Discover the story of the song > Nothing from Nothing – Mac Miller

This song is about the protagonist telling his partner that he can't be with them if they have nothing to offer. He doesn't want to be their hero or their highness because he doesn't want to fill a hole in their life. He sees himself as a soldier, but he can't fight a war that isn't there. Essentially, he's saying that his partner needs to bring something to the table in order for the relationship to work.
