Return of the Mack
The Resurgence of Resilience
Lyrics
Well I tried to tell you so
Expressing an attempt to communicate a message
But I guess you didn't know, as I said the story goes
Noting the lack of awareness on the listener's part, referring to a past situation
Baby, now I got the flow
Feeling confident and in control now
But I knew it from the start
Having foreseen the situation from the beginning
Baby, when you broke my heart
Recalling a moment of heartbreak
That I had to come again, and show you that I'm with
Expressing the need to return and prove commitment
(You lied to me)
Referring to deception in the past
all those times I said that I love you
Reaffirming love despite past lies
(You lied to me) yes, I tried, yes, I tried
Acknowledging efforts made despite deception
(You lied to me) even though you know I'd die for you
Expressing willingness to sacrifice for the relationship
(You lied to me) Cause I try, yes, I cried
Acknowledging emotional struggle and tears
It's the
Introduction to the return theme
(Return of the Mack) it is
Confirming the return of the individual
(Return of the Mack) come on
Encouraging participation in the return
(Return of the Mack)
Repeating the theme of return
(You know that I'll be back) here I am
Asserting the inevitable return
(Return of the Mack) once again(Return of the Mack) watch my flow
Repeating the return theme and showcasing confidence
(Return of the Mack)
Empty line for musical transition
(You know that I'll be back) here I go
Reaffirming the inevitability of the return
Well I'm back up in the game
Announcing the comeback to the game
Doing things like my swing
Comparing actions to a specific style (swing)
Letting all the people know
Informing others about the return and intention to lead
That I'm back to run the show
Expressing self-awareness of past wrongs
What you knew you did was wrong
Highlighting negative actions committed
And all the nasty things you've done
Referencing past hurtful behavior
So, listen carefully
Encouraging attentive listening to the comeback narrative
While I sing my come-back song
Preparing to present the comeback through a song
(You lied to me)
Reiterating the past betrayal
'cause she said she'd never turn on me
Recalling a promise of loyalty
(You lied to me) but you did, but you did
Acknowledging the betrayal despite assurances
(You lied to me) all these pain you said I'd never feel
Referencing promised avoidance of pain
(You lied to me) but I do, but I do, do, do
Confirming the experience of the promised pain
It's the
Reiteration of the return theme
(Return of the Mack) it is
Confirming the return with confidence
(Return of the Mack) come on
Encouraging participation in the return
(Return of the Mack)
Repeating the theme of return
(You know that I'll be back) here I am
Asserting the inevitable return
(Return of the Mack) once again(Return of the Mack) watch my flow
Repeating the return theme and showcasing confidence
(Return of the Mack)
Empty line for musical transition
(You know that I'll be back) here I go
Reaffirming the inevitability of the return
'Cause you lied to me
Directly addressing the deception
'Cause you lied to me
Repeating the direct address to deception
'Cause you lied to me
-all these pain you said I'd never feel
Referring to the promised pain now being felt
(You lied to me) but I do, Yes I do.
Reiterating the experience of the promised pain
