On And On
Mac Miller Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wanna walk into the mall
Tell the man I'll take it all
Drop it from the rooftop what's gon' break my fall
I think I might I go on and on forever
I Think his could go on and on forever
I wanna walk into the store
Ill take everything and more
I wanna travel round the world
Places I aint been before
I think I might go on and on forever
I think this could go on and on forever

I be riding in my car with the music all the way up
See me shining imma star take a picture see you later
Ive been up some baby shit and everytime I wake up
Gotta head back to reality but reality is greater
Than you could ever imagine you say that you pull up
But im better at rapping, forever the captain
Ill be making music out of joy stick thumbs up
Joint lit y'all get what the point is
Baby I'm here I aint going nowhere
All these haters say im faking but I really don't care
Got my teammate right beside me you know where to find me
Burgh representative I need y'all behind me cause

I wanna walk into the mall
Tell the man I'll take it all
Drop it from the rooftop what's gon' break my fall
I think I might I go on and on forever
I Think his could go on and on forever
I wanna walk into the store
Ill take everything and more
I wanna travel round the world
Places I aint been before

I think I might go on and on forever
I think this could go on and on forever

One day im gonna get mine too
And I think that's sometime soon
Whatever you got in your crib
Im gonna get it times two
If I win or lose what the fuck I gotta prove
Ive been living out my dream everything I saw came true
Travel on a tour before screaming fans
Got a stellar reputation girl be who I am
Im gonna be the man, sir, connecting people everywhere
Like Samsung gotta shoot around the back alley oop and one
This the championship game you ready yo
You don't sound ready better scream it just to let 'em know
My teammate right beside me
You know where to find me
Burgh representative I need y'all behind me

I wanna walk into the mall
Tell the man I'll take it all
Drop it from the rooftop what's gon' break my fall
I think I might I go on and on forever
I Think his could go on and on forever
I wanna walk into the store
Ill take everything and more
I wanna travel round the world
Places I aint been before
I think I might go on and on forever
I think this could go on and on forever

Overall Meaning

In "On and On," Mac Miller exposes the luxurious, carefree lifestyle he desires. He begins with the desire to go to the mall and buy everything in sight - to take it all without a second thought. The chorus then reiterates the idea, but expands it. Miller doesn't just want to go to one store, he wants to travel around the world and explore every undiscovered corner he's never seen. He wants to do this all the while living the good life, and never allowing himself to become bored or stagnant. The second verse offers more insight into Miller's aspirations. He crows about his achievements thus far - touring the world and playing shows in front of screaming fans. To him, the dream has come true. Finally, he's not alone in his journey; he has his teammate beside him and is determined to succeed.
