100 Grandkids
Mac Miller Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I made a promise to my momma
That I'll bless her with some grandkids, she can spoil them
Until then, I'm getting dollars, I'm just doing what I gotta
Can a man live? And it's all day homie
I'm a God, give the whole squad a job, get them all paid
Came a long way from all state, yeah
Now we all American, we all American
I swear to God I put the hero in heroin
These flows, kilos
I could sell snow to a ski slope
I could sell evil to the devil
Nonbelievers to a temple
Shit, I could sell water to a speedboat
And these eyes is iconic
I went pro, made profit
Now I keep some dead face in my pocket
Getting faded, I been stoned all week
But what's a God without a little OD? Just a G
Breezing my weed, easing my mind
Why you worry about me?
Stop tripping, I'm fine
Swear these bitches done lost it lately
You put the ho in honest baby, so complicated
And I may be a little arrogant, I'm aware of it
I know, I know
I got a problem, I'mma take care of it
Weight I'm carrying, gotta let it go
It won't hold me down no more

I made a promise to my momma
That I'll bless her with some grandkids, she can spoil them
Until then, I'm getting dollars, I'm just doing what I gotta
Can a man live? And it's all day homie
I'm a God, give the whole squad a job, get them all paid
Came a long way from all state, yeah
Now we all American, we all American

We ain't going nowhere
We can't be stopped now
'Cause this rap shit's for life
We ain't going nowhere
We can't be stopped now
'Cause this rap shit's for life

Back then I had a dream
I'll get this money, man
I know, my life would change
Just need a hundred grand
Back then I had a dream
I'll get this money, man
I know, my life would change
Just need a hundred grand
Back when I first made a hundred grand

Yeah, okay, back then they used to call me little
But now I'm ridin' something clean in a coat made of armadillo
They haven't got the memo, they sayin' I'm the shit though
Tryna make it complicated when this shit is simple
Tell me what you wanna be, what your dreams is
A hundred G's in my jeans, I'm a genius
Each and every day some save me please
And get schooled, homie, change degrees
I'm the plug, what you need though?
I'm goin' beast mode
I keep a freak, even when she underwater she can deep throat
(Wait what?)
I made a mil' before I pay the bill
Cause fools worried about a wave, I'm a NAVY seal
Come with me, I can make your life change for real
Always had a dream of stuntin'
It ain't nothing unless we runnin' shit
Just a young motherfucker with a plan
Thought I was the man

Back when I first made a hundred grand, thought I was the shit
When I first made a hundred grand, thought I was a king
When I first made a hundred grand, couldn't tell me nuttin
When I first made a hundred grand, made a hundred grand
(Let me get some money)

Let me get some money (Time flies)
Let me, let me get some money (Yeah, you know time flies)
I just need some shoes my niece (Try to catch it)
Can we stop at Chipotle?
Let me get some money (Time flies)
Let me, let me get some money (yeah, you know time flies)




Let me get some money (Try to catch it)
Let me, let me get some money

Women have been acting differently lately, and it's hard to trust them. You are the one who is too honest, making things complicated. I admit that I can be a bit overconfident, but I will work on it. I know I have issues but I will deal with them. The baggage I have been carrying is too heavy, and I need to let it go, so it won't bring me down anymore.


We ain't going nowhere We can't be stopped now 'Cause this rap shit's for life

What do you aspire to be in your life? For me, having a hundred thousand dollars in my pocket makes me feel smart and powerful. I need help every day, and sometimes it's humbling, but I am always willing to learn and grow. Need what I can provide? I am going to give it to you with intensity.


I keep a freak, even when she underwater she can deep throat I made a mil' before I pay the bill Cause fools worried about a wave, I'm a NAVY seal
I keep a promiscuous woman who can perform oral sex even while underwater. I made a million dollars before I paid any bills because some people are too busy worrying about keeping up appearances while I am as strong as a NAVY SEAL.

"Gettin' faded, I been stoned all week
But what's a God without a little OD? Just a G
Breezing my weed, easing my mind
Why you worry about me?
Stop tripping, I'm fine
Swear these bitches done lost it lately
You put the ho in honest baby, so complicated
And I may be a little arrogant, I'm aware of it
I know (I know)"
Who else can relate to that?

'What's a god without a little OD? Just a G.' Gets me every time I hear it since his death. He was so much more than just a regular G. RIP Malcolm.

@user-qk8pp6cf4q

Isn't malcom his real name?

@lilkhaos8133

Love that line too

@mckenziewilson4459

Even weirder is his album is go od am and he says just a g which represents geometry and the architect his father is a architect imo I think he faked it to get away from his fam he said a lot of shit in his music that points u in that direction

@ch4rlz398

@@mckenziewilson4459 that's a nice thought, but no. Hes dead. I know because i was doing the exact same drugs he was when he died, except even harder and smoking fentanyl directly.

I know exactly what he was going through. And when i got sent into a spontaneuous seizure from my overdose for those 5 minutes, I understood exactly what happened to him.

He was just alone when he died, and i wasn't. I think that was a big reason why he didnt wake up but I did honestly.

@GraavyTraain

He said it in front of the kids for a reason
