MGK released his fifth album, Tickets to My Downfall, in 2020; it marked a complete departure from hip hop and entry into pop punk. It debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, the only rock album to do so that year, and contained the single "My Ex's Best Friend (with blackbear)", which reached number 20 on the Hot 100. He achieved similar commercial success with its follow up mainstream sellout (2022).
MGK had his first starring role in the romantic drama Beyond the Lights (2014), and since appeared in the techno-thriller Nerve (2016), the horror Bird Box (2018), the comedy Big Time Adolescence and portrayed Tommy Lee in the biopic The Dirt (both 2019).

"Invincible"
MGK Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I hear them loud and clear
Telling me to listen
Whispers in my ear
Nothing can compare
I just wanna listen
As my, world turns
Not only in my chest
But the heart of the streets
So when they feel this, they feel me
But I can't feel nothin', outside these Dre Beats
I am from the city of people who came from the bottom
Standing on top of what was supposed to be my coffin, what's up?
Exception shows me as the dead man walkin',
But reflections show this kid's still got it
Better be known I got the throne like I don't know that there's a king
Never grew up around a family 'cause I'm not a human being
And anyone under my bubble that's coming in my spot, the top
Let 'em have it, cause when I leave, the whole world drops
Lace up Kells
I hear voices in the air
I hear it loud and clear
Telling me to listen
Whispers in my ear
Nothing can compare
I just wanna listen
Telling me I am invincible,
I am invincible
I am invincible, oh oh
Was telling me I am invincible,
I am invincible
I am Invincible, oh oh oh
Waking up sweatin from the stress of being caged out
Everything I write is played out, like what is this?
Tear the whole page out
Man I come from holes on the wall but they don't know the past
Even if I told them at all they wouldn't know the half
So maybe I fill up my luggage with all these dreams
And pull on my black coat and my black chucks and nothing in my jeans
It's just one, til the day come like Rocky's movie scene
And I'm on top of the world, look up the screen like this is me this is Kells
Crucified by the public without the nails
Do or die in my city but clearly I never failed
Lost myself from the game when I found myself from the cell
And I found myself from the fame when I lost myself to the pills
And you cannot mess with me still, seen the boys and they winning
Underdogs of the year Cleveland boys in the building
What the fuck is a ceiling I'm taking us to the top,
And when I leave the whole world drops, Lace Up Kells
I hear voices in the air
I hear it loud and clear
Telling me to listen
Whispers in my ear
Nothing can compare
I just wanna listen
Telling me I am invincible,
I am invincible
I am invincible, oh oh
Was telling me I am invincible,
I am invincible
I am Invincible, oh oh oh
I am
MGK's song Invincible talks about his personal journey and struggles, the voices in the air symbolize the people around him, telling him to listen to his inner voice, to keep pushing, and to stay true to himself. The whispers in his ear represent the doubts and fears he has faced throughout his journey. The heart beats in his chest represent his passion for music and his loyalty to the streets that raised him.
MGK talks about coming from the bottom, about overcoming obstacles like being judged and underestimated by the public, struggling with addiction and the pressure of fame. He also mentions how he found himself when he lost himself, which refers to his own personal battles and overcoming his struggle with addiction.
The song also reflects his views on success and competition, as he asserts that he has the throne, and anyone trying to take it from him can have it once he leaves because he is invincible. He acknowledges that he didn't grow up around a family, but he knows he is not a human being due to his perseverance, and that's what sets him apart from others.
Overall, the song is a personal and defiant anthem about overcoming hardships, staying true to oneself, and striving for success against all odds.
Line by Line Meaning
Voices in the air
There are voices around me that I can hear
I hear them loud and clear
They are audible and clear to me
Telling me to listen
The voices are asking me to pay attention
Whispers in my ear
I can hear the voices as whispers in my ear
Nothing can compare
No other sounds can be compared to these voices
I just wanna listen
I want to focus on listening to these voices
As my, world turns
As my life progresses
The heart beats
My heart is beating
Not only in my chest
Not just in my own body
But the heart of the streets
But also in the community around me
So when they feel this, they feel me
When others in the community feel my music, they feel connected to me
But I can't feel nothin', outside these Dre Beats
I am so focused on my music that I cannot feel anything else
I am from the city of people who came from the bottom
I am from a place where people have had to work their way up from very little
Standing on top of what was supposed to be my coffin, what's up?
