What’s The Use (Live at NPR’s Tiny Desk) lyrics
by Mac Miller
[Intro: Mac Miller]
Yeah
[Chorus: Mac Miller, Thundercat]
Yeah, you can love it, you can leave it
They say you're nothin' without it
Don't let them keep you down (Oh)
What if I don't need it?
There's somethin' about it
That just freaks me out (Oh)
I just want another minute wit' it, f*ck a little
What's the use?, yeah
Never superficial, you gon' know it when it hit you
Get a little sentimental when I'm off the juice, yeah (Mmm)
[Verse 1: Mac Miller]
Okay, we're colder than the breeze
But the breeze ain't flowin' like me, motherf*cker, hol' up
You don't need to hol' up, yeah
And I can show you how I seem
What it is, what it truly might be, nothin' that you know of
You don't need to hol' up
I'm so a-bove and beyond
You take drugs to make it up way up where we on
Space shuttle, Elon
Time, we don't waste much, f*ck when we wake up
Then I have her sing just like Céline Dion
Catch me if you can but, you'll never catch me, damn
Whole lotta, "Yes, I am"
All the way in wit' no exit plan
Already left and the jet don't land
Yeah, the time is tickin', come take a ride, get inside
This is highly different, I'm talkin' fly, got a pilot wit' 'im, uh
Can I mind my business?
Why you trippin'? Give you somethin' that your eyes can witness
Ooh, you're too close
I don't understand why you doin' the most
[Chorus: Mac Miller, Thundercat]
You can love it, you can leave it
They say you're nothin' without it
Don't let them keep you down
What if I don't need it?
There's somethin' about it
And that just freaks me out, yeah
I just want a 'nother minute wit' it
f*ck a little, what's the use?, yeah
What's the use?, yeah
Never superficial
You gon' know it when it hit you
Get a little sentimental when I'm off the juice, yeah, yeah (Oh)
[Verse 2: Mac Miller]
Well, I'ma give you what you came for, yeah
sh*t, I've worked too hard to have a clue who you are
Set the bar so far above par, we can parlay all day
Crib long range with the yard
I know I should probably pray more but you gotta love me
'Cause I save the day, spend money
When I had nothin', sh*t, it wasn't so funny
Made a promise to the homies nobody go hungry
Look how far we came, still they throwin' dirt on my name
But it never worry my brain
Heads turnin' like a hurricane swervin'
Tell the sun, "Get up outta my shade"
If they don't get the picture, cut 'em outta that frame, sh*t
I'm up thirty thou' miles plus change
It's been a while but I'm down 'til I'm out
And it is what it is 'til it ain't, yeah
[Bridge: Thundercat]
Ooh-ooh, I just wanna fly
Thank you
[Chorus: Mac Miller]
You can love it, you can leave it
They say you're nothin' without it
Don't let them keep you down
What if I don't need it?
There's somethin' about it
And that just freaks me out, yeah, yeah, yeah
I just want a 'nother minute wit' it
f*ck a little, what's the use?, yeah
What's the use?, yeah
Never superficial
You gon' know it when it hit you
Get a little sentimental when I'm off the juice, yeah, yeah
