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 Nothing can break, nothing can break me down I'm the man, come round and 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 But 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 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
