Song Meaning of “America (feat. Casey Veggies, Joey Bada$$)” by Mac Miller
Mac Miller’s ‘America (feat. Casey Veggies and Joey Bada$$)’ is an ode to finding yourself and finding your ultimate place in this world. It speaks to a generation determined and struggling to figure out their identities and role in this tumultuous society. It speaks to the idea of the “American Dream”, and how both young and old alike are striving to find the place where they are ultimately accepted and where they can feel comfortable with being an individual. Miller paints a picture of a nation where the American Dream is alive and well – where ambition, confidence, and passion are needed to make it there. Miller and Casey Veggies rap of their shared struggle of persevering in a system where they are seen as the “other” and ask the listener if they too are searching for the same thing. Joey Bada$$ brings it all together with his lines that speak of a call for change in the way America is perceived. All in all, ‘America’ is a declaration of the freedom and unity that comes with pursuing the American Dream.
