Mac Miller Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah
Well

I got a bone to pick like roses (roses)
I ain't feelin' broken no more
Balled a fist, they gossipin', I notice
Talkin' shit, I wander through the motives
Wonder who the fuck I'm supposed to be
I ain't worried now 'til I leave
I'm just tryna ride and feel the breeze
With somethin' bad beside next to me
Wind in my face
Don't stop now when it feels so great
You can run 'til you slip on the sidewalk
And the same bone you pick gon' break
That's a motif (that's a motif)
Yeah, when it's comin' right back
So familiar, never been realer
Never felt so damn good where I'm at
I don't know what it's all about
Runnin' through the many thoughts to count (that's way better)
Still ain't addin' up, I'll let you know that I've had enough, yeah
Yeah, yeah, well

I'd put some money on forever, but I (hey)
Don't like to gamble on the weather, so I just watch while
The sun is shinin', I can look at the horizon
The walls keep gettin' wider, I just hope I never find 'em, I know
Hey

Well, these are my wings
These are my wings, yeah
These are my wings
Yeah, well

Movin' so fast, the clock look slow (slow)
Water my seeds 'til the flower just grow, yeah
Love so much that my heart get broke
I don't really know how the normal shit go, so
I guess I just play it by ear, silence is all that I hear
Listenin' close as I can
Growin' up (one, two, three) jump
Nobody holdin' my hand, no
Trust is a problem, never knew how, yeah
That's why I just keep to myself
Get what I need, then I'll be out (please tell me)
Who can surf the universe with me?
Lucifer is human, so are we
All I ever want is what I need
And that don't include your time and company
Follow me, we on the up and up
Remember when I owed a hundred bucks
Now, I look around like, "What the fuck?"
If you don't fuck with me, you fuckin' up

I know I need to watch my temper, so I
Don't ever gamble on the weather but I just watch while the
The sun is shinin', I can look at the horizon
The walls keep gettin' wider, I just hope I never find 'em, no, no
Yeah, well

These are my wings




These are my wings

; Inertia again my friend...
“ I’m the moon to the sun how i birthed ya
Turn ya, back to ya old ways, reverse ya
Curse ya, Witchcraft
You get nothing a whole lot of nothing
With you mothafuckin’ bitch ass “
(So first he explains, then he thinks it doesnt work for him)
Like in “whats the use”
“You can love it, you can leave it”
“What if I dont need it?
There something about it
That just freaks me out”

listen to Ladders,

Hes talking about putting the ladder to the sky and Climb up the ‘Freemasonry steps’ till he reach the sky,
“ keepin’ my head on top of my shoulders
Into Some shit, I’m out of the box
This is the ‘level’ I’m on”

“ And you know you are dead wrong, you’re in love with a lie
( we are living in the ‘lie of the devil’ )

All I, all I, all I wanna do is free your mind”

Look up for what the devil’s faith stands for, and what you have to do for it !!
