The Man (Letra)

Curso de Violão - Fórmula Violão

I know the score like the back of my hand
Them other boys, I don’t give a damn
They kiss on the ring, I carry the crown
Nothing can break, nothing can break me down
Don’t need no advice, I got a plan
I know the direction, the lay of the land
I know the score like the back of my hand
Them other boys, I don’t give a damn

I’m the man, come round
No-no-nothing can break
no-nothing can break me down
I’m the man, come round and
No-no-nothing can break
you can’t break me down

I got gas in the tank
I got money in the bank
I got news for you baby
you’re looking at the man
I got skin in the game
I got a household name
I got news for you baby
you’re looking at the man

When it comes to Friday, I always earn
Don’t try to teach me, I got nothing to learn
‘Cause baby I’m gifted
You see what I mean?
Usda certified lean

I’m the man, come round
No-no-nothing can break
you can’t break me down

I got gas in the tank
I got money in the bank
I got news for you baby
you’re looking at the man
I got skin in the game
I don’t feel no pain
I got news for you baby
you’re looking at the man

Who’s the man? Who’s the man?
I’m the man, I’m the man
Who’s the man with the plan?
I’m the man

Who’s the man? Who’s the man?
I’m the man, I’m the man
Who’s the man with the plan?
I’m the man

I’m the man
I’m the man

I got gas in the tank
I got money in the bank
I got news for you baby
you’re looking at the man
I got skin in the game
Headed to the hall of fame
I got news for you baby
you’re looking at the man

Right hand to God
First in command
My testimony, but I take the stand

Who’s the man? Who’s the man?
I’m the man, I’m the man
Who’s the man with the plan?
I’m the man

Who’s the man? Who’s the man?
I’m the man, I’m the man
Who’s the man with the plan?
I’m the man

I don’t give a damn
I’m the man

You can crush me
Control me
Harass me
Deny me
Enslave me in chains
But you will never hold me
Blind me
Defy me
Crush me
Control me
Harass me
Deny me
Enslave me in chains
You can crush me
Control me
Harass me
Deny me
Enslave me in chains
But you will never hold me
Remind me to find me to tear me appart
‘cause you and i both know

There’s someone that we all know
All been punched by the wounds won’t show
Be thankful that i’m taking time
To warn you about a path that could be detrimental
To your heart, pride, love and pain
Deep scars that will never heal again
He’ll consume you
You don’t want to play
I assure you
He’ll put you under his spell
(that’s the bad guy)
If the plan goes well
(that’s the bad guy)
Hypnotize
Playing jedi tricks on your mind

You can crush me
Control me
Harass me
Deny me
Enslave me in chains
But you will never hold me
Blind me
Defy me
Crush me
Control me
Harass me
Deny me
You can crush me
Control me
Harass me
Deny me
Enslave me in chains
But you will never hold me
Remind me to find me to tear me appart
‘cause you and i both know

Now cut the sinnin’ kin when he’s around
Don’t be no slave to the scoundrel
Use you and expose your inner fears
And then he’s done here
Dressed in silk
But tangled in his web
Sucked dry
Don’t say your surprised.
He’ll consume you
You don’t want to play
I assure you
He’ll put you under his spell
(that’s the bad guy)
Assume his plan will go well
(say good night to the bad guy)
Hypnotize
Playing jedi tricks on your mind.

You can crush me
Control me
Harass me
Deny me
Enslave me in chains
But you will never hold me
Blind me
Defy me
Crush me
Control me
Harass me
Deny me
You can crush me
Control me
Harass me
Deny me
Enslave me in chains
But you will never hold me
Remind me to find me to tear me appart
‘cause you and i both know
You’re the man

(who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? muahahaha)

Enslave me in chains
But you will never hold me
Enslave me in chains
But you will never hold me

You can crush me
Control me
Harass me
Deny me
Enslave me in chains
But you will never hold me
Blind me
Defy me
Crush me
Control me
Harass me
Deny me
Enslave me in chains
You can crush me
Control me
Harass me
Deny me
Enslave me in chains
But you will never hold me
Remind me to find me to tear me appart
‘cause you and i both know
You can crush me
Control me
Harass me
Deny me
Enslave me in chains
But you will never hold me
Blind me
Defy me
Crush me
Control me
Harass me
Deny me
Enslave me in chains
You can crush me
Control me
Harass me
Deny me
Enslave me in chains
But you will never hold me
Remind me to find me to tear me appart
‘cause you and i both know
You’re the man
‘cause you and i both know
(the man)

