02:14Mine's here

02:15You

02:17You

02:19You

02:21I said, bring it on down.

02:25I said, bring it on down.

02:33I'm bringing it.

02:37All right, hold on, hold on.

02:41All right, sit back. All right, keep it going, just barely.

02:45Yeah? Just barely, just barely, right?

02:49A little less barely.

02:53All right, sit back.

02:55Yeah.

02:57What's on your mind?

02:59When you wrote this song,

03:01how'd you come up with this thing?

03:03What's that all about?

03:05I don't know, what's it about?

03:07It sounds like you're,

03:09you're not feeling like you're a...

03:11Well, you know,

03:13I was doing a rap song at the time,

03:17but still, even now, there's a lot of braggadocio

03:21in rap music.

03:23There's a lot of boasting.

03:25I'm the Mac, I'm the gangster, I'm the top.

03:27Tough guys, yeah.

03:29I'm better than everybody.

03:31And I just thought I would just,

03:33you know, do something contrary

03:35I'm not the Mac.

03:37And if I'm not the Mac, what am I?

03:39You know, and sort of being proud

03:41of not having to be the Mac.

03:43I agree.

03:45Because some people are sort of,

03:47they're using it as a crutch,

03:49you know, that sort of braggadocio,

03:51that kind of...

03:53And by saying...

03:54You know, strength, you know.

03:55I think by saying you're not the man,

03:57that really makes you the man.

03:59Don't you think?

04:01Well...

04:03Or the woman, you know.

04:05Either way, yeah.

04:07Either way, yeah.

04:09But, you know, it's just a good beat.

04:11And, you know, trying to do something...

04:15You didn't mean that you were like

04:17feeling suicidal or something like that,

04:19like I'm a loser.

04:20No, no, it was funny.

04:21It was supposed to be funny.

04:22Some people have sympathy for you, like I...

04:24Are you okay?

04:25Yeah, there you go.

04:26I think they're taking it a little too literally.

04:28There you go, right.

04:29Yeah, I think that's what's going on.

04:32So what's that part that you're saying there anyway?

04:35It's...

04:36Well, it's the funky bilingual, you know.

04:38Which back in the 9-1,

04:40when we wrote the song...

04:41Back in 91, yeah.

04:43It was 91, January 92,

04:45something like that, you know.

04:47Just right on the tide, right on the crest.

04:49The wave was coming over.

04:50We just kind of...

04:52We were on the boogie board.

04:53We just kind of...

04:54Floated in.

04:55So it says...

04:56Soy...

04:57Soy un perdido.

04:58Which is, I am lost.

04:59Which, you know, I was trying to do the funky bilingual,

05:01you know, like Cypress Hill or something.

05:03Oh, I see.

05:04And...

05:05And...

05:06But you can't say I'm a loser in Spanish.

05:08It doesn't exist in the language or the culture, you know.

05:11Or would you say you were a loser?

05:13So you're saying you're just lost?

05:14Yeah, you're just saying I'm lost.

05:16You're lost in...

05:17You need a map.

05:18Yeah.

05:19Yeah.

05:20Why don't you kill me or something.

05:21Okay.

05:22Yeah, why don't you...
