Wut
LE1F Lyrics
Yoyoyoyoyo
Yo ayo. wuut
Wut it is? Wut is up? Wut is wut?
Wut it do? Wut it don't?
Wut it is? Wut is up? Wut is wut?
Wut it do? Wut it don't?
Came through in the clutch, stomping like i’m up in Loubitons
Boys they wanna paint me like I'm canvas to do sumi on
I hate bottled water but whatever I’m pouring Evian
I’m the kind of john closet dudes wanna go steady on
Toss my gems up, raise the bar. Yung Phenomenon
I make a neo-nazi kamikaze wanna firebomb
I’m da bomb diggity. Got ya moms feelin me
Tell ya man chill on me. Hang loose like literally
Wut it is? Wut is up? Wut is wut?
Wut it do? Wut it don't?
Wut it is? Wut is up? Wut is wut?
Wut it do? Wut it don't?
I'm getting light in my loafers
And I stay getting life til life’s over
I’m butter like cocoa
L O L O L O L I’m loco
I feel like I might be such sick rapper
People used to say I was articulate and dapper, so I
Started hugging trees and acting like a bastard
Just to show them who’s the new master
Dumb ones thinking I'm from the bush
I hit em with a hee and I make em all shush
I’m black and I’m proud and my swag pack loud like
Vanilla swisher with bubblegum kush
Fantastic since Scholastic amongst dudes stiff like Mattel
Carbon copys look so plastic talking bout let's keep it real
I need a sharp fade baby line me up. Time to step your cookies up
You ain't giving it enough. I need my Oreo’s double stuffed
Ukrainian cutie –he really wanna cuddle
The fever in his eyes. He wanna suckle on my muscle
He wanna burst my bubble and see what’s up in my jungle
A Christopher Colombo fumble’s how that cookie crumbled
This yuppie’s talking blah blah. He wants to Bink my Jar Jar
He’s twinked out. I’m like nuh uh. I'm laughing at em like haha
I’m an emperor. Wanna see me in my new clothes?
Mother of the house. Care to see me in a new pose?
Wut it is? Wut is up? Wut is wut?
Wut it do? Wut it don't?
Wut it is? Wut is up? Wut is wut?
Wut it do? Wut it don't?
I'm getting light in my loafers
And I stay getting life til life’s over
I’m butter like cocoa
L O L O L O L I’m loco
Rolling up a personal and chomping on a mango
Whiskey in my cup, posing like i’m in a manga
I'm a black Ken doll, a number 2 pencil
Freshmaker like Mentos. Let me be your mentor
Aries, Leo rising. Nasty with the timing
I see a goonie vibing. I be like "hi man"
Native to the island. Fantasies realizing
I see a hater hating and I be like "goodbye fam"
Wut it is? Wut is up? Wut is wut?
Wut it do? Wut it don't?
Wut it is? Wut is up? Wut is wut?
Wut it do? Wut it don't?
I'm getting light in my loafers
And I stay getting life til life’s over
I’m butter like cocoa
L O L O L O L I’m loco

@Garrett Lee Fail. This is not sampling. If you knew music, and particularly hip hop, sampling is taking an exact piece of another song's recording and replaying it in your own song at the same or faster/slower rate of play and/or higher or lower level of volume at the same or different layer (background, foreground etc).
Even if the definition expanded further than that, it would never expand to the point where it included what Macklemore did with regards to this song. None of this song is actually a part of Macklemore's as far as a piece of this one playing back in Thrift Shop. Macklemore basically used certain pieces of this song and replicated them slightly differently and used them in slightly different parts of the structure.
What Macklemore did I believe takes more talent than simply using a "sample" but it's also less ethical and more "dirty" since Le1f was given neither credit, nor monetary compensation for this as is conversely almost always the case with samples - and if not, generally the original artists sue afterwards (an example is Enigma - Return to Innocence and the aboriginal/native Taiwanese artist suing as a result of Enigma first, without permission using it as a sample and also refraining from giving credit to them (at least initially).
Talent points are subtracted however when it becomes obvious that Macklemore didn't come up with his own sh_t and straight ripped this one off. As another person commented here, Macklemore even says "Wut Wut..Wut...Wut Wut...Wut". It's like, for some unknown and illogical reason Macklemore was even trying to rub it in that he did all of this. Crazy. Regardless, I like both versions and begrudgingly I prefer Macklemore's over this one, HOWEVER, I am very surprised that I like this one as much as I do. It gives credit to this artist in not only how good and catchy this song it, but also that Macklemore liked it so much that he effectively copied it AND that the copy was so successful.
