Lyrics
I AM THE MAN
Do you wanna be the Man?
(I Am The Man!)
Do you wanna be the Man?
(I Am The Man!)
If you wanna be the Man
then you gotta take a stand
Do you wanna be the Man?
(I Am The Man!)
Step right up
own that shit
your bodies not moving
but you're runnin those lips
what's got you?
keeping you back
someone gonna move in
gonna smack that ass
yo buddy
hold on now
the room is full of posers
they don't know
you know you want it
you're gonna get
take it when its ready
fuckin' steal that shit
Do you wanna be the Man?
(I Am The Man!)
Do you wanna be the Man?
(I Am The Man!)
If you wanna be the Man
then you gotta take a stand
Do you wanna be the Man?
(I Am The Man!)
If you can think it
then you can have it
get your act together
honey take your chance
dont say it
if you don't mean it
do it cuz you wanna
you can't help yourself
you aspire
you a liar
you everything you spend your time
thinking about
i know it
i learned it
first hand
a boy is not a man
until he takes a stand
Do you wanna be the Man?
(I Am The Man!)
Do you wanna be the Man?
(I Am The Man!)
If you wanna be the Man
then you better take a stand
Do you wanna be the Man?
(I Am The Man!)
