestant
    Never joined the league to ride benches
    The wins hit different when they don't expect it
    Yeah, and they ain't gotta like me
    Got my own Nikes, no Nike ID
    And I ain't tryin' to stunt, man
    But my logo went over the Jumpman
    I remember all I had was a bus pass
    Sellin' CDs to make a couple of bucks back
    And now I'm up in meetings and you better believe me
    Now that we got the arena, The Sonics makin' a comeback
    I'm not a businessman, I got children, man
    I treat my city like it is my fam
    'Til the residency gets a buildin' man
    Think I'm playin' 'bout mayor, but that is my plan
    You know what fifty thousand feels like
    When you question, "Is this real life?"
    The money doesn't buy happiness, that's facts
    'Til you take what you made and decide to give it back like that
    [Chorus: Tones and I]
    There's no need to cry for me, I'm a fighter
    Fighter
    You can't take my voice from me, I will rise up
    Rise up
    So what are you waitin' for?
    I ain't ready to die yet
    The pain is where faith is born
    Are you alive yet? Are you alive yet?
    Are you alive?
    [Verse 3: Macklemore]
    I was supposed to be a one hit ringer
    Now I got too many rings and not enough fingers
    Keep doing my thing, they keep chasin' the wave
    Thinkin' that they're gonna be the one to outpace age
    I must got Mick Jagger DNA
    Rollin' Stone bags, pre-check, no TSA
    I'll be seventy-eight, SM58 in my face
    Like, "Who wants to go next?" Nobody's touchin' my stage
    Their heads trippin' like a B-Boy head spinnin'
    I bench press the industry and I deadlift it
    It's been written, I've been runnin', it's been a minute
    Been done it, I bet you a hundred that I've been winnin'
    The Benz tinted, it's been vintage, yeah, Ben did it
    The crib I live in is like Ben Stiller's
    An evening at my house, a night at the museum
    Trophies, plaques all over and the view's decent
    At the end of the day, it's like, "Who needs it?"
    Play on, player, I gotta keep competin'
    Keep dreamin', won't settle for shit
    It isn't sport, it's my life, run the championship, I'm gone
    [Chorus: Tones and I]
    There's no need to cry for me, I'm a fighter
    Fighter
    You can't take my voice from me, I will rise up
    Rise up
    So what are you waitin' for?
    I ain't ready to die yet
    The pain is where faith is born
    Are you alive yet? Are you alive yet?
    Are you alive?
    [Outro: Tones and I]
    Are you alive?
    Are you alive?

    Thank God we all made it this far,
    Have you ever wished upon a star,
    Connected to source right where you are,
    This pandemic left us more than a scar,
    We are more than survivors everyday more alive,
    Patiently Patient on this journey we did survive,
    God bless America so hUmaNITY can thrive,
    Keep the faith this great awakening we strive,
    Stay focused don't settle keep dreaming forward,
    Our children are our future on this path we head toward,
    Put God in their hearts and a peace of mind with our lord,
    Provide them enough strength to remove from the stone a sword,
    Perseverance helps us all stand firm as we all make a way,
    May God continue to work through us throughout each day,
    Woke up this morning to a drop of golden ray,
    Spoke up to the heavens with intention as I pray,
    God we all know you always been there we are never alone,
    For every season there's a reason I've been still in this zone,
    Within this stillness I've utilized this tool we call a phone,
    Meditation spiritual levitation huming OM in this home,
    Through God the greater we are when unified together,
    In time there will be only UNITY in every commUNITY,
    When the virus of hatred meets the antidote of love its as genuine as leather,
    No shade nor darkness can shadow the light with scruTINY,
    Sacred images were carved in rock and writings written with a feather,

      I do not like Tones & I at all however when it comes to her use as a feature here, Macklemore did make the most of her. She actually sounds good on this song and the combination of her and Macklemore worked much better than I had expected it would.
      Definitely one of the better Macklemore tracks in years, sounds like a return to the days of the Heist and This Unruly Mess I've Made which is only a good thing.

