Mac Miller The Question

Critics may have written off Mac Miller earlier in his career but he proved every single one of them wrong with a string of mixtapes that followed Blue Side Park. The late rapper buckled down as a producer and continued to showcase his lyrical prowess every time he stepped to the mic but one might consider Macadelic a key component in shifting the narrative around his name.

Wednesday marked the 10-year anniversary of the mixtape’s release. In honor of the milestone, we brought back one of the strongest cuts off of the project, “The Question.” Mac Miller tagged with Lil Wayne on the melancholic record, where the two address existential questions as Mac’s voice echoes, “What am I doin’ here” on the song’s hook. Mac divulges as a “hostage in my own world” at a point in his career where he faced immense scrutiny from fans, haters, and critics. Meanwhile, Weezy is stuck in Wayne’s World with a stream-of-conscious flow where he reflects on death, life, and the value of time.

Lyrics

[Intro: Mac Miller]
Sometimes I wonder who the fuck I am
Sometimes I wonder who the fuck I am
Uh
Yeah (Want you to feel it)
Man, my voice probably sounds mad raspy right now
(I want you all to feel it) Yeah
So step up on the mic and, uh
Show ’em what you got, tiger
A’ight, look

[Verse 1: Mac Miller]
Uh, sometimes I wonder who the fuck I am
So I’ve been lookin’ in the mirror and it still don’t make no sense
I’m askin’, “What am I supposed to do?”
Done so much in my short lifetime, but I haven’t done shit
I done flew around the whole world
First I shook a million hands, then I took a million pictures
But I’m a hostage in my own world
Yeah, my thoughts my own enemy, got no time for these bitches
I got too much on my damn mind
So if I add some more stress, I just don’t see how I’ma cope
I think they underestimate the grind
I do to bring this dough, and I’m only 20 years old
I wonder why I sip this devil juice, ’cause it feel incredible

[Refrain: Mac Miller]
Problems, I got several
Thank God that none of that medical
Uh, I’ve been blessed with, much to be expected

[Chorus: Mac Miller]
What am I doing here?
I wonder what am I doing here
What am I doing here? (Uh)
What am I doing here?

[Verse 2: Mac Miller]
I hope this feelin’ last for fuckin’ ever
I don’t wanna come back down, let me stay above the ground
I hope I do what I was meant to do
‘Cause I’ve been searchin’ for that answer, I just hope I get it now
Please, let me find euphoria
When you up above the clouds, like, “Who gon’ touch me now?”
And do we ever get to know the truth?
‘Cause everybody seems to have it, but to me it seems they lack it
Now I’m rollin’ and I’m sippin’ lean
Sometimes I catch a buzz just to help me picture love
Drinkin’ liquor and I’m smokin’ weed
And you don’t ever do too much if you could never do enough
Wonder why it’s me instead of you, I’ll be there to rescue you

[Refrain: Mac Miller]
Problems, you got several
Thank God that none of that medical
Uh, I’ve been blessed with, much to be expected

[Chorus: Mac Miller]
What am I doing here?
I wonder what am I doing here
What am I doing here?
What am I doing here?

[Verse 3: Lil Wayne]
Uh, sittin’ in my Bentley, thinkin’ ’bout these hoes
All I do is kill ’em, I kill ’em like Nicole
Simpson, flag crimson, smoke ’em like Winstons
I just bought a new chopper, I treat it like an infant
I’m lightin’ up a stogie, it’s longer than a hoagie
Situation’s gettin’ fishy and I don’t eat anchovies
Fuck the world, kill ’em all, she answer when I call
If the cops pull us over, she gon’ hide it in her drawers
See, I come from a place where stars never shine
And drama is accepted, credit cards are declined
Everybody gotta die, but I ain’t everybody
If that ho play with me, I whoop that chick like Terrence Howard
I’m a pimp, I ain’t lyin’, but that is not important
I’m just tryna buy time, but can’t really afford it
Sayin’ ain’t that a bitch, but I hope that bitch is bad
I feel like money in the trash, like…

[Chorus: Mac Miller & Lil Wayne]
What am I doing here? (Whoa)
I wonder what am I doing here (Yeah… Young Mula, baby)
What am I doing here?
What am I doing here?
