So good. This song was the catalyst for going to rehab. It didn’t plan our perfect but I tried. Still trying to this day, but this song is prob the reason I keep trying. Talking about his grandmas number one grandson and talking about liking the man in mirror. This sort of thinking is why I keep fighting. I have an idea of the person I am and want to be, who others expect me to be and I can’t let them down
Tired of who I was becoming, tired of running, time to look at the man in the mirror until I can learn to love HIM! To all my people in recovery stay true!
THIS WAS THE SONG FOR ME. I'm 25 now. I have listened to you since you were known as Professor Macklemore. Open Your Eyes was the album that put me on. Can't believe how fast time flies. Thank you for inspiring me, man. Much love and thank you for helping me get through this crazy ass journey that we all call LIFE.
Hey man. I hope you read this. This was my song too. The lines “I’m my grandmas number 1 grandson, I lost myself to remember who that was” “Time to look at the man in the mirror until I can learn how to love him.” I struggled hard in mid 20’s with drugs and a bad family life. My grandma is blind. Whenever I would come around she could tell right away how I was. She said I was too skinny, and I knew I wasn’t living right, and it cut me deep. I went to rehab to get better and the next time I saw her she says “wow, you have been working out” it was the best feeling. My nan isn’t getting any younger and I popped around recently and got a “what’s happening, you are skinny again.” That’s the thing nan, I’m not doing well. It fucking guts me hearing that concern in her voice. I am her only grandson, so it’s all so relevant that I’m listening this again weeks before I go to rehab and give it another shot. Hope you are doing well
January 2014. Driving from Auburn > Whidbey Island > SeaTac > Bellingham > Blaine > in a rented Prius V from work...watching the sun set over the Skagit Valley... ending it all with a ferry ride back to Whidbey. Amazing.
Macklemore is honestly my favorite artist, because he is able to address extremely sensitive topics such as LGBTQ rights, make it a good song, but isn't so hung up on it that he can write such bs songs like Castle
Man, Macklemore is getting slept on as a rapper. He's actually a talented lyricist with something important to say, but of course he's no were near as big as garbage rappers like Future and 2Chains. WTF kinda world do we live in. This album needs to be bigger.
its simply about what makes money. you have a point, but its like saying why do footballers get paid so much more than nurses? because they generate enough money to justify such high wages. people dont like the truth, they dont put their money where its needed.
Did you say lyricist? 😂 Nah fam, he makes good music and he is unapologetically honest but as far as lyricism is concerned, I think we are pushing the envelop there
I had just started my own business when this song came out. It became my personal little mantra. Still killin' it, still rockin' it to this song. Still me. Thanks Macklemore
2013 On my way to Johhanesburg town to collect orders for my cotton lover clients and this song used to accompany me to Jozi everytime!8years later and its still Relevant!🙌🏾

We all fall down...but with help we can all get up. So dont fall for that peer pressure of those games and drugs. And if you do...find a freind to help. This is Josiah Signing off.
Damn.....to a future reader.....if you are reading this comment when it was written 9 years ago.......please reply and remind me of this master piece✌✌
Oh goodness. 1. They turned it upside down to like it, but since it was upside down, they missed and pressed dislike. 2. "your not to bright", seriously? You're* and too*. Hope that'll teach you a lesson about saying how dull someone is.
He didn't stay true long enough, did he huh? Moreover this is older than 2012, he recorded it in 2008 or early 2009, I thought I should educate you a little kids!

I've had Money. I've had none. I've had some. No matter the bread, I was still never happy. Sometimes, I feel like I'm really here by Accident.
Who else coming back to this legendary song in 2021
Man, Macklemore is getting slept on as a rapper. He's actually a talented lyricist with something important to say, but of course he's no were near as big as garbage rappers like Future and 2Chains. WTF kinda world do we live in. This album needs to be bigger.

