Talk About Lyrics

[Intro]
Yeah, track King Cole
Uh, uh
Ya boy Mac Miller, hey
Uh

[Chorus]
What type of music should I make?
It generates love and it generates hate (Hate)
What kind of topics should I stress?
I can talk about the money and the cars and the sex
Talk about life or talk about death
Livin' care free or I can talk about stress (Stress)
What kind of picture should I paint?
What type of music should I make? (Make)

[Verse 1]
So many things to say, not a lot of time that I can say 'em
I can talk about the fact that I'm a rappin' Caucasian
Talk about goin' to school and gettin' bad grades
Talk about breakin' the rules and havin' bad days
I could talk about girl problems
I could talk about the hoes from the ugly to the hot ones
Or I could talk about this dream I have
Or I could talk about my homies when I seen 'em last
Say I'm the illest on the mic, how I kill it when I write
Or how the lights when they film is so bright
I could talk about the fame and the hoes
Or all the name brands on my clothes
Talk about the highs, talk about the lows
Talk about the high that you gettin' when you smoke
I talk about a lot of shit when I write
'Cause it's part of my life
[Chorus]
What type of music should I make?
It generates love and it generates hate (Hate)
What kind of topics should I stress?
I can talk about the money and the cars and the sex
Talk about life or talk about death
Livin' care free or I can talk about stress (Stress)
What kind of picture should I paint?
What type of music should I make? (Make)

[Verse 2]
Look
I could talk about the parties that I go to
Talk about how it's so different from the old school

I could talk about the pop and the whack rap
Or I could talk about some ounces in the backpack
Talk about a fitted, talk about a snap back
Somethin' simple, or somethin' real abstract
About the war, talk about politics
Or I could tell you how full my Louis wallet is
I could talk about a few religions
Or how to turn a Jew into a Christian
I could talk about the shit that make you cry
Or I could make it all up and just talk about lies

[Chorus]
What type of music should I make?
It generates love and it generates hate (Hate)
What kind of topics should I stress?
I can talk about the money and the girls and the sex
Talk about life or talk about death
Livin' care free or I can talk about stress (Stress)
What kind of picture should I paint?
What type of music should I make? (Make)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
