[intro]
Hmmm, now ask yourself
Who’s the…
One of these motherfuckers different
Straight gangsta mack
Straight gangsta mack
Straight gangsta mack
Straight gangsta mack

Who's the mack? Is it some brother in a big hat
Thinking he can get any bitch with a good rap?
Rolling in a fucked-up Lincoln
Leaning to the side So it looks like he's sinkin’
Into that leopard interior
This nigga thinks every girl's inferior
To his tongue, get a dumb bitch sprung
As she's selling more butt
Don't even get a cut, of the money
His name is Sonny
And he know the play
And hope to God that he don't find a runaway
That's looking to become a star
He'll have your ass in and out of every car
With every Ron and Rick, sucking every john's dick
Come short of the money, get your ass kicked
You don't like it but you still call him hunk
Last night the nigga put yo' ass in the trunk
You wanna leave but Sonny start talkin’ fast
And it make you wanna go and sell more ass
He's getting rich, you his bitch and it's like that
Now ask yourself

[chorus]
Who's the mack?
Who's the mack?

It is that fool that wanna pump the gas?
Give you a sad story and you give him cash?
He starts mackin’ and mackin’ and you suckin’
Quick to say, “I'm down on my luck”
And you give a dollar or a quarter and he's on his way
Then you see his sorry ass the next day
Are you the one getting played like a sucka?
Or do you say, "Get a job, motherfucker"
Every day, the story gets better
He's wearing dirty pants and a funky-ass sweater
He claims he wants to get somethin’ to eat
But every day you find yourself getting’ beat
He gets your money and you run across the street
Don't look both ways 'cause he's in a daze
And almost get his ass hit for the crack
Now ask yourself
Who's the mack?

[chorus]
Who's the mack?
Who's the mack?

Is it that nigga in that club asking,
“Have you ever been in a hot tub?”
I know the game so I watch it unfold
When I see the boy pinned to your earlobe
He's talking shit and you crack a smile
When he tell you that he can go buck wild
For a girl like you and make it feel good
You know it's drama but it sound real good
He started dragging and hopefully
He can start tagging, the pussy
So he can keep bragging
He say, "I'm 'a leave baby, can you go with me?"
You wanna do it but you feeling like a H-O-E
You grab his hand, you leave and it's over
'Cause the nigga ain't nothing but a rover
You knew the game and you still ended up on your back
Now ask yourself

[chorus]
Who's the mack?
Who's the mack?

Macking is the game and everybody's playing
And as long as you believe what they saying
Consider the M-A-C-K and with no delay
They are gonna get all the play
But when it comes to me, save the drama for your momma
It's Ice Cube and you know that I'm a
Mack in my own right
When it comes to rhyme and rap
'Cause all i do is kick facts
Unlike Iceberg Slimm
And all of them be claimin' P-I-M-P
No, I'm not going out that way
I'm just a straight up N-I-double-G-A
Next time you get over on a fool
And you did the shit like real smooth
Thank Ice Cube for giving up the facts
And ask yourself

[chorus]
Who's the mack?
Who's the mack?

Straight gangsta mack
Straight gangsta mack
Straight gangsta mack
Straight gangsta mack
