Perfect Circle / God Speed
Mac Miller Lyrics

Murder, murder, murder, what would you do?
Have you ever had to hurt her? Just for something to do
Can you draw a perfect circle?
Lot of lies cover the truth, you got options, what do you do?
I wash these pills down with liquor and fall
Leave it to me, I do enough for us all (I do)
Got what you need if you like breaking the law
My mother raised me a God (Hey)
(Fuck you)

Yeah, blame the drugs, got me sinning on the weekday
Drunk as fuck, doing buck sixty on the freeway
Giving y'all the freebase, hidden in the middle of a briefcase
Hidden in a subwoofer, beat case
Used to wanna know how a freak taste
Now I'm in it in an instant like replay
Bra's a baton, pass it off like relay
Why I'm so mad on my B-Day?
She say "I thought you got sober"
And I say "I wish you'd stop being a bitch
And get to minding your business"
Told me "Money has changed you"
I get to thinking, how rarely do I visit?
How'd I get so egotistical? I'm a Buffalo Soldier
Heaven is a mile away, the trouble, much closer
I'm only twenty-three but my mind is older, and it'll forever be
Dead presidents to the homies, death to my enemies

Murder, murder, murder, what would you do?
Have you ever had to hurt her? Just for something to do
Can you draw a perfect circle?
Lot of lies cover the truth, you got options, what do you do?
I wash these pills down with liquor and fall
Leave it to me, I do enough for us all
Got what you need if you like breaking the law
My mother raised me a God (Hey)
(Fuck you)

A goddess told me "good morning" when I woke up
(Fuck you)
You know I had a good morning when I woke up
(Fuck you)
Gotta thank God every morning then I woke up
(Fuck you)
Would you remember me if I never woke up?
Bye bye (Fuck you)
I am a sinner, I'm just tryna sin
Warm in the winter, and I'll be on my way
I'm just a drifter, in endless seas of whispers
I just need some shelter, give me shelter from the wind

Oh yeah, I thought I'd have it figured out by now
Shit would be simple, problems would be in the past right now
Me and the homies would be sitting on millions
Reminiscing when we were so broke and living in Oakland just chillin'
I thought I'd have it in the bag by now
I thought that we'd be kicking back by now
I know that life is a bitch, I know that life is a bitch
I thought we'd put her in a cab by now
But I'm stressing, I can't relax
I swallow my pride and I'm higher than what's making me mad
Everybody say I need rehab
Cause I'm speedin' with a blindfold on and won't be long 'til they watching me crash
And they don't wanna see that
They don't want me to OD and have to talk to my mother
Telling her they could have done more to help me
And she'll be crying saying that she'll do anything to have me back
All the nights I'm losing sleep, it was all a dream
There was a time that I believed that
But white lines be numbing them dark times
Them pills that I'm popping, I need to man up
It's a problem, I need a wake up
Before one morning I don't wake up
You make your mistakes, your mistakes never make ya
I'm too obsessed with going down as a great one
And if you wait too long, they go find someone to replace ya
So I guess this is a letter, to all my brothers, Most Dope, that's forever
I love you more than words could express
And this the part that Q start crying, if he ain't already yet
I did my best to be a leader you respect
At times I became weaker, got defeated by regret
So tell my baby I love her
And if she give me time I'll put a seed inside her, make her a mother
Just know that there's a place
Where all my people free and everybody straight
Every devil don't got horns, and every hero ain't got capes

Opened up my eyes, shit, I'm finally awake, Good morning
Yeah, good morning

In Mac Miller's song Perfect Circle/God Speed, he starts off aggressively by saying that he came for whoever is in charge, advising them to get themselves a weapon and guard. He then references how everyone is sleeping on him and that he is going around setting off alarms at door to door locations. He goes on to talk about how he has moved up in rank from Private to Sargent, and he mentions his scars. He then references his bizarre ways, talking about his newfound wealth and the need for a new car garage. The chorus has him questioning what one would do in case they had to hurt someone, and asking if they could draw a perfect circle. He talks about how the truth is often covered up by lies and that everyone has options; he himself selects washing pills down with liquor and falling but for others, there might be different paths to follow.

The second verse talks about Mac Miller's everyday life, how he blames drugs for his sins, and how one of his friends thought that sobriety had changed him. He mentions how life is tricky and unpredictable, and how he thought he would have figured out what he wanted in life by now. He speaks about his mistakes and how he is too obsessed with becoming a great one. He then talks about how he loves his brothers from Most Dope, and that there is a place where everyone is free, and every devil does not have horns, and every hero does not have a cape. The song ends with Mac Miller opening his eyes and realizing he is now awake.

