Kelly been told me that I'm the world's greatest But still to fall in love is like an orgasm 'Cause you never gonna know if your girl fake it I'm always faded, getting shaded in the basement I just bought a cello, now all I do is play it Thank God that I made it Ask Q where Dave is He'll probably tell you that he's rolling midnights out in Vegas (seven) When I'm in my spaceship, my face is so complacent Wear a suit to cash a check, we're going to the banquet And Jimmy got the burner, but he don't wanna murder And clockwork somewhere out in Sweden speaking Danish like (Husband, isn't this your language?) That man must be a alien I really can't explain it, shit It's just a little cocaine sniff But the lines is longer than parades is, yeah I think it's time to give me all your praises So I can get this money and give all the homies raises My life is on these words, this is my affidavit And if you wanna legal battle, send your ass to David (that's my lawyer) I'm half man-half amazing Probably half God, but that don't fit my calculations (don't make no sense) I know the planet Earth is about to explode Kinda hope that no one save it We only grow from anguish Yea, Miller Mac Yea, Miller Mac (friends) Miller Mac, Mac Miller (Miller Mac) Miller, Miller, Miller, Miller Miller Mac Miller Mac (yeah) Miller Mac (I see you, Mac) Miller, Miller, Miller, Miller (these are my friends) There's snowflakes falling on my debit card Swear I'm not alive, I couldn't tell you if we ever are In this Game of Thrones, it is known I got the 4G, L-T-E connection boards No Control, fuck Ken Lamar (fuck you Kendrick!) I don't vote, I never registered But I'm a magnet for them zeros, call me Edward Sharpe I wake up feeling dead, I need a fresher start So me and Q put people on the label we don't remember Smiled as I saw Jerm, nerding out with Josh Berg Talking analog gear, and drinking Arnold Palmer Any other room, watching C-Span with E. Dan Land out the baseline, doing drums with his freehand When I was in first grade, I wished to be Puerto Rican My mom took me to a barbershop to get some cornrows I walked in, ready for them Sprewell braids But the lady said my hair was too short though, man I always thought my moms was the illest for that shit Driving through the hood she did not have a reaction With a six year old she kept the doors unlocked And drove by the 5-0 like fuck those cops God damn, it just don't stop I know my father probably wish that I would just smoke pot My grandma probably slap me for the drugs I got I'm a crackhead but I bought her diamonds, we love rocks (Miller Mac) I've had the same outfit for six days straight And still all these bitches will get in position because I got their pussies all dripping in pain Somehow, I'm making this music it's just to relate to (You're drownin') and I got the life-raft, ain't gonna save you Look at my reflection, I broke the mirror It's only for protection, shit keep getting weirder Now I can't see a thing but, things never been clearer Call the Mothman, it's Richard Gere (It's Richard motherfuckin' Gere!)
