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 shit 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 my 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 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.
