Let It Be Me
The Macs Lyrics

I got trouble rhymes to a death the troubled times
I have difficult lyrics to convey the hardships of our times.

A double nine incase niggas get out of line
I carry a gun in case someone tries to cross me.

And heaven knows that I tried to change
I have tried to be a better person.

But in the mist of trying to be a better man
Even in the process of trying to improve myself,

Trouble is all I can seem to see
I still only see problems.

And the fact I know tomorrow isn't promised to me
I am aware that life is not guaranteed.

So from this day forth I'll be all I can be
I will do my best moving forward.

My brother turned his back on me
My sibling betrayed me.

Got to be my own man
I have to be independent.

Regardless of what the stakes is I'ma play my own hand
I will take my own risks and make my own choices.

And I'm tired of being let down by my so-called friends
I am exhausted by the disappointment from people I thought were friends.

Regardless to the blood shed – no tears in the end
Even if violence happens, I won't show emotion.

Father please forgive for I have sinned – forgive us all
I pray for forgiveness for myself and others.

But I ain't to blame – the lunatics wearing my heart
My reckless behavior is beyond my control.

And I think I gotta build another wall
I need to put up more defenses to protect myself.

Cause I don't want the world to see me
I don't want to be vulnerable to others.

Cause maybe these demons will try to end me
I fear that my own demons will harm me.

I'm exhausted and my body's sleepy
I am worn out and tired.

Never the less it's hard to rest – I'm a nervous wreck
Despite being weary, I am anxious and cannot relax.

I walk with the stress
I carry a heavy burden.

I use to walk around with a vest
I used to wear protective gear for safety.

But now a days I be like "fuck it dog
But now I say, "screw it.

You fuck with me I gots to fuck with ya'll"
If you mess with me, I will retaliate.

And "make ends" is just another word for "pay back"
Using illegal means to make money goes hand in hand with revenge.

Paying you back today for this grudge that I had way back
I am getting even for an old grievance.

You niggas I grew up with wouldn't play with that
The people I grew up with would not have behaved in such a way.

I send you bitches to the morgue with holes in your head
I will kill my enemies and cause them to be buried.

No remorse – why you think my niggas taught me to ball?
I have no sympathy for those I harm, which is why I am skilled at taking them out.

Cause I be walking around in designer suits?
Just because I dress well does not mean I won't hurt you.

In fact these niggas know that I'm the truth
These people know that I am trustworthy and reliable.

Always scandalous – eye before I shoot
I am untrustworthy and will resort to violence if needed.

For disrespect there is no excuse
I will not tolerate any disrespect.

Want a war? Die on
If you want a battle, prepare to die.

Walk the line get it on
You better walk straight and be prepared for what's to come.

Here to today, then your gone – fucking with us
You'll be here one moment and gone the next, messing with us.

If you talk it up back it up
If you talk a big game, you better be able to follow through.

Paper start stacking up
I am making money.

Niggas start acting up
People start behaving improperly when they see me succeed.

Let it be known
Everyone should be aware.

I play with psychotic, lunatic, gang da rang shit
I am involved with dangerous people and behaviors.

You know that walk up dome nigga close range shit
I have experience with killing people up close and personal.

Mack 10 – probably licked out so deep I dream on it
I am so addicted to violence that I think about it all the time.

Locate my pray and (?) and put my red dot beam on it
I find my target and aim my gun with precision.

Put the hammer lot squeeze on it with the dope kick in
I shoot aggressively and with a lot of force, while also being high on drugs.

Fuck a rage – feel the 44 shot deep within
I feel powerful and unstoppable when I am shooting my gun.

Bitch niggas can't fuck with true niggas by nature
Weak people cannot handle the strength and aggression of true, hardcore individuals like me.

And believe me dog you got a problem on your hands if I hate ya
If I dislike you, you should be afraid of me.

I'll make (?) spit flames like a K nigga
I will make my gun spit bullets like a machine gun.

Now close your eyes, pray nigga - I swear it's your day nigga
I force my enemies to face their near-death and pray, knowing I might kill them at any moment.

Got so much dope off its like a crack storm to me
I have a dangerous amount of drugs and I get high off them.

And your heart is so gone but your ass belongs to me
I have taken control of everything you have, while also corrupting your morality.

Using my colors against me but this time stay true
People I thought were on my side are now turning against me, but I am staying true to myself and my values.

Ain't no body to blame shoot, for you now being through
No one can be blamed for your current state, except for yourself.

Plus and make one move to the game
I am always ready to play the game of violence.

When your scandalous living trife
If you live an immoral, corrupt lifestyle,

That's when you fuck with a real nigga gotta pay with your life
You will have to pay with your life if you mess with someone like me.

You say I can't hustle – well hell if I can't
If you say I cannot make money through illegal means, you are wrong.

I keep my nose to the grind
I work hard and persistently.

And go hard to the paint
I am competitive and do not back down.

With a ki of that white or a pound of that dank
I deal drugs and have a large quantity of them.

And if it's dank it gotta be sticky and stank
High-quality drugs have a strong, potent smell.

It's the dope dealer 1-0 the powder pusher
I am a drug dealer and seller, also known as a powder pusher.

You's a pussy so you's a dusher and blood gusher
You are weak and will be killed soon.

I'ma Inglewood swangin'
I am from Inglewood and represent it.

I'ma rep Hoo-Bangin'
I represent the gang, Hoo-Bangin'.

I'ma let my nuts hangin'
I am proud and unafraid of what I do.

I'ma do tha damn thangin'
I am going to do what I want and not let anyone stop me.

I fuck all bitch niggas and slap up hoes
I have sex with weak men and physically harm women.

And shatter windows with K's and chemicals
I break things with my guns and explosive chemicals.

So when the funk kick is on
When it's time to be violent,

We don't need a show stopper
We don't need to put on a fancy show to prove our dominance.

Get the rangin' east poppers
We take out our guns.

Squeeze and waving east choppers
We aggressively and arrogantly shoot our guns.

Fuck around with this shit and get your wig split
If you mess with us, we will kill you.

Either do it myself or just pay for your hit
I will kill you myself or hire someone else to do it.

It's the chicken hard passion
I am enthusiastic about violence, even though it is dangerous.

And I'm never letting up
I am always ruthless and unrelenting.

Anything in my way best believe I'm wetting up
If you stand in my way, expect to be shot and killed.
