Shakin&
Mac Mall Lyrics

I'm like a dopefiend shakin in the alley fiendin for a hit
I am in desperate need of something that I desire, just as a drug addict is willing to shake in the alley for their fix

Can you bring this?
Are you capable of providing me with what I need?

Huuuh, when I listen to your tape, I can feel it
Your music resonates with me and evokes a strong emotional response

Nothing but them bomb beats, comin straight from Cali
These are some high-quality, explosive beats originating from California

This is for them players, can you sing this?
This song is created for those who have success and status, can you relate to it and perform it?

Dopefiend shakin in the alley, fiendin for a fix
I am still in dire need of something that I must have, as if I were a drug addict craving a hit

Cause baby, I need it
The thing I desire is so precious and important to me that I need it like a baby needs its mother

East Coast, West Coast, worldwide and all over the globe
This phenomenon is not exclusive to a certain region, it happens all over the world

MC's got this rap game wrong
Most rappers have a misguided understanding of how the industry works

Suckers think being the greatest on the microphone
People who lack true talent and credibility believe that being a great rapper is all about the microphone skills

Is when you're ridin in stretches and the stations playing your song
They think they've made it when they ride stretched limousines while their songs are being played on the radio stations

In a tiny studio there's a want to-be star
In a small recording booth there's a person who dreams of being a hip-hop star

With big hopes and dreams of rappin and livin large
They yearn for a successful career that would provide them with luxuries and a comfortable life

The clothes, plus the cars and the video broads
They want to have flashy clothing, fancy cars, and date beautiful video models

At a show he gets a call by a crooked A&R
At a performance, they receive a phone call from an unethical person in an executive position

You know how the rest go, the snake told the boy he gon' blow
The person in the executive position convinced the rapper that they're going to be successful

"Sign your name right here, we even front you some dough"
The executive offers the rapper a lucrative deal, even before they've proven themselves

And he did it, no lawyer, no care
The rapper signed the contract hastily, without consulting a lawyer, which shows their lack of concern for their own well-being

Daydreamin of kickin it with Les and Joe Claire
They fantasize about hanging out with Les and Joe Claire, who were hip-hop DJs and hosts that were popular in the 90s

Lyin on the tube 'bout how you'se a player
They start boasting on TV about how they're a successful rapper and a playa, but it's all lies

Or some type of gangsta with a rappin career
They claim to be a gangsta rapper with a thriving career, but it's all fabricated

Or one of them fools yellin 'bout 'keep it real'
They claim to prioritize authenticity in their music, but they're really just hypocrites

Are you a platinum artist with that four point deal?
Have you achieved a platinum status in your music career, where you receive a four point deal from the record label?

That's major ill, you shoulda been like double M and
That's awesome, but you should've followed my path and did something different

Played for scrill, boss boller appeal
You should've played for money and developed a confident image

I set up shop to serve all rap fiends
I've established my own place and I'm ready to provide my service to all rap enthusiasts

And all you gotta do is just repeat after me
All you have to do is repeat what I say in my rap songs

I was gone for a minute, but now the man is back in it
I was absent from the industry for a brief period of time, but now I'm re-engaged and doing well

Shob rotation like them chrome twomps spinnin
My music is being played regularly, just like how wheels on a car spin

Consumers be spendin they cash
Hip-hop fans are spending their hard-earned money trying to stay up-to-date with the latest releases

On weak rap albums, because the single's a smash
People are buying subpar rap albums just because the lead single is popular

Just the thougth of it make me laugh
The concept of this happening is so ridiculous and amusing to me

And his rap style old and towed and that production was trash
This rapper's style is outdated and unoriginal, and their music production is subpar

I know you needed somethin to slam when you mash
I know you wanted some music to listen to when you're driving recklessly

Have you high speedin, I make your whip crash
My music is so energizing and invigorating that it might make you drive too fast and crash

You can turn it up if you want whiplash
You can listen to it loudly, but be careful because it might give you whiplash

I'm steady bobbin your head cause I'm comin like that
My beats and rhymes are so catchy and rhythmic that you can't help but nod your head to them

Rap fans goin through a drought
Hip-hop enthusiasts are experiencing a dry spell and are craving new content

Cause they ain't had no Mall
They haven't been exposed to my music lately

Cold turkey, but now you're back perky
They have gone without my music for a while, but now they're excited and revitalized by my return

Goin out to all the be-boys and the girlies
I'm dedicating this to all the breakdancers and girls who love hip-hop

I'ma keep ya bouncin like the Sugarwolf Shirlies
I'm going to keep you moving and grooving like the Sugar Wolf Shirlies, who were a popular soul/funk group from the 70s

Suckers ain't worthy to get near
Fake rappers aren't even worthy of being close to me and my caliber

As I bless this track, all a young mack hear...
As I beautify this piece of music with my incredible rap skills, all the young men listening to it can hear what true hip-hop sounds like

The drought is over, the drought is over, yeah y'all
The period of drought in the hip-hop industry is over, rejoice!

The drought is over, the drought is over, Mac Mall
I, Mac Mall, am the one who's ending the drought with my music

Got that perfect drug
My music is like a drug to my fans, one that fulfills their hunger

Some of that supernova game that I know you love
I've got some incredible music that is so potent and amazing that I know you love it

Record stores double up, rap shows filled to capacity
My music is doing so well that record stores are selling out and my live shows are completely packed

With all souls possessed by my flow and its speed
My fans are so consumed by my music and my rap skills that it feels like they're possessed by it

On this radio station over thousands of watts
My music is being played all over the radio stations, being broadcasted through a lot of watts

And the rollers can't stop my knot
Even law enforcement can't stop me from making money and being successful

Media can't take my props, I'm in the studio preparin a hit
The media can't take away my accolades and successes, as I'm working on my next hit in the studio

Manny mannish on some blow up shit
I'm feeling confident and assertive, ready to dominate the music industry

And you can't kick this habit, so submit
You're addicted to my music and you can't resist it, so just accept it

California to Miami, I got your fix
Whether you're in California or Miami, I've got the music that you need

Name ringin in your ear like when you slam this here
You'll remember my name everytime you play this song

See, my name is young Mac Mall and servin game is my career
My name is Mac Mall, and providing incredible rap skills is my profession

Surgeon General say this style (is addictive)
Even the Surgeon General recognizes that my music style is incredibly addicting and powerful

The more I keep comin, the more you keep listening
The more I release new music, the more you'll keep listening to it

Like a dopefiend, know what I mean
Like a drug addict, you know what I'm talking about

Real soldier about the green
I'm truly dedicated and hard-working when it comes to making money

Industry can't boost my esteem
The music industry can't increase my self-worth, as it comes from within me

Mean-muggin as the money is made
I'm maintaining a serious, stern expression as I make more and more money

Me and my deejay as the whole crowd say...
Me and my DJ are performing in front of a crowd, and everyone is excited and shouting along with us