(the, the, the, the, the man)

The Man (Letra)

Curso de Violão - Fórmula Violão

[intro/chorus two: g-man]
Whenever you need good lovin
You gotta understand, it takes a man, a man
To keep you satisfied

[chubb rock]
Ha ha ha
Now toys are for boys, men don’t need mattel
Objects to manipulate and sell
The women or the girls whichever name flip your curl
Acts for nonsense delivered by the boys of the world
But i!! i.. am.. totally ignorant to that type of pride
Yell, when your groin starts to rebel
Yo l, i told you that we would sell
Oversell to the point now, that the pockets, start to thicken
How in the world did women become chickens
Is it the, alize or the weed
Shredded on the tray, that make the queens flow this way?
Me, i don’t need none of that.. type.. drama
No typical style, for the man who rules the genre
The opera, no choir boys, i’ll direct your band
Change your tune for the man, and..

[chorus one: g-man]
Whenever you need good lovin
You gotta understand, you need a man, a man
Who can provide..

[chorus two]

[chubb rock]
Ha ha ha ha
To redeem, i heard black men, i mean boys
Sayin they beat their queen, that type rush
Can’t paint the scene, dissipates the dream
Of black king, black queen, becomin one team
From actress purses, harlequin romance verses
Ghetto curses, ends up in front of nurses
The yo-g male, the bourgeoise male
The two-car male and the male that needs mail
The woman start to, get empowered by alice walker
Waiting to inhale the fumes of the new yorker
Question – did you trust her, in front of pimps players
And hustlers, does she need a benz or a duster
End of question, start of answer, contradiction
Exhale, dangle in romance fiction
The love test, is like do you need to understand
Don’t cram, you need a real man, and..

[chorus one] + [chorus two]

[chubb rock]
Ha ha
While the light gleams in her aspect
Does that mean respect, voiced by franklin, ignored by the inept
Baggy pants wearer, million man march bearer
All those who suffered through the agent orange era
Do we really maim the beautiful ones
The sons similak by anger, while the women get shunned
It’s above me, another cop out, another rot out
Swapping +tears for fears+, while we +shout+ out
Past pain, that reverberates the claim
That the disrespect started when we, were in chains
Could be – but should be, it wouldn’t be, if we
Real men, scriptured by the zen
And even then, women must know which is which
When their groins itch, for the rich damn
There’s a lot to try, to somehow understand
Boys will be boys, but find a real man and..

[chorus one] + [chorus two]
[chorus one] + [chorus two]

[chubb rock – over second repeat]
Queens, to chickenheads yo, how the hell did it happen?
Ow! man.. the man.. ha ha
{whenever you need good lovin}
Peace!

The Man (Letra)

Curso de Violão - Fórmula Violão

I don’t know why i like him, i just only know i do
I don’t know why i trust him, i just know his heart is true
I don’t know why he’s more a man than any man i know
I don’t know how i know the man’s for real but i still know
The man is more than what meets the eye
He is worn and weary from life
He is rugged but he’s got style
The man has got what matters inside

Weary, yes he must get weary but he doesn’t say
But you can read between the lines that wind along his face
The man has got his memories that he hides inside his mind
And you can see the sadness in the eyes they hide behind

The man is more than what meets the eye
He is worn and weary from life
He is rugged but he’s got style
The man has got what matters inside

Love him, yes i’ve always loved him and i always will
He holds a place in my heart no one else could ever fill
He’s always been my hero, the best friend i’ve ever had
The man is something special and i’m proud that he’s my dad

The man is more than what meets the eye
He is worn and weary from life
He is rugged but he’s got style
The man has got what matters inside

(with paul mccartney)

There’s a man
Who plays the game of life so well
Ooh, there’s such a man
His thoughts you can never tell, ooh
And it’s just the way he
Thought it would be
‘cause the day has come
For him to be free
I’m alive and i’m here forever

