Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, un dúo que ha dejado una huella imborrable en la industria musical, está compuesto por el rapero Macklemore (cuyo nombre real es Ben Haggerty) y el productor Ryan Lewis. La historia de cómo se unieron es tan fascinante como su música.
Ben Haggerty nació el 19 de junio de 1983 en Seattle, Washington. Desde joven, mostró un profundo interés por la música y la cultura hip-hop. A la edad de seis años, comenzó a escribir letras, y a los 15, ya estaba involucrado en el rap. Haggerty adoptó el nombre artístico de "Macklemore" mientras estudiaba en la Garfield High School. Continuó su amor por la música en la Universidad Estatal de Evergreen, donde se enfocó en educación musical.
Ryan Lewis nació el 25 de marzo de 1988, también en el estado de Washington. Su inclinación por la música y la tecnología lo llevó a la producción musical desde joven. Lewis se graduó de la Roosevelt High School en Seattle y asistió a la Universidad de Washington, donde siguió perfeccionando sus habilidades como productor y DJ.
El destino los unió en 2006 cuando Ryan Lewis fue contratado para realizar fotografías promocionales para Macklemore. Sin embargo, no fue hasta 2008 cuando empezaron a trabajar juntos de lleno. La química entre ellos fue inmediata; compartían un entendimiento profundo sobre la música y una visión similar

[Hook: Buffalo Madonna]
And on on and on and on we go
And on on and on and on we go
We love who we are but now its gone
Lets leave before we eat each other alive
Alive
[Verse 1: Macklemore]
Same city, yeah, we cant break up
Nice mask on, wear the same one
The greatest trick that the devil ever pulled
Was convincing women that they looked
Better in their makeup
I wear war paint, fight to the casket
Too tired to apologize on this mattress
Emotional detachment whats the matter?
Shes learning that she never should have
Dated a rapper
I dont blame her, my mind is gone
Im at dinner, checking phone calls
Texts & blogs
I dont hear a word, I know nothing at all
Just concerned about the world
Memorizing these songs
Goes on and on
Dont wanna break you
But Im leading you on
On, on, on, on
And now its gone
[Hook: Buffalo Madonna]
And on on and on and on we go
And on on and on and on we go
We love who we are but now its gone
Lets leave before we eat each other alive
Alive
You are the love of my life
You are the love of my life
You are the love of my life
This time we know we know
Its over, over
[Bridge: Buffalo Madonna]
Didnt believe in love until we fell out
Gave the keys back, now Im on the homies couch
Always going out, sleeping round with strangers
Danger! But you cant live without her
Now youre paranoid, checking on her cellphone
Making sure she aint like you alone
Havent made love with the lights still on
Its like youre hiding something from me
[Verse 2: Macklemore]
Lets fake another toast to the good life
Predict the future, clean slate, blue sky
Fantasy: I see me husband, you wife
Lyin, staring into those two eyes
And I cant take it, back to where we came from
My pavement, past the emotional earthquake foundation
Yeah, lets keep swimming in the snake pit
Get bit, get out then jump back into the suffocation
Make up and fuck to save us like we got this
Come on, this is just us baby
And this is just a fight, this is just love maybe
Is it just you or am I fucking crazy?
I swear to god, I wish that I could Photoshop the scars
Off
Cold world and get all my heart throbbed
And I said it all and never get lock jaw
Mouth is a sawed off shotgun at any second could pop
Off
How does the truth taste?
My job comes with complimentary toothpaste
Lately, Ive been living up out of my suitcase
Building trust in that Im leaving on Tuesday
Bought a one night stand, just a bootleg
A duplication of something authentic
Heart augmented, and its so hard to end it
I said peace before but this time I meant it
[Bridge: Macklemore & Buffalo Madonna]
Cant get her out of my head
This place is a mess
Holding onto cobwebs
That has us both on the fence
She walks that thin line
In and out of my bed
Each time I love her less
Cant get her out of my head
This place is a mess
Holding onto cobwebs
That has us both on the fence
She walks that thin line
In and out of my bed
Each time I love her less
[Hook: Buffalo Madonna]
And on on and on and on we go
And on on and on and on we go
We love who we are but now its gone
Lets leave before we eat each other alive
Alive
You are the love of my life
You are the love of my life
You are the love of my life
This time we know we know
Its over