I am succeeding despite the odds that were once against me
Exception shows me as the dead man walkin'
People thought I wouldn't make it in the music industry, but I proved them wrong
But reflections show this kid's still got it
Despite what people may have thought, I still have talent and can succeed
Better be known I got the throne like I don't know that there's a king
I am confident in my own success and don't feel threatened by others at the top
Never grew up around a family 'cause I'm not a human being
I have had to navigate the music industry alone and without much support
And anyone under my bubble that's coming in my spot, the top
People who try to take my place at the top of the music industry will not succeed
Let 'em have it, cause when I leave, the whole world drops
I am willing to let others have their own success, but my own presence is important
Lace up Kells
This is a reference to MGK's album and is a sort of personal motto
Waking up sweatin from the stress of being caged out
MGK feels trapped and anxious about his career
Everything I write is played out, like what is this?
He is struggling with writer's block and feeling like his music is old or unoriginal
Tear the whole page out
He wants to start over and scrap his current music
Man I come from holes on the wall but they don't know the past
MGK came from a rough background, but people don't fully understand or appreciate his story
Even if I told them at all they wouldn't know the half
Even if he tried to explain, people still wouldn't understand everything he's been through
So maybe I fill up my luggage with all these dreams
He is determined to keep pursuing his passions despite setbacks
And pull on my black coat and my black chucks and nothing in my jeans
He is focused solely on his work and has no distractions or possessions
It's just one, til the day come like Rocky's movie scene
He is fighting for success on his own, like Rocky in the movie
And I'm on top of the world, look up the screen like this is me this is Kells
He has achieved his goal and is finally successful
Crucified by the public without the nails
He has faced criticism and hate from the public, but it hasn't stopped him
Do or die in my city but clearly I never failed
He has faced obstacles in his hometown but has never given up or failed
Lost myself from the game when I found myself from the cell
He had to take a break from fame to focus on himself and his wellbeing
And I found myself from the fame when I lost myself to the pills
He struggled with addiction but was able to overcome it and find himself again
And you cannot mess with me still, seen the boys and they winning
He is still strong and successful, despite what others may try to bring him down
Underdogs of the year Cleveland boys in the building
He and other artists from Cleveland have faced obstacles but are still succeeding
What the fuck is a ceiling I'm taking us to the top,
He doesn't believe in limits and is determined to succeed further
And when I leave the whole world drops, Lace Up Kells
When he is gone, his impact will still be felt
Telling me I am invincible,
He feels like he can't be stopped
I am invincible
He is confident in his success and abilities
I am invincible, oh oh
He is unbreakable
Was telling me I am invincible,
He felt like others believed in him and his success
I am invincible
He still feels confident in himself
I am Invincible, oh oh oh
He is untouchable and unstoppable

Voices in the air
I hear ‘em loud and clear
Telling me to listen
Whispers in my ear
Nothing can compare
I just wanna listen
[Verse 1: MGK]
As my world turns, the heart beats
Not only in my chest, but the heart in the streets
So when they feel this, they feel me
But I can’t feel nothin’, outside these Dre Beats
I am from the city of people, came from the bottom
Standing on top of what was supposed to be my coffin, what’s up?
Inception shows me as a dead man walkin’
But reflections show this kid’s still got it
Better be known I got the throne like I don’t know that there’s a king
Never grew up around a family because I’m not a human being
And anyone under my level that’s coming in my spot, for the top
Let ‘em have it, cause when I leave, the whole world drops
Lace up Kells
[Hook: Ester Dean]
I hear voices in the air
I hear 'em loud and clear,
Tellin' me to listen.
Whispers in my ear
Nothing can compare
I just want to listen
Telling me
I’m invincible [x3]
Telling me
I’m invincible [x3]
I am
[Verse 2: MGK]
Waking up sweatin’ from the stress of being caged out
Everything I write is played out like what is this
Tear the whole page out
Man I come from holes in the wall but they don’t know the past
Even if I told them it all they wouldn’t know the half
So maybe I fill up my luggage with all these dreams
And put on my black coat and my black chucks and nothing in my jeans
It’s just one, til the day come like Rocky’s movie scene
The day I’m on top of the world, look up the screen like this is me,
This is Kells
Crucified by the public without the nails
Do or die in my city but clearly I never failed
Lost myself in the game when I found myself in a cell
And I found myself in the fame when I lost myself in the pills
And you cannot mess with me still, seen the boys and they winnin’
Underdogs of the year, Cleveland boys in the buildin’
What the fuck is a ceiling?
I’m taking this to the top
And when I leave the whole world drops
Lace up Kells
[Hook: Ester Dean]
I hear voices in the air
I hear 'em loud and clear,
They’re telling me to listen
Whispers in my ear
Nothing can compare
I just wanna listen
Telling me
I’m invincible [x3]
Telling me
I’m invincible [x3]
