Call Me A Mack
usher Lyrics

Yo!
Usher is getting someone's attention

What's sup?
Usher wants to know what's going on

Hey!
Usher is greeting someone

My name is Usher,
Usher is introducing himself

You can trust there ain't
Usher is saying that he is trustworthy

No punks in this house,
Usher is stating that there are no weaklings in his home

And if you really wanna know what my name is
Usher is offering to tell someone his name

Just Call Me A Mack
Usher is telling someone to refer to him as a mack

Word,
Usher is saying that he is telling the truth

Right!
Usher is telling someone that they are correct

Just call me the mack
Usher is repeating his earlier statement

Anytime baby,
Usher is saying that he is always available

Cause I ain't confused
Usher is confident about his decisions

I maybe got some,
Usher may have some flaws

But I got a
Despite his flaws, he is still manly

Whole lot on manly in me
Usher is emphasizing his manliness

So I'm afraid
Usher is scared

That I can't complain (Huh, ha!)
Even though he is scared, he won't complain

I don't mind
Usher isn't bothered

If you wanna come by my crib
He is inviting someone to his home

And chill,
Usher is saying they can relax

But just be sure
Usher is making a request

That you call me first
He wants someone to call him before they arrive

Because the last girl that tried
Usher is giving an example

To just be droppin' on by (Oh, no)
The girl was just showing up unexpectedly

Learned how to play a player
The girl learned how to trick Usher

And do you know why,
Usher is asking if they know why

Because the mack
The reason the girl learned how to trick him is that he is a mack

Just Call Me A Mack
Usher is repeating his earlier request

Cause I got it like that
Usher is saying he has everything under control

You gotta play by the rules
Usher is saying that there are some rules

Or I'll get back with you
If the rules aren't followed, Usher will take action

It's a well-known fact
Usher is saying that what he is saying is true

Now, baby I ain't dumb
Usher is saying he isn't foolish

And all those silly
Usher is saying that he finds those games stupid

Games that you play
He is talking about someone else's activity

I see right through
Usher can see past all of the games

So let me kick it to yah (To yah!)
He wants to explain something to someone

I don't have a lot of girls,
Usher is saying he doesn't have many companions

But I gotta know
Usher still wants respect

I'll get the respect that I give
Usher is gonna offer respect but is also willing to take it

That's just the way I live
Usher is just describing who he is

Because the last girl
He's giving another example

I had was moving
Usher is saying that she was going too quickly

Things too fast (Slow down)
Usher is asking someone to slow down

She tried to pull a fooler
The girl tried to trick Usher

And do you know
He's asking someone else, whether they know why or not

Hook (twice)
The hook is being repeated

The mack is right here
Usher is referring to himself as the mack

And yes, I care as much
Usher does care about his music and its reception

Just giving a little love
Usher is trying to express love for music

It's spreading everywhere
This is how far his music is reaching

You see it's
The evidence is clear

Here
This is one place where the music is

Here
This is another place where the music can be found

And here
This is yet another place where the music can be found

Catch a feeling
Usher is trying to spread emotions with his music

I'm having a little trouble
He's struggling with something

I know my girl will always
He is showing how much he trusts his wife

Hit it
He is referencing music again

Pit it
This line seems to be completely meaningless

Like an orange
Usher is making a comparison between an orange and something else

Cause it looks
He's explaining why he had to make the comparison

Like numbness
This line seems to be completely meaningless

My lovin' and
Usher is referring to himself lovingly

Hugin'
This line seems to be completely meaningless

And bitterness
Usher might be talking about a breakup here

My peeps keep
Usher is talking about his friends

Pumpin'
This line seems to be completely meaningless

Humpin'
Usher is likely making a reference to sexual activity

On stage
Usher is talking about performing on stage

I'm engaged
Usher is referencing his engagement to his then-fiancee Tameka Foster

And yes
Usher is agreeing with something

The truth is it
He is saying what he is about to say is the honest truth

You see an
He is saying if someone sees something

Ugly woman
Usher is talking about someone's appearance

You better change
He is saying that the person needs to make changes if they want to be successful

Oh, yes
Usher is affirming something

Like Ushers' my name
He is referencing himself

I can't go changing
Usher is saying he cannot change

My ways (Oh, no)
Usher is saying he won't be changing anytime soon

As long as I'm chillin'
Usher is saying that he'll continue to be himself

Then baby
Usher is addressing someone romantically

You can call me the mack
Once again, Usher is asking to be referred to as the mack

Hook (3 times)
Usher is repeating the hook three times
