MAC LETHAL - Cover My Tracks lyrics

rate me

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.<br />
