Diablo
Mac Miller Lyrics

Yeah, yeah, yeah Rap diablo Yeah, yeah
Mac Miller is introducing himself as the 'Rap Diablo' and setting the tone for the rest of the song.

It's the rap diablo, Macho when I drop flows Bar gets raised up, it's me and Petey Pablo Colder than gazpacho, colder than the mono Rappin' head honcho, rockin' shows like I was Bono
Mac Miller is confident and powerful with his rapping. He compares himself to macho-like figures and says that when he performs, he raises the bar. He also says that he is cold-hearted and is the head honcho amongst other rappers.

I go, play a couple keys on the piano The industry a lie, all the promises were hollow Follow me, I could show you where we be's at How's I get my G pass, none of your fuckin' beeswax
Mac Miller is a talented musician and knows the lies within the music industry. He says that he is the real deal and can show others where to be. He's also saying that how he got his reputation is nobody's business.

These raps, bring these joints together like a kneecap Fuck the little 8-balls show me where the keys at The time continuum, Mortal Kombat finish 'em Tryna find a balance reachin' from my equilibrium
Mac Miller's raps bring people together like a kneecap. He's also saying he wants the real drugs, not just the little amounts. He likens life to Mortal Kombat, and he's trying to find balance in his life.

Fools I pity 'em, I'm not a human I'm amphibian Fake superhero like the Mystery Men I ain't savin' nothin' I'm gettin' faded to the angels come and skippin' the famous functions How do the famous function? The A-list can't be trusted I strong arm 'em like I play the trumpet The bottom barrel of society I tell my bitch if she don't love me then just lie to me I'm finer than the winery Take it from the rich, this is piracy (piracy) Finally, I don't even need my fuckin' eyes to see Come and die with me
Mac Miller feels above humanity (amphibian) and doesn't think of himself as a hero. He doesn't want to be saved or attend social events where famous people will be at. He believes the rich have it coming to them and uses piracy to achieve what he wants. He doesn't need his eyes to see, because he knows how the world works. He wants people to join him in his rebellion.

'Cause everybody got dead homies (On the dead homies) Said everybody got dead homies (On the dead homies) Yeah, said everybody got dead homies (On the dead homies) Said everybody got dead homies
Mac Miller acknowledges that everyone has lost someone they know and loves. He's reminding listeners to honor those who have passed.

Okay, my mind is Yoda, I'm on Ayatollah These other rappers just a diet soda I find Jehovah in the darkest places Empty as apartment basements This a marathon gentlemen go ahead and start the races Save the coffin spaces Don't come up missin' Tell your bitch you've been trippin' now you on vacation
Mac Miller's mind is wise and experienced like Yoda. He thinks that other rappers aren't as good as him and only a watered-down version of rap. He finds God in dark places, and his mind is sometimes empty like an abandoned apartment. Life is a marathon, and he wants to start the race now. He's warning people not to mess with him, or they will end up in a coffin. He also talks about lying to your girlfriend to go on vacation.

Rappin' like it's automated Lights I keep em' on like Vegas Lava makin' so hot I'm turnin' hog to bacon Only God can save him, I heard the monsters made him I ain't a star I'm way farther with the constellations Contemplatin' suicide like it's a DVD Lost inside my mind it's a prison homie leave me be You can see me bleed, I be with the freaks and geeks Bitch, I never miss a beat I'm Charlie Conway, triple deke Gordon Bombay in these streets Ballin' like I'm Pistol Pete Been a beast, every word I spit rewritin' history Look at what you did to me, look at what you did to me Runnin' to the underworld with guns and set the centers free No bitches in my circle, I'ma show you the commercial I've been poppin' like a kernel Readin' Justin Beiber's journal Treat you like a urinal
Mac Miller is an excellent rapper, and his performances are effortless. He feels like he's on fire, going unnoticed by anyone except God. He's not just a star; he's beyond that, existing with the constellations. Mac Miller contemplates suicide and feels trapped in his own mind. He's never missed a beat and is confident in his abilities. He's had a rough past that he's blaming others for. His music sets people free from their problems. He doesn't let women in his circle, and he's using Justin Bieber's journal as inspiration. He'll treat others like a urinal if they cross him.
