Dopefiend's Lullaby
Mac Mall Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey Mr. Dopefiend smokin rocks
Hittin on that pipe til your brain cells pop
All up in my face wanting puff for the five
Ain't trippin what I give him he just wants to get high
Straight to the till and you don't say a word
'cause your workin wit a chip from a ballers blur
Danglas (Fiends) steadin jockin 'cause they saw a cop
but when they flag ya down ya turn your head and don't stop

Sneak in mama's house and you hope she don't flash
Clean yo glass dick so you can take major blast
But before you take a trip on your cocaine flight
Mom's she down the door so yo break outta sight
Now you feelin hella maney like its you against the world
'cause yo whole life revolve around that white girl
But not that honky ho that you see every day
Its that wicked white bitch named parubian flakes
And for a fat dub tell me what would you do?
Disrespect your family hit a lick or two
Steal your mama's shit just to get a faulty fix
Drink a glass uh piss
Suck a dead mans dick
Hustlas want to hang you cause ya owe um hella loot
But you don't give a fuck 'cause all you care about goo
You used to have a business
Ya used to havve fuckin life but you trade that shit in for some
California
White
Now tell me what's wrong with today's society
That make a mothafucker want to die for the "D"
Cocaine has been a killer, since 1983
At first only a high for right, rich and elite
But now its on the street which brings us back to the fiend
He finally found a place were he can light his filthy screen

Searching for a match so he can blaze his own fuse
He lit that yola up and man the pipe went "BOOM"

Overall Meaning

Mac Mall's song "Dopefiend's Lullaby" portrays the reality of a drug addict's lifestyle. The lyrics depict the life of a dope fiend who is addicted to smoking rocks and is always high. Mr. Dopefiend smokes rocks and hits the pipe until his brain cells pop, which shows the severity of his addiction. He is continuously begging for puffs and wants to get high all the time. The dope fiend's life is entirely based on getting high, and he is willing to risk his relationships and future to get his fix.

The lyrics describe how the dope fiend, despite being broke, uses a chip from a ballers blur instead of money to purchase drugs, which is symbolic of how addiction can rob a person of their dignity, and they resort to illegal means to fund their habit. The dope fiend sneaks into his mama's house to use his drugs, hoping not to get caught. This is a reminder that addiction is not just an individual issue, it affects the entire family dynamic. The lyrics paint a picture of a hopelessly addicted person whose life is centered around drugs, and they will do anything to get their next fix.

Line by Line Meaning

Hey Mr. Dopefiend smokin rocks
Addressing the drug addict smoking crack cocaine

Hittin on that pipe til your brain cells pop
Chain-smoking cocaine to the verge of brain damage

All up in my face wanting puff for the five
Asking for a hit for five dollars in my personal space

Ain't trippin what I give him he just wants to get high
Doesn't care much about what I give, just wants to get high

Straight to the till and you don't say a word
Goes straight to the counter without speaking

'cause your workin wit a chip from a ballers blur
You have a blue chip from a rich person

Danglas (Fiends) steadin jockin 'cause they saw a cop
Drug addicts are nervously looking around because they saw a police officer

but when they flag ya down ya turn your head and don't stop
When the police stop you, you ignore them and keep walking

Sneak in mama's house and you hope she don't flash
Sneak into your mother's house, hoping she won't catch you

Clean yo glass dick so you can take major blast
Preparing your glass pipe for a big hit

But before you take a trip on your cocaine flight
Before you get high on cocaine

Mom's she down the door so yo break outta sight
Your mother knocks on the door, so you quickly leave

Now you feelin hella maney like its you against the world
Feeling invincible and like nobody can stop you

'cause yo whole life revolve around that white girl
Because your entire life revolves around the addiction to cocaine

But not that honky ho that you see every day
Not the white woman you see every day, but something else

Its that wicked white bitch named parubian flakes
It's the deadly drug called 'Peruvian Flake'

And for a fat dub tell me what would you do?
What would you do for a large amount of money?

Disrespect your family hit a lick or two
Disrespect your family and commit some crimes for money

Steal your mama's shit just to get a faulty fix
Steal your mother's possessions to buy bad quality drugs

Drink a glass uh piss
Drink a glass of urine

Suck a dead mans dick
Perform a sexual act on a deceased person

Hustlas want to hang you cause ya owe um hella loot
Criminals want to hurt you because you owe them a lot of money

But you don't give a fuck 'cause all you care about goo
You don't care about anything else because of the addiction

You used to have a business
You used to have a career or job

Ya used to havve fuckin life but you trade that shit in for some California White
You had a life, but you traded it away for cocaine

Now tell me what's wrong with today's society
Asking about the issues with society

That make a mothafucker want to die for the 'D'
What makes someone so desperate for drugs that they would die for it?

Cocaine has been a killer, since 1983
Cocaine has been a lethal drug since 1983

At first only a high for the rich, right and elite
Initially, only the wealthy and elite could afford cocaine

But now its on the street which brings us back to the fiend
Now cocaine is available on the streets, causing addiction and suffering

He finally found a place were he can light his filthy screen
The addict has finally found a place to smoke cocaine

Searching for a match so he can blaze his own fuse
Looking for a match to light the pipe

He lit that yola up and man the pipe went 'BOOM'
He lit up the cocaine pipe and experienced a powerful high