      Not exactly. She gave feedback on the lyrics & was instrumental in making the video, but the song is HIS.
      As he posted on FB-
      “She’s the reason I re-wrote the first verse of CHANT. She told me it needed to be more personal. She wrote the treatment to the video and woke up the entire week at 4:30am to scout the lake for lighting. She kneeled in the cold ass water and held my feet while I rapped take after take. I trust her eye more than my own. And she spit on her hand and made sure my hair wasn’t sticking up in the back lol. My biggest advocate. My most brutally honest critic. Her fingerprints are deeply engrained in everything I put out. Just feeling grateful I get to collaborate with my partner. She deserves all the flowers 💕”

    LYRICS :-
    They told me that I vanished
    They told me that I had it
    They told me that I'm gone
    I told them, "Don't panic"
    When you've done it this long
    And you've seen magic
    And you know it won't kill you
    Even when the whole world doubts it
    This is my moment
    They can't take my talent
    They can't take my stripes
    They can't erase my hours
    I'm from the underground, anything above ground is a mountain
    I'm done tryna impress anybody but the heavens where I'm headed
    You don't get to hold onto your flowers
    I am in my zone, eyes on the throne
    20K deep, better pull out your phones
    Turnin' the arena to believers every time I hit the ceiling
    Ain't nobody ever touchin' my show
    Look at where we started, look at where we got to
    Almost OD'd that night in the hospital
    Wasn't gonna die, more life in the arsenal
    Got another shot to pull off the impossible
    There's no need to cry for me
    I'm a fighter, fighter
    You can't take my voice from me
    I will rise up, rise up
    So what are you waiting for?
    I ain't ready to die yet
    The pain is where faith is born
    Are you alive yet? Are you alive yet?
    Are you alive?
    On my grave, what quote will be etched in?
    Never played the game to be a contestant
    Never joined the league to ride benches
    The wins hit different when they don't expect it
    Yeah, and they they ain't gotta like me
    Got my own Nikes, no Nike ID
    And I ain't tryin' to stunt, man
    But my logo went over the Jumpman
    I remember all I had was a bus pass
    Sellin' CDs to make a couple of bucks back
    And now I'm up in meetings, and you better believe me
    Now that we got the arena, the sonics makin' a come back
    I'm not a businessman, I got children, man
    I treat my city like it is my fam
    'Til the residency gets a buildin' man
    Think I'm playin' 'bout mayor, but that is my plan
    You know what fifty thousand feels like
    When you question, "Is this real life?"
    The money doesn't buy happiness, that's facts
    'Til you take what you made and decide to give it back like that
    There's no need to cry for me
    I'm a fighter, fighter
    You can't take my voice from me
    I will rise up, rise up
    So what are you waiting for?
    I ain't ready to die yet
    The pain is where faith is born
    Are you alive yet? Are you alive yet?
    Are you alive?
    I was supposed to be a one hit ringer
    Now I got too many rings and not enough fingers
    Keep doing my thing, they keep chasin' the wave
    Thinking that they're gonna be the one to outpace age
    I must got Mick Jagger DNA
    Rolling Stone bags, pre-check, no TSA
    I'll be seventy-eight, SM58 in my face
    Like, "Who wants to go next?" Nobody's touching my stage
    Their heads trippin' like a B-Boy head spinnin'
    I bench press the industry and I deadlift it
    It's been written, I've been runnin', it's been a minute
    Been done it, I bet you a hundred that I've been winnin'
    The Benz tinted, it's been vintage, yeah, Ben did it
    The crib I live in is like Ben Stiller's
    An evening at my house, a night at the museum
    Trophies, plaques all over and the view's decent
    At the end of the day it's like, "Who needs it?"
    Play on, player, I gotta keep competin'
    Keep dreamin', won't settle for shit
    It isn't sport, it's my life, run the championship, I'm gone
    There's no need to cry for me
    I'm a fighter, fighter
    You can't take my voice from me
    I will rise up, rise up
    So what are you waiting for?
    I ain't ready to die yet
    The pain is where faith is born
    Are you alive yet? Are you alive yet?
    Are you alive?
    Are you alive?
    Are you alive?

