So I had a quick question...Does anyone know the meaning behind the song, "Return of the Mack" by Mark Morrison? Thanks in advance guys.

Here are the lyrics:

Mark Morrison - Return Of The Mack

Ooooh, come on. Ooh yeah.
Well, I tried to tell you so (Yes, I did)
But I guess you didn't know, as the saddest story goes
Baby, now I got the flow cause I knew it from the start
Baby, when you broke my heart that I had to come again
And show you that I'm with

You lied to me
All those times I said that I loved you
You lied to me
Yes, I tried, yes, I tried
You lied to me
Even though you know I'd die for you
You lied to me
Yes, I cried, yes, I cried

Return of the Mack
It is Return of the Mack
Come on Return of the Mack
Oh, my god You know that I'll be back
Here I am

Return of the Mack
Once again Return of the Mack
Top of the world Return of the Mack
Watch my flow You know that I'll be back
Here I go

So, I'm back up in the game Running things like half my swing
Lettin' all the people know That I'm back to run the show
'Cause what you did you know was wrong And all the nasty things you've
done
So, baby, listen carefully While I sing my comeback song

You lied to me Cause she said she'd never turn on me
You lied to me But you did, but you did
You lied to me All this pain you said I'd never feel
You lied to me but I do, but I do do do

Return of the Mack
It is Return of the Mack
Hold on Return of the Mack
Don't you know You know that I'll be back (Here I go)
Return of the Mack Oh, little girl
Return of the Mack Once more, girl
Return of the Mack Up and down
You know that I'll be back round and round

Ahhhh, Mark
Stop worrying about your big break

You lied to me Cause he said she'd never turn on me
You lied to me But you did, but you did
You lied to me All this pain you said I'd never feel
You lied to me but I do, but I do do do

Return of the Mack It is
Return of the Mack Come on
Return of the Mack Oh, my god You know that I'll be back
Here I am

Return of the Mack Once again
Return of the Mack Top of the world
Return of the Mack Watch my flow
You know that I'll be back
Don't you know.

Return of the Mack.....

It's about coming back from heartbreak.

It's about how to have a good R&B/pop song nearly ruined by a boring repetitive chorus.

It's a fucken party song! Drunks don't want intricate choruses.

And if you're trying to be a mack, you don't wanna fuck up the words in front of someone either.

Okay then.

Are you slurring?

I remember the first time I heard that shit. I didn't think people would STILL be talking about it 10 years later. I even heard it on a damn commercial. If that ain't a Montell Jordan song...

The song was cool, but the face that went with the singer was interesting to say the least . UGLY.

Jason! haha see that?

LOL
I felt like I was talking to you when I read this post. Your second response about the song's meaning had me laughing in my chair - and it is probably true.

This song is my Mom's FAVORITE song..EVER...she has bought the CD single, like 5 times cus she keep losing it. (That is like me and Michael's Invincible.) Except, at least mine came with different covers. Ha!

And yes...this SHOULD Be a Montell Jordan song. But then again, I think "This Is How We Do It" should be a MJ song!

Hearing that cover version would be like heaven for the ears..or something close to it.
