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 ↴
I don't mind (Mind, yeah no no)
Wasting all this of time
I don't, I said I don't mind
Tell me who the most consistent
Is when I leave she be so persistent
Crib overseas cause my bitch is foreign
Never mind school we got lots of knowledge
She got some big dreams but she stuck in college
Look me in the eye since you speak
Like you got this shit all figured out (all figured out)
Keenan got the Audi and we all liquored out
Took one dab now she all trippin' out
SportsCenter anchor this a whole different route
She mad I live at home, like you ever moving out
Bitch, patience is the key
I know I gotta lay up but I'm taking it from three
I'm pacing victory
Just wait and see, time is of the essence
Wasting never wasted, I'm taking this for me
Wasting all of this time
I don't mind (Mind, yeah no no)
Wasting all this of time
I don't, I said I don't mind
Tell me who the most consistent
Is tell her chill, be home in an instant
I took her out for dinner, called the Uber, see it yet?
Look at me and laugh, she say "you ain't copped the Beamer yet?"
Selling records now, ain't you supposed to flex more?
Playing in like 16 countries on my next tour
She said "I get it but at least could send a text more
If you got time for the music, what's the rest for?"
Everything in due time, patience is a virtue
Thinking about what other people got should never hurt you
If you're too weak your heart gets broken like a curfew
Anything worth having always takes some time to pursue
Nothing comes fast except a virgin
Can never take a shortcut, I'm not that type of person
If you love what you have, well then what's the point of searching?
I ever hear you cheatin' it's a wrap like a turban
Quick visits here and there, hope it helps still
I know she longs for commitment and something else real
I'm never around, she look like she on the shelf still
Told me "you don't cop a ring soon, someone else will"
Wasting all of this time
I don't mind (Mind, yeah no no)
Wasting all this of time
I don't, I said I don't mind
Tell me who the most consistent
B gotta leave cause I need my distance
Still feeling different, missing Pops on Christmas
Still spit the truth and the youth will listen
Niggas after cheese, niggas on a mission
Make 'em cooler now, I'm the new edition
5'5" LA girl, cute with dimples
It's not complicated, yo, it's super simple
Now Skizzy be the man wanna see you doing good
I don't wanna get rich, leave you in the hood
Girl in my eyes you the dopest
Reason why I love you 'cause you always keep focused
And I'm always stressing but you know I keep hoping
Had the door closed now you always keep open
Keep smoking, keep motion
It's called progress, take breaks but not yet
Don't take it out of context
But
Wasting all of this time
I don't mind (Mind, yeah no no)
Wasting all this of time
I don't, I said I don't mind
