And everyone that put me in some box is ashamed
That I never was - just a false prophet that never came

from Macklemore and Ryan Lewis (Ft. Ben Bridwell of Band of Horses & Macklemore) – Starting Over Lyrics on Rap Genius

After his song Otherside, which is about him overcoming drugs and drugs being bad, people put him in a “box”, they classified him as someone against drugs, a sort of “prophet” since he spoke out against drugs and overcoming addiction in the song otherside. Since he relapsed, the people that put him in this “box” of being a “prophet” will be ashamed because they believed in him and he made a mistake.
