Follow me I could show you where we be's at How'd I get my g-pass? None of your fuckin' beeswax These raps bring a joint together like a kneecap Fuck the little 8 balls, show me where the ki's at The time continuum, Mortal Kombat finish 'em Tryna find a balance, reachin' from my equilibrium Fools I pity 'em, I'm not a human I'm amphibian, fake superhero like the Mystery Men I ain't saving nothin' I'm gettin' faded 'til the angels comin', skippin' all the famous functions How do the famous function? The A-list can't be trusted I strong-arm 'em like I play the trumpet

Rhyme Scheme

Dense compound scheme pivoting from long-e/short-a stops (/iː-æ/) into an extended five-syllable Latinate assonance matrix (/ɪljəm/, /ɪniəm/), layered over a long-A internal assonance chain and a lax-u nasal/stop resolution.

Producer Notes

Mac Miller constructs a cadential masterclass by anchoring stanzas around compound long-e/short-a cadences (/iː-æ/) before launching into a five-syllable '-ium' assonance sequence ('continuum' / 'finish 'em' / 'equilibrium' / 'pity 'em'). He overlays this with an internal Long-A assonance chain ('saving' / 'faded' / 'angels' / 'famous') and executes a identical-phrase pivot ('famous functions' to 'famous function') that transitions internal rhymes into line-ending stops.
