About When in Rome

Akin to the current popular style of rap, Mac shows that he can also kill a trap beat. i.e. “When in Rome do as the Romans do”. The song is produced by ID Labs and Sledgren. This is the short version of the proverb, “when in Rome, do as the Romans do.” The meaning behind the phrase is that one should adapt to the behavior of the people around you. Therefore, we can’t blame Mac for his actions, he’s simply following the norm. The origin of the phrase traces as far back as 390AD .
