Machine Gun Kelly’s foray into pop punk has been well-received by fans of the artist, however, the broader public and even the pop punk community aren’t all that impressed. Some believe he is simply doing to pop punk, what he did to hip-hop, and as a result, “culture vulture” accusations are abundant. Regardless, MGK marches forward as today, he dropped a new album called Mainstream Sellout.
While the project is mostly laced with rock songs and power chords, MGK took a more hip-hop approach on the song “die in california” which features Gunna, Young Thug, and Travis Barker’s son, Landon Barker. The track is filled with melancholic guitar plucking all while the lyrics have your typical content from these artists, all with a more depressing twist. Overall, it is what you would expect a mix of emo punk and rap to sound like.
Machine Gun Kelly – die in california (ft. Gunna, Young Thug & Landon Barker) (prod. Ljay Currie & Travis Barker)
[Chorus: Machine Gun Kelly]
Killed the me I used to be
I might die in California
In my mind, I had a dream
Saw a demon on my shoulder
Yeah, I know, I should probably let it go (Let it go)
Yeah, I know, I might die in California, die in California, mmm
[Verse 1: Machine Gun Kelly]
Ayy, someone cut the lights off please
I’ve been kinda sad lately
I know that I’m good for you (Yeah)
But you kinda bad, baby (Mm)
We’re just doin’ love chants, brewin’ up the potion
I had a premonition I was overdosin’ (So)
Someone cut the lights off please
I don’t want you to look at me
I paint my nails black
If I ever look happy then it’s an act
Every day is an anxiety attack
I wish I could take it back
To when I was drinkin’ water out the tap
With the Cleveland logo printed on my hat
Tell me, was it my fear of bein’ complacent
That ended up leavin’ me so jaded?
I’m miserable even though I made it
Got a house in the Hills and I fuckin’ hate it (Ayy)
[Chorus: Landon Barker]
Killed the me I used to be
I might die in California
In my mind, I had a dream
Saw a demon on my shoulder
Yeah, I know, I should probably let it go (Let it go)
Yeah, I know, I might die in California, die in California
[Verse 2: Gunna]
They gon’ be missin’ me
It’s gon’ be chaos when it come down to my royalties
I keep it still, I miss the exit, that’s by any means (Woah)
Watch out for opps, watch out for cops, they kill for anything
I got on Prada shoes and Prada tee (Yes)
I love my brother, rest in peace, I know you’re proud of me
I’m pourin’ mud up, tryna stay away from Billie Jean
On all these opens, everybody say I’m hardly sleep
And I got demons on my shoulder, heart gettin’ colder, I’m so cold
Keep me a heater, that’s my toaster
In my coat, you would never know
Streets don’t love you, I don’t either
I don’t need ya, no-no-no
I pray on my knees and I stay strong
Take care of my family, I don’ wan’ die alone
[Chorus: Landon Barker, Young Thug]
Killed the me I used to be
I might die in California
In my mind, I had a dream
Saw a demon on my shoulder
Yeah, I know, I should probably let it go (Let it go)
Yeah, I know, I might die in California (Yeah), die in California
[Verse 3: Young Thug]
All this bread make her spit up
When I did, ayy, look, I made you sit up
I don’t talk to a pillow
I don’t walk, Rolls Royce Truck
Tell the old ladies that her baby’s goin’ sad (Ah)
I told that bitch I been a service for the rap (Grrah, grrah)
I can take the jets to Seattle without the scan
I can shoot this bitch like a veteran with the size (Grrah, grrah)
911 Porsche came gray like granny
Now I’m in L.A., I done OD’d on twenty xannies
Slime, I see my baby smile, wah-wah
She tryna kiss it while we ride (Mwah)
We ’bout to fuck around and die (Fuck around and die)
Even in the Hills, got eyes (Eyes)
Now she tryna hire another spy
[Chorus: Landon Barker, Machine Gun Kelly & Both]
Killed the me that I used to be (Yeah)
I might die in California
In my mind, I had a dream
Saw a demon on my shoulder
Yeah, I know, I should probably let it go (Let it go)
Yeah, I know, I might die in California, die in California, mmm
