Talkin’, talkin’ to the people

Tryin’ to get them to go your way

Tellin’ lies, not to worry

That we won’t be led astray

So blind, unsignified

Your opponents always lying

Think about the mistakes you make

I believe America’s at stake

You know, busin’, busin’ is the issue

If you have a plan wager

If you have a plan

If you’ve got a master plan

Got to vote for you

Hey hey, got to vote for you

You’re the man

We don’t wanna hear no more lies

About how you planned a compromise

We want our dollar value increased

Employment to rise

The nation’s taxation

Is causin’ all, all this inflation

Don’t give us no V sign

Turn around and rob the people blind

Economics is the issue

Do you have a plan wager?

‘Cause if you’ve got a master plan

Got to vote for you

You’re the man

(8 times, over scat singing):

Don’t you understand?

There’s misery in the land

(One version fades out during this; read further for a longer version)

People marching on Washington

Better hear what they have to say

‘Cause the tables just might turn against you, brother

Set around Election Day

Politics and hypocrites

Is turning us all into lunatics

Can you take the guns from our sons?

Right all the wrongs this administration has done?

Peace and freedom is the issue

Do you have a plan wager?

If you’ve got a plan

If you’ve got a master plan

Got to vote for you

Hey hey, got to vote for you

‘Cause you’re the man

(repeat and fade):

Got to vote for you

Uh uh, yo
They plan was to knock me out the top of the game
But I overstand they truth is all lame
I hold cannons that shoot balls of flames
Right in they fat mouth then I carve my name
Nas – too real, Nas – true king
It’s however you feel, g’head, you swing
Your arms too short to box with god
I don’t kill soloists only kill squads
Fame went to they head, so now it’s "Fuck Nas"
Yesterday you begged for a deal, today you tough guys
I seen it comin
Soon as I popped my first bottle I spotted my enemies tryna’ do what I do
Came in with my style, so I fathered you
I kept changin on the world since "…Barbeque"
Now you wanna hang with niggas I hung with
Fuck bitches I hit, it’s funny I once said…
If I, ever make a record
I take a check and put something away for a rainy day to make my exit
But look at me now, ten years deep
Since the project, ??
I never asked to be top of rap’s elite
Just a ghetto child tryna’ learn the traps of the streets
But look at me now

[Chorus]
"You’re the man" "You’re the man"
"You’re the man" "You’re the man"
"You’re the man" "You’re the man"
"You’re the man" "You’re the man"
"You’re the man" "You’re the man"

But wait a sec’, give me time to explain, women and fast cars
And diamond rings can poison a rap star
It’s suicidal, how I smoke in so much la’
I saw a dead bird flyin through a broken sky
Wish I could flap wings and fly away
To where black kings and Ghana stay
So I could get on my flesh right away
But that’ll be the day when it’s peace
When my gat don’t need to spray
When these streets are safe to play
Sex with death, indulge in these women
Vision my own skeleton swimmin in eternal fire
Broads play with pentagrams in they vagina
Like the Exorcist, then they gave birth to my seeds
I beg for God’s help, why they love hurtin me?
I’m your disciple, a thug certainly
I’m the N the A to the S-I-R
If I wasn’t I must’ve been Escobar
Forty-five in my waist, starin at my reflection
In the mirror, sittin still in the chair like my conception
When everything around me got cloudy, the chair became a king’s throne
My destiny found me
It was clear why the struggle was so painful
Metamorphosis, this is what I changed to
And God, I’m so thankful

[Chorus to fade]
