Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah, uhh
I know I make you want to leave the one you with
But I ain't Usher Raymond
I'm the kid that they rush to blamin', for the crush they claimin'
Who can make em' blush the same when I ask

"What's my name" and they yell
F-a-b-o
You shouldn't have even brought her my direction
Unless she was handcuffed with an order of protection, Yeah
I'm talkin' wreckless now
'Cause I'm the reason that your girlfriends are your ex's now nigga

I'm the fella that keep em yellin, and its nuttin' to get em
I don't sweat em', its what I tell em'
And they quickly forget em'
And I bet em' I get them to forget the day that they met em'

And I let em', cause I can spend em'
And its more then the denim
But I've been
Born to move, while you dudes be sleeping

The coupe on 22's keep your shorty sneaking
And she won't tell the truth, she too used to creepin'
When Mike is in the booth, it's the truth I'm speaking

Any girl I gave it to
Can't even go love another man
I give it to em' like no other brother can
She say my man can barely move me

Before you made me scream, like a scary movie
On top of that
I'm smoother than the rest of the gangsters
And I knew that dude you met, was a wanksta

Oh
Damn homie
Your girl is with the street fam Homie
And she ain't fuckin' with you

It's a shame, you lames
Can't even maintain' your thangs
And its insane the way, that she gave me brain
I pimp things the same, don't forget the name

And when chicks peep the chain, they just can't restrain
Shorty don't try to fake it
Just up and face it
Your time is being wasted, your mans a basic

See it all in his face, he's cheap and tasteless
But life is what you make it, just watch the bracelet

I bet your man can't do it like me
His veins don't pump pimp fluid like me
He's nowhere near or like me
And he probably think keeping you in check

Is buying you a pair of Nike's
Why wouldn't I get dough from her
When the digits on my checks, look like phone numbers
Fuck It

You might as well tell that buster skid addle
Not even Catherine can help him in his custody battle
Yeah

Can catch me in the club, with a case of bub
And a thick chick to rub, niggas hate because
When they sit in the truck, they be quick to fuck
When I'm getting a nut, they just lick it up

I'm they favorite, bust a flow is dangerous
I don't aim to give shortys out relationships
But they crave the chips, how many the range can fit
Shits dun' changed a bit, since I got the hang of it

That's right we got the hang of it
Mike shorey
Fabolous
Street family
Desert storm




I know you his but I want to make you mine
You know haha yeah

Overall Meaning

In the song Make U Mine, Fabolous and Mike Shorey are boasting about their prowess with women and how they can make them leave their current partners. Fabolous claims that his name is enough to make women blush, and that any girl he's been with can't love another man like they loved him. Mike Shorey talks about how he can make women forget the day they met their previous partner and how they're too used to sneaking around and being deceptive. They both criticize the women's current partners for being unable to satisfy them and for being cheap.


The song is an ode to boasting and bravado, in the vein of many rap songs. However, it also has a melancholic undertone, as the men are unable to have genuine connections with the women they're with and instead use their money and power to keep them around. It paints a picture of a toxic and shallow lifestyle but glorifies it at the same time.
