Mac Lethal
Cover My Tracks
And I remember the first time
I laid my eyes upon you, it was so sublime
You had a thought-provoking mind
But did you notice mine?
Hell no; you figured since I rapped
That I rolled around town with my finger on the trigger
Of a gat
Now can you picture that? me selling crack?
Bumpin' Tom Waits, trying to diet and lose my belly-fat
I said “Hello” and you said “Hello Mac”
But I fell in love when I realized you’d been to Hell
And back
And still walk around with so much poise
You could retreat with self pity
But instead u made the choice
To put the tears on hold, kneel down and grab a shield
Grab a sword and take a march through the battlefield
You're the only girl that I've been with that when i’m
Without
It's like I missed out on friendship
I used to be charming
Now I'm just a sharp sting
It's like you're looking for a fingerprint on harp
Strings

If I could take ‘em all back, done
I would take 'em all back but one
I would take 'em all past the sun
And leave 'em like that
And cover my tracks so they could never make it back to
Find me
You know?

You know

And I remember the first time
I realized that sometimes
That you and I shouldn’t occupy the same confines
For too much time
Or we share disaster
Cuz we share the energy to argue over shit that doesn’t
Matter
And nothing really matters
But everything, every cliche, ever set of wings
I let you pull the weight, like a rickshaw, it's rude
Trying to trudge through the stream of my impulsive
Moods
See, you and I
We’ve fallen down a pitfall or two
And I got the thick skull to prove
But I am rarely honest
Cuz every time we discuss this topic
My guard is up and every word we exchange is toxic
I never say “you're right” to your face
But I'mma say “you're right” in this song
You’re right and I'm wrong
In fact, as I'm writing this song
I realize I'm sitting here alone tonight and you're
Gone
So I say
If I could take ‘em all back, done
I would take 'em all back but one
I would take 'em all past the sun
And leave 'em like that
And cover my tracks so they could never make it back to
Find me

If I could take ‘em all back, true
I would take 'em all back but you
I would take 'em all past the moon
And leave 'em like that
And cover my tracks so never put 'em in a rap
Like I did you

You know