I came for whoever is in charge
I am here to confront and challenge the person responsible for the current state of affairs

I suggest you go and get yourself a weapon and a guard
I advise you to protect yourself because I am about to initiate a conflict

They need some coffee, everybody's sleeping on me
People need to wake up and recognize my talent and potential because they are currently overlooking me

Going around door to door, setting off alarms
I am causing disruption and gaining attention as I metaphorically knock on doors and trigger alarm systems

All that horse shit, you should have left it at the barn
All the unnecessary and false information should have been disregarded and not brought into the situation

Keep a stallion, tell her gallop to the store and get cigars, yeah
I have a powerful and attractive woman by my side who can quickly go to the store and bring back some cigars

Too many whips, gotta get a new garage made
I own too many luxury cars and need to build a new garage to accommodate them

I might steal one just to drive it in a car chase
I might consider stealing a car just for the thrill of being involved in a police pursuit

Me and my bizarre ways (no emergency)
Me and my unconventional and peculiar behavior are not causing any immediate danger or concern

I moved up from a Private to a Sargent
I have progressed and advanced in my career or personal journey from a lower rank to a higher one

You can see it in the scar face
The scars on my face serve as visible proof of the challenges and obstacles I have overcome

Hidden in a dark place, swimming in the shark tank
I am hiding in a dangerous and ruthless environment, surrounded by ruthless individuals

Give a bitch a little bit of change, she a game in an arcade
If I give a woman some money, she will be eager to impress and entertain me like a game in an arcade

(Time crisis) Not a second to lose
There is no time to waste, as every moment is crucial and urgent

I'm the motherfuckin' Bible, that's forever the truth
I am the ultimate authority and source of truth that stands the test of time, just like the Bible

And this is not another case of the celebrity blues
My struggles and challenges are not simply a result of fame and celebrity status

The devil with me and he tell me to shoot
I have negative influences and temptations with me, encouraging me to engage in destructive behavior

Murder, murder, murder, what would you do?
If faced with a situation involving violence and harm, how would you react and what action would you take?

Have you ever had to hurt her? Just for something to do
Have you ever been compelled to harm someone simply out of boredom or a desire for excitement?

Can you draw a perfect circle?
Can you achieve perfection or do something flawlessly?

Lot of lies cover the truth, you got options, what do you do?
There are many falsehoods hiding the truth, so what choices will you make in order to reach the truth?

I wash these pills down with liquor and fall
I consume pills and alcohol together, leading to intoxication and a subsequent loss of consciousness

Leave it to me, I do enough for us all (I do)
Leave the responsibility to me, as I am capable of handling and accomplishing enough for everyone involved

Got what you need if you like breaking the law
I possess the necessary resources or connections if you have a preference for engaging in illegal activities

My mother raised me a God (Hey)
My mother raised me to have a strong sense of self and confidence, treating me as if I am invincible

Yeah, blame the drugs, got me sinning on the weekday
Yes, attribute my sinful behavior to the influence of drugs, as they have caused me to engage in negative actions even on regular weekdays

Drunk as fuck, doing buck sixty on the freeway
Intoxicated to a significant degree, driving at a high speed of 160 miles per hour on the freeway

Giving y'all the freebase, hidden in the middle of a briefcase
Providing all of you with freebase cocaine, which is concealed within a briefcase

Hidden in a subwoofer, beat case
Hide the drugs within a subwoofer speaker to avoid detection and prosecution

Used to wanna know how a freak taste
In the past, I was curious to experience the physical and intimate pleasures of being with a sexually adventurous person

Now I'm in it in an instant like replay
Now I am actively and immediately participating in those experiences, repeating them like a replay of a memorable moment

Bra's a baton, pass it off like relay
A woman's bra serves as a symbol of authority and power, as I receive it and then pass it on like a relay race

Why I'm so mad on my B-Day?
Why am I feeling angry or frustrated on my birthday?

She say 'I thought you got sober'
She expresses surprise and disappointment because she believed I had successfully overcome my addiction and become sober

And I say 'I wish you'd stop being a bitch and get to minding your business'
In response, I express my frustration and urge her to stop being excessively concerned with my affairs and instead focus on herself

Told me 'Money has changed you'
She claimed that I have been significantly influenced and transformed by wealth or financial success

I get to thinking, how rarely do I visit?
These comments lead me to reflect on how infrequently I visit certain people or places

How'd I get so egotistical? I'm a Buffalo Soldier
I question how I became so self-centered and egotistic, but I also recognize that I am a tough and resilient individual

Heaven is a mile away, the trouble, much closer
Achieving a state of bliss and contentment feels distant and difficult to attain, while challenges and conflicts are always close by

I'm only twenty-three but my mind is older, and it'll forever be
Although I am young, I possess a mature and wise mindset, which will remain with me for eternity

Dead presidents to the homies, death to my enemies
I use money and resources to support and help my friends, but I desire the downfall and destruction of my enemies

A goddess told me 'good morning' when I woke up
A beautiful and divine woman greeted me with a pleasant 'good morning' as I woke up

You know I had a good morning when I woke up
I can confirm that my morning was delightful and positive based on the way I woke up

Gotta thank God every morning then I woke up
I express my gratitude and appreciation to God every morning as soon as I wake up

Would you remember me if I never woke up?
If I were to die in my sleep, would you remember and cherish the memories we shared?

