Mills was born and raised in Harlem, New York to his father, a therapist, and his mother, who operated two daycare centers in Manhattan. He attended an all-boys school St. Bernard's School during his elementary years and later graduated from the Browning School. Mills attended Union College to originally pursue a sports journalism major, but he dropped out ten weeks after starting classes to begin his rapping career.
Throughout high school, Skiz made a few raps here and there, although he never thought they would take him anywhere.
However, as a high school senior, he realized that rap was what he wanted to pursue. He threw away his dreams of becoming a sports analyst and even his college diploma to write songs. With heavily supportive parents, Skizzy was able to hone his skills without giving up on his dreams.
After releasing a few projects, including American Psycho EP, Phases, and Pace, he debuted his first major EP. The Red Balloon Project was dropped in 2015, and it received a fair amount of buzz on the internet, even hitting #35 on the Billboard 200. It gave him a few minor hits such as “Be Lazy,” and “Do You There.”
In 2016, Skizzy delivered his debut studio album, Alone Together, with appearances from Jojo, Olivver The Kid, and more. This album gave off a more emotional feel, with tracks like “Girl On A Train” and “Comb.”
Recently, Mars announced his next album, are you OK, which was released in 2018, using a mini-documentary. He explained this album as “a more honest and raw description of my life.”

Skizzy Mars Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What was in that shot 'cause I need more of it
Hit the ground runnin', drop it down for me
Couple thou on it, I might while on it
Young nigga act a fool but he talented
And the love and the work it's hard to balance them
All the time that I lost tryna salvage it
Man these niggas lost they swag that's some tragic shit
Go together like Pusha T and Malice did
Nah I don't love her
I was with the homies 'cause the homies will comfort
You know how it is
Dabbin' too much call me Wax Payne
Her dad famous yo I only know her last name
And all these niggas on the bandwagon mad fake
You get the message, I learned my lesson
Like this, like this, like this like this like this
Oh
I wish, but I never thought I'd get it like this
No
Like this, like this like this like, this
I wish, but I never thought I'd do it like this
Disrespected, so neglectful
Kid from the uptown where we disrespectful
I smoke weed all the time get forgetful
Stay with me for the night I'll be gentle
And I tend to smash girls who don't give a fuck
And drink twenty dollar vodka and red bulls
And she gotta a lot of baggage she ain't get to
And she say she got some problems she gon' get through
Well I'm like we all got our issues
Stay up all night smoke weed watch visuals
Thinking too much make it big when it's little
I'm the realest nigga out girl it's simple
You got questions, I got the answers
Drunk at the club spillin' whiskey on the dancers
I need a purpose, she need a surface
Catch a car to the crib girl it's urgent
Like this, like this, like this like this like this
Oh
I wish, but I never thought I'd get it like this
No
Like this, like this like this like, this
I wish, but I never thought I'd do it like this
This is my shit
I need a girl to fly with
I know your man don't do you like this
I know you want to get high
Like this, like this, like this like this like this
Oh
I wish, but I never thought I'd get it like this
No
Like this, like this like this like, this
I wish, but I never thought I'd do it like this
The lyrics of Skizzy Mars's song "Like This" reveal a young man who is struggling to balance his talent, love, and work. He admits to having shortcomings but believes there is much more to come. He is curious about the contents of a shot, which he believes can offer more of what he needs. Although he has lost time and energy trying to save relationships that didn't work out, he acknowledges that he has also learned a lot. He is realistic about his life and likes to smoke weed and hook up with girls without strings attached.
Skizzy Mars sings about his desire to get high with a girl, and he promises to do things differently from what she's experienced. He is open about his flaws and confesses to being forgetful and disrespectful. He seeks comfort in the company of his friends and refers to himself as a prince who walks around his palace smoking with friends. He reminds listeners that Pusha T and Malice complement each other in their music, but he cannot say he loves one of the girls he hooked up with because he was with his friends just to seek solace in their company. He is the realest, he claims, and is open to answering all questions his partner might have about him, but he needs a purpose in life, and she needs a surface.
Overall, "Like This" is a song about a young man who is trying to figure things out while embracing his imperfections. He is honest, direct, and open to learning from past mistakes.

What was in that shot 'cause I need more of it
I enjoyed the last drink I had so much, I want another one
Hit the ground runnin', drop it down for me
Let's start quickly and impress me with your performance
Couple thou on it, I might while on it
I might gamble a couple of thousands of dollars while partying
Young nigga act a fool but he talented
I might act foolish at times, but it's not indicative of my talent
And the love and the work it's hard to balance them
It's challenging to maintain a balance between work and romantic relationships
All the time that I lost tryna salvage it
I've spent a lot of time trying to fix some situation
Man these niggas lost they swag that's some tragic shit
Many of these guys lost their charisma and style, it's a sorry sight
I'm a prince come smoke in one of my palaces
I live in luxury like a prince, come and enjoy yourself in one of my mansions
Go together like Pusha T and Malice did
We make a perfect team or partnership just like Pusha T and Malice did in Clipse
Nah I don't love her
I don't have any romantic feelings towards her
I was with the homies 'cause the homies will comfort
I was hanging out with my friends, they are my source of comfort
You know how it is
You're aware of how things go or how it works
Dabbin' too much call me Wax Payne
I have overdone the dabbing, and now I'm stoned like Wax Payne
Her dad famous yo I only know her last name
I only know her last name because her dad is famous
And all these niggas on the bandwagon mad fake
Many people are just pretending to be my supporter
You get the message, I learned my lesson
I hope the message is clear, I have learned from my mistakes
Disrespected, so neglectful
I feel undervalued or disrespected, and I've become neglectful
Kid from the uptown where we're disrespectful
I'm from an uptown area where people are impolite or rude
I smoke weed all the time get forgetful
Frequent marijuana use makes me forgetful
Stay with me for the night I'll be gentle
Stay with me tonight, and I'll be kind and gentle
And I tend to smash girls who don't give a fuck
I usually sleep with women who don't seem to care much
And drink twenty dollar vodka and red bulls
I like to mix Red Bull with vodka, even though it's not expensive vodka
And she gotta a lot of baggage she ain't get to
She has a lot of unresolved emotional baggage
And she say she got some problems she gon' get through
She says she's going to overcome her problems
Well I'm like we all got our issues
Well, we all have our problems to deal with
Stay up all night smoke weed watch visuals
Stay up all night, smoke weed, and watch trippy videos
Thinking too much make it big when it's little
I tend to overthink things, making small issues seem more significant
I'm the realest nigga out girl it's simple
I'm the most genuine or authentic guy, it's straightforward
You got questions, I got the answers
You might have some inquiries, and I have the solutions
Drunk at the club spillin' whiskey on the dancers
I'm intoxicated at the club and accidentally pouring whiskey on the dancers
I need a purpose, she need a surface
I'm searching for a mission in life, she's looking for a place to stand
Catch a car to the crib girl it's urgent
Get a ride to my place quickly, it's important
This is my shit
This is my favorite song or my territory
I need a girl to fly with
I'm looking for a partner to travel the world with
I know your man don't do you like this
I know your boyfriend doesn't treat you as good as I would
I know you want to get high
I know you want to smoke marijuana
