The Quest Lyrics by Mac Miller

Watching Movies with the Sound Off (10th Anniversary)

2023

[Intro]
Life
Life

[Verse 1]
I had a job, sold some drugs
Hatin' on me, I don't hold a grudge
High as fuck, rollin' up
You can't tell me shit, you don't know enough (You don't know enough)
Who the fuck are you?
Wanna tell me what I can and can't do (Can't do)
Spend a couple grand on a new tattoo (Tattoo)
Fuckin' these hoes, yeah, I do that too
But I (But I)
Be by your side when you cry (Cry)
We try to live in this lie (Lie)
Holidays that go by (By)
Let me drink, man is still dry (Still dry)
So I'm makin' these calls (Calls)
Keep my eyes to the sky (Sky)
You know I'm takin' it all (All)
Been knocked down, but I got up swingin'
Wide awake, my phone stay ringin' (Phone stay ringin')
In a daydream (Daydream)
In a daydream (In a daydream)
As we get higher
Fuck work, girl, let's get fired (Girl, let's get fired)
In the making (In the making)
I'm doin' great things
Ran around the motherfuckin' streets like a psycho
Hard to keep your balance when you're jumpin' on a tightrope (Tightrope)
Jumpin' on a tightrope (Rope)
If I fall, would you love me at all?
Wake up in the mornin' and fuck 'til tomorrow (Fuck 'til tomorrow)
I know it's lookin' strange (Lookin' strange)
But don't look away (Don't look away)

[Chorus]
Once (Once)
Upon (Upon)
A time (A time)
The world (The world)
Was soon (Was soon)
To be mine (To be mine)
I'm (I'm)
I'm nothin', man, I just am

[Verse 2]
Hate the lights, hate the camera
Ride around in that Panamera (Panamera)
Got A.P.C.s, no Levi's
I'm walkin' 'round with that peace sign
I see you there in your Carrera (Your Carrera)
You ridin' ill (Ridin' ill)
Got some time to kill (Got some time to kill)
Stop by and chill (Stop by and chill)
And we can talk about all the things you won't tell nobody (Nobody)
Your mind is filled (Your mind is filled)
With all kinds of pills (With all kinds of pills)
Girl, let's keep runnin', the end is coming
Told me that you afraid of decisions that you have made (Made)
You worry way too much (You worry way too much)
Shit just ain't the same when the world is filled with pain (Pain)
Will I hurt you if I touch? (Will I hurt you if I touch?)
I'll take it slow, don't need to rush
Fuck everybody, it'll just be us (Us)
Speedin' up, you try keepin' up
If you havin' trouble, please speak up (Please speak up)
When you're underwater, breathin' seem to be tough (Tough)
Come sleep with me, it's not Easy Street
I got dreams that we can discuss

[Interlude]
Life
Life

[Chorus]
Once (Once)
Upon (Upon)
A time (A time)
The world (The world)
Was soon (Was soon)
To be mine (To be mine)
I'm (I'm)
I'm nothin', man, I just am

[Outro]
So you be
And we good
