The Scoop On Heaven
Mac Miller Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Explain [Verse 1: Mac Miller]
I heard they got nice cars up in heaven
Free liquor out the bar and the brightest fucking stars up in heaven
Heard that you can chill, not worry about the police
Not worry about someone fighting cause everything is in peace
Heard the streets paved with gold, and the women all gorgeous
You just float, can’t even feel where the floor is
I heard heaven got a brand new venue
Next to that restaurant, you love their menu
And everything free, so everyone cool
Look out any window, it’s an incredible view
Everyone you speak to always telling you the truth
And it’s only good shit when you gettin’ all your news
I Imagine that, just a place that we can kick it
And be happy at, satisfaction or maybe I’m dreamin
I’ll tell you what it’s like when I see it

[Hook]
Did you hear what heaven’s like? Can you tell me
Please, I’m really trying to know
Cuz I do what I do when it’s all said and done
Shit I’m just tryin to go
If you hear what heaven’s like, could you tell me
Please, I’m really tryin to know
Cuz I do what I do when it’s all said and done
Shit I’m just trying to go

[Verse 2: Mac Miller]
I heard ain’t nobody famous up in heaven, everybody the same
Just kick it up there in heaven cuz nobody going to change
Nobody can complain, the parties are all insane
The people all know your name, shit you entertain
See everybody you want, always keep in touch and
Go and chill by yourself when everything get too much
Never a fucking rush, so therefore a million plus
You prolly got a mercedes but always could take the bus
So fuck, thats what heaven’s like
I guess think it is
Come to think of it I’ve been drinkin shit
I don't know the truth
It’s what I imagine when I was standin on the booth





[Hook]

I know that no one rly reads these but I thought it was important to share this anways. My grandpa has cancer and we found out that he doesn't have much time left to live. But before i visited him in the hospital I listened to this song and i know its dumb but it made me feel like there was a better place for him to go. And macs depiction of heaven seemed so dope and it gave me hope for him. Thank you Mac. We love you.

Not dumb at all, I completely get it, hearing this now makes me feel like my uncle I lost last year to the same thing is also in a much better place, fuck cancer, 92-♾

Life is the beginning, we work here to reserve a place in the next part where everything is cool and all good news 🌱 but we must have a good relationship with the owner of heaven tho to achieve that we should figure out what he likes and dislike

Huge shoutout to Mac's family for how they've handled his estate. Circles itself was perfectly managed, and now releasing older projects for his fans to enjoy and to keep Mac's love of music alive forever is a beautiful thing to see 🕊

More like his label cracking down to make more money on an artist after they die like they always do. Sometimes an artist is more profitable to a label dead, sadly. There's alot of videos on this topic.

@TheGreatSploogeOf_97* Mac said after he died he wanted all of his music to be released so you are wrong

TheGreatSploogeOf_97*

@Liam Campbell if that's true why YouTube take down all his unreleased tracks and anything not uploaded directly by the label. Wake up dude, the music is great, the industry is not.
