[Intro: Mac Miller]
They wanna know why I do it? (Evil Empire)
It's actually pretty simple
Haha, look

[Verse 1: Mac Miller]
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 still say that I'm a punk
I do it for the haters, I do it for the fans (Ayy, Woogie)
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 you'll feed your stomach
'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: Mac Miller]
Buckle up, we 'bout to take off
Heart and soul move us all
I just smile and remember what I do it for

[Chorus: Mac Miller]
Everybody wanna know what you doin' and why you doin' it
We livin' life, so get used to it (Ayy, Woogie)
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: Mac Miller]
I do it for the generation, all the kids who 'bout to grow and 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 open for discussion
Now I crashed into the game and nobody seen me comin', uh
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 MC's 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: Mac Miller]
Buckle up, we 'bout to take off
Heart and soul move us all
I just smile and remember what I do it for

[Chorus: Mac Miller]
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: Mac Miller]
A 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: Mac Miller]
We 'bout to take off
Heart and soul move us all
I just smile and remember what I do it for

[Chorus: Mac Miller]
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: Mac Miller]
Ayy, Woogie
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
