I Got Soul
A.M. Dre Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Mac Dre, boy)
[ Mac Dre ]
Since I was a young buck my mackin was cool
I used to tongue-kiss girls in the back of the school
And maybe sometime a nigga got mo' than a kiss
I put my finger in some puss that smelled like piss
And as I reminisce, huh, it's kinda funny
How I talked little girls out they lunch money
They didn't run from me, they used to jock young Dre
Then I stepped up game and got some cock one day
It was a bloody mess and yes, tight as some vice grips
But I was a little nigga killin some tight shit
Tossed, turned and started fuckin her few friends
Cause she told two friends and they told two friends
And word got out that young Dre could fuck good
Then I bumped a bitch who could fuck and suck good
And after that cock was nothin to me
So I flipped the script and stopped fuckin for free
Every bitch I dicked down, had to kick down
Whoever I tossed up, had to cough up
Young in the game, mayn, but quick to learn
That money makes this world turn
So I peep game, pop that thang
And let fools know how I got that name
Mac Dre, boy

(Mac Dre, boy)
[ Mac Dre ]
I used to creep on Crest streets with a tight mask on
Posted, toasted, gettin my cash on
Strapped with a gat and a bottle of Hen though
Orange zig zags and big bags of that Endo
I pushed pebbles to the midnight hour
24-7 same clothes, no shower
Dopesacks smellin like nutsacks, but fuck it
I was checkin ducats, collect in buckets
But now I'm fresh out the pen with a chip on my shoulder
And out of the motor my blood runs much colder
Somebody told a fed I was in the mix
Hittin licks, nigga, ain't that a bitch
I make raps, stay far from saps
Checks my traps and collect my snaps




The Country Club Crest is where I got this game
And rappin on the mic is how I got that name

Line by Line Meaning

Since I was a young buck my mackin was cool
I've been a smooth talker since I was young


I used to tongue-kiss girls in the back of the school
I used to make out with girls in school


And maybe sometime a nigga got mo' than a kiss
Sometimes I got more than just a kiss


I put my finger in some puss that smelled like piss
I fingered a girl whose vagina smelled bad


And as I reminisce, huh, it's kinda funny
Looking back, it's amusing


How I talked little girls out they lunch money
I convinced young girls to give me their lunch money


They didn't run from me, they used to jock young Dre
They weren't scared of me, they liked me


Then I stepped up game and got some cock one day
Then I became more successful and had sex with someone


It was a bloody mess and yes, tight as some vice grips
It was messy and tight


But I was a little nigga killin some tight shit
But I was young and doing well


Tossed, turned and started fuckin her few friends
I had sex with her friends


Cause she told two friends and they told two friends
Because she spread the word about me


And word got out that young Dre could fuck good
People heard that I was good in bed


Then I bumped a bitch who could fuck and suck good
Then I had sex with someone who was good at both


And after that cock was nothin to me
After that, sex was nothing special to me


So I flipped the script and stopped fuckin for free
So I started charging for sex


Every bitch I dicked down, had to kick down
Every woman I had sex with had to pay me


Whoever I tossed up, had to cough up
Whoever I had sex with had to pay me


Young in the game, mayn, but quick to learn
I was young, but I learned quickly


That money makes this world turn
Money is important in this world


So I peep game, pop that thang
So I paid attention and got involved


And let fools know how I got that name
And told people how I became known as Mac Dre


I used to creep on Crest streets with a tight mask on
I used to sneak around with a mask on


Posted, toasted, gettin my cash on
I was hanging out, getting money


Strapped with a gat and a bottle of Hen though
Carrying a gun and alcohol


Orange zig zags and big bags of that Endo
I had rolling papers and a lot of weed


I pushed pebbles to the midnight hour
I sold drugs until late at night


24-7 same clothes, no shower
I wore the same clothes all the time and didn't shower


Dopesacks smellin like nutsacks, but fuck it
The drugs I sold smelled bad, but I didn't care


I was checkin ducats, collect in buckets
I was making money and collecting it


But now I'm fresh out the pen with a chip on my shoulder
But now I'm out of prison and angry


And out of the motor my blood runs much colder
I'm more ruthless now


Somebody told a fed I was in the mix
Someone told the police I was involved in something


Hittin licks, nigga, ain't that a bitch
Robbing people is tough


I make raps, stay far from saps
I make music and avoid weak people


Checks my traps and collect my snaps
I check my earnings and collect my money


The Country Club Crest is where I got this game
I learned these life skills in Country Club Crest


And rappin on the mic is how I got that name
Performing rap music is how I became known as Mac Dre
