I'm up and I'm alright
Push on with all my might
Got to find a way to get away today

Because I am the man
What?
I am the man
What?
Who's the man
Try to front like you want to try and understand
But you don't know man
Through the times that we shared
I know that you care
And I know you

And I'll go where you want to go cause I feel this way
And I care what you got to say cause I feel this way
So I stepped up and I said I just don't understand
He said just come and check it out man

I'm up and I feel fine
I won't drop till I get mine
I got to find a way to get away today

Because I am the man
What?
I am the man
What?
Who's the man?
Try to front like you want to try to understand
But you don't know man
Through the times that we shared
You know that I care
Cause I know you

Here we go
Hip hop nation, vibe affiliation
All that I need is mind emancipation
Got to find a way to get away
Got to find something to make me want to stay
Cause all that I see is jaded
Now I can't even see straight cause I'm faded
Stressed cause of strain and you know that I'm leaving today
And I care what you say, but I feel this way
