Mac Miller – The Star Room Lyrics

Introducing his second studio album with an introspective track produced by Earl Sweatshirt (who produced a good portion of the tracks featured on Watching Movies with The Sound Off), Mac Miller directly addresses his issues with hedonism and his perception of a higher power.

Paradoxical whilst addressing his inability to commit to action, “The Star Room” sets the tone for the rest of the album. Ironically enough, the first track featured on this LP was the final one to be accompanied by a music video.

Marking the introduction of Mac Miller’s horror-core alter-ego; Delusional Thomas, this single articulated a level of internal conflict beyond that of anything featured within the Macadelic mix-tape.

The Star Room Lyrics by Mac Miller

[Intro: Delusional Thomas]
Hallelujah, thank God I have a future
Prayin’ I don’t waste it gettin’ faded
‘Cause I’m smokin’ **** until I’m coughin’ up tar
Feel the surge, energy curve like a lumbar
I don’t act hard, I still read Babar
Trippin’ out, lookin’ at a bunch of Google map stars
Shit, they got a app for that

[Verse 1: Mac Miller]
But me, I’m still trapped inside my head
It kinda feel like it’s a purgatory
So polite and white, but I got family who would murder for me
Think I’m livin’ paradise, so what I have to worry ’bout?
Dealin’ with these demons, feel the pressure, find the perfect style (Perfect style)
Makin’ sure my mom and dad are still somewhat in love
All these backfires of my experiments with drugs
And I experience a touch of my epiphany in color form
Difference between love and war inform me, I’m above the norm (Above the norm)
Give me anybody though, I’ll gladly chew his face off, them bath salts
Rhymin’ like it’s summertime on asphalt, hot
Haven’t picked a major label, think I’m blackballed
I still don’t got the heart to pick my phone up when my dad calls
Will he recognize his son when he hears my voice?
I put this music ‘gainst my life, I think I fear the choice
And I don’t know what I’m runnin’ from, but I’m runnin’ still
I conversate with acquaintances, but it’s nothin’ real
I’m from a city that you hear and think a bunch of steel
So a hundred mills wouldn’t make me sign a fuckin’ deal (Fuckin’ deal)
Money kills, that’s the truth, it’s called the root of evil
But I want that Rolls-Royce that the homie Lennon drove
So, if you don’t talk about some money, I’ma send you home
Unconventional, special but unprofessional
Adolescent expression that’s lettin’ me meet these centerfolds
As troubles fill my mind capacity, I let ’em go (Let ’em go)
If I was Johnny Depp in Blow, I would let it snow (Would let it slow)
That’s just me all wildin’ out and bein’ extra though (Extra though)
Yeah

[Verse 2: Mac Miller]
And if God was a human, it’d be yours truly
Watchin’ horror movies with some foreign groupies
Thinkin’ this decor suits me (This decor suits me)
I do drugs, get more loopy
I’m in tune to ancient jiu-jitsu spirituals, it’s blissful (It’s blissful)
Lookin’ out as far as eyes can see
I’m glad that me and this elevation could finally meet (Could finally meet)
I think I’m JFK’s final speech
They try assassinatin’ all of my beliefs
(But I’m asleep) So whisper to me for the peace of mind
And he be high, some weed to grind on top a Jesus shrine (Shrine)
Twenty thousand on my watch ’cause I needed time
If y’all would leave me the fuck alone, that’d be divine (Be divine)
Yeah, can’t decide if you like all the fame
Three years ago to now, it’s just not the same (Not the same)
I’m lookin’ out my window, ashin’ on the pane (Ashin’ on the pane)
Shit, wonder if I lost my way (Lost my way)

[Verse 3: Delusional Thomas]
Yeah, don’t you ever wanna hide away? (Hide away)
Poseidon triumph in the eyes of rain
Won’t give a fuck about tomorrow if I die today (Die today)
I’ll greet the devil with a smilin’ face (Smilin’ face)
Shit, that God fellow may reside in space
As, times are wastin’, I’m freebasin’ with Freemasons
My girl’s switchin’ the locks, the keys keep changin’ (Keep changin’)
Dreamin’ of places, my own personal creations
If there’s a party in Heaven I plan to leave wasted (Leave wasted)
Retracin’ my steps way back to Biblical times
We-we all gon’ end up meetin’ at the finishin’ line
[Outro: Mac Miller]
And these words that I command you today shall be in your heart
And you shall teach them diligently to your children
And you shall speak of them when you sit at home
And when you walk along the way, and when you lie down
And when you rise up, I am the lord, your god
