White Walls
Macklemore & Ryan Lewis Lyrics

I wanna be free
I want to live life on my own terms without any restrictions.

I wanna just live
I want to live life to the fullest without any regrets.

Inside my Cadillac, that is my shit
I feel like a boss when I am driving my favorite car, a Cadillac.

Now throw it up (I throw that up)
I am showing my love for my car by throwing up my arms in the air.

That's what it is (that's what it is)
That's exactly how I feel and there's nothing more to it.

In my C-A-D-I-L-L-A-C, bitch (biatch)
I am flaunting my Cadillac and anyone who has a problem with that can deal with it.

Can't see me through my tints (nah ah)
My car windows are tinted so darkly that nobody can see me inside.

I'm riding real slow (slow motion)
I'm driving slowly, enjoying the ride and taking it easy.

And my paint wet, dripping, shining like my 24s (umbrella)
The wet paint on my car is shining and sparkling, just like the rims on my wheels.

I don't got 24s (nuh-uh)
I don't actually have 24-inch rims on my car, but it still looks great.

But I'm on those Vogues
I have expensive and stylish Vogue tires on my car instead.

That's those big white walls, round them hundred spokes
The tires on my car have white sidewalls and a lot of spokes, making them stand out.

Old school like Olde English in that brown paper bag
My car has an old school vibe, like the cheap malt liquor Olde English that used to be sold in brown paper bags.

I'm rolling in that same whip that my granddad had
I am driving the same type of car that my grandfather used to drive, which makes me feel proud and nostalgic.

Hello haters, damn y'all mad
I am acknowledging that some people might be jealous of my car, but I don't care.

30K on the Caddy, now how backpack rap is that?
I spent a lot of money on my Cadillac, which might seem contradictory to the humble roots of backpack rap.

Man, I'm lounging
I am relaxing and enjoying my ride.

In some shit Bernie Mac would've been proud of
The late comedian Bernie Mac would have been impressed with my stylish car.

Looking down from heaven like damn that's stylish
I imagine that Bernie Mac is looking down from heaven and admiring my car.

Smilin', don't pay attention to the mileage
I am happy and unconcerned with the high mileage on my car.

Can I hit the freeway? Illegally going a hundred and twenty
I am asking if I can speed on the freeway and go over 120 miles per hour, which is illegal.

Easy weaving in and out of the traffic
I am confident in my driving skills and can easily navigate through traffic.

They cannot catch me, I'm smashing
I feel unstoppable because nobody can catch me while I am driving so fast.

I'm ducking, bucking them out here
I am avoiding getting caught by the police and I'm making quick turns to confuse them.

I'm looking fucking fantastic, I am up in a classic
I look amazing while driving my classic Cadillac.

Now I know what it's like under the city lights
I am experiencing what it's like to drive through the city at night, under the bright lights.

Riding into the night, driving over the bridge
I am driving into the night and over a bridge, enjoying the sights and sounds of the city.

The same one we walked across as kids
I am crossing the same bridge that I used to walk across as a child.

Knew I'd have a whip, but never one like this
I always knew that I would eventually have a car, but I never expected it to be as amazing as this Cadillac.

Old school, old school, candy paint, two seater
My car is old school with candy-colored paint and only has two seats.

Yea, I'm from Seattle, there's hella Honda Civics
I am from Seattle where there are a lot of Honda Civics on the road, but my Cadillac is unique.

I couldn't tell you about paint either
I don't know much about car paint, but I still made sure my Cadillac looked amazing.

But I really wanted a Caddy so I put in the hours
I worked hard and put in a lot of effort to be able to afford and maintain my Cadillac.

And rolled up over to the dealer
I went to a car dealer to find the perfect Cadillac for me.

And I found the car I dreamed of, placed a bargain with this geezer
I negotiated a good deal with the car dealer and finally got the Cadillac of my dreams.

Got the keys in as I was leaving I started screaming
I was so excited when I finally got the keys to my Cadillac that I started screaming with joy.

Backwoods and dope
I am smoking marijuana and Backwoods cigars in my car.

White hoes in the backseat snortin' coke
There are white women in the backseat snorting cocaine.

She doing line after line like she's writing rhymes
The woman is snorting cocaine excessively, like she is writing lines of rap lyrics.

I had her inhalin' my love, tryna blow her mind
I convinced the woman to inhale my marijuana smoke as well, in an attempt to impress her and make her feel good.

Cadillac pimpin', my uncle was on
My uncle was a pimp and drove a Cadillac, and I am now taking after him in his style and car preference.

14, I stole his keys, me and my niggas was gone
When I was 14 years old, I stole my uncle's Cadillac keys and went on joyrides with my friends.

Stealing portions of his liquor, water in his Patron
We also would steal alcohol from my uncle and mix water into his expensive Patron tequila to avoid getting caught.

Driving smiling like I won the fucking lottery homes
We felt like we had won the lottery because we were driving a Cadillac and felt like royalty.

(Fuckin' lottery homes)
We were laughing and celebrating our good luck.

Tires with the spokes on it, and the Vogues too
My Cadillac had expensive and stylish tires with a lot of spokes as well as Vogue tires.

Mustard and mayonnaise, keepin' the buns all on
We were eating hot dogs with mustard and mayonnaise and making sure the buns didn't fall apart while we were driving.

My dogs hanging out the window
My friends were hanging out of the car window, enjoying the ride and feeling free.

Young as whoosh, fucking like we ball
We were partying and acting wild, feeling invincible and like we were on top of the world.

Tryna fuck 'em all
We were trying to hook up with as many women as possible while cruising around in the Cadillac.

Never park the whip, see what's poppin' at the mall
We never stopped driving and would go from place to place, seeing what was happening and looking for excitement.

Meet a bad bitch, slap her booty with my paw
When we saw an attractive woman, I would slap her butt with my hand like a paw.

You can smoke the pussy, I was tearing down the walls
We were smoking marijuana and having sex with women, feeling like we were unstoppable and breaking down barriers.

I'm motherfuckin' awesome
I feel extremely confident and incredible.

Swear these sights tryna hypnotize
I am entranced by the sights and sounds of the city and feel like they are hypnotizing me.

Grip the leather steering wheel way I grip the thighs
I grip the leather steering wheel of my Cadillac the same way I grip a woman's thighs when having sex.

See the lust stuck up in her eyes
I see that the woman who is riding with me in my car is filled with lust and desires me.

Maybe she like the ride or did she like the smoke?
I am wondering if the woman is attracted to me or just enjoys the experience of smoking marijuana and riding in my Cadillac.

Or does she want it low?
I am wondering if the woman desires a low rider car instead of my Cadillac.

'Cause this shit a Coupe de Ville so you never know
My Cadillac is a Coupe de Ville, which is not the most common car, so it's hard to know what people will think of it.

So we cruise for minutes, my nigga fuck the limit
We continue driving around, ignoring the speed limit and feeling free.

Got a window tinted, for sure a gangsta in it
I have very dark window tinting, which makes my car look like it belongs to a gangster.

Slide 'til the gas is finished
We plan on driving until we run out of gas, enjoying the ride until the very end.