Bye bye
A casual expression indicating farewell or the end of a conversation

I am a sinner, I'm just tryna sin
I openly admit that I am not perfect and I am attempting to engage in sinful behavior

Warm in the winter, and I'll be on my way
I am seeking comfort and pleasure during the winter season and then I will continue my journey or path

I'm just a drifter, in endless seas of whispers
I am a wanderer and traveler, constantly surrounded by rumors and gossip, unable to settle in one place

I just need some shelter, give me shelter from the wind
I simply require a place of refuge and protection, shielding me from the harsh and unfavorable circumstances

Oh yeah, I thought I'd have it figured out by now
Oh yes, I believed that by now I would have everything figured out and understand how life works

Shit would be simple, problems would be in the past right now
Life would be easy and uncomplicated, with all my problems resolved and left behind in the past

Me and the homies would be sitting on millions
My friends and I would be incredibly wealthy, enjoying the fruits of our labor

Reminiscing when we were so broke and living in Oakland just chillin'
Reflecting on the times when we were financially struggling and living in Oakland, but still managing to find enjoyment and relaxation

I thought I'd have it in the bag by now
I expected to have achieved my goals and aspirations by this point

I thought that we'd be kicking back by now
I believed that by now we would be able to relax and enjoy the rewards of our hard work

I know that life is a bitch, I know that life is a bitch
I am aware that life can be challenging and difficult

I thought we'd put her in a cab by now
I expected to have overcome and left behind life's challenges and difficulties by this point

But I'm stressing, I can't relax
However, I am currently feeling overwhelmed and unable to find peace or relaxation

I swallow my pride and I'm higher than what's making me mad
I suppress my ego and consume substances to escape or numb the things that are causing me anger

Everybody say I need rehab
Many people believe that I should seek rehabilitation or treatment for my addictions and destructive behavior

Cause I'm speedin' with a blindfold on and won't be long 'til they watching me crash
Because I am recklessly moving forward without considering the consequences, it won't be long until people witness my imminent downfall or failure

And they don't wanna see that
Those people do not want to witness my downfall or face the reality of my self-destructive behavior

They don't want me to OD and have to talk to my mother
They do not want me to overdose on drugs and force them to have difficult conversations with my mother

Telling her they could have done more to help me
Explaining to my mother that they could have taken more actions to assist or support me

And she'll be crying saying that she'll do anything to have me back
My mother will be devastated and express her willingness to do whatever it takes to have me back alive

All the nights I'm losing sleep, it was all a dream
During all the sleepless nights, the reality of my life felt like an unattainable dream

There was a time that I believed that
There existed a period when I genuinely held that belief or hope

But white lines be numbing them dark times
The consumption of cocaine temporarily dulls or numbs the difficult and painful moments in my life

Them pills that I'm popping, I need to man up
The drugs I am taking, specifically the pills, serve as a way to cope with my problems and I need to face them like a mature adult

It's a problem, I need a wake up
My reliance on drugs is an issue and I require a wake-up call to address and overcome it

Before one morning I don't wake up
Before the unfortunate event of one morning when I do not wake up at all

You make your mistakes, your mistakes never make ya
You have the ability to learn and grow from your mistakes, and they should not define or control you

I'm too obsessed with going down as a great one
I am excessively fixated on leaving a legacy and being remembered as an influential and legendary figure

And if you wait too long, they go find someone to replace ya
If you hesitate or delay in achieving greatness, others will step in and take your place or surpass you

So I guess this is a letter, to all my brothers, Most Dope, that's forever
Therefore, I consider this message as a letter addressed to my close friends and companions, the Most Dope crew, expressing that our bond will last eternally

I love you more than words could express
I have an immense and indescribable love for all of you, surpassing any verbal expression

And this the part that Q start crying, if he ain't already yet
This specific section of the letter would most likely make my friend Q cry, if he hasn't already

I did my best to be a leader you respect
I have exerted maximum effort to serve as a leader and earn your respect

At times I became weaker, got defeated by regret
However, there were instances when I faltered and became vulnerable, succumbing to feelings of remorse

So tell my baby I love her
Please convey my message of love to my significant other

And if she give me time I'll put a seed inside her, make her a mother
If she allows me the opportunity, I will impregnate her and make her a mother

Just know that there's a place
Just be aware that there exists a realm or state

Where all my people free and everybody straight
In this place, all of my friends and loved ones are liberated and well taken care of

Every devil don't got horns, and every hero ain't got capes
Not all evil individuals possess obvious signs of their malicious intent, and not all heroes possess superhero costumes or disguises

Opened up my eyes, shit, I'm finally awake, Good morning
Suddenly, I have gained a new perspective and am fully conscious and aware, saying 'good morning' to signify the beginning of a new chapter or phase

Yeah, good morning
A reaffirmation of the previous statement, emphasizing the sense of awakening and starting anew
