Nas - You're The Man Lyrics
Uh uh, yoThey plan was to knock me out the top of the gameBut I overstand they truth is all lameI hold cannons that shoot balls of flamesRight in they fat mouth then I carve my nameNas - too real, nas - true kingIts however you feel, ghead, you swingYour arms too short to box with godI dont kill soloists only kill squadsFame went to they head, so now its ***** nasYesterday you begged for a deal, today you tough guysI seen it cominSoon as I popped my first bottle I spotted my enemies tryna do what I doCame in with my style, so I fathered youI kept changin on the world since ...barbequeNow you wanna hang with niggas I hung with***** *****es I hit, its funny I once said...If i, ever make a recordI take a check and put something away for a rainy day to make my exitBut look at me now, ten years deepSince the project, ? ?I never asked to be top of raps eliteJust a ghetto child tryna learn the traps of the streetsBut look at me now[chorus]Youre the man youre the manYoure the man youre the manYoure the man youre the manYoure the man youre the manYoure the man youre the manBut wait a sec, give me time to explain, women and fast carsAnd diamond rings can poison a rap starIts suicidal, how I smoke in so much laI saw a dead bird flyin through a broken skyWish I could flap wings and fly awayTo where black kings and ghana staySo I could get on my flesh right awayBut thatll be the day when its peaceWhen my gat dont need to sprayWhen these streets are safe to playSex with death, indulge in these womenVision my own skeleton swimmin in eternal fireBroads play with pentagrams in they vaginaLike the exorcist, then they gave birth to my seedsI beg for gods help, why they love hurtin me?Im your disciple, a thug certainlyIm the n the a to the s-i-rIf I wasnt I mustve been escobarForty-five in my waist, starin at my reflectionIn the mirror, sittin still in the chair like my conceptionWhen everything around me got cloudy, the chair became a kings throneMy destiny found meIt was clear why the struggle was so painfulMetamorphosis, this is what I changed toAnd god, Im so thankful[chorus to fade]
