What's the Use?
Mac Miller Lyrics

You can love it, you can leave it
You have the choice to either love or leave it, referring to a certain aspect of life.

They say you're nothing without it
Society often claims that you are not valued if you do not have that certain aspect of life.

Don't let them keep you down
Do not allow societal standards to suppress your true desires.

What if I don't need it? There's something about it That just freaks me out
The idea of conforming to societal expectations causes anxiety, as there is something that does not sit right about it.

I just want another minute with it, fuck a little, what's the use?
The artist wants to indulge in whatever they desire, even if it is of little importance in the grand scheme of things, as life is short and should be enjoyed.

Never superficial you gon' know it when it hit you
The singer is authentic and genuine, and their true nature will become apparent to others eventually.

Get a little sentimental when I'm off the juice
When the singer is no longer under the influence of drugs or alcohol, they become more emotional and nostalgic.

Yeah, okay we colder than the breeze But the breeze ain't flowin' like me, motherfucker, hol' up
The artist is confident in their unique style and ability to outshine others.

You don't need to hol' up, yeah And I can show you how it seem, what it is, what it truly might be
The artist does not need anyone to pause or wait, and they can show others their perspective and interpretation of life.

Nothing that you know of, you don't need to hol' up I'm so above and beyond you, take drugs to make it up
The artist is beyond the comprehension of others, who resort to drugs to try to catch up.

Way up where we on, space shuttle, Elon Time we don't waste much, fuck and we wake up Then I have her sing just like Céline Dion
The singer and their partner are living life at a high level, with little time to waste, and he wants her to sing beautifully like Céline Dion.

Catch me if you can but, you'll never catch me, damn Whole lotta, "yes, I am" All the way in with no exit plan Already left and the jet don't land
The artist is uncatchable, unapologetically confident, and fully committed to their current path in life with no plans to change course.

Yeah, the time is ticking Come take a ride, get inside, this is highly different I'm talking fly, got the pilot with me Can I mind my business? Why you trippin'?
Time is fleeting, so the singer invites others to come along and experience something new and exciting. They have someone skilled at the helm, and they question why others are questioning their motives.

Give you somethin' that your eyes can witness Ooh, too close I don't understand why you doing the most (ooh)
The singer will give others something awe-inspiring, but they do not understand why others are getting too close and being excessive in their behavior.

Well, I'ma give you what you came for, yeah Shit, I've worked too hard to have a clue who you are
The singer will provide what others want, but they do not have time or desire to invest in getting to know those individuals.

Set the bar so far above par, we can parlay all day Crib long range with the yard I know I should probably pray more, but you gotta love me 'Cause I save the day, spend money
The artist has high standards that surpass others, with a luxurious lifestyle that reflects their success. They acknowledge the need for spirituality but feel that their wealth and success should speak for them.

When I had nothing, shit, it wasn't so funny Made a promise to the homies, nobody'd go hungry Look how far we came, still they throwin' dirt on my name But it never worried my brain
The artist faced hardships and poverty in the past but made a promise to help his friends. Despite their success and accomplishments, some people still look down on him, but he is not fazed by it.

Heads turnin' like a hurricane swervin' Tell the sun, get up outta my shade They don't get the picture, cut 'em out of my frame, shit I'm up 30 thou miles plus change
The singer is attracting attention, telling the sun to move away from them. They will cut out anyone who cannot see their vision, and they have traveled over 30,000 miles and changed their perspective.

It's been a while but I'm down 'til I'm out And it is what it is 'til it ain't
The singer has been loyal for a long time and will remain so until the end. Life is what it currently is until it changes.

Ooh, oh, oh I just wanna fly, ah
The artist desires to live life to the fullest and experience new things, like flying.
