Mac Miller - Apparition Lyrics






I've been rappin' since the apparition
G-g-god was gonna kill me and I'm glad he didn't
Might have made a bad decision
He just left me with an ocean and a bad religion
While Mary Magdalene laughin', smokin' a pack of Winstons
Up on a church hill, acid trippin' with older men
As they tell her stories, she's seducin' them
But she's only usin' them
My studio is filled with spirits
And every single lyric dedicated to my dearest friends
Yeah, and lord knows that we hate the questions
So back and forth, exchange faces over why I'm playin' table tennis at dinner
I end up so bitter when I lose
Defeat hurts, I got scissors in my shoes

And I'm dancin'
Never got the steps right
Loose, I never slept tight
But I'ma keep dancin'

I did a cannonball off the deep end, my boat was comin' to America
Pouch of fairy dust and a little poodle terrier
A silver Derringer, a smile for the camera
Split your line up like James Farrior
I've always been a cowboy, they need me like the cancer cure
Weed loud as crowd noise, we just let the amber burn
Wiffle Balls, child's toys, ain't fuckin' with amateurs
I'm Ken Griffey on the Mariners
Okay I'm way beyond the boundaries, outside of parameters
The rap chancellor, jacket made of camel fur
And Clockwork got every single answer 'cept time
I've experienced every feelin' except fine
I'm line dancin' again

    "Never got the steps right, loose i never slept tight but ima keep dancing" Had the best and worst weed trips on this song. But all in all it was a reflection of my true nature. And i will never forget that life can be both a curse and a beauty. Mac knew there is many faces to life as is seen through his music. He taught me balance and i will never forget that, thank you Mac 🙏🙏🙏

  11. M.... ....

    I'll never forget how it felt to listen to this art on acid. It was years ago but is still such a prominent memory. I was sitting by a pond listening to music. This song came on and I just laid down in the grass, closed my eyes, and melted.

    ASSSS THEY TELL A STORY SHE SEDUCIN EMMM BUT SHE ONLY USIN EMMM

  23. C.... F....

    The end of the song, where the beat changes up, got me fucked up while I was on acid. Like this mixtape is fucking surreal when you're tripping balls man. If you want to see some amazing shit, take 2 tabs and listen to this mixtape while you're peaking, itll change your fucking life.

    C.... F....

    Caleb Fell I feel like it would just make you depressed on l and cause a bad trip?

    C.... F....

    It wasnt a bad trip.. i was awestruck the way I could see into his emotions, like he was standing right in front of me, telling me this message personally. It was powerful.. really fucking powerful

  24. S.... W....

    I was gonna kill me and I’m glad he didn’t, might have made a bad decision

  25. X.... _....

    dang i miss mac 😭

  26. S.... T....

    Really underrated song from him, I mean this whole mixtape is really underrated and 3-6 of his songs on here are (personally) the best songs on here. Wish this wasn't a mixtape so it can be on spotify

  27. H.... A....

    Oh yea yea

  28. o.... ....

    5 years man. a lot has changed.....

    l.... ....

    liamisic911 this whole mixtape got metaphors and bars for days

    Defeat ( “da feet”) hurts, I got scissors in my shoes n I’m dancin
    That’s my favorite the way he says it you don’t even notice it

  49. M.... J....

    MACADELIC live on FOREVER 2018”-to beyond

  50. B.... D....

    I’m ngl when I heard funeral I was preparing myself for his death idk why

    B.... D....

    Funny thing is...BECAUSE he dropped an album like this which articulated such honesty about his drug problem, I thought he'd eventually get sober and continue to amaze us even more...however after his passing, I realized one thing; he could've been anywhere in the world at anytime bathing in Hennessey with model chicks, yet he died alone from a apparently drug induced heart attack. Why? Because it's not all about money. Even if we get rich or whatever, we still must live with ourselves. Many artistic geniuses have suffered the same fate. My guess is they feel so alone, like there's nothing left to experience on this Earth, so the next experience is DEATH (or drugs, or both). Think about that. We are 4 dimensional beings in a 3 dimensional world

  51. C.... B....

    Love you mac

  52. A.... ....

    The beginning what he says is backwards. I wonder what it is

    A.... ....

    AllDopedUp13 I’ve thought the same thing

    A.... ....

    He says "that baseline though"

    A.... ....

    "turn the beat up a little bit"

  53. A.... ....

    Someone tell me why macs greatest album that showed his true feelings only has 200k views?

    A.... ....

    Simplicity Ur so right. This album is a masterpiece, from the lyrics to the beats. This is my favorite mixtape/album Mac ever made. I also love Delusional Thomas. That’s his real raw crazy shit that comes to his mind that he was able to put out there so he could get away wit it b/c of the way he did it. Genius. The beats on that album are ridiculously sick as well, I love those beats

    A.... ....

    It’s better that way..

    A.... ....

    The truth hurts most people ignore & keep dancing

    A.... ....

    It will be YEARS until this masterpiece is widely appreciated, if ever.

  54. G.... C....

    Don't know if you guys have done ketamine but the begging of this song sounds like a convo on that stuff when you're fuckedddd

  55. j.... m....

    One of my favorites❤️🖤

  56. 7.... f....

    I feel like this was around the time mac was hanging around earl sweatshirt some of the beats in faces sound very influenced by Earl's dark beats

    7.... f....

