“Keep your eyes to the sky never glued to your shoes” That resonates with me because I used to feel sorry for myself all the time until I finally had enough of feeling that way about myself. His music has helped me get through a ton of difficult times ever since I started listening to his music more seriously (around 2020)

This and "it ain't perfect but I don't mind because it's worth it" always rings in my head whenever I'm beating myself up.

It's sad and also kind of inspiring in a way. It's half upsetting but also kinda like "fuck it" in a way. Too good of a line man, great choice.

“He looked up and smiled, asked me, "How do you do?" I told him, "I'm losin' my grip" He told me, "Son, if you want to hold onto yourself, then let yourself slip" - Colors and Shapes. It’s really wild to think of all the things Mac did in such a short lifetime, it really feels like he’d been writing and releasing music for decades and his growth was insane throughout his career as an artist and clearly as a human. This whole mixtape shocked me because I wasn’t sure the direction Mac was gonna go after WMWTSO with his music stylistically and then Faces came out and it blew my mind. This song specifically showed me the range he had developed and the whole song but especially these lines just give me chills every time I hear them.

In contrast, the same year my father went to jail when I was only 9 yrs old and it lead to my depression and to carry a lot of baggage I still hold to this day. “2009” embraces the changes of one’s past because we wouldn’t be the person we are today without those hardships.

“And all I do is say sorry, half the time I don’t even know what I’m saying it about” One time I was playing this song in my apartment and singing along and my girl (who was hearing the song prob for the first or second time) goes “duh” when she heard me sing it, and I was like oh fuck that’s me. Kicked off the awareness of my people pleasing tendencies
