About This Track

Mac Miller celebrates the simple pleasure of stepping outside on a beautiful day. The track moves through a series of vignettes: waking up and heading out the door, sharing a blunt with friends as the sun shines, the freedom of youth treating the world as a playground. There's a lightness to it, a refusal to stay cooped up indoors when the weather invites otherwise. The song finds Miller in a reflective mood about privilege and presence. He moves from the immediate joy of good weather to broader observations about how a sunny day levels rich and poor alike, how childhood summers blur into one long season of possibility. References to lemonade stands and corner hustling sit alongside Hemingway and Heaven, suggesting that contentment doesn't require much, just attention to what's already there. The chorus keeps returning to its central question: why wouldn't you want to be outside?

"Outside" is a track by Mac Miller, from the album K.I.D.S. (Deluxe), released 13th August 2010. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics

Outside

[Chorus]

Do you mind if we smoke this blunt outside?

'Cause it's nice out and we could get high

Yeah, the sun shinin' and I'm feelin' right

We outside, outside (Hey, hey, hey)

[Verse 1]

I wake up, throw on some clothes and out the door, I won't be back, ma

Shinin' sun, horizon settin' up a lovely backdrop

My life the topic of a lullaby

Ah, breath of fresh air is somethin' right

I don't wanna be inside today

Just keep it rollin' like we ridin' skates

I got a halfy of haze, I'm thinkin' we gon' get high today

And let the sun shine all in my face

Oh yeah, this life is good, don't let it all go to waste

Just walk outside the door to get your mom off your case, haha

Yeah, free livin', swear I be on some hippie shit

But gettin' way fresher than the hippies is

I got the, the gift of gab, somethin' that you wish you had

Don't need to get a strap, nah, I'd rather kick a rap

Enjoy the place that you livin' at, stay 'round

We just some kids and this world is our playground

[Chorus]

Do you mind if we smoke this blunt outside?

'Cause it's nice out and we could get high

Yeah, the sun shinin' and I'm feelin' right

We could post outside for the night

Do you mind if we smoke this blunt outside?

'Cause it's nice out and we could get high

Oh yeah, the sun shinin' and I'm feelin' right

We outside, outside (Hey)

[Verse 2]

When I be on some kid shit, go and take my shorty on a picnic

And every day feelin' like it's Christmas

The kinda weather have the people livin' so privileged

I know the Lord take, today He was tryna giveth

Hey, hey, ayy, rich or poor, a sunny day a sunny day

We start the madness as soon as we hit the month of May

Rain, rain, go away

Waitin' for my homie Mr. Sun to come our way

Little kids runnin' through the streets playin'

Poppy on the porch, he ain't got time to waste it

He just an old man in the sea, Ernest Hemingway

Elevate, look up in the sky, stare at Heaven's face

Second grade, holdin' down the corner, slangin' lemonade

Every day hustlin', you ridin' down Penny Lane

You ain't gonna get a day like this

So put to rest your troubles with that goodnight kiss

[Chorus]

Do you mind if we smoke this blunt outside?

'Cause it's nice out and we could get high

Yeah, the sun shinin' and I'm feelin' right

We could post outside for the night

Do you mind if we smoke this blunt outside?

'Cause it's nice out and we could get high

Oh yeah, the sun shinin' and I'm feelin' right

We outside, outside

Do you mind if we smoke this blunt outside?

'Cause it's nice out and we could get high

Yeah, the sun shinin' and I'm feelin' right

We could post outside for the night

Do you mind if we smoke this blunt outside?

'Cause it's nice out and we could get high

Oh yeah, the sun shinin' and I'm feelin' right

We outside, outside
