lyrics
Macho Verse 1
She told me he’s a good man
You can trust him
but he’s a hood man
I know he be hustlin
I know that kid well
Love’s his mama
Church on easter with the Holy water
But after the goodnight kiss
He’s macked up, strapped up, wrapped up in the abyss
And if I didn’t warn you mama I would be remiss
I fear inside my heart nothing good can come of this
I thought you was the smart one
Got the good grades
Couldn’t see past the cadillac with wood grain
Diamonds are a girls best friend
but when you’re broken hearted - ain’t a diamond that can mend
I know you see the warning sign shorty don’t pretend
Joy can’t come in the morning if the night never ends
Now you’re fightin again
And the light’s growing dim
Should have trusted in the King instead of trusting in him
Griffin verse 2
"He got a taste for the good life, moved from the east coast,
hustled in ohio, made a name in the streets, coke was his business if u needed hard he would do it, wipped it up in the kitchen if the product made money he'd move it, anything that profit, he would cop it and make it sky rocket, stretched the powder and he filled pockets, he moved slow cuz he ain't have to move for know one, lived like a wiseguy, trust, owned some but gave none, love, owned tones and gave some, but what's love and trust when its based on the money you make son, thought his friends were his people and one had another thing in mind but it was all just a matter of time, thought he was safe cuz the concrete jungle was far away but greed's a resident in every state, he went missing with a brick a little less than a month, clear until the morning he was found dead in his trunk, true story
Macho Verse 3
He said he wanna to be a rock star
Leave the hood life
Give reality a long kiss goodnight
Give him some wisdom
to save him from anguish
I guess its my fault I couldn't speak his language
Met him as a tagger
always had thw need for recognition
An emcee at heart he loved the art like religion
Brought him to the hole
Took him under my wing
But aint nobody perfect not me not him
Tried to show him that the game is more than a dope rhyme
school him to the business side and elevate his mind
I taught him what I knew about the kingdom of the lord
Help him fine tune his skills to murder the 4/4
But he had his own plan
And I can't blame him
I love him like a brother but I can't tame him
I know he wants to reach his goals
I pray he realizes everything that glitters aint gold
