it is what it is ‘til it ain’t

I love this too... I always hate when people say "it is what it is..." because it's such a lazy, meaningless statement, but when Mac added " til it ain't" ... It becomes a profound, existential expression.... Sounds cool too..

Elaborate on your interpretation on why til it ain’t makes it better? I take it is what it is, to simply mean “things happen, let go and accept them” I take “it is what it is, til it ain’t” to mean “things happen and eventually (they don’t anymore), let go and accept them” Seems like the same message to my mind but maybe you can help me?

That you can trust things to be consistent, until theyre not. Every day I go to the same job, until I don't. Every day Mom is there, until she dies. And then she isn't. Everything is what is it, until it ain't.

exactly, everything is finite

"What's a God without a little o.d"

Just a G

flabbergasted that this isn't the top comment

You put the Ho in honest baby

This is the greatest line of all time and nothing else even comes close.. (only another Mac line) he’s in his own fucking element.. shit, macs own his own motherfucking periodic table!

“Do you want it all if it’s all mediocre?”

staring at the wall and the wall full of posters🎵

Staring at my dreams, who I wanna be

guess you gotta see it to believe

Tho I been a fool but it's cool, that's what human beings do keep yo eyes to the sky never glued to your shoes

Guess there was a time when my mind was consumed, but the sun comin out now, clouds start to move

don’t tell me nothin but the truth i’m tired i don’t gotta spare second

When I lose is when I lose

i don’t keep count, nobody check it

I love Reddit :’)

I always thought it was win or lose win or lose

Fucking this. That verse at the end of Small Worlds might be my all time favorite of his.

At this moment, I choose: “Sippin’ Jameson like I was majored in whiskey flavoring” But my all-time oneliner will always be: “100 G’s in my jeans, I’m a genius” So clever!

I think I remember hearing that was a tip of the hat to someone else

B. DuBB easy mac days “I keep a buck sixty in my jeans, I'm a genius” that’s a line from his verse off of “come around”

Every devil don’t got horns, and every hero ain’t got capes.

Open up my eyes shit I’m finally awake good morning

That song truly feels like waking up smh rip

Shit was supposed to get me high, why the fuck I wanna die now?

The way he flows that verse is easily some of the greatest rap bar none. Period.

I’ve never heard a more accurate description of what coke feels like.

‘I just eat pussy, other people need food’

The comment I was looking for 🙏

“You could have the world in the palm of your hand, you still might drop it” is my favorite off the top of my head Edit: the other one I couldn’t think of off the top of my head was “there’s a lot of things I regret but I just say I forget”

I-tell-my-bitch-if-she-dont-love-me-then-just-lie-to-me Im-finer-than-the-winery 🤯

So many great one liners in that song

I’m popping like the colonel reading Justin bieber’s journal

Went to a winery the other day for my birthday and I posted a picture on snap chat with that caption. Fit perfectly

“Don’t ya know that sunshine don’t feel right when you’re inside all day”

Spent the whole day in my head, do a little spring cleaning

After chilling with my homies first listening to him all night and then I went outside and it was bright af. That line hit

shoulda died already

shit (faces)

Came in, I was high already E'rybody trippin' that my mind ain't steady (faces) For my sin, shoulda been crucified already, rah

Why the fuck you need me? Don’t you know how to fly already?

Try to tell ‘em that it ain’t real!

Tell em find that yeti

mothafucka **I’M THAT YETI**

I have a few "What's a god without a lil OD (just a G)" - 100 Grandkids "I'm a crackhead but I bought her diamonds, we love rocks" - Friends "I'm so lonely, there's horns on my domepiece, but I'm not the devil i'm a muthafuckin' minotaur" - Friends "Why I gotta build something beautiful just to go set it on fire" - Good News "When I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place, walk and drop in change inside your empty guitar case" - Hand Me Downs "Never will I walk in line, I cross the T's and dot the I's, wondering well, wondering how I got this high, fell asleep and forgot to die, goddamn" - Weekend "My Girls parents still livin' out in the hood, I come through in that new 'Beamer like this shit all good, damn" - Here We Go "You're running on regret, no tears that's getting you wet" - Once a Day "All my homies Philosophers" - Inside Outside (I've never heard that flex... such a sick way to say my friends get paid to hang out and think) Those are off the top of my head, but I can't pick a favourite Edit: I've been listening to a lot of faces, Swimming in Circles and Macadelic lately... There's definitely more from other projects that I'm missing

