Ain't Gonna Die Tonight

Lyrics

[Chorus: Eric Nally] I ain't gonna die tonight You can't kill me, not my spirit (No!) History is ours tonight The people are chantin', can't you hear it? Whoa-oh-oh Whoa-oh-oh [Verse 1: Macklemore] Open up the doors on 'em, we playin' tonight Bring on the marchin' band and turn on the stadium lights They gon' learn from me, this is our church of The Life of a champion, ugh, so Freddie Mercury Sneakin' into Hov concerts in nosebleeds The Hov bein' like "whoa" Yeah, independent, keep killin' these people and don't sleep Even the pigeon-toed still standin' on both feet, you know It's obvious whose night this is Grandparents immigrants, couple Irish kids Victory in my grasp, gotta fight for this The streets are ours this evening, goin' undefeated I roll the dice against the staircase, uh huh Steak season gotta marinate, uh huh If I happen to die tonight, put my spirit in the stars Bury me in the grave and carve "The history was ours" Said I— [Chorus: Eric Nally] I ain't gonna die tonight You can't kill me, not my spirit (No!) History is ours tonight The people are chantin', can't you hear it? Whoa-oh-oh Whoa-oh-oh [Verse 2: Macklemore] Wake up, bitch, I ain't dead yet And if I was in heaven, I'd be the best dressed My closet lookin' like a swap meet in Texas And maybe it's excess, but We ain't cut from the same cloth, player Talkin' to a boss player Checks like a ball player Easy money, all layups I be pissin' off neighbors Get up off my dick and get the finger like a cross-fader I be in my lawn chair, star gazin' like, woo! All praise to the most high Your boy in his own J's, I made it to courtside Remember the old days and playin' for co-signs When labels offer me pay, I said that I won't sign I took my weakness and turned that into a weapon And when everybody doubted me, I turned that to my leverage So I stand up on the stage, it wasn't planned, see it was destined Look at fifty-thousand people with their hands into the heavens Said I— [Chorus: Eric Nally] I ain't gonna die tonight You can't kill me, not my spirit (No!) History is ours tonight The people are chantin', can't you hear it? Whoa-oh-oh Whoa-oh-oh [Bridge: Eric Nally] Didn't come this far to lose Won't let death make a move Might not mean much to you, but I'd die for this W Let my life be something to prove Every scrape, every fight, every cut, every bruise I'll lay it all on the line, I'll re-write these rules Victory in my sight, I will not lose [Chorus: Eric Nally] I ain't gonna die tonight You can't kill me, not my spirit (No!) History is ours tonight The people are chantin', can't you hear it? Whoa-oh-oh Whoa-oh-oh
