Freaking Out the Neighborhood Lyrics

Sorry... Mama...
There are times, I get carried away...
Please... Don't worry...
Next time I'm home, I'll still be the same...

And I know, it's no fun...
When your, first son...
Gets up, to no good...
Starts freaking out the neighborhood...

Really... I'm fine...
Never been better, got no job on the line...
Sincerely... Don't worry...
Same old boy that you hoped you would find...

And I know, it's no fun...
When your, first son...
Gets up, to no good...
Starts freaking out the neighborhood...

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This song is about when Mac was playing a drunken gig and somehow drumsticks ended up in his ass. Cause of this internet age we're living in, a video ended up of it online. One thing led to another and his mother and grandmother saw it. This is an apology to them.

This specific song definitely shouldn't be on this website... lol

Quoting Demarco about these lyrics: "I was really, really drunk," he says. "My clothes came off. As beer poured into me, some drum sticks found their way into my bare rectum. My friend took a video of it and my mom and aunt ended up seeing it on YouTube. I'm not going to make any promises that I won't do something like that again, so if something else comes up, I can just put the song on for her again."