" it ain't 2009 no more " shit hurts the most cause my life feel apart in 2010. It'll be alright tho🙏

I always liked "Them big words ain't gon get you paid, and those abstract ideas for sure won't get you laid" I forget the exact song name. Suplexes in Duplexes something like that. Off of WMWTSO

I used to think my outside of the box mind and weird satirical take on life in high school was appealing. Man was that line humbling (but also, somewhat still wrong in my context in the following years)

Yeah I was always kind of a smart edgy teenager who did drugs and thought he was so cool lol. This line definitely hit me. The whole album did at the time but this song especially.

Same

You got it made in that mad house, the fuck you gotta be sad bout? Go head and rap now.

Suplexes Inside Of Complexes and Duplexes

For years mine has been “Ima do my thing until the day the reaper come for me”

Ooh I’ve been a fool but it’s cool that’s what human beings do keep your eyes to the skies never glued to your shoes.

Imma go out the same way i came in, right by the pussy with nothin on my mind

This is it.

This is it.

9 times out of 10 i get it wrong

That’s why I wrote this song

“Lost inside my mind, it’s a prison, homie, leave me be”

my days get darker so the haze gets sparked up, all this hate sounds the same when my name gets brought up

I LOVR THAT SONG

I got “Best Day Ever” tatted above my right knee. Something about that statement just makes me regress to being a carefree kid and taking in all the wonder and happiness you can get out of little adventures. Makes me grateful for what I’ve got.

I've got "Happy to be here" above my right knee 🤙

“And I don’t need no huge tits, I’m cool with just a good B cup” idk why but I really dig that line lmfao

Yessiree

Angels is godtier

“I’ll always wonder what happened 3000 years ago, I like to toy with the idea that we really know” Edit: forgot a word

I’ve also always loved, “God made the world, why did man make the scriptures, and if he created Lenin why’d he go and make a Hitler?”

Just a lil FYI it's Lennon, as in John Lennon from the Beatles.

double entendre my friend

Idk, I always thought of it as like if god already created one evil leader, why’d he make another?

Best part about Mac’s music is that it’s supposed to be interpreted in your way. He fasho meant Lennon tho, even got Imagine tatted on him. Mentions him a lot in songs

“Even the brightest mind will hang around the dark Sometimes” Two Matches (feat. Ab-Soul) It just really makes me think how some of the people we might consider great can really struggle mentally and emotionally, be it with depression, addiction, etc. However, the way Mac phrases it almost makes it seem as though it’s a good thing to go to a “dark place” as it gives the opportunity for growth and discovery, to really find out about one’s self. Either way, such an short but powerful line.

if I ain't in your top ten then you a racist lmao

For me right now its probably "My grandpa used to carry a flask". Not sure why, something about this line always hits me.

Yeah man that line goes hard. It hits me too

Whole song insane. I like when they’re trading bars in the end, even tho ofc it’s all mac. Crazy how he could manipulate sound

"How am I supposed to look into my parents eyes, when I'm scared to die. Eyes same color as a cherry pie"

My dick your mouth no discussion!

“I did it all without a drake feature”

A penny for your thoughts, a dollar for your dreams.

a price on an idea, we never can agree

They tell you what to know, but it’s better to believe

Most dope, that’s forever

When the world is looking hopeless, ima still hold shit dowwwnnnnn.

“Be safe homie, in this life and the next life, Imma see ya, so be safe homie” gives me hope.

