[Hook] When I get old I'm a be real cool Sittin' on the porch with a fresh pair of shoes Whole bunch of stories for the neighborhood kids Tell 'em to believe, they be makin' it big And I know That life is nothing easy (nothing easy) One day, I'm a change the world And they’ll finally believe me
[Verse 1: Mac Miller] From the outside looking in it seems that I’m fine But they don’t know shit about the everyday grind Time is money, money is time They tell me get there at five but I’m runnin' behind I try and live a little go and have a little fun You only young once so all the hatin' that be dumb If life a joke then I'm waitin' for the pun You all about the beef but me, I’m 'bout the bun, the bread Cause I was just a little knucklehead Now I got my shit together spittin' what they fuckin' with If they ain’t it’s great no intention to the hate Nothing changed still cutting up, Henny’s still my drink I’m still the same old dude now makin' moves It’s like everything I do front page news I ain’t playin' in this game to lose I want it all no secret the change they can keep it

[Verse 2: Mac Miller] (Hey) My grandpa told me one day I’ll be everything and more It’s better never to question every lesson that’s in store See it’s a blessin' that I’m gettin' through the door The money gonna fall, when it rain, it pour Dear music, you’re everything I have now When there’s an army commin' for me I won’t back down Cause I never was a kid in the background Just a class clown but who’s laughing now My moms cried when she saw me in a cap and gown It feels great to see my family proud, but I make mistakes too My people always tell me Mac Please don’t ever let the fame change you They say I’m so different, but it ain’t true Still got the same girl, roll with the same crew I’m just doing what it takes for me to make do And everyone around me gettin' paid too
