#GOOD AM MAC MILLER LISTEN FOR MAC#

He expresses things like вЂњEverybody say I need rehab, Cause IвЂ™m speedinвЂ™ with a blindfold on and wonвЂ™t be long, вЂtil they watching me crash and they donвЂ™t wanna see that, They donвЂ™t want me to OD and have to talk to my mother, Telling her they could have done more to help me and sheвЂ™ll be crying saying that sheвЂ™ll do anything to have me backвЂ¦вЂќ. In the whole second half of the song Mac writes a confession-like letter to his loved ones and his girlfriend. This is macвЂ™s way of saying that he has matured and is past all of the drugs, money and random women he had been dealing with. You can hear this when he says вЂњI moved up from a private to a sergeant, you can see it from a scarfaceвЂќ.

Throughout the song, Mac points out that heвЂ™s better than his addiction. Towards the end of the album, Mac lays down the track titled вЂњPerfect Circle/GodspeedвЂќ. This positive change leads Mac into the last part of his album.

When I listen to these songs I like to think of it as the phase of realization for Mac and I also connect with this part of his album and the whole idea of realizing bad habits and fixing them before they destroy you. These set of songs (Time Flies, Weekend, Clubhouse, In The bag and Break The Law) all show the switch in the state of mind that Mac had. You can see this comedic outlook multiple times in the song, especially when he says вЂњWhen I was younger, I was just a little wild -, Tryna be like all the people on the television.вЂќ and вЂњYour mom work an extra job just to get you Jordans, Just so you can show up at your school looking fresh saying вЂњI donвЂ™t know вЂbout you, but me? IвЂ™m importantвЂќ Shows that Mac is mocking people who exhibit this behavior and how heвЂ™s growing an increasing disdain for it. This song actually makes fun of the lifestyle that Mac is trying to move away from in a dark, comedic tone. The next song on the album after вЂњWeekendвЂќ is вЂњIn The BagвЂќ. All of these lines are said in a remorseful tone as he is starting to see that heвЂ™s been messing up lately. Mac drops the bars вЂњI got a system filled up with toxinsвЂ¦вЂќ, вЂњGetting high to deal with my problemsвЂќ and вЂњbut I be good by the weekendвЂќ. In this song Mac expresses his realization that the lifestyle he is leading is turning him into a bad person. Later on in the album we get to the song вЂњWeekendвЂќ. In my mind IвЂ™ve split up this album into 3 parts and these first few songs (Doors, Brand Name, Rush Hour, Two Matches and 100 Grand Kids) I would describe as MacвЂ™s reckless stage.

I also love the production of these few songs too, especially вЂњDoorsвЂќ which was produced by Tyler The Creator who is also one of my favorite artists of all time. I really love the lyrics and I relate to most of them. Over the next few songs Mac boasts this lifestyle. He drops lines like вЂњIвЂ™m too high, you canвЂ™t reach me with the cell phone, No goodbyes, No hellosвЂќ, вЂњYou donвЂ™t want this life I live, YouвЂ™d rather have a wife and kids.вЂќ and вЂњвЂ¦To everyone who sell me drugs, DonвЂ™t mix it with that -вЂ“, IвЂ™m hoping not to join the twenty seven club.вЂќ All these lines, especially the last shows that Mac believes he is on top of the world and is riding his highs unconcerned about the consequences. He expresses this decision a lot more throughout the song. His expression of this state of mind shows that he is deciding to embrace the wild lifestyle and accepting the clear end result of it. He begins his verse with the lines вЂњWe inbetween heaven and hell, - a 9 to 5, IвЂ™d rather end up dead or in jailвЂќ. This idea leads him into the next song, вЂњBrand NameвЂќ. This line shows that he is also deciding to forget about forgiveness at the moment and do what he wants while heвЂ™s still alive. Later in the song he says вЂњвЂ¦These doors will close, and people change.вЂќ. From this you can hear his conflicting points of views. In the song, He drops the line вЂњвЂ¦DidnвЂ™t mean to cause you pain, I just needed to escape, AinвЂ™t saying that IвЂ™m sober, IвЂ™m just in a better placeвЂ¦вЂќ. As mentioned earlier, Mac is an addict and in this song he sounds as if he is trying to find a balance between asking for forgiveness from his loved ones and rationalizing his addiction. Starting off, Mac Miller sets вЂњDoorsвЂќ as the first track.