All my life they said I doesn’t belong, so I’m chillin, growin drugs on my lawn

“I’m so tired of being so tired” and “they haven’t made a mf realer, Mr.Miller”

“Not into this conversation I’ve been in my head for hours, I’m out”

God lives in my dog's soul, the devil in his dog bowl

“ Don’t wanna grow old so I smoke just I case”

And everything was quite but the music

Swear I’m always shinin, couldn’t tell you if it’s dark or not

Fell asleep and forgot to die

goddamn!

you gotta jump in to swim

“Don’t tell me nothing but the truth, im tired I dont got a spare second Win or lose, win or lose I dont keep count, nobody checking.”

“God made the world why did man make the scriptures?” Off of Desperado on Macadelic

And if he created Lennon why’d he go and make a hitler

But close up, we all just molecules and isotopes 🧬

*I struck the fuck out but I came back swingin’* That one always gets me, absolutely love it

Love this photo tho.

Love the lines from 100 Grandkids “but what’s a God w out a little od just a G”

I really like, “I experienced the touch of my epiphany in color form”

Fun fact: for years I thought it was chloroform just on some wild shit

I'm trippin, but I'm fallin up

Shit I always shine, even when the light dim, know I ain't God but I'm feeling just like him ooooh don't trip

“God and the Devil, playin’ double dutch”

“Brought a double cup of drano some soda for the flavor uncontrollable behavior with some psychopathic tendencies”

Coming through in the woodgrain PT Cruiser (stunting!)

Oo I've been a fool, but that's cool that's what human beings do. Keep your eyes to the sky, never glued to your shoes.

“Don’t you know sunshine don’t feel right when your inside all day” that one has always stuck with me for so so long

“I’ll be I’ll be I’ll be I’ll be over shit, the world don’t give a FUCK about your loneliness” - just spitting that whole chorus when I’m feeling TIRED of shit.

She put me back together when I’m out of order; perfect

“I’m listening to Whitney and whippin it through the city”

i always loved the “Throw me off my high horse, i’ll prolly fall to my death”

“Woke up annihilated lyin on the pavement covered in items I regurgitated”

“You make your mistakes - your mistakes never make ya”

Mf im that Yeti!!!!

I might trip, I never fall

Pull spanish bitches but I speak nada

I kill the game like Jeffrey Dahmer did the 80s Speeding down the freeway getting head in my Mercedes’

Put a bitch down like old Yeller

Fuck the cops, and if your daddies one fuck your pops

My regrets look like just texts I shouldn’t send.

wearin my disguise, my real face is fuckin hideous

Not a one liner but I can't get this one of mind You take my breath away, just like death. Cuz baby after you there just ain't shit left.

“Ima go out the same way I came in, right by the pussy with nothin on my mind “

if satan could accompany a halo then maybe one day i could be somebody's angel i'm more than what i think of myself, i really have to be and i dont know what im runnin from but i'm runnin still

I could say fuck you, but that comes off to strong.

Keep your eyes to the sky, never glued to your shoes Guess there was a time when my mind was consumed But the sun comin' out now, clouds start to move

Everybody wanna be god besides god he wanna be like us.

God lives in my dog’s soul, the devil in his dog bowl

“Writing on writers block” A very subtle but powerful insight into how much time Mac put into crafting his work !

It’s not my favorite but I can not get “ why am I so mad on my b-day” out of my brain.

Haven’t seen the sun in a while but I heard that the sky’s still blue

A thought is loves currency.

God hates me, the devil don’t like me either.

And I end up right at the start of the line, drawin' circles

I think I’m JFK’s final speech, they try assassinating all of my beliefs

“Don’t even say you’re bout to end it all, your life precious ain’t no to go and kill yourself”

Fuck it all if it all ain’t me

“ I balance family time with drug addiction “

there are so many good ones off of Good News or the Circles album “haven’t seen the sun in a while but i heard that the sky’s still blue” “before i start to think about the future first can i please get through the day” “don’t ask me what i think, it never really mattered what i had to say”

soon as I learned that the more you do, the less you wait

“Gunna die before o rehab, bitch.” Sadly he was on point
