How To Be the Man (Single)
[Hook]
Show you how to be the man, how to be the boss
How to come through in seven coats of the gloss
Show how to be the man... (show you how to be the man)
Show you how to be the man, how to be the boss
How to buy the car, how to buy the house
Show how to be the man... (show you how to be the man)
[Verse 1]
Back in 8th Grade, banana-berry wrists
The teacher wanted to tell me "be realistic"
That bitch tried to tell me "be realistic"
I pulled up five years later in a drop-top Six
Butterscotch twist, cheek checkered in lipstick
Might be in a movie with Barry Sanders
Might be Adam Sandler, and my cup is Pink Panther
High school? I was on the news
Fist full of jewels looks like a swimming pool
Aqua Shock Start, glow-in-the-dark shark
Mark my words, I don't need acceptance
I'm catchin' interceptions on you innocent pedestrians
Suckers keep on flexin', I'm bringin' out the rice
JODY's shakin' dice watchin' Miami Vice
Syrup in my slice? That's a given
Now I'm the man, but I'm crawlin' like a kitten
[Hook]
[Verse 2]
Yup, packin' my luggage - push get to shovin'
Show JODY lovin' when I'm flippin' Candy Pumpkin
Might hit the club, and it's the white Danny Glover
Rap Game Uncle Ben, pullin' rice out the oven
Now I'm Julius Caesar in a Versace wife beater
Would go on vacation, but my whole life's a weekend
Whole lot of money - all bills paid
Next pay day, I'm buyin' three or four chains
Now I'm picture perfect, should've been a surfer
"Ah shit, look who it is, it's the white Eddie Murphy!"
Big ballin', no stoppin' - trunk steady knockin'
Floatin' through the sky - Mary Poppins
[Hook x2]