    Anyone else see this songs correlation with Macklemore being from Seattle and Seattle Seahawks QB Geno Smith revitalizing his career from being a backup to a top 5 QB in the NFL. “Never joined the league to ride benches” Almost seems like this song is for him, GOAT. Not to mention his song Can’t hold us was heavily used by the LOB era seahawks as our theme. Think this is our next era’s theme with Geno at center 💚💙💚💙 Go Hawks and Go Mack he still got it!

    Hey, I am hoping this message may hopefully get to The Professor...
    Hey man, I've been clean now for 6 years now 3 years in I married two beautiful children one 4 boy and one 6 girl,
    I then had an accident rendering me wheelchair-bound I couldnt work so... I quickly lost the wife my home and now had to go through family court and start again at rock bottom shit got dark and your music hit me hard.
    Bro I listened over and over and over particularly the Heist, This Unruly Mess I've Made and Ben anyway probably sound Cray Cray but 3000% your music helped me and gave me the strength to remain sober and push through those dark days ie Faithful aye...
    I was lucky enough to see you perform live in Perth last year and only just, just got tickets b4 they all sold out to your upcoming tour again in Perth May 2024.
    I don't have a tonne of cash but I would've happily still bought a VIP Diamond Encrusted Golden plated Ticket where I'd get the chance to maybe meet or I can't even really get up and dirty in the nosebleed.
    Unfortunately bc of the wheelchair/scooter means I have to be right, right up back so I don't get in the way of well, the normal people I having a dance I guess.
    Anyway will love it regardless I know even watching you guys up on a screen live will be freaking awesome, don't want an autograph, hat lol nothing free maybe a handshake but mostly just a massive thank you so if i dont get to catch you at the gig then please.
    Here's a bloody crazy big virtual handshake Mr Mack YOU'RE a gentleman and a scholar your music helped me not only stay clean but also gain 50/50 custody of my children but mostly your words saved my life, especially Kevin and Faithful but all of them had a message of strength through struggle.
    Unfortunately I had to leave home at 14 yrs after my father died, my birthday is the 19th of April 1983 😂 your June I was on drugs and alcohol since 14 as you'd know I am also 41 this year.
    Now I have 6 years up and starting to live the life I always wanted and dealt with my shit... well mostly still have a long way to go.
    Okay pretty sure I sound like Stan from MNM lol promise ex is not in the trunk 😂 again my sincere thanks from myself and my children, they're big fans too btw, no pressure.
    Bloody Champion 🏆 🥇 I hope you love your Oz tour just as much as WE ALL bloody will mate 🙏 much love.
    Closed mouths go hungry so I raise my voice bit cheeky but always worth a crack aye 😉

    I must admit, I am glad he made this song. It says exactly what it should say, if that makes sense. Many people have admitted that he was underrated and the first album was undeniable regardless of how many stations of certain appropriate radio formats refused to acknowledge it. People can make jokes, but at the end of the day, no one can deny that Macklemore has the skill, and is truthfully better than many other rappers that people today worship. Wow, I am actually commenting on a pop/hip hop artist's video. This is definitely not normal for me to do unless I really feel encouraged to do so.

    So glad to see new music from Macklemore, you have such a great grasp of the emotion of music and your worth in it. Beautiful expression of your passion for the art. Please keep on this stride right here. Also Tones and I, wow, just wow. Stunned. Floored. Damn girl.

    More people need to sing about sobriety. The highs and lows. So much music about addiction, not enough about recovering. I love you Macklemore. Thank you for seeing us.

    Why do I support this man and encourage my teens to as well. Because there's no illusion, facade,or acting like everything's perfect .
    I'm a Social Worker and a human. We are all beautifully broken and perfectly imperfect, we all have trauma, and truth we wish didn't happen. The reality is pretty photos don't define our lives, it's the messy, scary shit we go thru and fight to conquer in between. That's what matters and makes us human and we are a global community of humans. ✌
