Small Worlds
Mac Miller Lyrics

The world is so small, 'til it ain't (yeah)
The world might seem small now, but it can quickly expand and become overwhelming.

I'm building up a wall, 'til it break
I am trying my best to cope with my problems and emotions, but I know that eventually I will break.

She hate it when I call, and it's late
The person I care about dislikes it when I reach out to them late at night.

I don't wanna keep you waiting
I don't want to make the person I care about wait for me.

I hope I never keep you waiting (yeah)
I hope that I can always be there for the person I care about when they need me.

I think I know it all, but I don't
I may believe that I have all the answers, but in reality, I still have a lot to learn.

Why you always at the mall when you broke? Yeah
I don't understand why the person I care about spends their money on material possessions when they don't have much to begin with.

And I just wanna ball
I just want to live my life to the fullest and do what makes me happy.

Maybe dunk but I've never been tall (yeah)
I have high aspirations, but I may not have all the qualifications and tools to accomplish them.

I might trip, I never fall
I may make mistakes, but I always get back up and keep going.

God knows I came close (don't try this at home)
There have been times in my life where I have felt very hopeless and close to giving up, but I know that I can't give in to those feelings.

I know I probably need to do better
I am aware that I have room for improvement in my life.

Fuck whoever
I don't care about the opinions or thoughts of those who don't support me or bring me down.

Keep my shit together
I need to stay focused and composed despite the chaos and distractions around me.

You never told me being rich was so lonely
The singer is realizing that having wealth doesn't necessarily provide happiness or fulfillment.

Nobody know me, oh well
Despite any fame or recognition that the artist may receive, they still feel isolated or disconnected from others.

Hard to complain from this five star hotel
The artist acknowledges that their success has allowed them to live a lavish lifestyle and it feels inappropriate to complain about it.

I'm always in a rush, I've been thinking too much but
The singer is constantly feeling anxious, overwhelmed, and overthinking everything in their life.

Keep it on the hush, no one need to know, just us
I keep my thoughts and feelings to myself because I don't want to burden anyone else or expose my vulnerabilities.

That's really all it takes
Sometimes all we need to do to feel content or happy is to appreciate the simple moments and things in life.

We don't need nothing but today (today, today, today, today)
We don't need to worry about tomorrow or stress about the future - we should just focus on enjoying the present moment.

Whoa (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
An interlude or musical transition in the song.

Got a bad attitude
I don't always have the most positive outlook on things.

Playing 'til I'm out of moves
I'm living my life to the fullest and trying to make the most out of every moment.

No need for shame, I get more peace at slow speeds
I don't feel embarrassed or ashamed about taking my time and moving at a slower pace in life because it helps me feel more secure and relaxed.

Go beat the game, young control freak
I want to succeed and dominate in every aspect of my life because I like to be in control.

It's cold in my veins, I'm below freezing, snow season (made me)

She say that I glow below the waist

And a stroke is just so PGA
The singer is making a sexual reference and comparing having sex to playing golf.

All I got is a little bit of space and time
The artist realizes that life is short and they have limited time on this earth to accomplish their goals and enjoy themselves.

Drawing shapes and lines of the world we made

It's gon' be worth it if I make it, babe

Yeah, nine times out of ten I get it wrong

I'm tired, I don't gotta spare a second
