Yeah (ooh)
You can love it, you can leave it
They say you're nothin' without it
Don't let them keep you down (ooh)
What if I don't need it?
There's somethin' about it
That just freaks me out (ooh)
I just want another minute wit' it, fuck a little
What's the use? (Ooh)
Never superficial, you gon' know it when it hit you
Get a little sentimental when I'm off the juice (ooh), yeah
Yeah, okay, we're colder than the breeze
But the breeze ain't flowin' like me, motherfucker, hold up
You don't need to hold up
Yeah, and I can show you how I seem, what it is
What it truly might be, nothin' that you know of
You don't need to hold up
I'm so above and beyond, you take drugs to make it up
Way up where we on, space shuttle, Elon
Time, we don't waste much, fuck when we wake up
Then I have her sing just like Céline Dion
Catch me if you can, but you'll never catch me
Damn, whole lot a, "Yes, I am"
All the way in with no exit plan, already left
And the jet don't land
Yeah, the time is tickin', come take a ride, get inside
This is highly different, I'm talkin' fly, got a pilot wit' 'em, uh
Can I mind my business?
Why you trippin'? Give you somethin' that your eyes could witness
Ooh, you too close
I don't understand why you doin' the most (ooh-ah, ooh)
You can love it, you can leave it
They say you're nothin' without it
Don't let them keep you down (ooh)
What if I don't need it?
There's somethin' about it
That just freaks me out (ooh)
And I just (I just) want (want) another ('nother) minute (minute) wit' it
Fuck a little (little), what's the use? (What's the use? Ooh)
Never (never) super- (super-) 'ficial ('ficial)
You gon' (you gon') know it (know it) when it (when it) hit you (hit you)
Get a (get a) little (little) senti- (senti-) 'mental ('mental)
When I'm off the juice (turn it up)
Well, I'ma give you what you came for, yeah
Shit, I've worked too hard to have a clue who you are
Set the bar so far above par, we could parlay all day
Crib long range with the yard
I know I should probably pray more, but you gotta love me
'Cause I save the day, spend money
When I had nothin', shit, it wasn't so funny
Made a promise to the homies, nobody go hungry
Look how far we came, still they throwin' dirt on my name
But it never worry my brain
Heads turnin' like a hurricane swervin'
Tell the sun, "Get up outta my shade"
If they don't get the picture, cut 'em outta that frame, shit
I'm up 30 thou' miles plus change
It's been a while, but I'm down 'til I'm out
And it is what it is 'til it ain't, yeah
Ooh-ah, up above the clouds
I just wanna fly
Ah-ha
You can love it, you can leave it
They say you're nothin' without it
Don't let them keep you down (ooh)
What if I don't need it?
There's somethin' about it
That just freaks me out (ooh)
And I just (I just) want (want) another ('nother) minute (minute) wit' it
Fuck a little (little), what's the use? (What's the use? Ooh)
Never (never) super- (super-) 'ficial ('ficial)
You gon' (you gon') know it (know it) when it (when it) hit you (hit you)
Get a (get a) little (little) senti- (senti-) 'mental ('mental)
When I'm off the juice (juice, ooh)
You can love it
It just freaks me out

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.
