TESTO
[Macklemore]
I went to the moped store with shoppers
Salesman like “What up, what’s your budget?”
I’m like “Honestly, I don’t know nothing about mopeds”
He said “I got the one for you, follow me”
Oh it’s too real
[?] down here, I don’t need a windshield
But on a seat, how can it be on two wheels
Eight hundred cash, that’s a hell of a deal
I’m headed Downtown, cruising through the alley
Tip-toeing in the street like Dally
Pulled up, moped to the valley
Whitewalls on the wheels like Manny
Dope, my crew is ill, all we need is two good wheels
Got gas in the tank, cash in the bank
And a bad little mama with her [?] in my face
I’mma lick that, stick that, break her off, kick that
Snuck her in backstage, you don’t need a wristband
Dope
[Verse 2]
Killing the game ’bout to catch a body
Passed the [?] I’m the [?]
Timbaland, Khaled, Scott Storch, Birdman
God damn man, everybody got Bugattis
But I’mma keep it hella 1987
Head into the dealership and drop a stack and cop a Kawasaki
I’m stunting on everybody
Hella raw, pass the wasabi
I’m so low that my cajones dragging on the concrete
My seat is leather, bottom line it’s pleather
But girl, we could still ride together
You don’t need an Uber, you don’t need a cab
Forget a bus pass, you got a moped man
She got 1988 Mariah Carey hair
[?] wear, mom jeans on her derriere
Trowing up the West Side as we tear in the air
Stopping by pipe place, throwing fish to a player
[Chorus]
Downtown, downtown (Downtown)
Downtown, downtown
He has his arms around your waist
With a balance that could keep us safe
(Downtown)
Have you ever felt the warm embrace
(Downtown)
Of the leather seat between your legs
(Hey-ey-ey-ey, hey-ey-ey-ey)
(Hey-ey-ey-ey, hey-ey-ey-ey)
You don’t want no beef, boy
Know I run the streets, boy
Better follow me towards
(Downtown)
What you see is what you get girl
Don’t ever forget girl
Ain’t seen nothing yet until you’re
Downtown
[Interlude]
Dope
Cut the bull
Get off my mullet
Stone washed, so raw
Moped like a bullet
It can’t catch me
A po-po can’t reprimand me
I’m in a B-Boy stance, I’m not dancing
I got your girl in the back doing tandem
Because I’m too damn quick, I’m too damn slick
Whole downtown yelling out “who that is?”
[Verse 3]
It’s me, the M the A-C the K
Stunting like a French pimp from back in the day
I take her to Pont Du Ray and I watch her skate
I mean, water ski, ollie ollie oxen free
I’m perusing down fourth and they watching me
I do a handstand, an eagle lands on my seat
Well hello, but baby, the kickstand ain’t free
Now do you or do you not wanna ride with me
I got one girl, I got two wheels
She a big girl but ain’t a big deal
I like a big girl, I like ‘em sassy
Going down the backstreet listening to Blackstreet
Running around the whole town
Neighbors yelling at me like, “you need to slow down”
Going thirty-eight, damn, chill yourself out
Mow your damn lawn and sit the hell down
If I only had one helmet I would give it to you, give it to you
Cruising down Broadway, girl, what a wonderful view, wonderful view
There’s layers to this ish player, Tiramisu, Tiramisu
Let my coat-tail drag but I ain’t tearing my suit, tearing my suit
[Chorus]
Downtown, downtown (Downtown)
Downtown, downtown
He has his arms around your waist
With a balance that could keep us safe
(Downtown)
Have you ever felt the warm embrace
(Downtown)
Of the leather seat between your legs
(Hey-ey-ey-ey, hey-ey-ey-ey)
(Hey-ey-ey-ey, hey-ey-ey-ey)
You don’t want no beef, boy
Know I run the streets, boy
Better follow me towards
(Downtown)
What you see is what you get girl
Don’t ever forget girl
Ain’t seen nothing yet until you’re
Downtown
[Outro]
You don’t want no beef, boy
Know I run the streets, boy
Better follow me towards
(Downtown)
