[Intro]
Ooh- Ooh- Ooh- Ooh- Ooh
(Uhuh)
(Uhuh)
(Yeah)
[Verse: Mac Miller]
Yeah, okay, it don't stop 'til I say so
Got this shit on lock just like I'm calling from pay phone, they know
Pray to God I don't break before I plant a seed and watch it grow to a flower that I can put in a vase
You see that look on my face, it's no jokes
It's hard to see it clear here with so much smoke
And Pop said I'm gon' go broke if I don't fix myself
I said I'd rather kill myself, oh well
Hello, hello, live here from Melrose
It's divine in the nick of time, self loathing? Hell no
Turn on your speakers and silence your cellphones
Cause you 'bout to witness the best in the business
Only fuck with myself, though, I swear the bullshit is up to my elbows
So, take that, take that, your bitch ass gon' need a Six Flags day pass to ride like this
You gon' need to fly fish to catch a vibe like this, cause you ain't never getting high like this
You better choose the right fix
Cause when I shoot I might miss, but when we hoop it's like swish
I'm in the coop doin' loops drivin' really nice whips
Hold the game in tight fists, like back at night Spliffs
All day and night shifts, I know they really like this (Woah)
You can't see me anymore, playin' on advanced it ain't easy anymore (No way)
Only real ones is walking on my floors, you can bet we checking cards at the door, yeah
[Chorus: Both Mac Miller & Ariana Grande]
There's no time like the present, no God, might be steppin' over, I don't wanna change
Not even for a second, I'm the type before you know it, say I wanna run away
I don't wanna be a news boy, doubtin'
I've gotta keep it dancin'
Yeah, if I'm sleepin' usually in the Maldives
All I see is clouds everytime I look through
[Post Chorus: Mac Miller & Ariana Grande]
Woah-oh (Woah-oh)
Woah-oh (Woah-oh)
Woah-oh (Woah-oh)
Woah-ooh (Woah-ooh)
Woah-oh (Woah-oh)

Woah-ah (Woah-ah)
