I'm up and I'm allright
 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
