About This Track

Mac Miller, with Josh Berg, navigates a landscape of self-destruction and philosophical drift. The track opens with a refrain that sets its emotional register: a repeated acknowledgment of mortality and the expectation of it. Miller moves through contradictions, claiming independence whilst admitting the desire for connection, adopting a tone that oscillates between defiance and confession. The song's central image, "on the inside, I'm outside all the time", captures a fractured state of being. Miller describes a mind that others perceive as unstable, a life lived in excess, a posture of detachment from the everyday world. Around him, he observes a kind of collective philosophical posturing, a shared sense that everyone wants transcendence but cannot quite achieve it. The production sits in the pocket of the album's aesthetic: sparse, repetitive, built to let the vocal and the lyrical weight carry the song forward rather than ornament it.

"Inside Outside" is a track by Mac Miller, from the album Faces, released 11th May 2014. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics

Inside Outside

[Intro]

Yeah, yeah

Shoulda died already (Faces)

I shoulda died already, shit (Faces)

Yeah

[Verse: Mac Miller & Josh Berg]

I shoulda died already

(Faces) Came in, I was high already

E'rybody trippin' that my mind ain't steady

(Faces) For my sin, shoulda been crucified already, rah!

Why the fuck you need me? (Faces)

Don't you know how to fly already?

Try and tell you that it ain't real (Faces)

Tell 'em, "Find that yeti"

(A-ooh!) Ooh (Faces)

Motherfucker (I'm that yeti!)

And it all could end right now (Faces)

I never been so ready

(Faces) All my homies philosophers

(Damn right!) (Yes) Yeah

(Faces) All my homies philosophers (Woo!) (Yes)

And I don't need nobody (Yes), I would love somebody, though

Don't you ever get it fucked up (Faces)

(Fuck yeah) Everybody wanna be God

Besides God, he wanna be like us (Faces)

We ain't never sleep too much

Beat that pussy up, she gonna need that trust

(Faces) Never see me in the street too much

But on the inside, I'm outside

All the time (Faces)

(Faces)

(Yeah, yeah, yeah)

Try and stay away from electric shock (Faces)

That electric shock (Faces)

I'm outside

[Outro]

Faces, Faces
