Watching Movies
Mac Miller Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hoes is all my disciples, you get mind fucked with these broads
Life is just a recital, better remember all that you practice
When I die, throw a couple bad bitches in my casket
Woah, think it's time for a revolution
Me and my dawgs 'bout to start a riot
You still there sleeping, bet I'm eating
You and your people are on a diet
Tim Allen off Home Improvement
Intelligent but we going stupid
This some new shit
Hit the strip club, see some hoes that I went to school with
Out in London like Lennox Lewis
Bitch looking like Farrah Fawcett
I'm just tryna make better music
Get this money, share the profits
Now this class getting led by students
Smoke some weed, get head while I do it
Started out under the ground
They didn't fuck with me, now they all coming around
Money I'm hunting it down
Planting the seeds
Working and watching it grow
I got so many ways I can make money, I'll always be straight
I just thought you should know
Been on my grind, taking what's mine
I got my eyes on the throne
I'ma be fine, no matter the time
We all go along with the show
That girl beautiful, somebody introduce me
She ain't your girl tonight, nah, that bitch a groupie
That's money in my building better give it to me
I see you starin' at me like you in the movies
Now you watching movies
Looking at my life it's like you watching movies
Looking at my life is like you watching movies
Looking at my life is like you watching movies
People worship these idols 'til they come in contact with gods
Hoes is on my disciples, you get mind-fucked by these broads
Life is just a recital, better remember all that you practice
When I die, throw a couple bad bitches in my casket
Woah, fuck a day job, fuck a day job
Gotcha bitch here in just a tank top
Gettin' paid, blow my face off
Bitch you're bank fraud, Bernie Madoff
Educate y'all
Then erase y'all
LL Cool J without the Kangol
I don't see the need to stunt
Wish you the best, I'ma just light up this blunt
This bitch love me long time, don't know why she wouldn't
Say my D could win the Heisman, yeah I'm Charles Woodson
Couple million off a tour, that's a lot of bookings
My bitches gorgeous looking imported from the shore of Brooklyn
Coming from out of the 'Burgh
Bitch, I'm absurd
Fuck you, I hope you insured
Hatin'? I'll give you just what you deserve, that's my word
Put it on all that I'm worth
Been on my grind, taking what's mine
I got my eyes on the throne
I'ma be fine, no matter the time
We all go along with the show
That girl beautiful, somebody introduce me
She ain't your girl tonight, nah, that bitch a groupie
That's money in my building better give it to me
I see you starin' at me like you in the movies
Now you watching movies
Y'all are looking at my life it's like you watching movies
Looking at my life is like you watching movies
Y'all are looking at my life is like you watching movies

Throughout the track, Miller critiques the idolization of celebrities and the way in which people can become mindlessly fixated on their image.

He rejects the idea of a traditional day job and instead embraces his role as a musician, describing the lavish lifestyle that his success affords him.

People worship these idols 'til they come in contact with Gods
People revere famous people until they meet someone truly exceptional
Hoes is all my disciples, you get mind fucked with these broads
Only promiscuous women follow me and can make you lose your mind
Life is just a recital, better remember all that you practice
Life is like a performance, so practice what you want to be remembered for
When I die, throw a couple bad bitches in my casket
When I pass away, include some attractive women in my funeral procession
Woah, think it's time for a revolution
I believe it is time for a significant change
Me and my dawgs 'bout to start a riot
My friends and I are going to cause chaos
You still there sleeping, bet I'm eating
While you are idle, I am working hard and succeeding
You and your people are on a diet
You and your group are lacking and not thriving
Tim Allen off Home Improvement
I am smart, but I can also act foolish
Intelligent but we going stupid
Despite our intelligence, we are doing reckless things
This some new shit
This is something new and innovative
Hit the strip club, see some hoes that I went to school with
I went to the strip club and saw former classmates working as strippers
Out in London like Lennox Lewis
I am in London and feeling like a heavyweight champion
Bitch looking like Farrah Fawcett
The woman I am with resembles Farrah Fawcett
I'm just tryna make better music
I am attempting to create better music than before
Get this money, share the profits
Earn money and distribute the profits with others
Now this class getting led by students
The current generation is taking charge and leading the way
Smoke some weed, get head while I do it
I will smoke marijuana and receive oral sex at the same time
Started out under the ground
I began my journey from the bottom
They didn't fuck with me, now they all coming around
People did not support me at first, but now they are showing interest in me
Money I'm hunting it down
I am continuously pursuing money and success
Planting the seeds
I am sowing the seeds of my future success
Working and watching it grow
I am working hard and observing my success grow
I got so many ways I can make money, I'll always be straight
I have numerous opportunities to make money, so I will always be financially stable
I just thought you should know
I want you to be aware of my financial stability
Been on my grind, taking what's mine
I have been working hard and taking what I deserve
I got my eyes on the throne
I am striving for the top position
I'ma be fine, no matter the time
I will be okay regardless of the timing or circumstances
We all go along with the show
We are all participants in the performance that is life
That girl beautiful, somebody introduce me
That woman is attractive, please introduce us
She ain't your girl tonight, nah, that bitch a groupie
She is not your girlfriend tonight, she is just a fan
That's money in my building better give it to me
There is money in my building that belongs to me
I see you starin' at me like you in the movies
You are staring at me as if I am a character in a film
Y'all are looking at my life it's like you watching movies
You are observing my life as if it is a movie
