You Never Know
The Mac Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You better think before you call Tyrone
Can you trust him
Is he real
Does he look you in the eyes and make you feel what he's saying
Shit I ain't playing
My ??? in knots
I gots no time for new friends
Some of the old ones ain't cool
You ain't kicked it with this nigga since high school
And you twenty-two now
All a sudden y'all exchanging numbers callin
You don't think that nigga heard you ballin
Fuck that
I smell a rat
And I can hear the gats click clack
Along with the sirens
And special forces teams
Or can it be that infrared beam and ski masks
Niggas on a mission who say they gots to have it
I'm grasping at straws
And you think I'm picking with cha
But you gots to stay one up on them niggas
For they come and get cha
You figure since y'all go way back them that matters
Sometimes they be the first to ratta tatta
Chorus: Mia X
Friend or foe
You never know who's real
Who's fake
Who's mask of love disguise hate
You never know
Break bread sleep in your house
Then turn around and rat you out
Friend or foe
You never know who's real
Who's fake
Who's mask of love disguise hate
You never know
Break bread sleep in your house
Then end up being rivals in a shot out
Verse 2: Mac
Have you ever pulled a caper
With a nigga who you thought was your ace
Y'all got separated he got caught
And they took him to that place
With no hesitation
He was coughing up all kinds of information
Ole, master splint ass nigga
Can't handle interrogation
Type of nigga that see your killer
But instead of informing you
Act like he don't see shit
Walk away without warning you
Ain't that cold
Cause you remember when he had slept on your couch
When his other partner had kicked him out
For running his god damn mouth
But see ah that's the type of shit your girl was telling you bout
And she told you he was trying to fuck every time you left the house
You thought he was only tripping
And that she was only bitching
Till you caught in your kitchen
Trying to shove his little dick in
What you love
So now you in the pen for it
Oh yeah you shot him so now you doing ten for it
Niggas don't give a fuck
They would rob you now
And drink with you later
Rape your sister
Go to school with you
And cheat on your paper
(Chorus) until song fades
The Mac's song You Never Know is a cautionary tale in the form of a rap ballad about trust issues and betrayal, with both Mia X and Mac sharing their experiences with treacherous friends. Mia X's verse is about a warning to her friends about not being too trusting of old and new acquaintances, regardless of how far you go back with them. She cautions her friend from exchanging numbers with a former high school friend that she suspects might be planning to rob or harm her. She also points out that sometimes the people you go way back with can be the first to betray you, and that friends or foes, you can never really know who is real, who is fake, or who is just using a mask of love to hide their true intentions.
Mac's verse is about his own experience with trusting the wrong person, who he thought was his close friend or "ace." This friend stole from him, tried to seduce his girlfriend, and later, when separated from Mac during a caper, gave information about Mac to the authorities. The verse showcases how easily people can pretend to be your friend while secretly harboring ill intentions towards you. Mac ends up in prison for shooting his former friend, who he thought was a trustworthy ally.
You Never Know is a poignant reminder that while friendship can be a beautiful thing, it's not always what it seems, and that it is essential to be vigilant and cautious about who we trust.

Remember when this person stayed at your house and was treated like family?

These dangerous people would rob you without a second thought
And drink with you later
They would still pretend to be your friend and hang out with you, even after robbing you
Rape your sister
These people are capable of the most heinous crimes, including sexual assault
Go to school with you
They could even be close to you and attend school with you
And cheat on your paper
They might even cheat off you in school and lie to you about it
