Yeah
Who's that on the other end of the phone?
Didn't hear nothin' when I said my hello
Oh well, to hell then we go
So high, lookin' at heaven below
You know me though from coast to coast for smokin' dope
Overdose with the Holy Ghost, but hold the phones
I hold my own, was local grown
Been killin' this shit since "Row the boat"
Know I'm supposed to hold the throne, be honest
One more drink, I'ma be an alcoholic
I don't wanna think like, "Better unconscious"
Need fresh air, everything so toxic
I open coffin doors with a .38 when it's time for war
Told my mama, "You ain't need no drama
And "you ain't gotta cry no more now"
It'll be alright
My mind on the run, I won't sleep tonight, it's like
When it all goes up in flames, who gon' hold me down?
And I'm the chosen one
Lookin' all around, what has the world become?
The only way to change it is to burn it to the ground
I've been gettin' paid
About four or five bitches in the Escalade, let it rain
This money feel the same, I'm afraid that I'ma drown
Yeah
You've never been better than me
From this prison, I'm settin' 'em free
Open eyes, I'ma let you see
This world just like our dreams
I'll throw it all away to celebrate one more holiday
I'm runnin' to the edge and when I get there, best believe that I'ma jump, jump
To see if I can fly, fly
I wonder if I jump, jump
Do you think that I can fly, fly?
Yeah
It's the life of a entertainer
I need that check, go and get the waiter
Fuck "Control"
This destruction mode and these explosions don't need detonators
I met my maker in a elevator
He was headed to the top floor
We're quite similar
We just did our work, but we were in it for a lot more
We would try to change the world, but we got bored
When I rip this show, got a encore
Back when we were still in school, we didn't listen to the list of rules
Wrote a million words on the chalkboard
I don't need answers to the questions of intangibles
I told my homies, "The top so lonely but we ain't gonna die, not now"
You gon' make it here, live free tonight 'til the day appear
Let's sit back right where we at and let this money pile
How do we get rich?
If she actin' crazy, you don't need that bitch
Wish I knew back then all the things that I know now
Go on and on, knew I had this shit all along
Take a breath, feel this moment, hold it just so you can
Look where we at and look where we came from
When will we wake up? Lost in translation
You've never been better than me
From this prison, I'm settin' 'em free
Open eyes, I'ma let you see
This world just like our dreams
I'll throw it all away to celebrate one more holiday
I'm runnin' to the edge and when I get there, best believe that I'ma jump, jump
To see if I can fly, fly
I wonder if I jump, jump
Do you think that I can fly, fly?

About this song
Mac Miller was an American rapper and singer from Pittsburgh whose genre-spanning hip-hop combined party-starting beginnings with introspective, often jazzy and philosophical songwriting. He first broke through with the mainstream success of Blue Slide Park and later became a self-produced auteur credited under the name Larry Fisherman, known for candid material that culminated in his final album Swimming.
