With Me Or Against Me
Mac Mall Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Some say the [?? ---- fell out ??] 'cause niggas get skunked out
Cowards we buck 'em down shoot the chooper in the ground
Muggin' with evil frown got heat nigga what's up now
Let off a hundred rounds guaranteed to shut your mouth
Some say we need to be locked up in penitentaries
I say kill off police and district attorneys
Public offenders too, they all be in cahoots
Cut them from ear to ear let 'em die in plug poos
Must not forget the judge so long I helped his grudge
With a rusty box cutter cut off his nuts
Though they might call us nuts I do not give a fuck
I hit that po'po' once then come mista monsta dump
To all the black police: I want to see you bleed
Nigga ya still a nigga that's on the wrong team
Sometime I hate the world want to kill up everythang
Maybe it's hallucinagenics fuckin' with my mind frame
The question's in head tellin' me don't trust my friends
Don't crush my cans so in my ruger I can [?? bend ??]
But then again what if this motha fucka jammed
Then I fall and will the lord know who I am?
Probably not because I'm livin' life by the fault
So off hellfire I blaze the blunt with me or against me
Ugh,
My bitch don't understand she think it's just a phase
I hear her cry at night hopin' that one day I change
Can't tell her that I love her when I lust the game
Tryin' to keep my composure but yet I'm untamed
Listen I hear the streets call my name
The same way they called my father in his day and that nigga came
It's tradition, though my mama raised me as a Christian
I still [?? roll in terms of low ??] with devilish intentions
Poppin' [?? shit out ??] but didn't nobody listen
On my way six feet under the ground or up in state prison
If so then in my book let it be written
A youngster did his fuckin' thang without pretendin'
Preacher think I'm cursed because I seldom go to church
I went through five-hundred boys doin' major dirt
Grandmama say the other night she had a dream
That I was laid off in a coffin after faulty scene
Looked at me said look baby you know what that mean?
That you can catch death tryin' to chase after green
And everybody ain't your partner so [?? - ---- --- ---- ??]
'cause fools will leave your ass for dead and don't trip
Am I crazy? Tell me am I really insane?
Is it strange 'cause I feel the pain corruptin' my brain?
I need a head shrink because I'm startin' to think
I'll turn the barrel on myself and take a long sleep
Baptised by my heat, take my own self out the game then maybe then I can rest in peace
Fuck [??] fools that want to see my on my back
With my mama cryin' over me dressed in all black
I'm drinkin' conyak poppin' hella prozak
It's harder everyday to keep my sanity intact
I'm takin' ritlan smokin' on that rope again
All type of mani shit that try to calm the beast within
I think I need to pray maybe that' do some good
Do God got some time for niggas in the hood?
Cain't win for losin' who the hell do I think I'm foolin'?
Voices in my dome I think I start to listen to 'em




Tellin' me to pull the trigger fool don't be no punk
And I ain't no punk so I blast I don't give no fuck

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Mac Mall's song "With Me or Against Me" are disturbing and violent, detailing the rapper's anger and frustration at the world around him. He expresses a desire to kill police officers and prosecutors, as well as a sense of paranoia and distrust of his own friends. He talks about his love for the dangerous lifestyle of the streets, despite the fact that those around him want him to change. He also grapples with suicidal thoughts at the end of the song.


The song is a reflection of the harsh reality of life in impoverished neighborhoods, where systemic racism and corruption lead to a sense of hopelessness and desperation. The lyrics reveal an underlying anger and sadness that is all too common in these communities. Mac Mall's message is not one of hope, but rather a call to action for those who feel as he does.

This is one hell of a song...Mac Mall needs to do more shit like this!!! I really like the way he sampled Farrakhan...very dope!!!

MOULAE

One of the best rap albums ever....EASILY on my top 10. This shit slapped in 99, an its still slap! RUDE BOOOOOOOOi! MALL is so under rated man I just don't understand, all these other rapperz man they slaves to the manz.

Alphabet Archer

This will always be a CLASSIC.!!!!!!!!!!!!!

5burowz

Decent album. Not as good as Illegal Business. Illegal Business is his masterpiece.

ZAY HERTZ-DEEPREST

This cut and Immaculate are the Macsterpieces I most admire. Almost 2 sides of the same song

Ian Gates

This whole album is under-rated, but I've been a Mac Mall fan for years so I guess "this is my opinion"

Styles 99

I feel yah. I would say that it is underrated and slept on because people might not feel the production. It was a lot different than his first two albums production wise. Mac Mall is one of the most slept on artist in my opinion.

Rashard Critz

Ian Gates Naw, u right bro!! This cd is a MF CLASSIC!!!

Rare Reef

@Ian Gates Yeah bro
Been on this since it dropped in the 90's
Still one of the most underrated lyrical albums to ever exist
Just listen to when they come for me
Hardest story ever written over a beat

SPG Consultants

No man i'm all the way in Canada and I've been listening to Mac Mall since the early 90s and this cat is underrated
