Machine Gun Kelly released his fifth album, Tickets to My Downfall, in 2020; it marked a complete departure from hip hop and entry into pop punk. It debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, the only rock album to do so that year, and contained the single "My Ex's Best Friend" (with blackbear), which reached number 20 on the Hot 100. He achieved similar commercial success with its follow up mainstream sellout (2022).
Machine Gun Kelly had his first starring role in the romantic drama Beyond the Lights (2014), and since appeared in the techno-thriller Nerve (2016), the horror Bird Box (2018), the comedy Big Time Adolescence and portrayed Tommy Lee in the biopic The Dirt (both 2019).

Make It
Machine Gun Kelly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Am I loud out there?
I mean, do you really hear me? Huh?
The definition of greatness
Is in the making you're witnessing the amazing
Blame me if you awaken you've been sleeping too long
On the one who was chosen motherfucker
But I'm here to let you know it, take a listen
Shut the fuck up for once and just enjoy it, real Music
Bullshit on the daily? Try to avoid it
Your life's ass, similar to a toilet huh?
You see me living chasing everything I wanted, huh?
Forever blunted, ready for whatever coming, huh?
The mailman keep the check coming
The cash in keep the 'vette running
Stop sign? Bitch I run that
Look at where I hung at,
Bunch of Eastside boys on the field, punt that, Ball 4 life!
Give me some shrooms for the serotonin
Me and the crew living for the moment
Everything we wanted is ours
Put me in a fast car
Big house with a beach for a backyard
Stress free 'cause I ain't trying to live with it
The state of mind that I'm in got me thinking different
I used to dream until I
Realized it wasn't shit in reality
'Cause you can make it happen and I'ma make it happen
You gon' watch me make it happen, bet you gon' remember me
Uh, when you see me in that fast car
Big house with a beach for a backyard
Stress free I ain't trying to live with it
The state of mind that I'm in got me thinking different
I used to dream until I
Realized it wasn't shit in reality
'Cause you can make it happen and I'ma make it happen
You gon' watch me make it happen, bet they gon' remember me
Bet they gon' remember me
Damn, so many people got them hating faces
Like why you mad at me? I'm just out here getting faces
Irritated with these bitches and their crazy ways, when
All I wanted was some head on a lazy day, damn
(Where you been?) On the other side of the map
Taking naps in first class getting paid to rap paid off
Having jobs since the seventh grade
Got laid off ever since I've been self made
See my homie wanna see me win
Fronted me some bands told me "Youngin go and get it in"
He believed in it more than I, So I gotta ride
Down to die for my dawgs, yep, EST 4 Life
Opportunity took advantage I gotta manage
Even when it's hard, hard times, yea, what would I be without it?
The struggle made me tougher, forcing me to hustle money in demand
Fuck fame ain't nothing but trouble dawg
I'm never perfect, I got flaws like a lot of ya'll
Who be criticizing on the low, hating on ya boy
Ya'll defensive maybe that's why I offend you
When I dribble through my legs in the mall when it's time to ball
Life on the edge, hope I never fall
Though you pray I do, what a shame
But I maintain shooting for the stars
Let it bang bitch I'm out of range
And just know I shoot back with my rap name
Put me in a fast car
Big house with a beach for a backyard
Stress free 'cause I ain't trying to live with it
The state of mind that I'm in got me thinking different
I used to dream until I
Realized it wasn't shit in reality
'Cause you can make it happen and I'ma make it happen
You gon' watch me make it happen bet you gon' remember me
Uh, when you see me in that fast car
Big house with a beach for a backyard
Stress free I ain't trying to live with it
The state of mind that I'm in got me thinking different
I used to dream until I
Realized it wasn't shit in reality
'Cause you can make it happen and I'ma make it happen
You gon' watch me make it happen, bet they gon' remember me
They gon' remember me
Bet they gon' remember me
Bet they gon' remember me
Bet they gon' remember me
Bet they gon' remember me
Bet they gon' remember me
Bet they gon' remember me

I am asking if people are really listening to me
The definition of greatness

The cash in keep the 'vette running
I have enough money to keep my Corvette running

Look at where I hung at,
You can see where I am and what I have achieved

Ya'll defensive maybe that's why I offend you
You are defensive because that is why I offend you
When I dribble through my legs in the mall when it's time to ball
I am showing off by dribbling a basketball through my legs in the mall
Life on the edge, hope I never fall
I am living my life dangerously and hope that I do not fail
Though you pray I do, what a shame
You might hope that I fail, but that is a shame
But I maintain shooting for the stars
But I will continue to aim for the highest level of success
Let it bang bitch I'm out of range
Let the music play loud because I am too far away
And just know I shoot back with my rap name
If you try to come after me, know that I will fight back with my music
They gon' remember me
People will remember me
Bet they gon' remember me
I am confident that people will remember me
Bet they gon' remember me
People will definitely remember me
Bet they gon' remember me
I am absolutely sure that I will be remembered
Bet they gon' remember me
I can guarantee that people will remember me
