Mac Miller — Story of Exodus

[Intro: Mac Miller] Yo, this one goes out to my boy [?] On that hip-hop shit Let's do it, Rec [Chorus: John Record & Mac Miller] Listen, what's the matter when you know it all? (What's the matter with ya?) You wanna pull a Shawshank freedom from your brain's wall So you tell a story, a story of exodus When you skip the pain, and looked up for happiness (Yeah, look, look, yo, look, yeah, yeah) [Verse 1: Mac Miller] First breath and I'm into this Earth The doctor knew it was spiritual, a miracle birth I learned to speak immediately, fiddle with words Get on my nerves, materials I didn't deserve And from the first time I could catch a breath I'd lay in bed, writin' poems on my Etch-A-Sketch I'd sеt my steps up, climbin', I was straight to the top An exodus, madе for the mic, and makin' it rock, yeah This hip-hop could be heard from six blocks I was raisin' the roof and just breakin' it off 'Cause before that I could ever walk or stand My mom was bustin' hip-hop through the sonogram So it seems only right to just bump it up Hit this dick of a planet with a nickel bag of funk, yeah A nickel bag of funk, a nickel bag of funk Hit this dick of a planet with just a nickel bag of funk [Chorus: John Record] What's the matter when you know it all? (What's the matter with ya?) You wanna pull the Shawshank freedom from your brain's wall So you tell a story, a story of exodus When you skip the pain, and looked up for happiness [Post-Chorus: John Record & Mac Miller] Start lookin' up Start lookin' up (Yeah, look, yo, yo) [Verse 2: Mac Miller] I'm lookin' up, my mind's above the clouds For those who run they mouth, they ain't know what I'm about What is now is the present, a gift, I'll leave it wrapped My days are passin', my words are overlappin' Hip-hop's a saga, get told with a lot a ganja We sparked the marijuana, breathe deep I'm not [?] God's offer [?] flowin' water Grow that shit, roll that shit, smoke that shit Saga continues, hip-hop is not an issue I ain't got a tissue I could give you, ain't nobody with you Battle mano a mano, no crowd, no audience I'm not convinced that you have the confidence to talk some shit I'm ominous, definition cadence, all-knowin' I'm always kickin' it, spittin' whatever you call flow I flow so much, my book erupts My days are gone, I continue lookin' up [Chorus: John Record] What's the matter when you know it all? (What's the matter with ya?) You wanna pull a Shawshank freedom from your brain's wall So you tell a story, a story of exodus When you skip the pain, and looked up for happiness [Post-Chorus: John Record] Start lookin' up Start lookin' up
