The Mackin’ Game

[Intro: Teena Marie]
What's my name? Say my name
(Lady to the Tee)
Ain't nothing but the mackin' game
What's my name? Say my name
(Lady to the Tee)
Ain't nothing but the mackin' game
All my mackin' women throw the left to the right now
(Super fly)

[Verse 1: Teena Marie]
Me and my girls
Throwing long hair and afros to the wind
We got a love jones, baby, kicking in
Just for you
True blue
Lights in the basement
Moaning, groaning, thuggish ruggish boning
So smooth, silky and the youngblood's here
Come here, daddy
It's the pioneer group
Put the needle on the record
I've got things to do to you
I'm faded
All the pimps are down on me 'cause I want you
Now

[Verse 2: Medusa]
Don't let the feminine gestures
Make you believe I can't pimp this lecture
I'm what you call a mack professor
With volumes and macklapedias
To touch him and work her
My first word, serve
I want ice down your back, baby
To correct your posture
'Cause you're much too fly now
To walk around with your shoulders down
(What you mean?)
I want you to feel secure when I'm around
(Ah)
That's mackin'
Oh, don't sleep, I gets down, mack packin'
This is how you tell
See how well I taught her
Ask about your foreplays to dismiss the imposters
I'm not hating, just enhancing your game (Your game)
Incense, candles, rose petals in the bath water, mayne (Mayne)
And one important thing
A lioness ain't meant to be tamed
Now, baby, that's game

[Verse 3: Teena Marie]
Dreaming at the front door, winter's coming quick
So I runs out the back door with my nickel bag
Up against the wall (Up against the wall)
Down the other side (Down the other side)
Roller coaster ends and melts
No boredom on this ride
When the hunter game gets captured by the game
Ain't it a shame?
I'm gonna put him on the streets
I'm gonna make him say my name
(Everything you needs to know 'bout mackin', you gots to get from me)

[Chorus: Teena Marie]
What's my name? Say my name
(Say my name)
Ain't nothing but the mackin' game
(Say my name)
What's my name? Say my name
(Lady to the Tee)
Rewrite the mackin' game
What's my name? Say my name
(Say my name)
Ain't nothing but the mackin' game
What's my name? Say my name
(Lady to the Tee)
Ain't nothing but the mackin' game
All my mackin' women throw the left to the right now
($45 was big money) (For platform shoes)

[Interlude: Teena Marie, MC Lyte]
Back in the day
But I got mine
Righteous time surely wasn't easy, easy
(Tell 'em, Teena)

[Verse 4: MC Lyte]
I gotta rewrite the mackin' game, it ain't the same
As it used to be back in the days
Following you in the rain
I've got a whole new strategy
Use you up and drop you off where you have to be
And, no love, don't take it as a tragedy
You're still the one I give the key to my chastity
Hit you up and rub you down quite nastily
Have you calling my name, coming right after me
You asked where did the love go
Hide and seek, we can find it on the down low
Watch me peak like an avalanche, didn't you know
Erupt like a volcano, watch my lava flow
I like it slow, ever in need to rush
As you're pushing, I've got the Midas touch, huh
The name is Lyte and I'm too wild to tame
Ripping down like an avalanche with the mackin' game

[Verse 5: Teena Marie]
Ripping down like an avalanche brings down glaciers
Player, flossy floss, baby, catch my vapors
Lay you over to the little, that lady sings, I'm swinging
Just because he wants to make love to me
Doesn't mean he loves me
He thinks that I don't know that he thinks I'm fine
He thinks I don't know that he wants to blow my mind
When the hunter gets captured by the game
Ain't it a shame? (A shame)
(Yeah, I got a whole new strategy)
I'm gonna put him on the streets
I'm gonna make him say my name

[Chorus: Teena Marie, Medusa]
What's my name? Say my name
(What's my name?)
Ain't nothing but the mackin' game
(Yeah) (Say my name)
What's my name? Say my name
Ain't nothing but the mackin' game
What's my name? Say my name
(Say my name now) (Say my name)
Ain't nothing but the mackin' game
(Say my name now)
What's my name? Say my name
(I'm gonna rewrite the mackin' game)
Ain't nothing but the mackin' game

[Outro: Teena Marie]
Somebody get De De, she's out of control (Ooh)
You want me to what? Sing in your ear?
That's funny
Fire and Desire? Ha
Yo, busta, why don't you go get me something to eat
Then run by the DJ booth and tell him to play that song that I like
Yeah, you know the one, by Alicia Keys
Yeah
Yeah, you know my name