    719Gas from THEslumZ
    Earl produced on the album. Mac went by Larry Fisherman. Earl went by Thatrandomblackguy

  57. D.... M....

    This will always be one of my favorites. Miss you Mac😭

  58. L.... S....

    i miss you brother..

    L.... S....

    Lake Steeze I have been trying to get ahold of you to offer a free moment but I will be there any chance you could come here and we can take it from there. You are the only person I know who's a good boy for a new place to live and I really like you too much to let you know that we are going to be in the same place. So what is it that we can do that I have not yet received a call from there to share with someone else and I really have no idea what is going on with someone who has to be able to get ahold of the guy who did the new one is it or anything else you need from me to get ahold of you to think of me and my beautiful wife and beautiful and sexy and beautiful girl in the same place as last time that we could have been there to help with someone else I should need to be easier if you r I have been trying to get ahold of course we

    sad comment now

    O.... G....

    Fuck man im tearing up, i remember reading this comment and liking it.

    O.... G....

    AllDopedUp13 I don’t know brother. This mixtape is absolutely amazing and high up on my list. But I just think Good A.M. was honestly his best work. Mainly due to the fact that you started to see what he was like while getting sober. Completely evolved him as an artist. Then unfortunately his relapse came not too long after. RIP Mac

  80. K.... O....

    Now being sober and listening to this whole project, it's a masterpiece actually being able to comphrend what's said understanding at its finest not just listening

    K.... O....

    Keegan Obrien idk bout that homie this more of a be fucked up type tape cus it's state he in wen he wrote it

    K.... O....

    Sean Huesman totally agree this mixtape with couple tabs of CID 👌👌

    K.... O....

    Sobriety is this best high---coming from an alcoholic. Hope I don't go the way Mac went, pls pray for me, even if you don't believe in God.

  81. D.... 8....

    This song so fucking legendary 🤦🏾‍♂️

  82. R.... ....

    Music not for everyone.

    R.... ....

    RZV May not be for everyone but it is for me haha

  83. B.... M....

    ive experienced every feeling except fine. im line dancing again

  84. B.... M....

    I did a cannon ball off the deep end

    B.... M....

    My vote was coming to America

    B.... M....

    @R.w. Johns I think it's "my boat was coming to America", a metaphor to Eddie Murphy's 'Coming to America'

    B.... M....

    A pouch of fairy dust, and a little poodle terrier

  85. C.... B....

    Im bout to drop a faces like beat mixtape on my IG @chxsebank dropping very soon give me a follow and shoot me a dm ill preview some to you

    P.... I....

    someone knows there music. 10 points to Griffindoor

  87. P.... E....

    I’m zooted rn but this song is spiritual

    P.... E....

    @R M maybe where you live but it originated in London to mean high af

    P.... E....

    Seymour Thompson LoL what

    P.... E....

    Zooted just means high af

    P.... E....

    R M Nah bro

    P.... E....

    @R M I'd say zooted is a word for being fucked up.. On anything

  88. G.... t....

    Alright, whoever sees this comment look up this song in rap genius.....jesus christ the way he put the whole religion shit together is fucking genius. This is why i fuck with hip-hop. It is NOT dead. Idc what anyone says, as long as we got players like mac, kendrick, em is still there, tde crew, j.cole, and idc mgk spits #Cleveland. Also i do fuck with A$AP mob and others. Just saying, listen to everybody dies by J.cole. Perfect words for these wack ass rappers nowadays

    G.... t....

    Goku the Goat he's a lyrical genius

    G.... t....

    Bro you named the most generic mainstream lyricists lmao. Like c'mon, hip hop is vast and there's enough to go around for everyone's tastes.

    G.... t....

    You are out of your damn mind I was talking about mainstream people who can actually rap like TDE crew which Ab-Soul is in and he kills it Schoolboy Kendrick J Cole don't even get me started

    G.... t....

    +Goku the Goat ever heard of a-f-r-o? listened to him? RA the rugged man? locksmith? jarv?

    G.... t....

    Dude I fuck wit Cole but this album the one you need to be spreading. if wmwtso is his his sgt epper this is his white album.

  89. G.... t....

    I wonder what he says backwards in the very beginning of the song...ima get on this

    G.... t....

    Yeah we need updates on the part when he said ".....was gonna kill but I'm glad he didn't"
    I must know before I die

    G.... t....

    I did a little research and, based off of what I found, I believe he said "g-g-g God was gonna kill me and I'm glad he didn't" simply because he soon followed up with "up on a CHRUCH Hill acid trippin with older men" and even before that he said "he just left me with an ocean and a bad RELIGION" (my guess symbolizing Mosses (rhymes with ocean) parting the waves to escape Pharoah, with God's help of course. But that's just my interpretation. Could've been anything since we have no official source to claim. But it takes one to know one, humbly stated. Cheers

    G.... t....

    Savior Coda On the Delusional Thomas mixtape on the 1st song he says “tell God the world he gifted me is full of misery”. I love that album, that’s him goin straight hardcore sayin all the worst things he could come up wit, it’s so great lol The beats are so sick on that entire album as well

    G.... t....

    He says can you turn the bass up a little bit, nevermind it’s cool, keep going

    G.... t....

    AllDopedUp13 bro you should listen to the version where it’s just his normal voice on the delusional Thomas mixtape its pretty trippy
