Mac Miller 100 Grandkids

Today in 2018, the hip-hop world was saddened by the shocking news of Mac Miller’s death at the age of 26. Several years later, the pain of loss still runs deep. It feels fitting to highlight one of the many standout songs of his impressive and varied catalog, which includes such beloved projects as K.I.D.S, Watching Movies With The Sound Off, Faces, and GOOD AM.

Speaking of the latter — GOOD AM is an interesting one, as it serves as a stylistic and thematic transition point for Mac. Though he’d later go on to tackle themes like love, relationships, and mental health on albums like The Divine Feminine and Swimming, many still look to his more rap-heavy era as his prime.

As such, “100 Grandkids” feels like a well-deserved victory lap, a hybrid of Mac’s multifaceted persona — the playful, aloof, and carefree youth and his more debaucherous, hedonistic, and willfully ignorant counterpart. Here, both sides are exemplified by a two-part musical shift, produced by the tandem of I.D. Labs and Sha Money XL.

Lyrics

[Part I]

[Intro]
Wh—oa (Hey)
Wow-wow-wow-wow-wow-wow-wow (Hello)
Wow-wow (This is a revolution)
Wow-wow, wh—oa
Woah-oh (Yo)
Wow-wow-wow-wow-wow-wow-wow
Wow-wow, wow-wow (As we proceed)
Wow-wow

[Chorus]
Yeah, I
Made a promise to my mama that I’ll bless her
With some grandkids, she can spoil ’em
Until then, I’m getting dollars, I’m just doing what I gotta
Can a man live? And it’s all day, homie
I’m a God, give the whole squad a job, get ’em all paid
Came a long way from all-state, yeah, now we All-American
(Salute me, shoot me) Shit, we All-American, yeah (Salute me, shoot me down)

[Verse]
I swear to God I put the hero in heroin (Dope), these flows kilos
I could sell snow to a ski slope
I could sell evil to the devil, nonbelievers to a temple
Shit, I could sell water to a speedboat
And these eyes is iconic
I went pro, made profit, now I keep some dead faces in my pocket
Gettin’ faded, I been stoned all week (All week)
But what’s a God without a little OD? Just a G
Twisting my weed, easing my mind
Why you worry about me? Stop tripping, I’m fine
Swear these bitches done lost it lately
You put the ho in honest baby, so complicated
And I may be a little arrogant, I’m aware of it
I know (Goddamn,) I know
I got a problem, I’ma take care of it, weight I’m carrying, gotta let it go
It won’t hold me down no more

[Chorus]
Made a promise to my mama that I’ll bless her
With some grandkids, she can spoil ’em
Until then, I’m getting dollars, I’m just doing what I gotta
Can a man live? And it’s all day, homie
I’m a God, give the whole squad a job, get ’em all paid
Came a long way from all-state, yeah, now we All-American
(Salute me, shoot me) Shit, we All-American
(Salute me, shoot me down)

[Post-Chorus]
We ain’t goin’
Nowhere, we ain’t
Goin’ nowhere, we can’t be
Stopped now, ’cause this rap shit’s for life
We ain’t goin’
Nowhere, we ain’t
Goin’ nowhere, we can’t be
Stopped now, ’cause this rap shit’s for life

[Bridge]
Back then I had a dream
I’d get this money, man
I know my life would change
Just need a hundred grand
Back then I had a dream
I’d get this money, man
I know, my life would change
Just need a hundred grand

[Segue]
Yeah
Back when I first made a hundred grand
Yeah, back when I first made a…
Yeah
Back when I first made a hundred grand
Yeah

[Part II]

[Chorus]
Yeah, back when I first made a hundred grand
Thought I was the shit (Oh, you the shit?)
When I first made a hundred grand
Thought I was a king (Oh, you a king?)
When I first made a hundred grand
Couldn’t tell me nuttin’ (I ain’t sayin’ nuttin’)
When I first made a hundred grand
Made a hundred grand (Let me get some money)

[Verse]
Yeah, okay
Back then they used to call me little
But now I’m ridin’ somethin’ clean in a coat made of armadillo
They haven’t got the memo, I’m sayin’ I’m the shit, though
Tryna make it complicated when this shit is simple (Simple)
Tell me what you wanna be, what your dreams is (What your dreams is)
A hundred G’s in my jeans, I’m a genius (I’m a genius)
Sin everyday, someone save me please
And get schooled, homie, change degrees (Uh-huh)
I’m the plug, what you need though? (What you need though?) I’m goin’ beast mode
I keep a freak, even when she underwater she can deep throat (Wait, what?)
I made a mill’ before I paid a bill (Okay)
‘Cause fools worried about a wave, I’m a Navy SEAL (Okay)
Come with me, I can make your life change for real (Woo)
Always had a dream of stuntin’, it ain’t nothing unless you runnin’ shit (Woo)
Just a young ma’fucker with a plan (With a plan)
Thought I was the man

[Chorus]
Yeah, back when I first made a hundred grand
Thought I was the shit (Oh, you the shit?)
When I first made a hundred grand
Thought I was a king (Oh, you a king?)
When I first made a hundred grand
Couldn’t tell me nuttin’ (I ain’t sayin’ nuttin’)
When I first made a hundred grand
Made a hundred grand (Let me get some money)

[Outro]
(Time flies) Let me get some money
Let me, let me get some money
(Yeah, you know time flies) Malcolm, can we go to mall?
I just need some shoes and my nails (Try to catch it) and then can we stop at Chipotle?
(Time flies) Let me get some money
(Yeah, you ever see the way time flies?) Let me, let me get some money
(Try to catch it) Let me get some money
Let me, let me get some money