2 chainz lit and he actually has a high gpa
@@nemohoes8707 Who was talking about GPA though? He was talking about talent and having something to say, things 2chainz doesn't have.
Did you say lyricist? 😂 Nah fam, he makes good music and he is unapologetically honest but as far as lyricism is concerned, I think we are pushing the envelop there
u told fucking truth
I had just started my own business when this song came out. It became my personal little mantra. Still killin' it, still rockin' it to this song. Still me. Thanks Macklemore
2013 On my way to Johhanesburg town to collect orders for my cotton lover clients and this song used to accompany me to Jozi everytime!8years later and its still Relevant!🙌🏾
Damn still love this
Right!!
Always makin me cry , happy and sad ,damnit😧😅😭😂🙏
Make the money don’t let the money make you I miss the old days this shit had people on there feet.
Macklemore was that dude back in 2013 2014
Live life by these words like it’s gospel
Theme song for life.
True dat!
PhantomZAKU My man🙌 facts.
Even more accurate for todaday's days.
"If I'd done it for the money I'd have been a fucking lawyer" yes follow your passion!
lawyers always fuck the justice. been you is the biggest gift to nature
Escuchaba esta canción hasta el cansancio antes del mundial de Brasil y ahora la volveré a escuchar antes del de Rusia
From Italy, ☮️&❤️+☘️ 🙌
Make that money because without it you might not gonna be happy , money it's what gonna help you pay your bills and stuff
Yo this guy is my inspiration!!! This song is so good it talks to me, and that's how I want to be, I want to write as good or even better than him
Crush it bro!
@@JoeHenkel appreciate it 💯
such a great recovery album
Incredible! I came for the Grey's Anatomy soundtrack
Now, this is my job, I will not quit it
Pulled me out the depths when I thought that I was finished
Yeah I questioned if I could go the distance
That's just the work, regardless of who's listening, listening
Listen, see I was meant to be a warrior
Fight something amongst me, leave here victorious
Classroom of kids, or a venue performing
If I'd had done for the money I'd have been a fucking lawyer
Concrete, vagabond, van telling stories
Humbled by the road, I'm realizing I'm not important
See life's a beautiful struggle, I record it
Hope it helps you maneuvering through yours and
That's why we stay in the lab at night
I've been staring into this pad for over half my life
A true artist won't be satisfied
So I guess that's the sacrifice
And I say
Make the money, don't let the money make you
Change the game, don't let the game change you
I'll forever remain faithful
All my people stay true
I say,
Make the money, don't let the money make you
Change the game, don't let the game change you
I'll forever remain faithful
All my people stay true
Forget about the fame, fortune and the mansion
Sitting and tripping watching myself on a plasma
Yeah, I start slipping when I'm thinking about that stuff
Ego won't swole until the karma catches that up, that up
I'm my grandma's number one grandson
I lost myself to remember who that was
We start thinking about some kicks, a necklace
What I really need is a job off Craigslist
Take away the dot com, name, love
Fans, twitter followers, and the buzz
See, you keep the issues but you take away the drugs
And I had to find out who I really was
Who I really wasn't
So sick of who I was becoming
Yeah, tired of running
Time to look at the man in the mirror until I can learn to love him
Make the money, don't let the money make you
Change the game, don't let the game change you
I'll forever remain faithful
All my people stay true
I said,
Make the money, don't let the money make you
Change the game, don't let the game change you
I'll forever remain faithful
All my people stay true
Of course, I want dubs and a candy painted 'lac
Watch the videos and get the girls in the back
But if that's what I believe in, and the reason that I rap
Uncle Sam is my pimp when he puts me on the track
Of course I want dubs and a candy painted 'lac

Uncle Sam is my pimp when he puts me on the track
Make the money, don't let the money make you
Change the game, don't let the game change you
I'll forever remain faithful
Stay true, stay true
And I said,
Make the money, don't let the money make you
Change the game, don't let the game change you
I'll forever remain faithful
Stay true, stay true, stay true
Forget about the fame
I said forget about the fame
I'll forever remain faithful
Stay true, stay true, stay true
Thanks 🙏

In what way? Because he became popular?