This is the man
And it’s just the way she
Thought it would be
As he says, something has
Happened to me
Then he laughs, he kicks
And rolls up his sleeves
I’m alive and i’m here forever
This is the man

There’s a man
Everybody thought they knew
Ooh, there’s such a man
He’s not like me and you, ooh

And it’s just the way she
Thought it would be
As he says, something has
Happened to me
Then he laughs, he kicks
And rolls up his sleeves
I’m alive and i’m here forever
This is the man

And it’s just the way she
Thought it would be
As he says, something has
Happened to me
Then he laughs, he kicks
And rolls up his sleeves
I’m alive and i’m here forever
This is the man

And it’s just the way she
Thought it would be
As he says, something has
Happened to me
Then he laughs, he kicks
And rolls up his sleeves
I’m alive and i’m here forever
This is the man
(this is the man)
Ooh yeah
(ooh, yeah)
This is the man
(this is the man)
This is the man

The Man (Letra)

Curso de Violão - Fórmula Violão

No, I don’t wanna hate you
Just wish you’d never gone for the man
And waited two weeks at least
Before you let him take you
I stayed true
I kind of knew you liked the dude from private school
He’s waiting for the time to move
I knew he had his eyes on you
He’s not the right guy for you
Don’t hate me cos I write the truth
No, I would never lie to you
But it was never fine to lose you
And what a way to find out
It never came from my mouth
You never changed your mind
But you were just afraid to find out
But fuck it, I won’t be changing the subject, I love it
I’ll make your little secret public, its nothing
I’m just disgusted with the skeletons you sleep with in your closet to get back at me
Trapped and I’m lacking sleep
Fact is you’re mad at me because I backtrack so casually
You’re practically my family
If we married then I’ll guess you’d have to be
But, tragically, our love just lost the will to live
But would I kill to give it one more shot
I think not

I don’t love you, baby
I don’t need you, baby
I don’t want you, no
Anymore

I don’t love you, baby
I don’t need you, baby
I don’t wanna love you, no
Anymore

Recently, I tend to zone out
Up in my headphones to Holocene
You promised your body, but I’m away so much
I stay more celibate than in a monastery
I’m not cut out for life on the road
Cos I didn’t know I’d miss you this much
And at the time we’d just go, so sue me
I guess I’m not the man that you need
Ever since you went to uni
I’ve been sofa surfing with a rucksack
Full of less cash and I guess that could get bad
But when I broke the industry
That’s when I broke your heart
I was supposed to chart and celebrate
But good things are over fast
I know it’s hard to deal with and see this
I tend to turn you off and switch on my professional features
Then I turn the music off
And all I’m left with is to pick up my personal pieces, Jesus
I never really want to believe this
Got advice from my dad and he
Told me that family is all I’ll ever have and need
I guess I’m unaware of it
Success is nothing if you have no one left to share it with

I don’t love you baby
I don’t need you baby
I don’t want you no
Anymore

I don’t love you baby
I don’t need you baby
I don’t wanna love you no
Anymore

And since you left
I’ve given up my days off
It’s what I need to stay strong
I know you have a day job
But mine is 24/7
I fell like writing a book
I guess I lied in the hook
Cos I still love you and I need you by my side if I could
The irony is if my career and music didn’t exist
In 6 years, yeah, you’d probably be my wife with a kid
I’m frightened to think if I depend on cider and drink
And lighting a spliff I fall into a spiral and its
Just hiding my misguiding thoughts that I’m trying to kill
And I’d be writing my will before I’m 27
I’ll die from a thrill
Go down in history as just a wasted talent
Can I face the challenge
Or did I make a mistake erasing
It’s only therapy
My thoughts just get ahead of me
Eventually I’ll be fine I know that it was never meant to be
Either way I guess I’m not prepared
But I’ll say this
These things happen for a reason and you can’t change
Take my apology
I’m sorry for the honesty
But I had to get this off my chest

I don’t love you baby
I don’t need you baby
I don’t want you no
Anymore

I don’t love you baby
I don’t need you baby
I don’t wanna love you no
Anymore
