Lyrics - The Man. Well, you can tell everybody. Yeah you can tell everybody. Go ahead and tell everybody. I'm the man, I'm the man, I'm the man. Yes I am (x3). I'm the man (x3). I believe every lie that I ever told. Paid for every heart that I ever stole. Played my cards and I didn't fold. Well it ain't that hard when you got soul. (This is my world). Somewhere I heard that life is a test. I've been through the worst, but I still give my best. God made my mold different from the rest. Then he broke that mold so I know I'm blessed. (This is my world). Stand up now and face the sun. Won't hide my tail or turn and run. It's time to do what must be done. And be a king when kingdom comes. Well, you can tell everybody. Yeah you can tell everybody. Go ahead and tell everybody. I'm the man, I'm the man, I'm the man. Well, you can tell everybody. Yeah you can tell everybody. Go ahead and tell everybody. I'm the man, I'm the man, I'm the man. Yes I am (x3). I'm the man (x3). I got all the answers to your questions. I'll be the teacher you can be the lesson. I'll be the preacher be the confession. I'll be the quick relief to all your stressing. It's a thin line between love and hate. Is you really real or is you really fake. |--| I'm a soldier standing on my feet. No surrender and I won't retreat. (This is my world). Stand up now and face the sun. Won't hide my tail or turn and run. It's time to do what must be done. And be a king when kingdom comes. Well, you can tell everybody. Yeah you can tell everybody. Go ahead and tell everybody. I'm the man, I'm the man, I'm the man. Well, you can tell everybody. Yeah you can tell everybody. Go ahead and tell everybody. I'm the man, I'm the man, I'm the man. Yes I am (x3). I'm the man (x3). I'm the man. Go ahead and tell everybody. What I'm saying y'all. I'm the man. Go ahead and tell everybody. What I'm saying y'all. CHORUS. Well, you can tell everybody. Yeah you can tell everybody. Go ahead and tell everybody. I'm the man, I'm the man, I'm the man. Well, you can tell everybody. Yeah you can tell everybody. Go ahead and tell everybody. I'm the man, I'm the man, I'm the man. Yes I am (x3). I'm the man (x3). Song Credits: The Man.
