Lyrics
Yeah
Expression of affirmation or agreement
My town raised me, I'm still here wavy
My hometown shaped who I am; I'm still maintaining my unique style
Never got rich so the money can't make me
Wealth hasn't changed my values or motivations
My boys were my boys a decade ago
My friends have been constant for years; I won't pretend to be something I'm not
So I could never put a front on like y'all
My authenticity is known to those close to me; checking if the microphone is working
They know me, is my mic on
Disregard for others' lack of ambition; referencing a struggle to make ends meet through music
Fuck your lack of motivation
Rejecting superficial, commercial rap; seeking genuine connection
You ain't never had to rap to keep the lights on
Personal, meaningful lyrics over fame-driven music
Shit real to me, all your popcorn rap don't appeal to me
His music resonates with reality; not interested in artificial, flashy rap
I got loyalty in my squadron, I got royalties on the way
Strong loyalty to his close group; expecting future success
RIP Mac, I'm white-boy awesome
Tribute to Mac Miller; confident in his skills despite critics
Give a goddamn what a critic gotta say, don't gotta play the game
Doesn't conform to industry expectations; true to himself
Came up in a small town, why the hell would I politic now
Originated in a small town and avoids political games in the music industry
Do one of my people dirty then we got beef
Firm stance against mistreating friends; consistent principles
Was a problem with me then, it's a problem with me now
Past issues remain unresolved; stands by his beliefs
I don't ever gotta think about whether it would be better
Confident in his current position; feels desirable to others
To peace it up because I know I got what they want
Others want what he has; they pretend due to their motives
And they got a reason to front
They have reasons to pretend; he sees through their facades
Never needed them but they needed us, needed us
Independence from them; they relied on him, not vice versa
I know it's a pleasure to be meetin' us
Aware of the positive impact he has on others
They want it off the record when they beg
They prefer off-record dealings but avoid investing
For me to be on the record but they never put up any bread
Willing to confront challenges or conflicts for his beliefs
Catch a body on anybody's head
Metaphorically "catching bodies" lyrically; confident in his skills
When it comes to 16s, I don't need nobody, this shit is dead
Confident in his ability to succeed without relying on others
RIP, fuck y'all if you change up
Disdain for those who change their loyalty or values
Y'all got rap friends, y'all got famous
Comparison: His genuine friendships vs. others' connections for fame
I got back end, I got day-ones
His focus on long-term success rather than immediate popularity
I'm still good in the city I came from
Respected and supported in his hometown
Who got your back when the chips low, who
Who supports you in tough times?
Who shotgun when the whip slow, who
Who sits beside you during slow progress?
Who been with you from get-go
Who's been there from the start?
When shit pop off, my boys already down
His close friends are always there when trouble arises
Already, already, already, already down
Reiteration of the chorus emphasizing loyalty and support from his inner circle
Already, already, already, already down
-Already, already, already, already down
-Already down
-I don't gotta ask if they with it, they with it
-I been winnin' and my foot ain't even been on gas in a minute
-Vroom-vroom, I'm done cruising
-Long as I'm in the game, y'all not done losing
-The real dyin' and y'all keep lyin
-Y'all can't be me but y'all keep tryin
-Only see me when you close your eyelids
-When you wake up, I don't ever see iris
-Back to the mission, we got a lot on the plate still
-Y'all got too many cooks in the kitchen to make meals
-Y'all do a lot of bitchin' for someone to take deals
-I put in overtime on this shit just to pay bills
-This not glamorous
-Real life's not lived for the cameras
-Real-life got lit when my brothers came with
-I be on the grind and they on the same shit
-RIP, fuck y'all if you change up
-Y'all got rap friends, y'all got famous
-I got back end, I got day-ones
-I'm still good in the city I came from
-Who got your back when the chips low, who
-Who shotgun when the whip slow, who
-Who been with you from get-go
-When shit pop off, my boys already down
-Already, already, already, already down
-Already, already, already, already down
-Already, already, already, already down
-Already down
-RIP, fuck y'all if you change up
-Y'all got rap friends, y'all got famous
-I got back end, I got day-ones
-I'm still good in the city I came from
-Who got your back when the chips low, who
-Who shotgun when the whip slow, who
-Who been with you from get-go
-When shit pop off, my boys already down
-Already, already, already, already down
-Already, already, already, already down
-Already, already, already, already down
-Already down
