[Intro: Big Daddy Kane & Mac Miller]
The Shogun
'Cause when it comes to bein' dope, hot damn
I got it good (Uh), now let me tell you who I am

[Chorus: Mac Miller]
If we could know where we was goin' to go
We'd probably never see tomorrow
So if I keep on makin' love to these songs
Then I'ma be good for the rest of my life (My life)
Hey, some people just don't want it
Ayy, whatever it is, whatever it is
But I think I got it
Ayy, whatever it is, whatever it is

[Verse 1: Mac Miller]
Ayy, whatever it is, they gettin' it straight
I'm too obsessed, too dedicated, never escape
I ain't scared, I'ma go in lookin' like I'm glowin'
Runnin' on beats, you show me your feet, if you ever be down to flowin'
Now I got a notion, I'ma put this into motion
Speedin' through the present tryin' to get there and coach them
Hopes the smoke man will be there soon
For now, the music up loud and the beat on smooth
I'm just rhymin', spittin' so efficient
Keepin' the tradition while seekin' to be different
Just dropped K.I.D.S., but I'm a man of many words
So had to do it big, but couldn't never stop the work
Now you heard my words, so your bubble gon' burst
Yeah, we on third, but say, "What up?" to the homies on first
If I can, I'ma kick it, rip it just 'cause I love it
Now they see me, ask me to spit it right out in public
[Chorus: Mac Miller]
If we could know where we was goin' to go
We'd probably never see tomorrow
So if I keep on makin' love to these songs
Then I'ma be good for the rest of my life (My life)
Hey, some people just don't want it
Ayy, whatever it is, whatever it is
But I think I got it
Ayy, whatever it is (Ayy), whatever it is

[Verse 2: Mac Miller]
Yo, rappers got time that they wastin' hatin'
When they could focus on they own grind, skatin'
They mad I got fans and they mad I got love
'Cause me and music fit like a glove, so snug
All you angry muhfuckers go and form a club
'Cause when you come around me, it ain't nothin' but love
I got girls givin' hugs, people dappin' me up
And you in the corner, like, "Ah man, Mac sucks"
Been a long grind and a little bit of luck
Feelin' blessed every day for the way I'm comin' up
I can promise you this, I ain't even close to done
Just pray to God that I'm safe when the soldiers come
They hear me, they forgettin' if I'm old or young
Got this music on lock, but I open up
All the time 'cause my bars and my rhymes be my lifestyle
Blowin' white clouds, I'm gettin' high right now
[Chorus: Mac Miller]
If we could know where we was goin' to go
We'd probably never see tomorrow
So if I keep on makin' love to these songs
Then I'ma be good for the rest of my life (My life)
Hey, some people just don't want it
Ayy, whatever it is, whatever it is
But I think I got it
Ayy, whatever it is, whatever it is

[Outro: Mac Miller]
Haha, it's Most Dope in the—
Blowin' smoke in a—
Keep my thumb held high
'Cause it's the Best Day Ever
Yeah, we gon' let it fade out like this
And let it fade out right like this, hey
