Mac Miller - Live To Tell lyrics

Too fucked up to rap

Rollie on my wrist
A diamond ring right on my finger
They said,  "Stick to rappin',  boy
You ain't much of a singer"
But me, I don't give a fuck
'cause simply I'm too cool
Got a whole life I can live
Plus I just bought a pair of shoes
Funny, it's just magic
When my thoughts are so sporadic
And my mom thinks I'm an addict
Or it's messy up in my attic
Got people in my ear
Who's this speakin'? I don't hear
I'm too focused to be the dopest
Got my mansion with chandeliers
They thinkin' they all know you
And it's easy to break you down
There's so much they can show
You, here's the notes, just take 'em down
Everybody's watchin'
So be sure to make 'em proud
You can say you pissed off
You just can't say it too loud

Sometimes it's okay to stop and just say
"Fuck it all" fuck their expectations
I just need me a vacation
All these dumb public relations
Swear I'm runnin' out of patience
There's no more shit I'll be takin'
I'm just smilin' while you hatin'
Every cadence, every word
They analyze it and criticize it
"Someone else thought of that first, " well
I'm just tryna redefine it
They're all so narrow-minded, tell 'em
"Open up that mind"
'Cause what I make is timeless
And right now that's so hard to find

They thinkin' they all know you
And it's easy to break you down
There's so much they can show
You, here's the notes, just take 'em down
And everybody's watchin'
So be sure to make 'em proud
You can say you pissed off
You just can't say it too loud

Bankin' on me, waitin' for me to fall
My homies first, no doubt about it at all
The world's got evils
They wanna watch you fail
But, I'ma live to tell the tale oh well
