Lyrics of ' I KNOW (feat. charlieonnafriday) ' by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis

I know, my mama always told me I should drive slow
But I been bending corners with my eyes closed
Feel like I been sleeping on a tightrope
But it's my time though
Run that back again, I would throw it away
One-way ticket, I'ma to go MIA
Ain't no bottle big enough to hold all this pain
The world's going to know my name

They told me don't spend too much time looking back
Stare at the future too long the present's what you're looking past
Mistakes can be hard to face in that looking glass
But I wouldn't be who I am if I took them back, nah
Just a kid in the back of the bus in his headphones
Trying to crack at a bad one and not get left off in the friend zone
Put my name at the top in Helvetica where the letterhead goes
I'm rounding third and finally got that go ahead to head home
This is Grandma's cornbread flow
When the album's finished, I'm taking the fam to Venice
And I ain't going to Club Med though
I'm not well read, no quoting Shakespeare off the head
But the mouthpieces always trend and a little more Detroit red though
The talk, Pellegrino, Arrowhead, no
All my dawgs with me like I bought some stock in Petco
Off the leash, all their bark is cheap
I finally cut the strings
I didn't want to have to dance and sing and answer to Geppetto
Life's too short, whether I like it or not
I don't exist in the dimensions they put 'round my box
Just me, myself, a ceiling, a couple of thoughts
No one on their deathbed regrets the things that they should've bought
The greatest resource is time and you can't buy back the clock
You can't rewind the tape and dub over the things I've watched
Only a matter of time before they pass the rock, give me a shot
I promised my mama I'ma to show the world what I got, like

I know, my mama always told me I should drive slow
But I been bending corners with my eyes closed
Feel like I been sleeping on a tightrope
But it's my time though
Run that back again, I would throw it away
One-way ticket, I'ma to go MIA
Ain't no bottle big enough to hold all this pain
The world's going to know my name
