Traffic In The Sky
Mac Miller Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Recently it seem like every where we go
The drinks stay cold where we coolin'
Being broke starts to get a little old
My money had to get some fine tunin'
Tonight might be the night i make it
So let's live it up and dont regret it at all
All these faces, different places
People hit me up but i'm forgettin to call

Get away to California when the weather get's colder
My honey's by the pool and i'm sippin on mimosas
Chillin at the beach house loungin' on the sofa
Try to find a cheuffer on my way to blow up,
Stoner, roll up, fishin, champange wishin'
Five star chefs they cookin' in the kitchen
But makin only the good shit,
See the way i livin' they like oh my goodness

I tell em i'm fine,
I ain't got a damn thing on my mind
And baby all we got is time
Let's just watch the clouds go by

In the rain I need to Panic
Girl, we can lay upon this hammack
No need to pose, everything here is candid
Livin' in the moment, feelin so splendid
Bottles on me you can put it on the Debit
I'm just tryin to have fun tonight, so everybody wang chung tonight
Girl. you could fall in love tonight
Cause trust me I'ma fuck you right
Got My louise shades on
Aint a damn thang wrong
Fillin up cup till the bottle all gone
We just Coolin', coolin, feel the breeze
Had to give you something
You could sing of key like " la lala lala lala"
( " la lala lala lala") I be puffin that " la lala lala la"
(that " la lala lala lala") I tell ' em I'm Fine
I ain't got a damn thang on my mind
Now baby all we got is time




Let's just watch the clouds go by
Ahh, Ahh, ahh, ahhhhhhh,

Recently it seem like everywhere we go
The drinks stay cold when we cooling, cooling
And being broke starts to get a little old
My money had to get some fine tuning
Tonight might be the night I make it
So let's live it up and don't regret it at all
All these faces, different places
People hit me up but I'm forgetting to call
Get away to California where the weather getting colder
My honey's by the pool with umbrellas and mimosas
Chilling at the beach house, lounging on the sofa
Riding with a chauffeur, on my way to blow up
Stoner, roll up, fishing, champagne sipping
5-star chef stay cooking in the kitchen
But making only the good shit

And baby all we got is time

Living in the moment, feeling so splendid

So everybody wang chung tonight
Girl, you can fall in love tonight
Cause trust me, I'mma fuck you right
Got my Louis shades on, ain't no damn thing wrong
