Mac Miller – Watching Movies Lyrics

Watching Movies was the second single made public prior to the release of Mac Miller’s sophomore album, Watching Movies with the Sound Off.

Exercising a level of self-aware narcissism that Mac had already parodied prior to its release, the eleventh track on this LP epitomised such arrogance in a manner not so tongue in cheek, contrasting divinity with the materialistic cliches exhibited by many other successful rappers in the music video that later accompanied it.

Watching Movies Lyrics by Mac Miller

[Intro]
Yo, all your bitches got the green boat
Yeah

[Refrain]
People worship these idols ’til they come in contact with Gods
Hoes is all my disciples, you get mind fucked with these broads (Goddamn)
Life is just a recital, better ‘member all that you practiced (Woah)
When I die, throw a couple bad bitches in my casket, woah

[Verse 1]
Think it’s time for a revolution, me and my dogs ’bout to start a riot
Still they sleepin’ but I’m eatin’, you and your people are on a diet
Tim Allen off Home Improvement, ‘telligent but we going stupid
This the new shit, hit the strip club, see some hoes that I went to school with
Out in London like Lennox Lewis (Woah) bitch lookin’ like Farrah Fawcett (Woah)
I’m just tryna make better music, get this money, share the profits (Let’s go)
Now this class gettin’ led by students, smoke some weed, get head while I do it
Started out under the ground, they didn’t fuck with me, now they all comin’ around
Money, I’m huntin’ it down, plantin’ the seeds, workin’ and watchin’ it grow
I got so many ways I can make money, I’ll always be straight, I just thought you should know

[Pre-Chorus]
Been on my grind, takin’ what’s mine, I got my eyes on the throne
I’ma be fine, no matter the time, we all go along with the show, yo

[Chorus]
That girl beautiful, somebody introduce me
She ain’t your girl tonight, nah, that bitch a groupie
There’s some money in the building, better give it to me (Let’s go, let’s go)
I see you starin’ at me like you in the movies
(Woah, woah) Yeah, now you watching movies
L—l—lookin’ at my life, it’s like you watchin’ movies
Lookin’ at my life, it’s like you watchin’ movies
L—l—lookin’ at my life, it’s like you watchin’ movies

[Refrain]
People worship these idols ’til they come in contact with Gods
Hoes is all my disciples, you get mind fucked with these broads (Goddamn)
Life is just a recital, better ‘member all that you practiced (Woah)
When I die, throw a couple bad bitches in my casket, woah

[Verse 2]
Fuck a day job, fuck a day job, got ya bitch here in just a tank top
Gettin’ paid, roll my face off, bitch you’re bank fraud: Bernie Madoff
Educate y’all then erase y’all, LL Cool J without the Kangol
I don’t see the need to stunt, wish you the best, I’ma just light up this blunt
This bitch love me long time, don’t know why she wouldn’t
Say my D could win the Heisman, yeah, I’m Charles Woodson
Couple million off a tour, thats a lot of bookings (Money)
My bitches gorgeous lookin’, imported from the shore to Brooklyn
Comin’ from out of the ‘Burgh, bitch, I’m absurd, fuck you, I hope you insured
Hatin’? I’ll give you just what you deserve, that’s my word, put it on all that I’m worth
[Pre-Chorus]
Been on my grind, takin’ what’s mine, I got my eyes on the throne
I’ma be fine, no matter the time, we all go along with the show, yo

[Chorus]
That girl beautiful, somebody introduce me (Whoop)
She ain’t your girl tonight, nah, that bitch a groupie (Woo)
There’s some money in the building, better give it to me
I see you starin’ at me like you in the movies
(Woah, woah) Yeah, now you watchin’ movies
L—l—lookin’ at my life, it’s like you watchin’ movies
Lookin’ at my life, it’s like you watchin’ movies
L—l—lookin’ at my life, it’s like you watchin’ movies
