[Intro]
They wanna know why I do it?
It's actually pretty simple
Haha, look

[Verse 1]
I do it for the music
I do it for the love
I do it 'cause my purpose is way more than just because
I do it for the soul
I do it for the funk
I do it for the people who used say that I'm a punk
I do it for the haters
I do it for the fans
I do it for the people who helped make me who I am
I do it for everyone
The world, the water up to the sand
The quiet kid in your school who wanna just be the man
I do it because I can
I do it because I love it
There ain't a better feelin' than to know your feature's done it
'Cause now, this my job, this what I live for
Every day the best day ever, still tryna get more
So I never take a day off
Every single game, gotta treat it like a playoff

[Refrain]
Buckle up, we 'bout to take off
Heart and soul move us all
I just smile and remember what I do it for

[Chorus]
Everybody wanna know what you doin' and why you doin' it
We livin' life, so get used to it
You know just why I do it, you don't even gotta ask
It's bigger than the fame, boy, deeper than the cash
Everybody wanna know what you doin' and why you doin' it
We livin' life so get used to it
You know just why I do it, you don't even gotta ask
It's bigger than the fame, boy, deeper than the cash

[Verse 2]
I do it for the generation, all the kids who 'bout to grow up, run shit
Put our thumbs in the air and the blunt lit
Feelin' like I can do it in my sleep
But I'm workin', gettin' better, thinkin' 'bout what's out my reach
Hopin' that it's nothin' but I'm hopin' for discussion
How I crashed into the game and nobody seen me comin'
They saw a youngin who just love what he does
A brain behind the face and a heart behind the buzz
I keep it real, ain't got a reason to lie
Just mention me when your favorite MCs come to mind
I'll bless a rhyme if you give me the time
In Pittsburgh, I just want my whole city behind me
'Cause "We" is who I do this for
Soundtrack to life, this a movie score

[Refrain]
Buckle up, we 'bout to take off
Heart and soul move us all
I just smile and remember what I do it for

[Chorus]
Everybody wanna know what you doin' and why you doin' it
We livin' life, so get used to it
You know just why I do it, you don't even gotta ask
It's bigger than the fame, boy, deeper than the cash
Everybody wanna know what you doin' and why you doin' it
We livin' life, so get used to it
You know just why I do it, you don't even gotta ask
It's bigger than the fame, boy, deeper than the cash (Hey, hey)

[Verse 3]
Hey, third verse
Yeah, I do it, I ain't done yet
Do it for the crack of dawn and every time the sun set
You played all of your cards and got none left
I'm stayin' smart, strategic for what come next
Yeah, I'm ready for it, prepared heavy for it
That's why I do what I do and I ain't ever bored
If life a game, I got a better score
I guarantee you I'ma do this right here
I do this for the feelin' that you get when you hear the perfect beat
You know exactly what to say and all your homies holler, "Preach!"

[Refrain]
We 'bout to take off
Heart and soul move us all
I just smile and remember what I do it for

[Chorus]
Everybody wanna know what you doin' and why you doin' it
We livin' life, so get used to it
You know just why I do it, you don't even gotta ask
It's bigger than the fame, boy, deeper than the cash
Everybody wanna know what you doin' and why you doin' it
We livin' life, so get used to it
You know just why I do it, you don't even gotta ask
It's bigger than the fame, boy, deeper than the cash

[Outro]
Yeah
My thumb stay up
'Cause at the end of the day, I know why I do it
We do it to be happy
We do it 'cause it's all love, you know?
Don't be mad at me
Hey

Malcolm James McCormick (Jan. 19, 1992 – Sept. 7, 2018), who performed as Mac Miller, was an American rapper and producer from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Since releasing his first mixtape at just 15 years old, he became one of the leaders of the new school of young and highly talented “weirdos.”

Mac’s credibility in the rap game increased ten-fold and resulted in a slew of quality releases, including 2012’s Macadelic mixtape, his second studio album Watching Movies With The Sound Off, and his critically-acclaimed 2014 mixtape Faces.

He had multiple alter-egos, most notably his producer alias Larry Fisherman and his sick and twisted pitched-up persona (à la Quasimoto,) Delusional Thomas.
